Catastrophic Health Insurance for Planet Earth
ISBN: 9781499786996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Concern exists among an increasing number of scientists throughout the world regarding the possibility of a catastrophic event caused by an impact of a large earth-crossing object (ECO) on the Earth-Moon System (EMS), be it an asteroid or comet. Such events, although rare for large objects (greater than 1 kilometer diameter), are not unprecedented. Indeed, the great upheaval and resulting ice age that marked the extinction of the dinosaurs is thought to have been caused by the impact of a 10 km diameter asteroid. In 1908 a stony asteroid of approximately 50 meters diameter exploded in the air...

Defending the Human Weapons System Using Operational Risk Management (ORM) and Bioenvironmental Engineer Capabilities
ISBN: 9781500120573 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Historically, for every one soldier who was a battle casualty 10 other soldiers were unable to fight due to the indirect attacks. These indirect attacks came from biological, chemical, and physical/thermal fronts. Using the Gulf War as a case study, this paper investigates indirect attacks on the Air Force's most valuable resource, people, also known as the Human Weapons System (HWS). This system is defined as the combined physiological make up of individual airmen. Threats to the HWS are identified and the author contends that the HWS like any other system in the Air Force must be defended...

Physiological Problems of Bomber Crews in the Eighth Air Force During WWII
ISBN: 9781500374051 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Aviation physiology is a highly relevant field to flyers of unpressurized aircraft that flew at altitudes in excess of 25,000 feet. Crew members had to contend with severe environmental factors while flying long bombing missions during WWII. The limits of human physiology must be the main concern of any battle plan involving flyers and fatality/mortality rates should be the primary focus in evaluating the success or failure of such a plan. The purpose of this research project is to determine if human factors were overlooked intentionally or by accident. If they were overlooked...

An examination of three distinct operational...

Holy Jerusalem: The Key to Lasting Peace in the Middle East
ISBN: 9781500832353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book explores the Middle East Peace Process in terms of the historical and cultural attachment the three monolithic religions have toward the city of Jerusalem. Although conventional wisdom ascribes to four majors issues preventing a comprehensive settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians: namely borders, security, right of return and Jerusalem, it is actually only Jerusalem that is paramount. If the issue of Jerusalems sovereignty can be solved a compromise solution for the other three will be found. Unfortunately, the common ground required for a negotiated settlement in...

This work analyzes the Second Punic War using the Contextual and Operational Elements found in the Campaign Planning Model to determine how Rome and Carthage conducted the war, and whether they maintained congruency as each respective country pursued their national objective. It examines how they selected their grand strategy, and how that strategy was interpreted and executed at the operational and tactical levels. The model highlights flaws in Carthages formulation and application of its grand strategy which, combined with the lack of strategic insight at the operational level, kept them...

Crisis In Mexico: Assessing The Mérida Initiative And Its Impact On Us-Mexican Security
ISBN: 9781501057779 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) President George W. Bush signed the Merida Initiative, referred to as Plan Mexico by critics, into law on June 30, 2008. The plan contains approximately $1.5 billion in aid to Mexico, Central America, and Caribbean countries to improve regional security by reducing organized crime, drug smuggling, and illegal arms trafficking while strengthening domestic institutions. Critics argue that the plan does not adequately address the demand side of the drug model, will add to the militarization of Mexico, empower corrupt institutions, and reduce the rule of law while failing to address the violence...

America's War on Terror: Islamic Jihadist Ideologue or Radical Hijacker of Islam- Will the Real Enemy Please Step Forward
ISBN: 9781502738691 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The United States National Security Strategy contends that the War on Terror is a "battle of ideas - a fight against the terrorists and against their murderous ideology." In turn, it separates the radical Islamist from their religion - Islam. The problem with this contention rests with the fact that there is no separation of religion from the terrorists', nor from their murderous ideology. In light of this disconnect, a new comprehensive counter strategy is required. Furthermore, ascribing to the premise that today's fight represents a global insurgency, the revised strategy must seek out...

The Collapse of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: A Multilateral Approach to Northeast Asia
ISBN: 9781500491352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Since the early 1990s the DPRK has faced a prolonged period of adversity resulting from a combination of natural catastrophes and failed state policies. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the death of Kim-Il Sung in 1994, provoked many acrimonious debates among experts over when North Korea (NK) will cease to exist. The famine in 1997, claiming millions of lives, as well as devastating floods in 2007, have perpetuated these discussions, making the prospect for a collapse perhaps greater now than in any time in its history. Based on the German reunification model in the early 1990s, many...

The Battle of Kasserine Pass: An Examination of Allied Operational Failings
ISBN: 9781500731151 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Battle of Kasserine Pass proved to be a shock both to American military forces in the field and to the American public at home. The defeat of the Allied forces in the battle put doubt into the minds of many - all of whom assumed the righteous democracies of the western Allies could not be defeated in the field by the armies of Fascism. The defeat suffered by the Allies had nothing to do with right versus wrong, however, but was very much a product of a number of operational shortcomings on the part of the Allies. Poor logistics, failures on the part of American leadership, lack of unity...

Operational Defenses through Weather Control in 2030
ISBN: 9781500890582 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The United States needs to incorporate the defense against directed energy weapons with the same intensity used developing anti-ballistic missile defenses. One of the major drawbacks to optical or directed energy systems is the inability to penetrate clouds or dense fog. Advances in technology are beginning to bring weather phenomena under our control. Greatly increased computing power and micronized delivery systems will allow us to create specific perturbations in local atmospheric conditions. These perturbations allow for the immediate and lasting ability to create localized fog or stratus...

In order to effectively write grand strategy for the twenty first century it is important to understand how American exceptionalism among other influences affects U.S. grand strategy. The ideological constant of American exceptionalism has historically influenced and at times constrained U.S. grand strategy. American exceptionalism continues to influence Americas grand strategy in the present and is likely to do so in the future. A historical analysis is used to analyze the historical roots of exceptionalism in the United States starting with the Puritans and other thinkers of the time. The...

Historical Analysis of the 1st Air Commando Group Operations in the CBI Theater August 1943 to May 1944
ISBN: 9781505377835 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book conducts an analysis of the 1st Air Commando Group (ACG) and its operations in the China-Burma-India (CBI) theater from August 1943 to May 1944. History lends credence to the fact that this small unorthodox group of airmen, envisioned from the simple idea of "what if" and fashioned in a mere few months time into a cohesive and viable fighting force, breathed life into the stagnant Allied effort of removing the Japanese from the China-Burma-India theater. The question is, how? How could such a small unit, which was forced upon the traditional military structure in the CBI theater,...

This book analyzes the problem of a nuclear DPRK from a grand strategy level. The technical and scientific aspects of a nuclear settlement are avoided. Existing material on this issue is abundant and a concerted effort was made to study both Eastern and Western research sources. From this analysis flows certain conclusions about a diplomatic solution between the DPRK and the United States. The books conclusions and recommendations were intentionally crafted in broad terms. It will be for others to develop specific tactics under these broad themes. The analysis centers on the current...
