Book Description
Fahrenheit Classified: Dawn of a New Era By Tavares Rankins As the world witnesses a series of terrorist attacks on American soil, the U.S. President relies on his best Navy SEALS – Hellz, Nok, and Four-Lung – known as Team Hellswindstaff. In efforts of capturing the most wanted terrorist in the World, Team Hellswindstaff, known to be the most lethal soldiers in the entire world, lead four missions: Ground Zero, Fahrenheit Classified, Fahrenheit Reclassified, and Fahrenheit Classified the Wrath of Hellswindstaff. Fahrenheit Classified: Dawn of a New Era will birth a new generation of terrorists! As the most lethal soldier, Agent Hellswindstaff (a.k.a. Hellz), sacrificed his life to defeat the Al-Qaida network and fellow team members, Nok and Four-lung, retired after losing a fellow SEAL member and successfully eliminating Usoma Bin Laden. Three additional Navy SEALS step in to carry on the legacy of Team Hellswindstaff. To become the new team Hellswindstaff, these three soldiers – Ammon, Mako, and Abbadon – were trained by the original members of Team Hellswindstaff. Abbadon, Mako and Ammon are believed to be as deadly as, or even deadlier than, their predecessors. With only one man on earth knowing their whereabouts and location, these three soldiers would soon be called upon to protect the President, protect the American people, and fend off terrorist attacks from a new radical extremist terrorist group straddling the border between the two countries of Iraq and Syria. During this mission, Team Hellswindstaff will defend terrorist attacks against Times Square, Niagara Falls, Disney Land, and Union Station. With a terrorist attack planned and executed so well that for the first time in U.S. history the American President will be captured by terrorists! Will the President finally meet his demise at the hands of new radical extreme terrorists? Join Team Hellswindstaff as they lead a highly tactical, very suspenseful mission in efforts to protect the American people, defend attacks on U.S. soil, and most importantly, save the American President. The Saga Continues…

Fahrenheit Classified Deadly 6 by Tavares Rankins As the world would witness a series of terrorist attacks on American soil, the U.S. President would rely on his best Navy SEALS – Hellz, Nok and Four-Lung– known as team Hellswindstaff. Team Hellswindstaff, known to be the most lethal soldiers in the entire world, lead three missions: Fahrenheit Classified, Fahrenheit Reclassified, and Fahrenheit Classified the Wrath of Hellswindstaff. All of the missions are in efforts to capture or kill the most wanted terrorist in the world. Team Hellswindstaff tracked the most wanted terrorist (Usoma Bin Laden) and, although the SEALS successfully eliminate and kill UBL, it would be a bittersweet victory as team Hellswindstaff member, Agent Hellswindstaff A.K.A. Agent Hellz, the most lethal soldier in the World, sacrificed his life to take out the most wanted terrorist. The two surviving Navy SEALS of team Hellswindstaff retire after the death of their fellow SEAL but were forced to come out of retirement and join their understudy during mission Dawn of a New Era. Fahrenheit Classified: Deadly 6 begins where Fahrenheit Classified: Dawn of a New Era ends! Join five of the world’s most lethal Navy SEALS in efforts to defend against terrorist attacks from a new radical group of extremists known as I.S.I.S. During this mission, the five members of Team Hellswindstaff travel to foreign lands in efforts to neutralize terrorist cells located in Iraq and Syria, and, while the SEALS attempt to neutralize terrorist cells, the United States suffers a breach of epic proportions. An expert hacker turned terrorist hacks into U.S. National Security, retrieving some of the United States top military secrets, information, and addresses of top U.S. Officials; but when the Hacker uncovers information regarding the world’s most lethal Navy SEALS known as team Hellswindstaff, all rules of war are no longer considered as things become personal!

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
This new edition of The Science of Environmental Pollution presents common-sense approaches and practical examples based on scientific principles, models, and observations, but keeps the text lively and understandable for scientists and non-scientists alike. It addresses the important questions regarding environmental pollution: What is it? What is its impact? What are the causes and how can we mitigate them? But more than this, it stimulates new ways to think about the issues and their possible solutions. This fourth edition has been updated throughout, and greatly expands its coverage of endocrine disruptors and includes all new information on persistent "forever chemicals." Environmental issues continue to attract attention at all levels. Some sources say that pollution is the direct cause of climate change; others deny that the possibility even exists. This text sorts through the hyperbole, providing concepts and guidelines that not only aid in understanding the issues, but equip readers with the scientific rationale required to make informed decisions. Features: Updated throughout, and contains a new chapter on the effects of endocrine disruptors in the environment. Provides an introduction to air, soil, and water pollution sources and remediation. Addresses pressing issues such as global climate change, rising sea levels, polluted air, increased weather phenomena, and the state of potable water worldwide. Supplies a vital information source for policy-makers involved in decisions concerning environmental management. Includes case studies, examples, and study questions. The Science of Environmental Pollution is suitable for students taking undergraduate-level courses dealing with the environment and related pollution issues. It will also serve as a useful reference for environmental managers, politicians, legal experts, and interested general readers.

American Carrier Air Power at the Dawn of a New Century
Author: Benjamin S. Lambeth
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Afghan War, 2001-
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
This report presents the highlights of the U.S. Navy's carrier air performance during the first two major wars of the 21st century: Operation Enduring Freedom against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan in 2001 and 2002 and the subsequent 3-week period of major combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom in early 2003 that finally ended the rule of Saddam Hussein. The report also addresses ongoing modernization trends in U.S. carrier air capability. In the first war noted above, U.S. carrier air power substituted almost entirely for land-based theater air forces because of an absence of suitable shore-based forward operating locations for the latter. In the second, 6 of 12 carriers and their embarked air wings were surged to contribute to the campaign, with a seventh carrier battle group held in reserve in the Western Pacific and an eighth also deployed and available for tasking. The air wings that were embarked in the 6 committed carriers in the latter campaign flew approximately half the total number of fighter sorties generated altogether by U.S. Central Command. As attested by the performance of naval aviation in both operations, the warfighting potential of today's U.S. carrier strike groups has grown substantially over that of the carrier battle groups that represented the cutting edge of U.S. naval power at the end of the Cold War. The research findings reported herein are the interim results of a larger ongoing study by the author on U.S. carrier air operations and capability improvements since the end of the Cold War. They should interest U.S. naval officers and other members of the defense and national security community concerned with the evolving role of U.S. carrier air power in joint and combined operations. An extensive bibliography is included.

Learning to Die in the Anthropocene
Author: Roy Scranton
Publisher: City Lights Publishers
ISBN: 087286670X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
"In Learning to Die in the Anthropocene, Roy Scranton draws on his experiences in Iraq to confront the grim realities of climate change. The result is a fierce and provocative book."--Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History "Roy Scranton's Learning to Die in the Anthropocene presents, without extraneous bullshit, what we must do to survive on Earth. It's a powerful, useful, and ultimately hopeful book that more than any other I've read has the ability to change people's minds and create change. For me, it crystallizes and expresses what I've been thinking about and trying to get a grasp on. The economical way it does so, with such clarity, sets the book apart from most others on the subject."--Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach trilogy "Roy Scranton lucidly articulates the depth of the climate crisis with an honesty that is all too rare, then calls for a reimagined humanism that will help us meet our stormy future with as much decency as we can muster. While I don't share his conclusions about the potential for social movements to drive ambitious mitigation, this is a wise and important challenge from an elegant writer and original thinker. A critical intervention."--Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate "Concise, elegant, erudite, heartfelt & wise."--Amitav Ghosh, author of Flood of Fire "War veteran and journalist Roy Scranton combines memoir, philosophy, and science writing to craft one of the definitive documents of the modern era."--The Believer Best Books of 2015 Coming home from the war in Iraq, US Army private Roy Scranton thought he'd left the world of strife behind. Then he watched as new calamities struck America, heralding a threat far more dangerous than ISIS or Al Qaeda: Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy, megadrought--the shock and awe of global warming. Our world is changing. Rising seas, spiking temperatures, and extreme weather imperil global infrastructure, crops, and water supplies. Conflict, famine, plagues, and riots menace from every quarter. From war-stricken Baghdad to the melting Arctic, human-caused climate change poses a danger not only to political and economic stability, but to civilization itself . . . and to what it means to be human. Our greatest enemy, it turns out, is ourselves. The warmer, wetter, more chaotic world we now live in--the Anthropocene--demands a radical new vision of human life. In this bracing response to climate change, Roy Scranton combines memoir, reportage, philosophy, and Zen wisdom to explore what it means to be human in a rapidly evolving world, taking readers on a journey through street protests, the latest findings of earth scientists, a historic UN summit, millennia of geological history, and the persistent vitality of ancient literature. Expanding on his influential New York Times essay (the #1 most-emailed article the day it appeared, and selected for Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014), Scranton responds to the existential problem of global warming by arguing that in order to survive, we must come to terms with our mortality. Plato argued that to philosophize is to learn to die. If that’s true, says Scranton, then we have entered humanity’s most philosophical age--for this is precisely the problem of the Anthropocene. The trouble now is that we must learn to die not as individuals, but as a civilization. Roy Scranton has published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Boston Review, and Theory and Event, and has been interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air, among other media.

A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis
Author: Douglas A. Wiegmann
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351962353
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation. Widely disseminated among military and civilian organizations, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including the conditions of operators and elements of supervisory and organizational failure. It attracts a very broad readership. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois. This book will also be used in courses designed for military safety officers and flight surgeons in the U.S. Navy, Army and the Canadian Defense Force, who currently utilize the HFACS system during aviation accident investigations. Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide. The book is also targeted for students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University which has satellite campuses throughout the world and offers a course in human factors accident investigation for many of its majors. In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute. Finally, this book serves as an excellent reference guide for many safety professionals and investigators already in the field.
