The Sirens of Wartime Radio and How the American Print Media
Presented Them: The Stories, the Intrigue, and the Evolving
Coverage of Their Legacies analyzes press coverage from the
American print media that helped construct popular images of Tokyo
Rose, Axis Sally, Seoul City Sue, and Hanoi Hannah. Coverage of
these "radio sirens" essentially constructed and defined these
women's legacies for an American audience. Scott A. Morton examines
newspaper and magazine coverage from the periods of each
broadcaster, and in doing so, analyzes four primary research
inquires. Morton discusses how American newspapers and magazines
portrayed each woman to American readers, how the American mass
media's portrayal of them evolved overtime from the mid-1940s
through the present, the ways in which the American mass media
responded to these five female propagandists-either directly or
indirectly-through print, radio, and visual media, and how the
legacy of each woman has been kept alive in popular culture in the
decades since their last broadcasts. Morton argues that for the
most part, coverage of the sirens was borne out of fascination and
aversion, fascination stemming from the novelty of women acting as
high-profile agents of enemy propaganda organizations and aversion
stemming from the potential power they had over U.S. servicemen and
the fact that they were viewed as traitors to the U.S. Scholars of
media studies, history, and international relations will find this
book particularly useful.
Andy Bester once considered himself to be a lucky man. That was
before he met Valoria Queeg and agreed to transport her home aboard
his small spaceliner, the Venture Star. It was before a sinister
colonel of an underground movement began stalking him at every
turn. It was before he was accused of attempting to start a war
between two adversarial worlds by destroying a politically
sensitive pet food convoy. It was before he learned that a
mysterious, ghostly debris field endangers not only the Earth but
also threatens to alter history forever. And to top it all off, an
ancient, bioluminescent seer from the opposite end of the universe
has just told Bester he's responsible for setting everything right.
It is enough to lead Bester to ask one important question: Has the
universe gone completely mad? In MadSpace, there is just one
constant in the universe: Things can only get worse.

This computational aerodynamics (CA) textbook is written at the
undergraduate level, based on years of teaching focused on
developing the engineering skills required to become an intelligent
user of aerodynamic codes, unlike most available books which focus
on learning how to write codes. This is done by taking advantage of
CA codes that are now freely available and doing projects to learn
the basic numerical and aerodynamic concepts require. The authors
believe that new and vibrant ways to interact with CA are important
in order to improve understanding of aerodynamics. This book
includes a number of unique features to make studying Computational
Aerodynamics more enjoyable. These include: The computer programs
used in the book's projects are all open source and accessible to
students and practicing engineers alike on the book web site,
www.cambridge.org/cummings CA Concept Boxes appear throughout the
book to make material more relevant and to provide interesting
asides from the material at hand Flow Visualization Boxes are used
throughout the book to give readers the opportunity to see fluid
dynamic flows first hand Profiles of both experienced and beginning
practitioners of CA are included throughout to give a more personal
dimension to the practice of numerical simulations of aerodynamics
Best Practices summaries are included at the end of most chapters
to provide real world guidelines for how CA is typically used The
website includes access to images, movies, programs, CA codes,
additional material, and links to a variety of resources vital to
the discussions contained within the book
