Duikboten kunnen wat geen enkel ander schip kan: onderwater varen. Aan het eind van de zestiende eeuw werden de eerste prototypes voor een duikboot al getest. In 1776 werden ze voor het eerst in gebruik genomen. Maar pas vanaf 1880 kwam het type schip echt tot wasdom met de komst van effectieve motoren. Onderzeeërs werden voor het eerst op grote schaal gebruikt in de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Ook in de Tweede Wereldoorlog speelden ze een belangri...

Excerpt from The Ainu of Japan: The Religion, Superstitions, and General History of the Hairy Aborigines of Japan The major portion of the chapters contained in this volume were not originally intended for publication, but were written as letters to relatives, who naturally take a great interest in Mission work, especially in Japan.

Excerpt from The Ainu and Their Folk-Lore After thinking the matter well over, I came to the conclusion that it would be better to write a new book, especially as I had in hand a large quantity of new material in the way of legends and folk-lore. The present production is not, therefore, simply the old volume revised (though much has been quoted from it), but a new book with the mistakes found in the old one rectified as far as known.
