Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since World War II, the United States has yielded many of its policy decisions to the desires of the United States military. These policy decisions reach from nylon and aluminum restrictions for the war efforts of World War II through the tough military build-up policies of the 1980s amidst fiscal constraints. In the aftermath of the conflict in Vietnam, President Ronald Reagan was determined to regain America's influence in the world by rebuilding the military and strengthening the economy. In 1989, the Berlin Wall came crashing down as the prelude to the fall of the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain of communism. Without the apparent threat of war with the Soviet Union, the United States began to focus more on maintaining an economic and political leadership role around the world. No longer did the United States military hold a firm grip on the rudder of national policy. Instead, a balance between the amount of military power required to remain relevant in the world and economic and political influence was sought. One of the tools provided by the military to the civilian community is the Global Positioning System (GPS). This system, originally designed for the United States military, was released for public use in a degraded form after the tragic downing of a Korean airliner by Soviet fighter aircraft after the airliner unknowingly strayed into Soviet airspace in 1983. The GPS system's full accuracy capability was not released to the public out of fear by the Department of Defense (DOD) that potential adversaries might use the system for inertial guidance of smart munitions against the U.S. Currently, there is a controversy over the possibility of expanded access to the highly accurate GPS signals heretofore available only to authorized DOD users. The decision to grant full access to the precision signal will be made by the President of the United States after weighing all of the factors which impact on the full release of this system for unrestricted civilian us.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Anthropocene Antarctica offers new ways of thinking about the 'Continent for Science and Peace' in a time of planetary environmental change. In the Anthropocene, Antarctica has become central to the Earth's future. Ice cores taken from its interior reveal the deep environmental history of the planet and warming ocean currents are ominously destabilising the glaciers around its edges, presaging sea-level rise in decades and centuries to come. At the same time, proliferating research stations and tourist numbers challenge stereotypes of the continent as the 'last wilderness.' The Anthropocene brings Antarctica nearer in thought, entangled with our everyday actions. If the Anthropocene signals the end of the idea of Nature as separate from humans, then the Antarctic, long considered the material embodiment of this idea, faces a radical reframing.Understanding the southern polar region in the twenty-first century requires contributions across the disciplinary spectrum. This collection paves the way for researchers in the Environmental Humanities, Law and Social Sciences to engage critically with the Antarctic, fostering a community of scholars who can act with natural scientists to address the globally significant environmental issues that face this vitally important part of the planet.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Natural disasters have plagued the world since the earliest recorded history but word of these events spread only as fast as the existing mode of travel allowed. Although these disasters have caused immense human suffering throughout the ages, the invention of technologies such as global satellite broadcasting of voice and images has transmitted vivid pictures of far away disasters into the homes of people around the world. These news reports and pictures brought into sharp focus the magnitude of the natural disaster and human suffering within a matter of minutes or hours. With this increased awareness in the situation and plight of others around the world, the leading nations of the world have found this human suffering to be morally unacceptable and are more likely to intervene to bring better living conditions to those less fortunate. With the end of the Cold War in 1989, the free world began searching for a new unifying purpose since the Soviet Union and its satellite countries were no longer a viable threat for nuclear or conventional war. Without the focus of an impending war on the European continent, political leaders were more comfortable engaging their military forces in the conduct of peace keeping, peace enforcement, and humanitarian assistance missions. Often all three types of missions occurred simultaneously in the same area. Using the requirements of previous humanitarian and peacekeeping operations, the monograph provides more insights into whether an U.S. Army corps is capable of conducting this type of operation. Using a posited natural disaster in Cuba, the U.S. Army corps' capability in a complex humanitarian assistance operation will be used to provide an answer to the research question. The situation begins with a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, that strikes the island of Cuba causing massive destruction to the civil infrastructure. The destruction is so extensive throughout the island that the Cuban government is unable to restore pub.…
