This book examines the multiple strategies proposed by the
international community for addressing global climate change (GCC)
from both human and state-security perspectives. It examines what
is needed from major states working within the UN framework to
engage with the multiple dimensions of a strategy that addresses
GCC and its impacts, where such engagement promotes both human and
state security. Two broad frameworks for approaching these issues
provide the basis of discussion for the individual chapters, which
discuss the strategies being undertaken by major state powers (the
US, the EU, China, India, Japan, and Russia). The first framework
considers the multiple strategies, mitigation, adaptation, and
capacity-building required of the international community to
address the effects of GCC. The second framework considers the
differentiation of GCC policies in terms of security and how the
efficacy of these strategies could be impacted by whether priority
is given to state security over human security concerns. This book
will be of much interest to students of human security, climate
change, foreign policy, and International Relations.

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was performed utilizing clean seed
particles generated by injecting liquid carbon dioxide (CO2)
directly into an open-circuit blowdown Mach 2.9 supersonic wind
tunnel. Rapid atomization and cooling of the liquid CO2 created a
preponderance of nearly uniform and well dispersed microscopic dry
ice particles which were illuminated using a frequency double Nd:
YAG laser. Ample light was scattered from the flow tracers, which
provided a strong signal to noise ratio. The particles completely
sublimed into an innocuous gas downstream of the test section
causing no side effects or problems with wind tunnel operation. A
variety of geometries were inspected using PIV. In addition to
empty test section characterization, flow aft of a cone and
transverse injection through a long shallow cavity was visualized
and adaptive cross-correlation vector maps were computed. These
vector maps revealed many relevant flow structures pertinent to
each test setup. Measured velocities followed the trends expected
for each test setup but the vector magnitudes were shifted 3-9%
below those predicted by theory. Procedures and information
pertinent to liquid CO2 injection are provided to help researchers
implement this process in similarly scaled supersonic wind tunnels.
$1 Donation to Cancer Research for Every Book Sold After the
passing of our father's death we needed to fulfill a promise to
him. That promise was to share my dad's knowledge of tracking
Bigfoot. It was our father's dying wish to publish his book called
Tracking Bigfoot. Our father Donald Lee Wallace was man who lived
in the North Cascade Mt. for the past 30 years. He tracked Bigfoot
for the past 28 years. He lived off the land and appreciated each
day God gave him. My father battled cancer for many years. I
believe that due to the years of living in the Mt. and a trapper
before that made him an expert when it came to reading the woods. I
remember walking down the trail with our dad to go fishing and he
would point out different tracks by the animals that live in the
woods. My dad fishing would be putting on his waiter boots and
stand out in the roaring river. The beauty that surrounded us. The
sense of relaxation. I knew why he was a Mt. Man. He didn't have to
deal with the city stress instead he could enjoy the relaxation of
the mountains.
