The Battle of the Atlantic and Signals Intelligence U–Boat Situations and Trends 1941–1945

The Battle of the Atlantic and Signals Intelligence U–Boat Situations and Trends 1941–1945

This book contains the U-boats situations and trends written by the staff of the Admiralty’s Operational Intelligence Centre during the Second World War. Based largely on communications intelligence the U-boat situations and trends were designed to inform a small number of senior officers and high officials of the latest events and developments in the Allied war against the U-boats. The Battle of the Atlantic and the war against the U-boats was the longest and the most complex naval battle in history. In this huge conflict which sprawled across the oceans of the world the U-boats sank 2 828 Allied merchant ships while the Allies destroyed more than 780 German U-boats. These documents relate on a weekly and in some cases a daily basis exactly what the Allies knew concerning the activities of the U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. | The Battle of the Atlantic and Signals Intelligence U–Boat Situations and Trends 1941–1945

The Infant Motor Profile

The Infant Motor Profile

The Infant Motor Profile is a practical manual on a new evidence-based method to assess infant motor behaviour. Not only looking at what milestones the infant has reached but also paying attention to the quality of motor behaviour – how the infant moves – this text provides professionals involved in the care of infants at risk of developmental disorders with information on five domains of motor behaviour: variation adaptability symmetry fluency and performance. Backed up by extensive up-to-date research it includes percentile curves so that professionals can easily interpret the infants’ scores. The profile created from the assessment informs about the infant’s current condition and their risk of developmental disorders as well as providing suggestions for early intervention tailored to the strengths and limitations of the infant. Used over time it can be an excellent instrument to monitor the infant’s developmental progress. Illustrated with numerous figures and accompanied by a website hosting over 100 video clips this text is an essential read for professionals in developmental paediatrics including paediatric physiotherapists occupational therapists developmental paediatricians neuropaediatricians and paediatric physiatrists.

The Last Year of President Kennedy and the Multiple Path Policy Toward Cuba

The Last Year of President Kennedy and the Multiple Path Policy Toward Cuba

This book presents new aspects of the U. S. multiple path policy toward Cuba that was designed and adopted after the Missile Crisis (October 1962) until the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22 1963 from a Cuban perspective. The policy was characterized by its contradictory profile since simultaneously as aggressions were directed at Cuba it also included the establishment of channels of communication with the Cuban government. The book also analyzes the Cuban–Soviet dispute during the same period. The Cuban experiences have still not been sufficiently discussed and the aspects offered will enrich the knowledge of the U. S. –Cuban relationship during the mentioned period. | The Last Year of President Kennedy and the Multiple Path Policy Toward Cuba

A Competitive Assessment Of The U.S. Civil Aircraft Industry

A Competitive Assessment Of The U.S. Civil Aircraft Industry

In 1985 the U. S. aerospace industry achieved a $13. 1 billion trade surplus and contributed $89. 2 billion in shipments to the U. S. economy. Without·aerospace the U. S. trade balance in high technology industries would-for the first time-have fallen into a deficit. Civil aircraft play a significant role in the U. S. aerospace industry and U. S. civil aircraft have dominated world markets (particularly the large transport segment) since the development of jet engine aircraft in the 1950s. This dominance has recently been challenged by the emergence of the European Airbus Industrie which has achieved a significant market position in wide-body aircraft and appears committed to the development of a diversified family of civil aircraft. Industry observers are also concerned about the possibility of Japan entering the large transport competition. In this assessment the U. S. Department of Commerce examines the prospects for continued international competitiveness of U. S. civil aircraft. The report identifies key factors that will determine the shape of future competition develops alternative scenarios for the future and presents-a framework within which developments can be monitored and measured. | A Competitive Assessment Of The U.

The Future of U.S. Empire in the Americas The Trump Administration and Beyond

The Future of U.S. Empire in the Americas The Trump Administration and Beyond

With the rise of President Trump many are coming to question where the United States (U. S. ) is headed and whether we might witness an imperial decline under Trump. Social scientists largely recognize the contemporary hegemonic position of the U. S. at the global level but questions persist concerning the future of the U. S. Empire. With the Trump Administration at the helm these questions are all the more salient. Drawing on the expertise of a panel of contributors and guided by Michael Mann’s model of power this book critically interrogates the future of U. S. global power and provides insights on what we might expect from the U. S. Empire under Trump. Recognizing that U. S. imperial power involves an array of sources of power (ideological economic military and political) the contributors analyze the Trump Administration’s approach towards nine countries in the Western Hemisphere and five sets of global policies including inter-American relations drugs trade the environment and immigration. Each case presents a historical look at the trajectory of relations as they have developed under Trump and what we might expect in the future from the administration. The Future of U. S. Empire in the Americas will be of great interest to students and scholars of U. S. foreign policy Foreign Policy Analysis political sociology and American politics. | The Future of U. S.
