Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, 1918, Vol. 9 The natives of the country gained a large part of their livelihood from the pursuit, and manifested much hardihood in the capture Of the different kinds Of whales. The chase was invested with much superstition, both by the Aleutians and the Eskimo. Certain cere monies were Observed, particular care being taken as to the weapons used, and much dependence was placed in charms and medicine. Among the Aleutians even human bodies were stolen and secreted to give the possessors good fortune in the hunt.3 The Kodiak whalers Qised a harpoon with a slate head which detached from the handle and remained in the wound, causing death, after which the: carcass was towed or drifted with the tide to the shore. The Eskimos used harpoons Of fine workmanship equipped with heads of ivory and slate; and floats were attached to impede the progress Of the animal. The taking Of a whale was an occasion Of great rejoicing among the native inhabitants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Getting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of international monetary thought from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century provides the most comprehensive survey of the literature on the theory of international finance yet produced. The author argues that progress in the field has not been linear and classifies the literature according to groupings of ideas and personalities rather than chronologically. After a brief survey of the Classical doctrines, she examines the developments of all the main schools through the Neoclassicals, the Keynesians, and the New Classicals.
