The surrender of the German U-boat fleet at the end of World War II
was perhaps the principal event in the war's endgame which
signified to the British people that peace really had arrived. This
revised, updated and expanded new edition gives career details of
not only the 33 commanders who accompanied their boats to Loch
Eriboll but also of a further 23 previous commanders of those
U-boats, including four who might be considered 'Aces' because of
the damage they inflicted, sinking and disabling Allied shipping.
The book also features an analysis of the Allied naval operation
under which the surrendering U-boats were assembled in Scotland and
Northern Ireland; asks who first contacted those U-boats after the
capitulation - armed British trawlers, frigates of the Allied
navies or aircraft of the Royal Air Force; and discloses how
U-boats spared destruction were distributed to the navies of the
USA, France, USSR and the Royal Navy. Also revealed are more
unpublished recollections of British and German naval personnel
present at the Loch Eriboll surrenders and how 116 surviving
U-boats came to be sunk in the waters of the Western Approaches in
the winter of 1945/46.The Grey Wolves of Eriboll includes a wealth
of historical insights including the German Surrender Document;
detailed descriptions of the construction, service careers and
circumstances of each surrendered U-boat; details of the frigates
that supervised the surrenders, contemporary newspaper reports and
descriptions of the naval Operations Pledge, Commonwealth, Cabal,
Thankful and Deadlight, each of which involved Eriboll U-boats. The
mysteries surrounding Hitler's yacht and the alleged 'Norwegian
Royal Yacht' (which did not exist at the time) are also explored.
The pivotal role played by Loch Eriboll in ending the U-boat menace
is little-known and lesser celebrated - this book rights that
wrong.

This ambitious book considers social scientific topics such as
identity, community, sexual difference, self, and ecology from a
microbial perspective. Harnessing research and evidence from earth
systems science and microbiology, and particularly focusing on
symbiosis and symbiogenesis, the book argues for the development of
a microontology of life.
In "Sex, Gender and Science," Myra Hird outlines the social study
of science and nature, specifically in relation to sex, sex
differences, and sexuality. She examines how Western understandings
of sex are based less upon understanding material sex differences
than on a discourse that emphasizes sex dichotomy over sex
diversity and argues for a feminist engagement with scientific
debate that embraces the diversity and complexity of nature.
