Oral History Interview with Joseph Cook
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Joseph Cook. Cook joined the Navy in 1942. He completed boot camp at Norfolk Naval Operating Base. He was then assigned to the Submarine Chasers Training Center, Miami, where he remained through 1943. He served as an officer’s steward. Beginning in mid-1944, Cook continued his work aboard USS Phantom (AM-273). They completed minesweeping and escort duties along the US East Coast and off Bermuda for the remainder of the year. In January 1945, they traveled to McNabs Island, Nova Scotia. In mid-1945, they traveled to Pearl Harbor. From there, Cook traveled aboard YMS-267 to Saipan and Japan, providing escort duty. He describes going on liberty in Kobe, Japan. They returned to the US and Cook received his discharge on 6 July 1946
Joseph Cook on Socialism.
Full text linkNEW PUBLICATIONS. Joseph Cook on Socialism. Joseph Cook\u27s book, called Socialism, with Preludes on Current Events is made up of ten Fof his celebrated Boston Monday Lectures. The leading suojects discussed iu tire-volume are: \u27 The perils of the United States from Communistic and Socialistic disease ;\u27* Self- help for the poor as opposed to State-help; Co-operative industry, and crowded city populations; Sunday laws; Temperance ; •\u27 High Schools; Woman\u27s right to the ballot in regard to temperance and education The \u27 Chinese: Joseph Cook; , Tramps etc. The book is crowded with good, wholesome, old-fashioned truths, Vigorously told, with an air of novel scientific discovery, and mixed with a good deal of grotesque absurdity and lame reasoning. Even while saying his. best things with admirable force, he too often makes one think of. a braggart, not quite soSeJi- stamping, and squaring; and calling come on instead of the-plodding .laborer in the world\u27s work humbly doing the best he can, conscious of the thousand impenetrable mysteries that confront poor, struggling humanity, j and in the midst of which the wisest feel com- I pelled to grope. In the discussion of the most i perplexing subjects, this teacher is always confident of the completeness of the range of his visioD, and of the value of his plans, far more confident than Christ was while contemplating the ills of humanity. He delights in the relations of science and religion, nevertheless he seems singularly free from the domination of the scientific spirit. Striding on with the air of _.a very.giant towards theliearifo? his theme he at first makes one\u27s eyes sparkTe with the hope that now at length the man has arisen -who will bring light into the darkest e*4fee social and religious corners, grade away from the slums and thistly commons of earth to the celestial country, and make the going easy. But somehow he fails just where the real difficulties are first met, and we are left, on the old ground. On page 42 he ssfyst Nothing will enable (be church to draw the whole world into her bosom so closely as changing .the secular .pursuits of men into divine avocations. Mr. Cook seems fo be about the only man comfortably sure that this great change may be easily j made. Only convert everybody and everybody will be converted. And again, in his defense of I high schools: Give me the high school under : generally Christian influence; give me good secondary education in the United States ; give me developed thoughtfulness in the masses, and I have little fear of the irruption of Socialism and Communism. It is just this developed thoughifulness in the masses that cannot be given now, or for a long time to come, however close together the schools and churches may be planted. A portion of .his lecture on tramps suggests Boabdil\u27s method of defeating an army. .What shall be done with our tramps ? I would place them in work-houses. But how \u27 shallthe roving idlers and beggars and thieves be caught ? —I should like to have a regulation that there be appointed, but not publicly proclaimed, a day each summer for hunting tramps.. 3 ou cannot expect the farmer to leave his work • to get the tramps arrested; but if you will have a secret understanding among, the constables of Massachusetts that on such a day, say the 3d of July, the power of..\u27 all the officers shall be put forth at once to catch these vagabonds, and if tbe constables let into the secret some of the most active men of the different towns, the tramps will have no opportunity to run from the border of one town and obtain freedom in another. You will sweep up all the vagabonds in Massachusetts in one attack. After the jolly bunt, was over, they were to be taught morals, religion and philosophy, and thus have ail of the sad mud of their natures, whether inherited or acquired, transmuted to divine gold. He-rolls his good Saxon sentences against the difficulties of his theme like sea; breakers against a bluff,, hut. the difficulties, j like the bluff, continue to loom up out. of the spray without seeming much the worse after the storm. Nevertheless, nearly everything he Baysjgakes on the side of the right, and he does \u27goo*ork in repeating in vigorous, telling language those lessons which require constant (repetition. We think the book well worth reading, if not for instruction, at least for suggestions concerning the great questions of the aimes. Thefollowing introductory paragraph to the volume is from the stern old prophet Carlyle : Cease to brag to me of America and 5ts model institutions and constitutions. Amer-\u27 iea, too, will have to strain its energies, crack Sts sinews and ail but break its heart as\u27the rest of us have had to do in the thousand-fold, wrestle with the Pythons and mud-demons before it can become a. habitation for the gods.; America\u27s battle is yet to fight. New spiritual\u27 Pythons, plenty of them- enormous Megatheriums, as ugly as ever were born of mud,! doom -huge and hideous out of the twilight\u27 future on America; and she will have her own agony and her own victory, but on other terms than she is yet quite\u27 aware of.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
