Submarine Aircraft Carriers
GTIN: 9780811777292
Two innovations in weaponry appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century and revolutionized warfare, turning it into a multidimensional contest: the modern diesel-powered submarine and the fixed-wing aircraft. Both saw extensive use during World War I, and the nations of the world soon developed mobile launching pads for planes during and after the war, first using surface ships and then submarines. The submarine aircraft carrier was born. Virtually nothing has been written about these weapons-until now, in this detailed narrative by one of the world's leading naval experts. Submarine aircraft carriers were pursued by all of the world's major naval powers: the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and the Soviet Union. Germany led the way, and while its efforts did not put vessels into battle during World War I, rumors of such a submarine caused widespread panic in New York City in 1918. Despite concentrated efforts during the 1920s and 1930s, only Japan and France had seagoing submarine aircraft carriers when World War II erupted. France's single such vessel disappeared at sea in 1942, but Japan built forty-seven, including three of its massive I-400 class, the largest submarines of World War II. Japanese submarine aircraft carriers launched the only aerial bombing of the contiguous United States, when a sub-based plane dropped bombs over Oregon. The three I-400s figured prominently in Japan's never-realized plans to attack the Panama Canal, New York City, and Washington, DC, as well as in Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night, Japan's last-ditch plan to spread bubonic plague and other pathogens to the coastal cities of California.After World War II, both the United States and the Soviet Union pursued further development of submarine aircraft carriers as part of their nuclear strike capabilities-including some fanciful ideas for truly gigantic submarines launching bomber aircraft-but the advent of guided cruise missiles quickly ended interest in these vessels.In this comprehensive and readable history, Jacob Gunnarson and Norman Polmar draws on more than sixty years of researching and writing about the world's naval vessels to uncover the development of submarine aircraft carriers. Their story reveals much about twentieth-century naval strategy, tactics, and technology.

Tallinna müntmeister Paul Gulden
GTIN: 9789916635117 Raamatud
Ajalooallikad ei armasta vaadata maailma lihtsa inimese silmadega, ütleb selle raamatu autor, Eesti tuntuim numismaatik Ivar Leimus. Nii on jäänud 16. sajandi kroonikutel märkamata ka selline pealtnäha tavaline kodanik nagu Tallinna müntmeister Paul Gulden, kelle elu oli aga vaat et põnevamgi kui mõnel kuningal või väejuhil. Ühendades aastakümnetega kogutud teadmised ajaloolasena ning kujutlusvõime kirjanikuna, toob Leimus lugejani Paul Guldeni seiklusrikka eluloo, mis on nauditav nii ilukirjanduse kui ka kesk- ja varauuasaja eluolu tutvustava ajalooraamatuna. Lugu saadavad Katariin Mudisti illustratsioonid ning fotod ajaloolistest paikadest ja esemetest. Ivar Leimus (snd 1953) on raha- ja majandusajaloo uurimisega tegelenud alates 1970. aastatest ning kujunenud üheks Baltimaade juhtivaks münditeaduse asjatundjaks. Äripäevalt on varem ilmunud Ivar Leimuse, Mauri Kiudsoo ja Gunnar Haljaku Eesti mündiajalugu käsitlev "Sestertsist sendini" (2018). <br><br> Autorid: Ivar Leimus <br>

Toad: A Novel
GTIN: 9781250872296 Raamatud
A previously unpublished novel of the reflections of a deeply scarred and reclusive woman, from the cult icon Katherine Dunn, the author of Geek Love.Sally Gunnar has withdrawn from the world. She spends her days alone at home, reading drugstore mysteries, polishing the doorknobs, waxing the floors. Her only companions are a vase of goldfish, a garden toad, and the door-to-door salesman who sells her cleaning supplies once a month. She broods over her deepest regrets: her blighted romances with self-important men, her lifelong struggle to feel at home in her own body, and her wayward early twenties, when she was a fish out of water among a group of eccentric, privileged young people at a liberal arts college. There was Sam, an unabashed collector of other people’s stories; Carlotta, a troubled free spirit; and Rennel, a self-obsessed philosophy student. Self-deprecating and sardonic, Sally recounts their misadventures, up to the tragedy that tore them apart.Colorful, crass, and profound, Toad is Katherine Dunn’s ode to her time as a student at Reed College in the late 1960s. It is filled with the same mordant observations about the darkest aspects of human nature that made Geek Love a cult classic and Dunn a misfit hero. Daring and bizarre, Toad demonstrates her genius for black humor and her ecstatic celebration of the grotesque. Fifty-some years after it was written, Toad is a timely story about the ravages of womanhood and a powerful addition to the canon of feminist fiction. <br><br> Autorid: Katherine Dunn <br>

Toida oma tervist
GTIN: 9789916680308 Raamatud
Haiguste ennetamine ja tervise taastamine õige toiduvaliku ja loodusraviga.Selleks et olla õnnelik ja terve, peab inimene õigesti mõtlema, õigesti hingama, õigesti toituma ja küllaldaselt liikuma, on öelnud Gunnar Aarma. Seda, et tervis sõltub meie oma valikutest, kinnitavad ka tüviraku-uuringud ja epigeneetika. Aastakümneid ilma teinud geneetiline determinism vajub järjest sügavamale ajaloo unustusehõlma. Samas on ravimikeskne meditsiin külvanud paljudesse usu, et terviseprobleeme on võimalik seljatada ka elustiilis muudatusi tegemata. Sul on palavik " võta palavikualandajat, kolesterool on kõrge " haara kolesterooliravim, kannatad kõrvetiste ja refluksi käes " viska põske maohappe pärssija ... ja elu on jälle ilus! On tõsi, et toit on vaid osa ÕNNE ja TERVISE grandioossest puslest, samas on see aga üks kiiremaid ja kergemini kontrollitavaid võimalusi põhjaliku restardi tegemiseks kehas. Kui võrdleme haigust sõjaga, on immuunsüsteem meie armee, toit aga relvad ja laskemoon. Vangistatud armee, roostes relvade ja olematu laskemoonaga on sõda pea võimatu võita ... Tervel on tuhat unistust, haigel ainult üks, ütleb rahvatarkus. Haiguse lävel seistes on lihtsam tagasi pöörduda, kui hiljem konarlikku rada pidi, tõvest laastatuna valguse poole rühkida. Usalda oma keha ja austa tema sõnumeid! Toida oma tervist! Toidu ravivõime ning energeetilise tähtsuse teadvustamiseni jõudis raamatu autor Liis Orav läbi isikliku valusa kogemuse. Ta usub, et loodusliku toidu, informeeritud valikute, hea energia ning positiivse suhtumisega on võimalik mägesid liigutada. Liis Orav on lõpetanud Annely Sootsi Tervisekooli ning täiendanud end kodu- ja välismaal loodusravi, nutrigenoomika ja biomeditsiini vallas. <br><br> Autorid: Liis Orav <br>

Ülekoormusvigastused muusikutel: vältimine. Ravi. Harjutused
GTIN: 9789916734285 Raamatud
Muusiku keha on tema peamine instrument, mis peab töötama professionaalselt. Nagu iga muusikainstrumendiga, peab muusik ka oma keha õigesti töötamist harjutama " igapäevaselt oma tugi-liikumisaparaati treenima. Raamat annab üksikasjaliku ülevaate tugiaparaadi ülekoormusvigastustest muusikutel ning jagab juhiseid, kuidas tehniliselt õigesti musitseerida, et ei tekiks sundasendist põhjustatud vaevusi. "Ülekoormusvigastused muusikutel" ulatab abikäe pianistidele, orkestrantidele pillide kaupa (viiul, vioola, harf, t"ello, kontrabass, puhk- ja löökpillid), kitarri- ja akordionimängijatele ning organistidele. Soovitusi leiavad ka lauljad ja dirigendid. Samuti on see tarvilik lugemisvara muusikaõpetajatele ja pillimängu õppivate laste vanematele. Raamatu autor dr Gunnar Männik (PhD) töötab spordiarstina ja on spetsialiseerunud tugi-liikumisaparaadi mittekirurgilisele ravile. Lisaks meditsiinile on ta aastaid õppinud muusikat, mistõttu tunneb hästi muusikute tugiaparaadi probleeme ja eripärasid. Raamat toetub nii autori enda arstipraksise kogemustele paljude muusikutest patsientide ravimisel kui ka rohketele viimastel aastatel ilmunud teadusartiklitele. Muusikat tehes unustavad interpreedid sageli, kui oluline on nende keha. On ju inimese keha " käed, jalad, hääl " just see, mis annab impulsi heli tekkeks. Me peame kandma hoolt mitte ainult oma hinge, vaid ka oma keha eest. Nii saame paremini teenida muusikat ja jagada inimestele armastust läbi helide. Kõikidel muusikutel on omad sundasendid, mis pikema aja jooksul võivad hakata valu tegema. Gunnar Männiku raamat on vajalik ja ainulaadne õpik, kuidas kõige paremini kanda hoolt oma keha tervise eest. Siin on peatükid erinevate pillide mängijatele ja spetsiaalsed harjutused, mida me kõik peaksime iga päev tegema. See raamat võiks olla kohustuslik kirjandus kõikidele muusikutele.

Ülekoormusvigastused. Vältimine, ravi, harjutused
GTIN: 9789916694978 Raamatud
Inimene on loodud liikuma kõikides eluetappides alates sünnist kuni surmani. See toimub tänu tugiliikumisaparaadile, kus keskne roll on lülisambal. Viimane on otseselt seotud erinevate ülekoormusvigastustega, mis hakkavad tekkima juba lapseeas ja mis väljendub tihti valuna selja- ja kaelapiirkonnas, aga ka teistes kehaosades, eelkõige õlgades, tuharate ümbruses, jalgades ja kätes. Sageli on põhjuseks puudulik ja ühekülgne kehaline areng lapseeas, ebatasakaal skeletilihaste vahel, liiga suur kehaline koormus, monotoonsed liigutused, pikaajalised sundasendid jne. Raamatus kirjeldatakse mitmesuguseid seljaprobleeme, sagedasemaid ülekoormusvigastusi ning nende ärahoidmist ja ravi lastel, noorukitel ja vanematel inimestel tavaelus, tippspordis, tervisespordis, aga ka balletitantsijatel ja muusikutel. Siit leiavad praktilist nõu kõik need, kes tahavad liikumisteraapia abiga olla terved ja tarvitada vähem ravimeid kogu elukaare jooksul. Raamat on mõeldud tegev- ja harrastussportlastele, kehalise kasvatuse õpetajatele, treeneritele, kiropraktikutele, füsioterapeutidele, massööridele, muusikutele, lastevanematele, näitlejatele, (balleti)tantsijatele ja arstidele (eelkõige pere-, töötervishoiu-, taastus- ja spordiarstidele). Samuti on kasulik seda raamatut lugeda sundasendis töötavatel inimestel, nagu hambaarstid, kirurgid, kontoritöötajad, autojuhid jt. Doktor Gunnar Männik on spordiarstina tuntud nii sportlaste kui ka muusikute hulgas. Ta on pühendunud ülekoormusvigastuste ennetamisele ja ravile ning viimasel ajal tegelenud süvitsi lülisambast tingitud kaebuste raviga. On tõsine heameel, et ta jagab oma kogemusi raamatus, mis sobib lugemiseks igale aktiivseid eluviise harrastavale inimesele. " Dr MADIS RAHU ortopeed, Ph.D. See ülevaatlik raamat põhilistest tugiaparaadi ülekoormusvigastustest on hea populaarteaduslik materjal tavalugejale, kes treenib aktiivselt ning on kogenud koormusest põhjustatud tugiaparaadi kaebusi. Eraldi tähelepanu on pööratud pillimängust tulenevatele tugiaparaadi probleemidele. Pole unustatud ka eakaid. Esiletoomist väärivad nõuanded, soovitused ning ennast abistavad harjutused ülekoormusvigastustega toimetulekuks. " KIRSTI PEDAK, füsioterapeut <br><br> Autorid: Gunnar Männik <br>

We Experienced Christ: Spiritual Encounters with Jesus Christ: Reports from the Religious-Social Institute, Stockholm
GTIN: 9781906999865 Raamatud
'And at this moment a peculiar, inconceivable, but wonderful thing happened. Suddenly - I assure you, completely unexpected and unwished for - I felt precisely that Someone stood beside me, Someone who radiated comfort and strength. And I heard, but without sound...as clearly and distinctly as if someone had literally spoken to me: "Do not despair, you are not alone, I am alive."'Curious as to what they might discover, two theologians advertised in a national Swedish newspaper for people to write in with their personal experiences of meeting Christ spiritually. They received more than one hundred rich and varied responses, even from some people who described themselves as non-religious. The reports described extraordinary, surprising and usually unrequested experiences. Most of the correspondents had not previously spoken of what had happened to them, often out of fear for what others might think.These precious and valuable experiences are gathered together here and complemented with wise and insightful commentary by the authors, Professor Berndt Gustafsson and Dr Gunnar Hillerdal, both serious academics. The accounts they present form an extraordinary testimony, which will be of interest to any open-minded person seeking truth and meaning in life.'It is about a number of individuals, independent of each other and not influenced by anyone or anything, who have appeared as spontaneous witnesses. One cannot bypass such a thing, regardless of any explanations and intellectual judgements. It is simply about facts.' - Professor Boris Tullander, Ph.D., from the Foreword <br><br> Autorid: Gunnar Hillerdal, Berndt Gustafsson <br>
