This volume investigates the role and impact of social media in the
2016 U.S. election, focusing specifically on the presidential
nominating contest. Through case studies, survey research and
content analysis, the researchers employ both human and machine
coding to analyse social media text and video content. Together,
these illustrate the wide variety of methodological approaches and
statistical techniques that can be used to probe the rich, vast
stores of social media data now available. Individual chapters
examine what different candidates posted about and which posts
generated more of a response. The analyses shed light on what
social media can reveal about campaign messaging strategies and
explore the linkages between social media content and their
audiences' perceptions, opinions and political participation. The
findings highlight similarities and differences among candidates
and consider how continuity and change are manifest in the 2016
election. Finally, taking a look forward, the contributors consider
the implications of their work for political marketing research and
practice. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Political Marketing.
This is a fascinating new account of how diplomacy and politics
gave way to military strategy and warfare in the Pacific.
Presenting previously unpublished photographs, interviews with
veterans, newly commissioned maps and new translations of Japanese
sources, this book freshly examines the key events in the fight for
the Pacific. Detailing the background to the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor it shows how the decision-makers in Washington,
following consultation with the leaders of Britain, Australia and
New Zealand, moved to stop Japan from its drive toward Australia by
initiating a counterthrust in the Solomon Islands. It also shows
how qualities and character of leadership are crucial to winning
wars, detailing how Admiral Ernest J. King managed to commit the
Marine Corps to ground action in the South Pacific six months
earlier than originally planned, by ignoring the Roosevelt's
commitment to defeat Germany prior to fighting Japan, and by
outmaneuvering Gen. Douglas MacArthur for leadership. It also
explains how Marines under Maj. Gen. A.A. Vandegrift, despite
inadequate logistical support, managed to prevail in the Americans'
first ground campaign of World War II, making Japan's ultimate
defeat inevitable. In addition to recounting these key events, it
traces how censorship and patriotism influenced the reporting of
the conflict in America, how Hollywood films further shaped public
opinion by portraying the significant events in particular ways,
and how certain crucial decisions such as the early bombing raid of
Tokyo, and giving Douglas MacArthur command of the war effort in
Australia, were "political" rather than "strategic," and were made
to foster morale rather than to gain any military advantage. This
book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of
Military History, and to all readers with a general interest in
World War II, particularly in the conflicts of the Pacific, Pearl
Harbor and Guadalcanal.

Political marketing coalesced as a subfield in the mid-1990s, and
in 2002 the Journal of Political Marketing began publication. This
anniversary collection reviews the existing theory, empirical
evidence and practice of political marketing and explores emerging
topics and lines of inquiry within the field. While political
candidates and their campaigns are a major focus, it also considers
the broader range of issue advocacy and lobbying. The selections
expand beyond the U.S. context to offer a much needed comparative
perspective. The volume includes material on the effects of new
media and technology, posing questions about their direction and
consequences for political actors and institutions, citizens and
governmental systems. Collectively, the chapters illustrate the
breadth and depth of a maturing field of inquiry, taking the reader
through a retrospective and prospective examination of the
intellectual grounding and scholarship that comprise political
marketing. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of Political Marketing.

The interaction between computers and mathematics is becoming more and more important at all levels as computers become more sophisticated. This book shows how simple programs can be used to do significant mathematics. The purpose of this book is to give those with some mathematical background a wealth of material with which to appreciate both the power of the microcomputer and its relevance to the study of mathematics. The authors cover topics such as number theory, approximate solutions, differential equations and iterative processes, with each chapter self contained. Many exercises and projects are included giving ready-made material for demonstrating mathematical ideas. Only fundamental knowledge of mathematics is assumed and programming is restricted to "basic BASIC" which will be understood by any microcomputer. The book may be used as a textbook for algorithmic mathematics at several levels, since all the topics covered appear in any undergraduate mathematics course.
Time Pieces is an exciting new series of repertoire which explores
the wealth of music written from the sixteenth century to the
present day. The pieces are presented chronologically within each
volume and all include the year in which they were written too so
you can map your journey through time. Time Pieces for Cello is a
three-volume anthology providing a graded selection of well-crafted
and idiomatic arrangements, as well as some original pieces, for
cello and piano. All of them have been carefully written to provide
practice of the keys, note ranges and fingering patterns
encountered in the early grades, and there are suggestions for
position work and varied bowing patterns. Each volume balances
well-known pieces with less familiar music, and the emphasis
throughout is on tuneful repertoire perfectly suited to the cello
with a simple supportive piano accompaniment. From Tallis to
Tchaikovsky and from Haydn to Britten, Time Pieces for Cello allows
the pupil to get a real feel for the different styles of music
through time and will prove an invaluable, varied source of further
study and recital repertoire.

This primary source reader in the popular DISCOVERING series
contains a six-part framework that guides you through the process
of historical inquiry and explanation. The text emphasizes
historical study as interpretation rather than memorization of
data. Each chapter is organized within the same pedagogical
framework: The Problem, Background, The Method, The Evidence,
Questions to Consider, and Epilogue.
