Strategic Management of Marine Ecosystems
Author: Eugene Levner
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 140203198X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
The demand for advanced management methods and tools for marine ecosystems is increasing worldwide. Today, many marine ecosystems are significantly affected by disastrous pollution from industrial, agricultural, municipal, transportational, and other anthropogenic sources. The issues of environmental integrity are especially acute in the Mediterranean and Red Sea basins, the cradle of modern civilization. The drying of the Dead Sea is one of the most vivid examples of environmental disintegration with severe negative consequences on the ecology, industry, and wildlife in the area. Strategic management and coordination of international remedial and restoration efforts is required to improve environmental conditions of marine ecosystems in the Middle East as well as in other areas. The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) held in Nice in October 2003 was designed to: (1) provide a discussion forum for the latest developments in the field of environmentally-conscious strategic management of marine environments, and (2) integrate expertise of ecologists, biologists, economists, and managers from European, American, Canadian, Russian, and Israeli organizations in developing a framework for strategic management of marine ecosystems. The ASI addressed the following issues: Key environmental management problems in exploited marine ecosystems; Measuring and monitoring of municipal, industrial, and agricultural effluents; Global contamination of seawaters and required remedial efforts; Supply Chain Management approach for strategic coastal zones management and planning; Development of environmentally friendly technologies for coastal zone development; Modeling for sustainable aquaculture; and Social, political, and economic challenges in marine ecosystem management.

Incident at Tybee Island
Author: Rowan Wolfe
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1463492286
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
A nuclear device is missing. Al Qaeda is the prime suspect. So where and when are the terrorists going to detonate the bomb? Fact: On February 5, 1957, a B-47 carrying a nuclear weapon was involved in a mid-air collision off the coast of Georgia. Fiction: (or is it?) After the events of 9/11, the renewed Air Force search for the bomb takes on new meaning, but it soon becomes apparent that someone has beaten them to it. Flying passenger aircraft into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is one thing. A nuclear bomb in the wrong hands is quite another. Not wanting whole-scale panic, the decision is quickly made to mount a covert operation to find the stolen bomb and get it back. With many twists along the way, the final outcome isn’t what anyone expected. “Rowan Wolfe has cleverly crafted fact into fiction and Incident at Tybee Island is an accurate account of what really happened. The book is a thrilling, well-written fast-paced read that kept me turning pages. Colonel Howard Richardson. USAF (Ret). Pilot of the B-47 who jettisoned the bomb. www.rowanwolfe.com

The Future of US Warfare
Author: Scott N. Romaniuk
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317030990
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the future of US warfare, including its military practices and the domestic and global challenges it faces. The need to undertake a comprehensive analysis about the future of warfare for the US is more pressing today than ever before. New technologies and adversaries, both old and new, have the potential to revolutionize how wars are fought, and it is imperative that policy makers, military planners, and scholars engage with the latest analyses regarding these new threats and weapon systems. The primary aim of this book is to provide a clear and comprehensive depiction of the types of conflict that the United States is likely to become involved with in the future, as well as the methods of warfare that it may employ within these struggles. While a number of scholarly books have previously considered some of the potential features of US warfare in the future, many of these writings are either outdated or have limited their focus to just one or two of the main types of warfare that may occur and omitted consideration of the others. This book intends to remedy this deficiency in the literature. The volume consists of thematic chapters which address the key issues relevant to the future of US warfare, including cyber warfare, asymmetric conflicts, drone warfare, and nuclear strategy. Through the provision of a series of analyses by leading international academics, the volume provides an important interdisciplinary examination of the different areas of warfare that the United States is expected to use or encounter in the future. This book will be of great interest to students of US foreign policy, military studies, strategic studies and International Relations in general.

The Use of Force for State Power
Author: Michael Warner
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303045410X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
This book studies force, the coercive application of power against resistance, building from Thomas Hobbes’ observation that all self-contained political orders have some ultimate authority that uses force to both dispense justice and to defend the polity against its enemies. This cross-disciplinary analysis finds that rulers concentrate force through cooperation, conveyance, and comprehension, applying common principles across history. Those ways aim to keep foes from concerting their actions, or by eliminating the trust that should bind them. In short, they make enemies afraid to cooperate, and now they are doing so in cyberspace as well.
