Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press, 1998, much more recent digital reprint, 272pp., . In the late 1930s, as Europe moved toward war, the peaceful kingdom of Norway found itself strategically vital to the interests of Germany, France, and Great Britain. Though Norway was strictly neutral, in April 1940 Britain and France mined Norwegian territorial waters to prevent supplies from reaching Germany. Immediately, the German Reich invaded the militarily weak Norway. Norway 1940 shows the country fighting valiantly, assisted by the Allies in a two-month campaign that has become a textbook example of confused aims and faulty coordination. François Kersaudy delved deeply into the archives of the nations involved to offer the most balanced account to date. He depicts the glaring political and military errors of the campaign and goes on to consider large questions about its conduct and consequences. - CONTENTS: Churchill's solitary crusade -- Hitler's "rashest undertaking" -- On the brink -- The longest day -- The awakening -- The fighting neutrals -- Confusion -- Storms at the Reich Chancellery -- The spectre of defeat -- Political backlash -- Checkmate.

paperback. Zustand: Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, cover price $15.00, fresh attractive copy, fine condition. MARTIGNETTI, C. ANTHONY. Lunatic heroes : memories, lies and reflections. Foreword by Amanda Palmer. Boston: 3 Swallys Press, 2012, stated First Edition, x, 203pp., . Dark, comic, raw, disturbing, and often redemptive, these fifteen tales will take you from the 1950s to the present, along with a repeating cast of heroes and lunatics. The characters span the breadth and the depths of human qualities and capacities. The same person, in one story, may materialize as a hero and a god, and in another, as a lunatic and a demon. While the author roughs up the people in his stories with the hand of terror, he simultaneously, views them with the eyes of love. Martignetti spares no one, and to his credit, particularly not himself. For one, who confesses so much fear, he is fearlessly self-revealing. After reading this memoir collection, you will come to know these characters, and the author, intimately. Not that you'd necessarily want to, it's just the way things will turn out. - CONTENTS: Force fed - Joe - Lunatic heroes - Swamp - Meat - Nonno - Bully - Harvard Square - Carnival - Slap - Prayers - President Kennedy's party - Fallen angel - The head (or I dismember mama) - Hate.

Edited and with an introduction by Sherry Turkle. Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 2008, 1st printing number line ending in 1, x, 208pp., . "For more than two decades, in such landmark studies as The Second Self and Life on the Screen, Sherry Turkle has challenged our collective imagination with her insights about how technology enters our private worlds. In The Inner History of Devices, she describes her process, an approach that reveals how what we make is woven into our ways of seeing ourselves. She brings together three traditions of listening--that of the memoirist, the clinician, and the ethnographer. Each informs the others to compose an inner history of devices. We read about objects ranging from cell phones and video poker to prosthetic eyes, from Web sites and television to dialysis machines., In an introductory essay, Turkle makes the case for an "intimate ethnography" that challenges conventional wisdom. One personal computer owner tells Turkle: "This computer means everything to me. It's where I put my hope." Turkle explains that she began that conversation thinking she would learn how people put computers to work. By its end, her question has changed: "What was there about personal computers that offered such deep connection? What did a computer have that offered hope?" The Inner History of Devices teaches us to listen for the answer., In the memoirs, ethnographies, and clinical cases collected in this volume, we read about an American student who comes to terms with her conflicting identities as she contemplates a cell phone she used in Japan ("Tokyo sat trapped inside it"); a troubled patient who uses email both to criticize her therapist and to be reassured by her; a compulsive gambler who does not want to win steadily at video poker because a pattern of losing and winning keeps her more connected to the body of the machine. In these writings, we hear untold stories. We learn that received wisdom never goes far enough." - CONTENTS: The prosthetic eye / Alicia Kestrell Verlager -- Cell phones / E.
