    This volume summarizes the results of a ten-year survey of small-sized marine Achnanthales (Bacillariophyceae) in Central Polynesia (South Pacific), focusing on their valve ultrastructures using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The degree of colonization of benthic marine substrates, species richness and emergence of new diatom taxa appear to vary according to the geologic past, presence of coral reefs and degree of insularity of each Central Polynesia island. Several recently published taxa from French Polynesia, such as Cocconeis santandrea and Xenococconeis opunohusiensis, are presented herein, together with some unpublished observations and new illustrations on all of the 13 described taxa. A Venn diagram permits the first comparison with assemblages studied with the same methodologies from Central Polynesia, New Caledonia and Mascarenes (Indian Ocean). Potential endemism is briefly discussed. The taxonomy used in this volume is based on valve ultrastructure as seen in the SEM, which allows an easier comparison of the small marine tropical Achnanthales taxa, which can be difficult to distinguish by light microscopy. It questions the presence of forms or 'morphs' in several species complexes. The concept of endemism in marine eukaryotes, currently still controversial, opens up other perspectives on the biogeography of these organisms. Marine benthic and small-sized diatoms are poorly studied in contrast to freshwater diatoms, which are often used to develop diatom indices for determining water quality. This volume can help researchers working on the taxonomy of the order Achnanthales, but will also aid students beginning detailed studies of marine benthic diatoms.

    This book examines the role of the Grumman F4F Wildcat, the US Navy's standard carrier fighter at the start of the Pacific War, and its clashes against the Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force's Mitsubishi A6M Zero-sen.The US Navy went to war in December 1941 with the tubby Wildcat, the first of Grumman's famed 'cats', as its principal carrier fighter. Ruggedly built and well armed, the F4F's performance was inferior to the Japanese Zero-sen, yet in the carrier battles of 1942 between the US Navy and the IJN the Wildcat pilots more than held their own against some of the finest naval aviators in the world. Many of the Wildcat pilots that saw action in the South Pacific comprised what respected naval historian John Lundstrom has called the 'First Team' - the small group of highly trained prewar pilots who manned the bulk of the US Navy's carrier fighter squadrons. Illustrated with specially commissioned artwork, including armament views and ribbon diagrams, the book examines the carrier battles that took place in August and October in the South Pacific around the first American offensive of the war - the amphibious assault on the island of Guadalcanal, and the actions of the Wildcat in combat with IJN carrier aircraft. The key combat actions are described and accompanied with rare and original photographs and diagrams, as are the training and tactics that contributed to the Wildcat's success.

    Es beginnt auf einer Südseeinsel in der schönsten Umgebung.Ein scheinbar harmloses Seminar endet mit einem schrecklichen Erwachen. Es bleiben von Mirella nur verzweifelte Aufzeichnungen in Ihrem Tagebuch. Das Ende eines Menschen wird zu einem Anfang, der alles bisherige verändern soll.Vaclav Santini spielt die erste Geige in seinem Prager Orchester. Die Entfremdung zu seiner Frau Mirella hatte sich eingeschlichen wie ein Dieb in der Nacht. Sie war in einen Sog gewisser Kreise geraten, der ihr zum Verhängnis werden sollte.Anneke Vermeer aus Amsterdam meldet sich unerwartet und kommt für einen Besuch nach Prag. Das Wiedersehen mit Vaclav gestaltet sich völlig anders als erwartet. Der Tod Mirellas wirft Widersprüche auf, die Vaclav und Anneke in den Strudel der Ereignisse ziehen.Kommissar Jasinski in Prag tappt zunächst im Dunkeln. Spuren führen nach Amsterdam. In Amsterdam setzen sich langsam Bruchstücke zusammen. Es ergibt sich ein roter Faden, der Experimente an Menschen offenlegt, deren Anwendung unvorstellbare Folgen haben wird. Ein Szenario aus Verschleierung und Manipulation macht die Spurensuche fast unmöglich.Ein Konzern gerät ins Zentrum der Ermittlungen. Die Ergebnisse übertreffen alles bisher Denkbare. Kann dem geplanten Albtraum Einhalt geboten werden?
