Teki Kuchikukan Tanchi! - Enemy Destroyer Detected!

Stephen M Resar

Beschreibung

In the silent depths of the Pacific, where Japan’s sensuikan—the I-boats of the Imperial Navy—stalked Allied convoys, a new weapon turned the tide of war. TEKI KUCHIKUKAN, TANCHI! ENEMY DESTROYER, DETECTED! tells the gripping story of the Hedgehog, a British-designed anti-submarine device that armed U.S. ships with devastating precision. From the USS England’s six kills in twelve days to the USS Batfish’s triple sinking in 1944, this revolutionary weapon crushed Japan’s submarine fleet, securing the supply lines that fueled the Allied victories at Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
 
Drawing on naval archives, survivor accounts, and the voices of Japanese and American sailors, this book unveils the human cost of a hidden war. The cry of “Teki kuchikukan, tanchi!” marked moments of terror for submariners facing the Hedgehog’s silent, lethal strike. This meticulously researched narrative explores the strategy, technology, and sacrifice that defined the Pacific War’s underwater campaign, revealing how a single weapon forged a silent victory that changed the course of history.

Promise to Pay - The Politics...

Katie A. Moore

An incisive account of the crucial role money played in the formation and development of British North America. Promise to Pay follows America’s first paper money—the “bills of credit” of British North America—from its seventeenth-century origins as a means of war finance to its pivotal role in catalyzing the American Revolution. Katie A. Moore combs through treasury records, account books, and the bills themselves to tell a new story of money’s origins that challenges economic orthodoxy and mainstream histories. Promise to Pay shows how colonial governments imposed paper bills on settler communities through existing labor and kinship relations, their value secured by thousands of individual claims on the public purse—debts—and the state’s promise to take them back as payment for taxes owed. Born into a world of hierarchy and deference, early American money eroded old social ties and created new asymmetries of power, functioning simultaneously as a ticket to the world of goods, a lifeline for those on the margins, and a tool of imperial domination.Grounded in sustained engagement with scholarship from multiple disciplines, Promise to Pay breathes new life into old debates and offers an incisive account of the centrality of money in the politics and conflicts of empire, community, and everyday life.

A Pedagogy of Kindness

Catherine J. Denial

Academia is not, by and large, a kind place. Individualism and competition are what count. But without kindness at its core, Catherine Denial suggests, higher education fails students and instructors—and its mission—in critical ways. 
 
 
 
Part manifesto, part teaching memoir, part how-to guide, A Pedagogy of Kindness urges higher education to get aggressive about instituting kindness, which Denial distinguishes from niceness. Having suffered beneath the weight of just "getting along," instructors need to shift every part of what they do to prioritizing care and compassion—for students as well as for themselves. 
 
 
 
A Pedagogy of Kindness articulates a fresh vision for teaching, one that focuses on ensuring justice, believing people, and believing in people. Offering evidence-based insights and drawing from her own rich experiences as a professor, Denial offers practical tips for reshaping syllabi, assessing student performance, and creating trust and belonging in the classroom. Her suggestions for concrete, scalable actions  outline nothing less than a transformational discipline—one in which, together, we create bright new spaces, rooted in compassion, in which all engaged in teaching and learning might thrive.
