Download or read book The Bluejacket s Manual written by Thomas J. Cutler and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the days of oars and coal-fired engines to the computerized era of the 21st century, The Bluejacket’s Manual has been an essential part of the American Sailor’s sea bag for over one hundred years, serving as an introduction to the Navy for new recruits and as a reference book for Sailors of all ranks. Written by a Sailor whose decades of naval service included sea duty in patrol craft, destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers as both an officer and a “white hat,” this newest edition has been overhauled to reflect the current state of the ever-evolving United States Navy and includes chapters on ships and aircraft, uniforms, weapons, damage control, communications, naval customs and ceremonies, security, leadership, pay and benefits, naval missions, military fundamentals, and seamanship. Since Lieutenant Ridley McLean wrote the first edition of this perennial classic, the Navy has grown from fledgling sea power to master of the world’s oceans, and both technology and American culture have changed in ways probably unimaginable in his day. Although The Bluejacket’s Manual has necessarily evolved (through more than twenty revisions) to reflect those changes, its original purpose has remained steadfastly on course. Like its predecessors, this new edition makes no attempt to be a comprehensive textbook on all things naval—to do so today would require a multivolume set that would defy practicality—but it continues to serve two very important purposes. First, it serves as a primer that introduces new recruits to their Navy and helps them make the transition from civilian to Sailor. Second, it serves as a handy reference that Sailors can rely on as a ready source of basic information as they continue their service, whether for only one “hitch” or for an entire career. To that end, this 25th edition has been reorganized to more efficiently reflect those dual purposes, with the first part of the book consisting of “Chapters” that provide introductions and basic explanations that Sailors new to the Navy will find most helpful, and the second part consisting of “Tabs” that deal with specifics—often mere tables—that seasoned Sailors will find useful for reference purposes. Also unique to this latest edition has been the creation of an accompanying website that will serve to keep the book current and provide valuable supplementary material. In total, this latest edition of a recognized Navy classic continues to serve today’s “Bluejackets” and “Old Salts” in the traditional manner while providing a fresh approach that will be welcomed by potential recruits, Navy buffs, and a growing number of Bluejacket Manual collectors.

Download or read book Notes for the Private Pilot written by Gihan Ganesh and published by Theory CoPilot. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to fly is an exciting adventure and challenge. Learning aviation theory is part of that. To help you on that journey we wanted to create the most modern, concise, and beautifully presented aviation theory guides out there. There are many aspects of aviation theory that are tested in the six subjects of the New Zealand PPL syllabus. Each subject and its component topics could be studied in exhaustive detail, much of which is excessive to the private pilot and detracts from the key points. We focussed this book on those key points and is presented in a question-and-answer conversational style that helps you understand and remember the information. This single book covers the entire CAA (NZ) syllabus for the private pilot. The book is divided into six parts, covering each subject. The book is fully indexed and contains over 200 figures.

During a training exercise, a B 2 bomber disappears. With no evidence of a crash, the U.S. Air Force acknowledges that one of its' most secret and high tech aircraft has been hijacked. Intelligence leads to what would seem to be a very unlikely suspect: Cuba. Could the tiny nation pull off a theft of this magnitude? And what might its' plans be for the highly sought after aircraft? Finding answers to these questions becomes the top secret mission for CIA agent Steve Wickham. Without those answers, only one solution will remain: invasion. And then World War III will certainly follow. Can Wickham find the bomber before the president is forced to invade? Or will the world as we know it ignite into a nuclear conflagration?

Download or read book Shooting Terror written by Meenakshi Bharat and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shooting Terror highlights the disturbing immediacy of acts of terror and how cinema responds to them. It follows the changing representations of terrorism in Hindi cinema by fielding in-depth textual analyses of films such as Roja, Maachis, Black Friday, Tere Bin Laden, Uri: The Surgical Strike, among others. It traces how terror and the terrorist have come to be viewed in the Indian cultural space and lays the grounds for a multivalent, perspectival reading of cinema and terrorism. Moving from the threat of terror condensed in the Mogambo-esque villain in Mr. India, to the showcasing of terror and the terrorist in their lived-in realities in Haider and Shahid, the book explores the fraught connections between terror and the themes of devastation and trauma; between terror and the urban cityscape. It also seeks to highlight the place of humour and satire in films on terrorism and the presence of the reactionary far right in these films. One of the first books to present a composite picture of terrorism in contemporary Hindi cinema, this volume will be of interest to researchers and academics of cultural studies, media and film studies, and the study of sociopsychological violence in media and culture.

Louise is persuaded to attend the groups meetings where, over several months, she is brainwashed with their warped ideals. Back at home, Louise appears to be the same woman as the person that left, but her heart and soul have been ripped out, replaced with hatred for the country that raised her. Fully recruited into the group, Louise is given her first task. She meets Adam, a Labour MP, and they fall in love. Adam is made minister, and a pregnant Louise is tasked with an attack on Adam’s department. She is then tasked with taking part in another atrocity, a much bigger one with a plan for maximum casualties. A visit to her close friend, Millie, changes everything. Millie had seen CCTV images and becomes suspicious. Responding to Millie’s suspicions, Louise finally realises that her actions were wrong and that Islam is a loving and caring religion.
