Linguistics and Oral History - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Linguistics and Oral History - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This edited volume brings together linguistic and oral history practitioners to explore the synergies between both disciplines. Contributors from Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, the UK, and the United States each take a different perspective on the relationship between oral history and language. Though linguists have been using oral history texts for some time and oral historians have a long tradition of describing language, there has hitherto been an absence of a single volume that brings together practitioners from both fields to explore the intersection between both areas. This book is comprised of contributions from linguists (corpus linguists, sociolinguists, dialectologists and second language acquisition experts) to present how they investigate oral history texts from a linguistic perspective as well as contributions from oral history practitioners who tend to focus on language-related aspects of their subject. In presenting perspectives from both disciplines, this book implicitly exposes the reader to synergies that exist between oral history and linguistics including methodological parallels in constructing and analysing written transcriptions of spoken events, analytical approaches to determining salient themes and linguistic items, relevant theoretical perspectives that frame discourse practices in oral histories and the practical considerations which researchers face when investigating large sets of spoken data. In essence, this book shows that oral historians and linguists are often doing the same things in different ways and makes the case for more collaboration between the disciplines to promote exchange of ideas, efficiency of practice and reciprocal development.

An Oral History of the Palestinian Nakba - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

An Oral History of the Palestinian Nakba - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In 2018, Palestinians mark the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, when over 750,000 people were uprooted and forced to flee their homes in the early days of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even today, the bitterness and trauma of the Nakba remains raw, and it has become the pivotal event both in the shaping of Palestinian identity and in galvanising the resistance to occupation.Unearthing an unparalleled body of rich oral testimony, An Oral History of the Palestinian Nakba tells the story of this epochal event through the voices of the Palestinians who lived it, uncovering remarkable new insights both into Palestinian experiences of the Nakba and into the wider dynamics of the ongoing conflict. Drawing together Palestinian accounts from 1948 with those of the present day, the book confronts the idea of the Nakba as an event consigned to the past, instead revealing it to be an ongoing process aimed at the erasure of Palestinian memory and history. In the process, each unique and wide-ranging contribution leads the way for new directions in Palestinian scholarship.

Becoming Pro-Palestinian - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book brings together testimonials from people of different nationalities and professions who are ''pro-Palestinian'', whether as scholars, film-makers, artists, musicians, activists, or NGO workers. Using what oral historians call the ‘focused life history’, renowned scholar, Rosemary Sayigh, invites her contributors to describe the experiences, events, motives and feelings that led them to support the Palestinian cause.The book is the first of its kind in Palestiniography and includes voices from countries across the world. A chapter is dedicated to each country and contributors are asked to reveal how they ‘discovered’ Palestine - given that Palestine is rarely mentioned in school textbooks or university courses - whether by travel, friendship, study, membership in a political party or book group. They are also asked to detail what specific forms their engagement has taken - ranging scholarly, creative, militant, or charitable - and what their hopes are for the international solidarity movement. Finally, each contributor reflects on if they feel a just and equitable solution can ever be achieved for Palestinians, and if they accept the label ‘pro-Palestinian’ or would rather define their relationship to the Palestinians in some other way.With testimonies from both high profile and grassroots activists, the book is a rich and personal selection that reflects the diversity, dynamism and global nature of the movement for Palestine.

B-52 Stratofortress Units 1955-73 - John Lake - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Designed to form the backbone of Strategic Air Command''s nuclear deterrent, the B-52 force was brought to higher states of readiness whenever crisis threatened the USA, most notably when Kennedy and Khruschev went eyeball-to-eyeball over Cuba. Soon afterwards, B-52s formed the backbone of the USAF''s bombing campaign in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. This book follows the story of the B-52 from its genesis to its first combat missions in June 1965 and through to the briefly sustained but bloodily fought Linebacker II offensive in late 1972. Even after the withdrawal of US forces in 1973, B-52s remained in-theatre, flying training missions mainly from Guam.

B-24 Liberator Units of the Eighth Air Force - Robert F Dorr - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-24 Liberator Units of the Eighth Air Force - Robert F Dorr - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Osprey''s examination of the B-24 Liberator Units'' participation in World War II (1939-1945). The B-24 Liberator was built in greater numbers than any other US warplane, yet its combat crews live, even today, in the shadow of the less plentiful, but better-known, B-17. Accounts of the ''Mighty Eighth'' in Europe, and indeed many of the books and films that emerged from the greatest air campaign in history, often overlook the B-24, even though it was in action for as long as the Flying Fortress, and participated in just as many perilous daylight bombing missions.

B for Baby - Carmel Winters - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B for Baby - Carmel Winters - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

''It was like we were two children - two innocent children just... playing'' Mrs C wants a baby not a Christmas tree. B wants a real hairdresser''s scissors and a wife. D wants a snow globe and ''a big head of dirty auld curls''. All of them want their own place in the world. And if they can''t find it, they''ll create one of their own. The play follows B and D in the care home where they are residents, and where Mrs C is a carer, on their special - ''very fecking special'' - journey towards happiness. B for Baby is a tender, sharp-witted new play set in a residential care home for people with severe learning disabilities. Treating this taboo subject with humanity and humour, the piece''s acuity and generously compassionate portraits result in a moving, if at times uncomfortable, drama. Poignantly exploring forbidden topics, B for Baby invites the reader or audience to rediscover the power and joy of make-believe. The play was first presented by the Abbey Theatre on the Peacock Stage, September 2010.

B-24 Liberator Units of the CBI - Edward M. Young - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-24 Liberator Units of the CBI - Edward M. Young - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Osprey''s study of the B-24 Liberator Units in the CBI Theatre of World War II (1939-1945). The B-24 Liberator was the mainstay of the US Army Air Force''s strategic bombing effort in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre from 1942 until the end of the war in 1945. With longer range and a greater load-carrying capacity than the B-17, the B-24 was well suited to the demands of the CBI. The CBI''s two air forces - the Tenth in India and the Fourteenth in China - each had one heavy bomb group equipped with Liberators. These two groups, the 7th and the 308th, carried the war to the Japanese across China and South East Asia, flying over some of the most difficult terrain in the world. The 308th had the added burden of having to carry its own fuel and bombs over the Himalayan ''Hump'' from India to China in support of its missions. Despite the hardships and extreme distances from sources of supply, both units compiled a notable record, each winning two Distinguished Unit Citations.

Cicero, Pro Cluentio: A Selection - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cicero, Pro Cluentio: A Selection - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero''s Pro Cluentio , sections 1–7 and 10–11, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of sections 27–32 and 35–37, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed poems to be read in English for A Level.In 66 BC, Aulus Cluentius Habitus was tried for the attempted murder of Statius Albius Oppianicus the Elder. The prosecutor was Sassia, Cluentius'' own mother. Marcus Tullius Cicero, the famous statesman, orator and lawyer, defended Cluentius in his Pro Cluentio, a persuasive oratorical tour de force. The selections in this edition prove that Cicero was not above using character assassinations in his speeches, first attacking Oppianicus the Elder, then Sassia in a vivid, melodramatic narrative which distracts and diverts the jury from Cluentius'' alleged crimes.Resources are available on the Companion Website.

B-29 Superfortress vs Japanese Nightfighter - Mark Lardas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-29 Superfortress vs Japanese Nightfighter - Mark Lardas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

An illustrated study of the clashes between B-29s conducting night raids on Japan and the Japanese nightfighters protecting the Home Islands from 1944–45. The USAAF’s B-29-led strategic bombing offensive against Japan succeeded when XX Bomber Command switched from high-level daytime precision bombing to low-level night time area bombing. The latter tactic required Superfortresses to attack their target individually, without a formation or escorting fighters for protection. Despite this, Japanese nightfighters proved unable to stop the B-29s. In this study, Mark Lardas examines the capabilities of the aircraft involved, and reveals the conditions under which both sides fought. He evaluates the cutting-edge technology of both sides and how it affected the outcome of the battle. Maps, tactical diagrams, photographs and specially commissioned artwork bring the action to life as the individual US bombers and Japanese nightfighters fight a classic military duel.

B-24 Liberator Units of the Fifteenth Air Force - Robert F. Dorr - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-24 Liberator Units of the Fifteenth Air Force - Robert F. Dorr - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The B-24 was heavily utilised in the North African and Mediterranean theatres by the USAAF''s Fifteenth Air Force, with operations over the Ploesti oilfields in Rumania being some of the most famous missions undertaken by the big American ''heavy'' in World War II (1939-1945). The stirling work of the Fifteenth Air Force is often overshadowed by the glamorous ''Mighty Eighth'', yet the men flying the B-24 fought ceaselessly right through to VE Day. This is the third of five titles planned to chart the operational history of the Consolidated heavy bomber, and is the first single volume to exclusively cover the Fifteenth Air Force''s B-24 units.

B-52 Stratofortress vs SA-2 "Guideline" SAM - Peter E. Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Ever since its introduction in the late 1950s, the B-52 Stratofortress has been the United States’ primary heavy bomber and a powerful symbol of its immense military might. Its powerful electronic countermeasures equipment (ECM) was thought to make the B-52 immune to ground-to-air missile attack, but in Vietnam, and later conflicts such as Operation Desert Storm in 1991, it came up against the Soviet-designed SA-2 SAM which used heavy salvoes of missiles to bring down the bombers.The losses of several of its most feared, powerful and supposedly invincible bombers per night to a torrent of Soviet missiles during the closing stages of the Vietnam War was sobering to Americans, but the B-52s’ crushing attacks virtually eliminated North Vietnam’s defences and forced a peace settlement. This fascinating book analyses the roles of the SA-2 operators and the B-52 Electronic Warfare Officers (EWOs) using specially commissioned artwork as well as first-hand accounts, and traces the cat-and-mouse tactics that each side employed.

B-29 Superfortress vs Ki-44 "Tojo" - Donald Nijboer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

By the time the Americans began their aerial bombardment of Japan in 1944, both the JAAF and IJNAF were spent forces. What the Japanese did have though was the Ki-44 "Tojo". Armed with two 40 mm cannon, it was the most heavily armed and feared single-seat fighter to see action against the new American bomber, the B-29 Superfortress. For the bomber crews, they had what they believed was their ‘ace in hole’: a fully armed B-29 carried four remotely operated gun turrets and a tail gunner''s position, making it the world''s most advanced self-defending bomber.In every respect the Ki-44 pilots were fighting a desperate battle. Many who made their mark did so using suicidal ramming attacks or "taiatari". Illustrated with full colour artwork, this volume examines why the Ki-44 was unable to break up bomber formations conventionally during the Pacific War, and how its ramming tactics, while terrifying, graphically revealed Japan''s inability to stop the B-29.

B-2a Spirit Units in Combat - Thomas Withington - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-2a Spirit Units in Combat - Thomas Withington - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The B-2A ''Spirit'' was an aircraft conceived to fight the Cold War (1946-1991) but which has proved invaluable to both the ''New World Order'' and more recently the ''War on Terrorism''. The combination of low-observability, precision strike, range and payload flexibility has made the ''Spirit'' the weapon of choice when America hits its enemies at the start of a campaign. Spirits have fired the first shots of Operation ''Allied Force'' over Kosovo and Serbia, as well as operations ''Enduring Freedom'' (2001-present) and ''Iraqi Freedom'' (2003-present). Despite the tremendous cost of the aircraft – each unit is literally worth its weight in gold – the B-2 has had an impact on modern warfare which has vastly exceeded this small force of 21 bombers. Developed in utmost secrecy, the B-2''s gestation saw the use of new computer design and manufacturing techniques and ultra-modern synthetic materials making it the most revolutionary aircraft in terms of design and performance. This book examines these incredible aircraft.

B-36 ‘Peacemaker’ Units of the Cold War - Peter E. Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-36 ‘Peacemaker’ Units of the Cold War - Peter E. Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A fully illustrated study into the extraordinary Convair B-36 during the Cold War. Conceived during 1941 in case Germany occupied Britain, when US bombers would then have insufficient range to retaliate, the B-36 was to be primarily a "10,000-mile bomber" with heavy defensive armament, six engines, and a performance that would prevent interception by fighters. Although rapid developments in jet engine and high-speed airframe technology quickly made it obsolescent, the B-36 took part in many important nuclear test programs. The aircraft also provided the US nuclear deterrent until the faster B-52 became available in 1955. It was one of the first aircraft to use substantial amounts of magnesium in its structure, leading to the bomber''s "Magnesium Overcast" nickname. It earned many superlatives due to the size and complexity of its structure, which used 27 miles of wiring, had a wingspan longer than the Wright brothers'' first flight, equivalent engine power to 400 cars, the same internal capacity as three five-room houses and 27,000 gallons of internal fuel – enough to propel a car around the world 18 times. Much was made of the fact that the wing was deep enough to allow engineers to enter it and maintain the engines in flight. B-36s continued in the bomber and reconnaissance role until their retirement in February 1959 following 11 years in SAC. Convair employees were invited to suggest names for the giant aircraft, eliciting suggestions such as "King Kong Bomber", "Condor", "Texan", and "Unbelievable", but the most popular was "Peacemaker". Oddly, objections from religious groups deterred the USAF from ever adopting it officially.This fully illustrated volume includes first-hand accounts, original photographs, and up to 30 profile artworks depicting in detail the complexity of this superlative aircraft.

B-25 Mitchell vs Japanese Destroyer - Mark Lardas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-25 Mitchell vs Japanese Destroyer - Mark Lardas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Battle of the Bismarck Sea was one of the most decisive naval battles of World War II and this highly illustrated study details the three-day fight which shaped the outcome of the war. Throughout the first year of the war in the Pacific during World War II the USAAF was relatively ineffective against ships. Indeed, warships in particular proved to be too elusive for conventional medium-level bombing. High-level attacks wasted bombs, and torpedo attacks required extensive training. But as 1942 closed, the Fifth Air Force developed new weapons and new tactics that were not just effective, they were deadly. A maintenance officer assigned to a B-25 unit found a way to fill the bombardier''s position with four 0.50-cal machine guns and strap an additional four 0.50s to the sides of the bomber, firing forward. Additionally, skip-bombing was developed. This called for mast-top height approaches flying the length of the target ship. If the bombs missed the target, they exploded in the water close enough to crush the sides. The technique worked perfectly when paired with “strafe” B-25s.Over the first two months of 1943, squadrons perfected these tactics. Then, in early March, Japan tried to reinforce their garrison in Lae, New Guinea, with a 16-ship convoy – eight transports guarded by eight destroyers. The Fifth Air Force pounced on the convoy in the Bismarck Sea. By March 5 all eight transports and four destroyers had been sunk.This volume examines the mechanics of skip-bombing combined with a strafing B-25, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the combatants (B-25 versus destroyer), and revealing the results of the attacks and the reasons why these USAAF tactics were so successful.

Cicero, pro Caelio: A Selection - Georgina (independent Scholar Longley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cicero, pro Caelio: A Selection - Georgina (independent Scholar Longley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero''s pro Caelio, 51–58, 61–68, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of 33–50, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Pro Caelio is one of Cicero’s finest and funniest speeches. In 56 BC, he defended Marcus Caelius Rufus who was being prosecuted on charges of violence, including the attempted poisoning of Roman noblewoman Clodia with whom Caelius previously had an affair. Cicero’s primary tactic was to blacken the character and reliability of Clodia, whom he depicts as the woman scorned, prosecuting Caelius out of revenge. Drawing on characters well known from Roman comedy, Cicero casts Caelius as the decent young man victimized by the aggressive courtesan, thereby shaming Clodia and glossing over the more awkward charges levelled at his client.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://www.bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2024-2026

His son, Sextus Roscius the Younger, was charged the following year with parricide, a sacrilegious crime with a gruesome punishment. In Cicero’s first speech at a criminal trial, he shows how his client did not benefit from the death, uncovers corruption which implicates an individual at the highest level of politics, and argues that the courts are being abused to silence the victims. Pro Sex. Roscio Amerino is a speech not only defending a man’s life, but the very fabric of Roman justice.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2026-2028.

B-58 Hustler Units - Peter E. Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

B-58 Hustler Units - Peter E. Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

One of the most dramatic bombers of its day, the Convair B-58 came to epitomise the Cold War power of Strategic Air Command. Introduced only 12 years after the sound barrier was first broken, this iconic plane became the first large long-range supersonic bomber to take to the skies, a feat which had seemed far-fetched only a few years previously. Outstripping its contemporaries in terms of speed, and agile enough to escape most interceptors, the B-58 was a remarkable feat of engineering, setting 19 world speed records and collecting a host of trophies. The first operational bomber capable of Mach 2 at 63,000 feet, it was able to evade hostile fighters and represented a serious threat to targets across the Soviet Bloc. Supported by contemporary first-hand accounts, photography, and full-colour illustrations, this study explores the history of this ground-breaking aircraft from its conception to its little-known testing for use in the Vietnam War.
