Taking the publication of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick?s Epistemologies of the Closet as emblematic of the Library?s inability to account for sexual difference, Melissa Adler embarks upon a detailed critique of how cataloging systems have delimited and proscribed expressions of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and race in a manner that mirrors psychiatric and sociological attempts to pathologize non-normative sexual practices and civil subjects. Taking up a parallel analysis, Adler utilizes Roderick A. Ferguson?s Aberrations in Black as another example of how the Library of Congress fails to account for, and thereby ?buries,? difference. She examines the physical space of the Library as one that encourages forms of governmentality as theorized by Michel Foucault while also allowing for its utopian possibilities. Finally, she offers a brief but highly illuminating history of the Delta Collection. Likely established before the turn of the twentieth century and active until its gradual dissolution in the 1960s, the Delta Collection was a secret archive within the Library of Congress that housed materials confiscated by the United States Post Office and other federal agencies. These were materials deemed too obscene for public dissemination or general access. Adler reveals how the Delta Collection was used to regulate difference and squelch dissent in the McCarthy era while also linking it to evolving understandings of so-called perversion in the scientific study of sexual difference. Sophisticated, engrossing, and highly readable, Cruising the Library provides us with a critical understanding of library science, an alternative view of discourses around the history of sexuality, and an analysis of the relationship between governmentality and the cataloging of research and information?as well as categories of difference?in American culture. 606 $aClassification, Library of Congress$xEvaluation 606 $aSubject headings, Library of Congress$xEvaluation 606 $aSubject cataloging$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCataloging$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aSubject headings$xSexual minorities 606 $aClassification$xBooks$xMinorities 610 $aClassification. 610 $aEve Kosofsky Sedgwick. 610 $aHistory of Sexuality. 610 $aKnowledge Organization. 610 $aLibraries. 610 $aLibrary of Congress. 610 $aPerversion. 610 $aQueer theory. 615 0$aClassification, Library of Congress$xEvaluation. 615 0$aSubject headings, Library of Congress$xEvaluation. 615 0$aSubject cataloging$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCataloging$xGovernment policy 615 0$aSubject headings$xSexual minorities. 615 0$aClassification$xBooks$xMinorities. 676 $a025.4/33 686 $aLAN025000$aSOC012000$2bisacsh 700 $aAdler$b Melissa$01539250 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792878903321 996 $aCruising the Library$93789987 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04554nim 2200421Ka 450 001 9910151948403321 005 20250814103520.9 010 $a1-5094-2178-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000953691 035 $a(ODN)ODN0003210892 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000953691 100 $a20190331d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $auruna---||||| 181 $cspw$2rdacontent 182 $cs$2rdamedia 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSubmarine warfare in the atlantic $eThe history of the fighting under the waves between the allies and nazi germany during world war ii. /$fCharles River Editors 205 $aUnabridged. 210 $aSolon $cCharles River Editors$d2016 215 $a1 online resource (2 audio files) $cdigital 300 $aUnabridged. 330 $aDanger prowled under both the cold gray waters of the North Sea and the shimmering blue waves of the tropical Atlantic during World War II as Adolf Hitler's Third Reich attempted to strangle Allied shipping lanes with U-boat attacks. German and British submarines combed the vast oceanic battlefield for prey, while scientists developed new technologies and countermeasures. Submarine warfare began tentatively during the American Civil War (though the Netherlands and England made small prototypes centuries earlier, and the American sergeant Ezra Lee piloted the one-man "Turtle" vainly against HMS Eagle near New York in 1776). Britisher Robert Whitehead's invention of the torpedo introduced the weapon later used most frequently by submarines. Steady improvements to Whitehead's design led to the military torpedoes deployed against shipping during both World Wars. World War I witnessed the First Battle of the Atlantic, when the Kaiserreich unleashed its U-boats against England. During the war's 52.5 months, the German submarines sent much of the British merchant marine to the bottom. Indeed, German reliance on U-boats in both World War I and World War II stemmed largely from their nation's geography. The Germans eventually recognized the primacy of the Royal Navy and its capacity to blockade Germany's short coastline in the event of war. While the British could easily interdict surface ships, submarines slipped from their Kiel or Hamburg anchorages unseen, able to prey upon England's merchant shipping. During World War I, German U-boats operated solo except on one occasion. Initially, the British and nations supplying England with food and materiel scattered vessels singly across the ocean, making them vulnerable to the lone submarines. However, widespread late war re-adoption of the convoy system tipped the odds in the surface ships' favor, as one U-boat skipper described: "The oceans at once became bare and empty; for long periods at a time the U-boats, operating individually, would see nothing at all; and then suddenly up would loom a huge concourse of ships, thirty or fifty or more of them, surrounded by a strong escort of warships of all types." (Blair, 1996, 55). World War I proved the value of submarines, ensuring their widespread employment in the next conflict. Besides Germany and Britain, Japan and the United States also built extensive submarine fleets before and/or during the war. One critical innovation in World War II's Atlantic U-boat operations consisted of wolf-pack tactics, in which Admiral Karl Dönitz put great faith: "The greater the number of U-boats that could be brought simultaneously into the attack, the more favourable would become the opportunities offered to each individual attacker. [...] it was obvious that, on strategic and general tactical grounds, attacks on convoys must be carried out by a number of U-boats acting in unison." (Dönitz, 1990, 4). However, even the wolf-pack proved insufficient to defeat the Atlantic convoys and stop Allied commerce ? the precise opposite of the Pacific theater, where America's excellent submarine forces annihilated much of Japan's merchant marine and inflicted severe damage on the Imperial Japanese Navy. 517 $aSubmarine Warfare in the Atlantic 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aHistory$2OverDrive 606 $aMilitary$2OverDrive 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aHistory. 615 7$aMilitary. 686 $aHIS014000$aHIS027100$aHIS037070$2bisacsh 700 $aEditors$b Charles River$01843297 701 $aGallagher$b Dan$01843298 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910151948403321 996 $aSubmarine warfare in the atlantic$94428021 997 $aUNINA
