On December 14, 1944, Japanese soldiers massacred 139 of 150 American POWs. This biography tells the story of Glenn ("Mac") McDole, one of eleven young men who escaped and the last man out of Palawan Prison Camp 10A. Beginning on December 8, 1941, at the U.S. Navy Yard barracks at Cavite, the story of this young Iowa Marine continues through the fighting on Corregidor, the capture and imprisonment by the Japanese Imperial Army in May 1942, Mac's entry into the Palawan prison camp in the Philippines on August 12, 1942, the terrible conditions he and his comrades endured in the camps, and the terrible day when 139 young soldiers were slaughtered. The work details the escapes of the few survivors as they dug into refuse piles, hid in coral caves, and slogged through swamp and jungle to get to supportive Filipinos. It also contains an account and verdicts of the war crimes trials of the Japanese guards, follow-ups on the various places and people referred to in the text, with descriptions

Civil wars are nasty, brutish, and long. Monica Duffy Toft introduces this complex and timely topic. Civil wars are the most common form of large-scale political violence. In the past thirty years, the study of civil wars has been one of the largest growing segments of the international relations field. Their causes are complex, ranging from fights over access to housing, jobs, and arable land or other resources, to political contests over offices, rights, and representation. Because civil wars tend to drag on, motives and relevant actors shift. Groups form, collapse, coalesce, align and realign, and then fight amongst themselves. Governments themselves change through elections, coups, military defeats, or revolutions. Understanding the origins of civil wars and their trajectories therefore demands some appreciation of the economic, political, social, cultural, and geographic order of societies. If there is one factor that best predicts why a civil war erupts, it is a prior civil war.

Harold Arlen and His Songs is the first comprehensive book about the music of one of the great song composers of the twentieth century. Arlen wrote many standards of the American Songbook-including "Get Happy," "Over the Rainbow, "Stormy Weather," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "The Man That Got Away" - that today rank among the best known and loved. Author Walter Frisch places these and other songs in the context of a long career that took Arlen from Buffalo, New York; to Harlem's Cotton Club; to Broadway stages; and to the film studios of Hollywood. Even with their complex melodies, harmonies, and formal structures, Arlen's tunes remain accessible and memorable. As Frisch shows, he blended influences from his father's Jewish cantorial tradition, his experience as a jazz arranger and performer, and peers like Gershwin, Kern, and Berlin. Arlen always emphasized the collaborative nature of songwriting, and he worked with the top lyricists of his day, including Ted Koehler, Yip Harburg,

Sad Piano features 13 captivating pieces for solo piano by dynamic Australian composer Matthew Hindson. Each piece sits within the ever popular listening trend of sad piano music on streaming platforms and whilst sad and melancholic in mood, has the paradoxical effect of making the player feel comforted and uplifted. Suitable for intermediate to advanced level pianists. I started this collection during the Covid-19 lockdown, when I felt an intense need to write music that was personal and overtly emotional. Each Sad Piano piece explores a different emotion or frame of mind: from inner fury to love and sentimentality to the resilience many of us needed to get through lockdown." Matthew Hindson"

Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents, it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart, it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008.

Vladimir Lossky's posthumously published masterwork is now made available in English for the first time. Eckhart's Apophatic Theology is the culmination of a long process, whereby the renowned Orthodox philosopher and theologian embraced the ways of thinking of a thirteenth-century German mendicant and mystic. While refusing to simplify Eckhart's theology to a system or single motif, Lossky explores in detail the various ramifications of Eckhart's insistence on the ineffability of God. Is God to be regarded as 'being', or the 'One', or 'Intellect'? Does God's pure expression of each of these preclude the others? Framed by six key statements about God's essence, Lossky lays out Eckhart's approach to this dilemma. His understanding of the problem, guided by careful engagement with a multitude of sources, is exhaustive. Scholars will welcome this eagerly-anticipated translation.

Often described as an art of abstraction and subjective introspection, experimental film is also invested in exploring daily objects and materials and in channeling, in the process, a peculiar perception of the modern everyday that this book calls queer materiality. Queer materiality designates the queer latency of modern material culture, which often inspired queer artists and filmmakers to envision wayward bodies and behaviors, and refers to the way in which sexual and social dissidence was embedded in the objects, technologies, substances, and spaces that make up the hardware of experience. This book studies a rich archive of queer material engagements in work by well-known filmmakers such as Andy Warhol, Barbara Hammer, Carolee Schneemann, and Jack Smith as well as under-recognized figures such as Tom Chomont, Jim Hubbard, Ashley Hans Scheirl, and Teo Hern嫕dez. Combining history, formal analysis, and theoretical reflection, author Juan A. Su嫫ez shows how plastics, glitter, mechanic

Unsurprisingly, people are consumed with interest in people - themselves, other people, how we interact as individuals in close relationships or as members of groups, and how groups interact with other groups. Attraction, love, language, communication, influence, persuasion, leadership, conformity, self and identity, culture, aggression, prejudice, and discrimination are all part of the human condition and of our everyday lives. It is therefore not unexpected that people might be preoccupied to understand the psychology underlying these phenomena, and this is precisely what social psychology offers - more than a century of systematic scientific research on, and associated theorizing of, the breadth and diversity of social behavior. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Social Psychology synthesizes what we know about human social behavior and explores avenues for future research. Across 79 scholarly and exhaustively referenced chapters, all written in an accessible style, nearly every topic that

A sweeping look at the career of a truly singular Hollywood star In the oceans of ink devoted to the monumental movie star/businesswoman/political activist Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (1932-2011), her beauty and not-so-private life frequently overshadowed her movies. While she knew how to generate publicity like no other, her personal life is set aside in this volume in favor of her professional oeuvre and unique screen dynamism. In On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide, her marriages, illnesses, media firestorms, perfume empire, violet eyes, and AIDS advocacy take a back seat to Elizabeth Taylor, the actress. Taylor's big screen credits span over fifty years, from her pre-adolescent debut in There's One Born Every Minute (1942) to her cameo in The Flintstones (1994). She worked steadily in everything from the biggest production in film history (Cleopatra in 1963) to a humble daytime TV soap opera (General Hospital in 1981). Each of her sixty-seven film appearances is recapped here w

2021年4月30日出版的英國《經濟學人》期刊（The Economist）以聳動標題：〈臺灣是世界上最危險的地方〉（The most dangerous place on Earth）作為封面，意味著當前的臺海情勢暗潮洶湧。然而，1949年至1950年中華民國政府剛退到臺灣，百廢待舉、內外交困，而中共正積極準備攻臺時，完全孤立的臺灣情勢才是真正危險。 ＊從軍事外交來看1949年政府遷臺後的危機與轉機 ＊深入探討大陳江浙反共救國軍與一江山戰役 1949年底政府從四川遷臺，在1950年前半，南澳島、東山島、海南島失守，嵊泗列島、舟山群島自動撤退，廣東海面萬山群島戰役開打。相對於平靜多年的現在，當時在韓戰爆發之前，美國、蘇聯、中共三方的政策演化與彼此互動關係，都讓中華民國政府能否守住臺灣，劃了一個大大的問號。 韓戰爆發以後，軍事與外交局勢轉變，國軍在沿海島嶼不但固守，也有數次突擊行動，踏出反攻大陸的第一步。 從1949年後半的大遷徙，到1955年《中美共同防禦條約》生效，短短五、六年的關鍵年代中，中華民國政府能夠在臺灣、澎湖、金門、馬祖站穩，並且奠定了後來發展的基礎，不論從海峽兩岸或是國際情勢的發展來看，軍事和外交的因素都扮演了最重要的角色。 回顧1950年代前期的世局，是美國和蘇聯所分別領導的民主和共產國家間的冷戰和熱戰交互進行的時代，也 是兩岸不斷兵戎相見的時代。其中對中華民國生存發展影響最大的，首推中共的作為和美國的對華政策。中共毛澤東政權在那關鍵年代，對內推動無產階級專政的仇恨統治，使得許多對它有期待的人民失望、甚至轉而反對，而它在國外向蘇聯史達林政府亦步亦趨地學習、徹底進行對蘇聯「一邊倒」的政策，則冷卻了美國與之建立關係的期望。 美國原來在中國內戰中已經決定袖手，有人甚至準備接受中共占領臺灣，卻因為中共與蘇聯結盟，正式對史達林臣服，讓蘇聯勢力直入東亞和南海，因此考慮改變對臺灣的政策；接著韓戰的突然發生，顯示共產集團勢力不斷對外擴展，於是決定介入臺海。史達林、金日成和毛澤東的決策和美國的因應，反而形成了中華民國在臺灣復興的契機。 韓戰中止之後，中共立即增兵沿海，企圖攻略浙東沿海島嶼，作為再進犯金門以及臺灣的第一步，與國軍不斷進行海空交戰。最後在1955年1月，共軍以最先進的裝備、十餘倍的三軍兵力、壓倒式的絕對優勢，攻下了浙江外海大陳列

From acclaimed fantasy author Mindee Arnett comes an epic, adventurous story of a young mercenary magic-user trying to escape the oppressive island of Riven--and a young noblewoman trying to change it forever.Mars Darksvane wants out. Out from under the thumb of Una, the crime boss who pulled him off the streets as a child and trained him as an assassin; out from the island country of Riven, where magic, in the form of a dangerous material called Ice, allows the rich to live in luxury and keeps the poor in thrall.Mars is a secret adept--a person born with the ability to channel the magic that flows beneath Riven--and while his power gives him abilities useful to an assassin, it also makes him a target. And when his last mission ends in tragedy, Mars finally decides it's time to escape to the mainland. No magic, no history, a new life on his own.But Una has other ideas. If Mars wants his freedom, he's going to have to perform a final job: protecting Fura Torvald--the heiress of the rich
