Описание:
If you center a globe on Kiritimati (Christmas Island), all you see around it is a vast expanse of ocean. Islands of various sizes float in view while glimpses of continents encroach on the fringes, but this is a view dominated by water. The immense stretch of the Pacific Ocean is inhabited by a diverse array of peoples and cultures bound by a common thread: their relationship with the sea.
In this volume, the rich history of the Pacific is explored through specific objects, each one beautifully illustrated, from the earliest human engagement with the Pacific through to the modern day. Entries cover mapping, trade, whaling, flora and fauna, and the myriad vessels used to traverse the ocean. This visually stunning publication highlights the importance of an ocean that covers very nearly a third of the surface of the globe, and which has dramatically shaped the world and people around it.
A new look at this fascinating ocean, considering the diversity of culture beyond the familiar viewpoint of colonial history. • Fully illustrated with maps, paintings, artefacts and photographs, with some items from the Library collection reproduced for the very first time. • Beautifully packaged in landscape format and cloth quarter-binding
The term "malaphor," a combination of "metaphor" and "malaprop," was coined in 1976 by Lawrence Harrison, a senior executive in the State Department. Harrison found gems in endless bureaucratic meetings, such as "he said it off the top of his cuff" or "don't rock the trough."
Author David Hatfield has been collecting malaphors for over thirty years. He Smokes like a Fish and Other Malaphors (Unintentional Idiom and Word Blends) is his offering to language enthusiasts everywhere.
Malaphors know no bounds. From the man on the street to President Barack Obama, a truly diverse array of people is represented within these covers. Hatfield has mined for malaphors in every imaginable venue: movies, television, sports, music, the internet, at work, and on the street. People from all over the world have shared gems on Hatfield's website.
So sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy this truly unique collection of verbal play and mix-ups.

The Battle at Hurricane Bridge is an often overlooked Civil War action occurring at the small and otherwise quiet western Virginia village. For five hours behind the limited protection of an unfinished earthen fort, the green Union troops of the 13th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry under the command of Captain James Johnson, fought to hold off the hardened Confederateveterans of the 8th and 16th Virginia Cavalry commanded by Brigadier General Albert Gallatin Jenkins. Ultimately, the March 28, 1863, battle at Hurricane Bridge directly contributed to the Union army maintaining control of the James River & KanawhaTurnpike, a key supply line, and enabled Federal control of the Kanawha Valley for the remainder of the war.
"...the enemy appeared in force and opened a furious fire upon us simultaneously on three sides from as many different hills, owing to the high elevation of which, and unfinished condition of our works, exposed our men to a most galling cross fire, which they withstood and returned with the firmness of veterans." - Captain James W. Johnson, 13th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, Union Commander at Hurricane Bridge, March 28, 1863
