Defeating the Japanese Zeros
In the months before the attack on Pearl Harbor, a report from Nationalist China described a mysterious "super fighter plane" used by Japanese forces, said to be faster and more maneuverable than anything in America’s arsenal. U.S. intelligence dismissed it as exaggeration, underestimating Japan’s capabilities. The plane was later identified as the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero," which dominated the Pacific skies after Pearl Harbor.Lieutenant Commander John S. "Jimmie" Thach of the U.S. Navy recognized the threat posed by the Zero and devised a tactic to counter it. With the Japanese preparing to attack Midway Atoll, Thach trained his pilots in the "Thach Weave," a revolutionary formation designed to offset the Zero’s superior performance. This tactic proved highly effective in air combat and allowed Thach’s squadron to neutralize the Japanese advantage.The battle at Midway became a turning point in the Pacific War. The U.S. Navy’s victory, aided by Thach’s tactical innovation, crippled Japan’s offensive capabilities. After Midway, the Japanese would never win another major battle, while the Americans would never lose one, marking a decisive shift in the war’s outcome.

Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah, Rachelle Toarmino’s highly anticipated second collection of poems, is an intimate, ecstatic examination of the wonders of common speech. As automatic and wholehearted as a hell yeah between friends, the poems interject into various sites of the interpersonal—from a work email and doctor’s office to a long-distance call and Yahoo! Answers rabbit hole—to measure the strange, mundane, and ancient ways we relate and respond to one another. In an alternating rhythm of logic and lyric, doubt and doubling down, Toarmino regifts plain and inherited language to arrive at a theory for familiarity and something like faith: how we know what we know and why we share what we know. With curiosity, generosity, oddball intellect, and charm, Hell Yeah captures that gut impulse to feel yes, say so, and sing it.
Tajemství genů, 2. vydání
Kniha popisuje možné scénáře počátků života na Zemi – zda život vznikal na zemském povrchu, v hlubinách oceánů, či v zemské kůře. Je zmíněna i možnost mimozemského původu živých forem nebo alespoň stavebních kamenů života. Jádrem knihy je příběh evoluce genetické informace od prvních replikujících se molekul, pravděpodobně na bázi RNA, přes vznik genetického kódu, vznik molekul DNA, až po první buňky a následný vývoj bakterií, živočichů i rostlin. Organismy i jejich genetická informace směřují k vyšší složitosti. Cesta genů dospěje až ke člověku – druhu, který se ohlíží a nad svým příběhem zamýšlí. Genom člověka byl přečten a je zde doba, kdy si každý z nás může přečíst genom vlastní. Autor se ptá – co nám nové možnosti genomiky přinesou? Jsme na ně připraveni? Vždyť umíme genomy nejen číst, ale začínáme je i psát. Odhalí nám DNA, co dělá člověka člověkem?

The Birth of Democracy in South America
South America contains some of the oldest democracies in the world, yet we still know relatively little about how and why democracy arose in the region. Raúl L. Madrid argues that three main developments ? the professionalization of the military, the growth of parties, and splits within the ruling party ? led to democratization in the early twentieth century. Military professionalization increased the incentives for the opposition to abandon the armed struggle and focus on the electoral path to power. The growth of parties boosted the capacity of the opposition to enact and enforce democratic reforms that would level the electoral playing field. And ruling party splits created the opportunity for the opposition and ruling party dissidents to ally and push through reforms. This persuasive and original book offers important implications for the study of democracy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Alongside these, many grand Victorian public buildings, town halls, baths, markets, libraries etc, were built as well as more humble but noteworthy structures.

The book is illustrated throughout.All those interested in the history of the Wirral will find this a fascinating exploration of the Victorian heritage of this area.
