Product Description
During the past decade, the nature of world affairs has undergone significant changes unparalleled since the end of World War II. The 1990s have witnessed neither a new "World Order" nor the "End of History." The new world could rather be characterized as one in which we can find a juxtaposition of order and disorder. It is against this backdrop that this book addresses the future of strategic studies, considering the following four areas: the analysis of the possibilities and opportunities of enlarging the Western zone of co-operatively organized international affairs by including others; the analysis of regional security problems and dynamics; the research into new challenges to security; and an analysis of future instruments and dimensions of security policy.

The book contains contributions by young and promising scholars who are working mostly in the fields of security studies and international relations. Taken together, these contributions provide a good overview of contemporary issues and challenges in the field of security and defense issues and they give excellent examples of where strategic studies should aim. ...

Difficult but interesting read
More poorly edited than poorly written, this is a detailed and extremely factual read. I was suprised that the publisher, Krause, did such a slack job at editing - they had a better reputation at one time. Readability aside, Peters & King is a library keeper for those interested in American history, especially ammunition history. Chuck Klein, Author of: Instinct Combat Shooting: Defensive Handgunning For Police

Well Researched and Fascinating Book
Excellent read. This is a well researched and fascinating book, I found most interesting the precautions used to prevent explosions. King Powder utilized different materials that minimized sparking by using cars with four-wheels made of brass riding on iron rails pulled by a mule or horse with bronze shoes secured with copper nails. Workers could not wear shoes made with nails and were fired if caught with matches or smoking. Some of the explosions were massive and one caused 3000 windows to break. They had to go recruit workers from outside the area. This book is a tribute to the many people that were pioneers of an industry which makes this country secure today. I also like the pictures of old ads and shells in the back of the book. I highly recommend reading this book. ... Read more

Product Description
In the 6th edition of Landolt-Börnstein, the field of oceanography was incorporated into the volume on "Astronomy and Geophysics" (1952) and covered 116 pages. Since that time, the tremendous increase of knowledge and the growing significance of oceanography called for a new compilation which appears as Volume V/3 of the New Series. The topics dealt with in this volume belong to physical oceanography, a part of geophysics and physics. Two chapters on "Topography" and "Coastal Oceanography" represent peripheral areas, since they are more geographically oriented. On the other hand, they are very pertinent to the physics of the ocean. Due to the large amount of information covered, Volume V/3 is divided into three subvolumes with a total of some 1200 pages. Subvolumes a and c have already appeared. Subvolume a deals with the topography of the oceans, measuring techniques and instruments and the properties of sea water. Subvolume c contains chapters on ocean waves, upwelling regions, ice in the ocean and coastal oceanography. The present subvolume b covers the ocean circulation and the ocean turbulence. ... Read more
