You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple. Bottom line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. . This book outlines some of these logistical components and their doctrinal relationship to the operation, as well as provides some new ideas. . The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute the logistical function or capability as it relates to the operation. . The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics and their conception to improve the general knowledge and understanding on "why it happens," and "how we can improve the outcome."

Charles Horton Cooley's account of human beings, their behavior, and how they organize themselves has been praised for its originality, and remains an underappreciated and much-cited classic of sociology. Human Nature and the Social Order is a logically composed book which straddles and to a degree transcends the boundaries between philosophy, psychology and sociology. Cooley wished to clarify the behavior of human beings, how they come to interact and socialize with one another, and how they arrive at a definition of themselves that is in harmony with their own well-being and that of others. Later in the book, Cooley discusses qualities which have been promoted or felt as necessary for humans in civilized society. Good, conscientious and beneficent leadership, the possession of a moral compass and conscience, and the excellent values of freedom receive their own discussions with positive and negative elements comprising the well-rounded analyses.

Homi Bhabha: An Introduction and Critique is a pathbreaking three-volume study of the famous postcolonial scholar's work. McLaverty-Robinson's treatment translates Bhabha's almost impenetrable prose into plain English, without losing its meaning. It also explains the backgrounf assumptions and references lurking behind Bhabha's theoretical concepts. In addition, McLaverty-Robinson's incisive critique cuts through the aura surrounding critical theory, exploring whether Bhabha's ideas work in practice - either empirically or politically. This first volume explores Bhabha's views on philosophy and culture. It includes chapters explaining his social constructivist assumptions, and exploring his interpretations of art and literature.

This classic of Christian autobiography John Bunyan is timeless in its wisdom, wherein the author wrestles with his convictions of belief in the divine. For centuries a leading source on the Puritanical movement and its adherents, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners remains a regularly consulted text by theologians, religious historians and the general reader. The title itself is a composite reference to two famous Biblical passages: Romans 5:20 and Timothy 1:15. As well as discussing the process through which he found his Christian faith, Bunyan is forthright about the personal struggles he had with belief. Hardship was a reality for Bunyan, who drafted this book while incarcerated for preaching without a proper license. For Bunyan the possibility of salvation by the Lord was a constant preoccupation, and a motivation for authoring multiple works on faith and leading the life he led.

When we look at the education in the United States today, we find that the educational prowess and dominance has greatly eroded. Many countries that we call third world countries consistently beat our students in math, history, social studies, and science. These countries have different morals and understanding of life than we, but these things are not taught in their schools. They are taught where they ought to be. There are rules and regulations in the various countries that some in our country would like to adopt here, but that is why we are not known as a third world country. We have that thing called freedom and rights that those countries don't have. Some of the courts have told us to take God out of the school, the pledge, and out of our state governments. Our forefathers gave to us this method of understanding our history, and we must understand that our forefathers mostly believed in God, also that the very reason many people came to our lands in the beginning is to have freedom of religion and not freedom from religion. This is just one way the courts are trying to change our lives. This book will explore many reasons why teachers are unable to get the job done and why students aren't in the top ten of the world's knowledge pool. We need to think on these things before it is too late

Drivers exiting the New Jersey Turnpike for Perth Amboy, and map readers marveling at all the places in Pennsylvania named Lackawanna, need no longer wonder how these names originated. "Manhattan to Minisink "provides the histories of more than five hundred place names in the Greater New York area, including the five boroughs, western Long Island, the New York counties north of the city, and parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Robert S. Grumet, a leading ethnohistorian specializing in the region's Indian peoples, draws on his meticulous research and deep knowledge to determine the origins of Native, and Native-sounding, place names.

Grumet divides his encyclopedic entries into two parts. The first comprises an alphabetical listing of nearly 340 Indian place names preserved in colonial records, located by county and state. Each entry includes the name's language of origin, if known, and a brief discussion of its etymology, including its earliest known occurrence in written records, the history of its appearance on maps, and the name's current status.

The book's second section presents nearly 200 place names that, though widely believed to be of Indian origin, are "imports, inventions, invocations, or impostors." Mistranslations are abundant in place names, and Grumet has ferreted out the mistakes and deceptions among home-grown colonial etymologies that New Yorkers have accepted for centuries.

Complete with a concise history of Greater New York, a discussion of the region's naming practices, a useful timeline, and four maps, this is an invaluable resource both for scholars and for readers who want a more intimate knowledge of the place where they live or visit.
