Churchill's Atlantic Convoys : Tenacity & Sacrifice
Within hours of the outbreak of the Second World War, Winston Churchill took up office as First Lord of the Admiralty.The same day the liner Athenia was torpedoed in the Atlantic in the first U-boat attack of the war.Churchill quickly recognised Britain's survival depended on countering the U-boat threat and the strategic importance of protecting Allied merchant shipping with measures such as the convoy system. As this superbly researched book reveals, the Nazi U-boat fleet was relatively small and unprepared for war in 1939.But by early 1941 its numbers and effectiveness had increasing to the point that Hitler was able to declare our warfare at sea is just beginning'.Prime Minister Churchill's response was to issue his famous Battle of the Atlantic' Directive. Churchill's Atlantic Convoys describes the political, strategic and tactical ebb and flow of events, particularly between 1942 and 1943.Thanks to increased numbers and scientific innovations the Allies slowly gained the upper hand despite a determined German fight back in late 1943 and early 1944.While the U-boat threat was never wholly defeated, the tenacity and sacrifices of the Allied naval forces won the day. Churchill later recognised the persistence of Germany's effort and the fortitude of the U-boat service.It would not be until 7 June 1945 that Churchill and President Truman felt able to assert the Allies have finished the job'.

Engraved on Our Nations : Indigenous Economic Tenacity
A testament to Indigenous resilienceDespite investments in nation building, self-autonomy, and cultural resurgence, Indigenous economic development has remained an underexplored and underestimated area of research.Engraved on Our Nations overturns the discouraging deficit perspective too common in policy and academia and amplifies the largely undocumented history of successful Indigenous economic activity in Canada. Following David Newhouse’s overview of Indigenous economic history, the authors of this collection illustrate how First Nation and Métis individuals and communities have met and overcome an array of challenges.Case studies focus on First Nations from Membertou (Nova Scotia) to Tahltan (British Columbia) and Indigenous-led enterprises like McDonald Brothers Electric (Inuvik Northwest Territories) and Neechi Commons (Winnipeg).Simultaneously celebrating Indigenous entrepreneurs and exploring concerns around sustainable development, the book also asks: can capitalism be Indigenized?In this first-of-its-kind collection, diverse voices offer experiences and analyses that present common threads to students seeking better answers for the future.Engraved on Our Nations shares stories not only of entrepreneurial excellence and persistence but of savvy leadership, innovation, and reciprocity, providing hope to Indigenous business leaders, youth, and elected officials working on the front lines to improve economic conditions and achieve “a good life” for their communities.

Contemporary Art Cinema Culture in China
How do contemporary Chinese audiences access art cinema?What are the alternative channels for the distribution and exhibition of art cinema in China?How is Chinese art cinema changing with the booming of internet media and commodity culture in the 21st century? To answer these questions, Xiang Fan explores the dynamic networks of art cinema in China in the 21st century, highlighting the cultural practices of intermediaries such as independent programmers, internet critics, and fan translators.Offering insights gleaned from original ethnographic research, Fan reveals how these intermediary practitioners think about cinema, negotiate judgement and appreciation, construct a discourse of value and taste, and most importantly, constitute a coordinated and interrelated network for the sharing of art cinema.She argues that although their motivation was derived from a cinephilia seeking to forge an alternative mode of distribution and reception, the ‘new’ cinema culture they have produced simultaneously negotiates a subtly complicit relationship with authoritative and market forces.In doing so, she offers an original interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary art cinema culture in Chinese society.

Tenacity in Children : Nurturing the Seven Instincts for Lifetime Success
Tenacity in Children examines how multiple generations of parents and caregivers raised children to become successful adults.Until relatively recent times in human history, there were no schools or organized institutions, nor were there parenting books.Rather, caregivers depended on the seven important instincts that evolved across tens of thousands of years in the human species.This volume highlights the ways in which these instincts are more important than ever in preparing children for tomorrow’s successes.Key areas of coverage include individual chapters devoted to examining each of the seven instincts – intuitive optimism, intrinsic motivation, compassionate empathy, simultaneous intelligence, genuine altruism, virtuous responsibility, and measured fairness – as well as practical strategies to guide children in acquiring and fine-tuning these essential human instincts. Tenacity in Children provides a solid foundation to prepare children for a resilient and happy future.It offers well-defined guideposts for adults committed to providing every child with the opportunity to access, strengthen, and employ these instincts as they negotiate childhood and passage into adult life.This book also serves as a rich resource for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in mental health and public health disciplines as well as many interrelated fields as we all strive to promote the well-being of children. The collaboration of these two esteemed psychologists has been impacting on our field for decades.This new book continues that tradition. – Richard D. Lavoie, M.A., M.Ed.

Dragon's Jaw : An Epic Story of Courage and Tenacity in Vietnam
Every war has its "bridge"--Old North Bridge at Concord, Burnside's Bridge at Antietam, the railway bridge over Burma's River Kwai, the bridge over Germany's Rhine River at Remagen, and the bridges over Korea's Toko Ri.In Vietnam it was the bridge at Thanh Hoa, called Dragon's Jaw. For many years hundreds of young US airmen flew sortie after sortie against North Vietnam's formidable and strategically important bridge, dodging a heavy concentration of anti-aircraft fire, surface-to-air missiles and enemy fighters.Many American airmen were shot down, killed, or captured and taken to the infamous POW prisons in Hanoi.But after each air attack, when the smoke cleared and the debris settled, the bridge stubbornly remained standing.For the North Vietnamese it became a symbol of their invincibility; for US war planners an obsession; for US airmen a testament to American mettle and valor. Using after-action reports, official records, and interviews with surviving pilots, as well as previously untapped Vietnamese sources, Dragon's Jaw chronicles American efforts to destroy the bridge, strike by bloody strike, putting readers into the cockpits, under fire.The story of the Dragon's Jaw is a story rich in bravery, audacity, sometimes luck and sometimes tragedy.The "bridge" story of Vietnam is an epic tale of war against a determined foe.

In your opinion, which topics in history, art, and culture still need more or even the most research?
In my opinion, there are several topics in history, art, and culture that still need more research. One such topic is the history and contributions of marginalized groups, such as women, people of color, and indigenous communities. Their stories and experiences have often been overlooked or marginalized in traditional historical narratives, and there is a need for more research to uncover and amplify their voices. Additionally, the impact of colonialism and imperialism on art and culture around the world is another area that requires further exploration. Understanding how these forces have shaped and influenced artistic and cultural expressions in different regions is crucial for a more comprehensive understanding of global history and heritage. Furthermore, the intersection of technology and art, as well as the evolution of digital and virtual art forms, is a relatively new area that could benefit from more research. As technology continues to advance, it is important to study how it is shaping artistic practices and cultural expressions in the contemporary world.
