Submariners are a tight knit group of men bound together by training and experience, and with a language all their own. That language is perhaps a little vulgar, but never intentionally demeaning, and a little irreverent but still worldly. This work is an attempt to preserve and explain some of these curious guys who so proudly wear a shiny metal pin that looks like a strange pair of fish on their left breast. This process of accumulating this new language begins in Boot Camp, and is added to with every change of duty station the sailor undergoes. It is heard aboard the boats and, unknowingly, by family members who can't understand terms like head, deck, and overhead, and who think SOS is a distress signal.

Showdown in the Pacific War: Nimitz and Yamamoto This unique book combines a carefully researched history with an easy to read analysis of the war in a fictional meeting between staff officers close to Admirals Chester Nimitz and Isoroku Yamamoto. They trace the events leading to the Pacific War and the heroic struggles following the attack on Pearl Harbor to the eclipse of the Japanese war machine at Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, and beyond. Showdown reveals Yamamoto’s opposition to Japan’s waging a war it could not win along with his planning of her early successes and Admiral Nimitz’s patient and careful reversal of the Empire’s offensives. Showdown presents an even-handed view of the nations that waged combat in the early stages of history’s most famous naval war. “Ron Martell has given us a new and very interesting look at World War II in the Pacific. Instead of simply retelling history, he puts the reader in a fictitious yet plausible latter-day conference between two of the conflict’s high-ranking adversaries, key staff officers of the American and Japanese navies. . . . It’s a genuine page-turner for any fan of World War II history. ” Ronald Russell, author of No Right to Win: A Continuing Dialogue with Veterans of the Battle of Midway. “Showdown in the Pacific is a thoroughly enjoyable read. . . . If someone asks me for a single book to read on how the Pacific War started and then was fought for the first 18 months, I will heartily recommend this one.” Thom Walla, Editor and Host of The Battle of Midway RoundTable.

Irish Water was set up in 2013 to introduce the most ambitious water metering programme in the world. The plan was to get Irish people to finally pay to upgrade a nineteenth-century water system. The water metering programme began in August 2013 and was carried out at breakneck speed. However, it did not go to plan and the issue of water charges divided Ireland. There were nationwide demonstrations, and confrontations in housing estates involving water meter contractors, gardaí and water charge protesters. The programme ended in political disaster, with a humiliated government having to send out one million refunds. With access to unpublished documents, and interviews with the key personalities on both sides, In Deep Water provides a blow-by-blow account of how it all went wrong. The rows at cabinet. The warnings that went unheeded. The water women. The smartphone-wielding protesters. And the minister who threatened to reduce people’s water to a trickle. Compulsively readable and fast paced, In Deep Water gives an inside view of the controversy that divided Ireland.

Young Helen Kipling's testimony sent the serial rapist/murderer Animal Sadac to prison the previous year but his conviction is reversed, and as he is being returned for re-trial he escapes and comes to Helen's ranch home to kill her, his only surviving victim. Still struggling to recover from the deep emotional scars resulting from being so brutally molested, and the impact of being seen by men as damaged goods unfit for marriage, she has just undertaken what she hopes will be the final stage of her rehabilitative efforts on the Frio River. Attempts by male officers to arrest or kill Sadac fail, convincing Helen she will die unless she devises a plan of her own to stop her psychopathic stalker. She lures Sadac out of hiding, but when the trooper friends guarding her are shot, she knows that unless she can overcome paralyzing panic long enough to complete her plan, she will be molested again and murdered.

Synopsis: On April 20, 2010, the Macondo well blew out, costing the lives of 11 men, and beginning a catastrophe that sank the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and spilled over 4 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The spill disrupted an entire region's economy, damaged fisheries and critical habitats, and brought vividly to light the risks of deepwater drilling for oil and gas-the latest frontier in the national energy supply. Soon after, President Barack Obama appointed a seven-member Commission to investigate the disaster, analyze its causes and effects, and recommend the actions necessary to minimize such risks in the future. The Commission's report offers the American public and policymakers alike the fullest account available of what happened in the Gulf and why, and proposes actions-changes in company behavior, reform of government oversight, and investments in research and technology-required as industry moves forward to meet the nation's energy needs. Complementary reports, staff background papers, hearing records, and other materials produced by the Commission are available at www.oilspillcommission.gov.
