Byrnes, the atomic bomb, and the Pacific War -- The Potsdam Conference, the Trinity test, and 'atomic diplomacy' -- Hiroshima, the Japanese, and the Soviets -- The Japanese surrender -- Necessary, but was It right? -- Byrnes, the Soviets, and the American atomic monopoly -- The atomic bomb and the origins of the Cold War.This book explores the American use of atomic bombs and the role these weapons played in the defeat of the Japanese Empire in World War II. It focuses on President Harry S. Truman's decision-making regarding this most controversial of all his decisions. The book relies on notable archival research and the best and most recent scholarship on the subject to fashion an incisive overview that is fair and forceful in its judgments. This study addresses a subject that has been much debated among historians and it confronts head-on the highly disputed claim that the Truman administration practised 'atomic diplomacy'. The book goes beyond its central historical analysis to ask whether it was morally right for the United States to use these terrible weapons against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It also provides a balanced evaluation of the relationship between atomic weapons and the origins of the Cold War.Cambridge essential histories.Atomic bombHistoryAtomic bombMoral and ethical aspectsHiroshima-shi (Japan)HistoryBombardment, 1945Moral and ethical aspectsNagasaki-shi (Japan)HistoryBombardment, 1945Moral and ethical aspectsUnited StatesMilitary policyDecision makingAtomic bombHistory.Atomic bombMoral and ethical aspects.940.54/2521954HIS036060bisacshMiscamble Wilson D.1954-1493019UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910790072703321The most controversial decision3715827UNINA05642nam 22007815 450 991037004660332120220520103643.03-030-28105-110.1007/978-3-030-28105-2(CKB)5280000000190172(MiAaPQ)EBC5995819(DE-He213)978-3-030-28105-2(PPN)257584064(EXLCZ)99528000000019017220191210d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Palgrave Handbook of Romani Language and Linguistics /edited by Yaron Matras, Anton Tenser1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (599 pages)3-030-28104-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter 1: Introduction (Yaron Matras and Anton Tenser) -- Chapter 2: The Historical Origins of Romani (Michael Beníšek) -- Chapter 3: Historical Sources on the Romani Language (Ignasi-Xavier Adiego) -- Chapter 4: Romani Lexicon (Andrea Scala) -- Chapter 5: Romani Phonology (Márton András Baló) -- Chapter 6: Romani Morphology (Viktor Elšík) -- Chapter 7: Romani Syntactic Typology (Evangelia Adamou and Yaron Matras) -- Chapter 8: The Impact of Turkish on Romani (Victor A.

Documentation and research on the language draws on a tradition of more than two centuries, yet it remains relatively unknown and often engulfed by myths. In recent decades there has been an upsurge of interest in the language including language maintenance and educational projects, the creation of digital resources, language policy initiatives, and a flourishing community of online users of the language. This Handbook presents state of the art research on Romani language and linguistics. Bringing together key established scholars in the field of linguistics and neighbouring disciplines, it introduces the reader to the structures of Romani and its dialect divisions, and to the history of research on the language. It then goes on to explore major external influences on the language through contact with other key languages, aspects of language acquisition, and interventions in support of the language through public policy provisions, activism, translation, religious and literary initiatives, and social media. This comprehensive and groundbreaking account of Romani will appeal to students and scholars from across language and linguistics. Yaron Matras is Professor in Linguistics at the University of Manchester, UK. Anton Tenser is a Docent in Romani Studies at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and an affiliated scholar at the College of Wooster, USA.Linguistic minoritiesSociolinguisticsHistorical linguisticsLanguage policyRomaní (Llengua)thubLingüística històricathubMinories lingüístiquesthubSociolingüísticathubPolítica lingüísticathubMinority Languageshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N67000Sociolinguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N44000Language Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N61000Language Policy and Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N64000Historical Linguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N26000Llibres electrònicsthubLinguistic minorities.Sociolinguistics.Historical linguistics.Language policy.Romaní (Llengua)Lingüística històricaMinories lingüístiquesSociolingüística.Política lingüística.Minority Languages.Sociolinguistics.Language History.Language Policy and Planning.Historical Linguistics.491.49491.497Matras Yaronedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTenser Antonedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910370046603321The Palgrave Handbook of Romani Language and Linguistics2200118UNINA
