Synopsis

"Coral Sea" meticulously examines the pivotal naval battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, a key event in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Although a tactical draw, it represented a crucial strategic victory for the Allied war effort by halting Japanese expansion and preventing the capture of Port Moresby, which was a gateway to Australia. The book reveals how this clash reshaped the course of the war, highlighting the battle's profound impact on naval warfare and military strategy. The book explores the strategic importance of the Coral Sea, detailing Japan's rapid advance and the Allies' desperate need to check their momentum. The analysis draws from primary sources, including naval war diaries and decoded communications, to provide an objective account. The narrative progresses by first setting the stage with pre-war strategies, then dissecting the battle itself through the lens of naval power projection, and finally assessing the battle’s strategic outcome and its influence on subsequent events like the Battle of Midway. By focusing on the decision-making processes of commanders and the innovative use of carrier-based aircraft, "Coral Sea" offers valuable insights for military history enthusiasts and those interested in the broader implications of this decisive engagement. It emphasizes the strategic value of geographic locations, and connects to broader fields such as political science and economic history.

    Conversations for skeptics
    
    How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?
    
    These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
    The authors:
    Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition.
    Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.
