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 (www.cambridge.org/cummings)"
