Ultra-Wideband Surveillance Radar is an emerging technology for
detecting and characterizing targets and cultural features for
military and geosciences applications. To characterize objects near
and under severe clutter, it is necessary to have fine range and
cross range resolution. The resultant wide bandwidth classifies the
systems as ultra-wideband, requiring special treatment in system
technology and frequency allocation. This book explores several UWB
surveillance radar prototypes, including Hostile Weapons Locator
System (HOWLS), Multibeam Modular Surveillance Radar (MMSR), and
geoscience synthetic aperture radar (GeoSAR). These prototype
radars illustrated the early development of multi-mode capabilities
leading to modern radar systems. Based on the results of these
prototypes and recent radar technology publications a novel
multi-mode, multi-channel radar is presented and analysed. The book
begins with a history of airborne surveillance radar, then goes on
to provide systematic and detailed coverage of the following topics
and technologies: surveillance radar detection; surveillance radar
modes; UWB antennas; ultra-Wideband SAR processing; interferometric
radar modes; UWB ground moving target detection; UWB spectrum
compliance; and UWB multimode operation. The first book to cover
these new capabilities, this is an important reference for radar
engineers, especially those working in geosciences and military
applications. It is also relevant to academic and advanced
engineering researchers developing new radar technologies and
algorithms for image processing, as well as the advanced
electromagnetics research community.

For 400 years the KJV has stood the test. While the Bible and
prayer have been removed from the schools, Satan is no dummy: he is
bringing in these new sound good Bibles, slowly removing the king
James Bibles, because he knows if he tries to change them, many
would recognize his work. We are not to change the Bible to fit our
lives, but change our lives to fit the Bible. We do not believe in
God to be saved, we believe in God because we are saved, Ephesians
2: 8-9.

The United States is winning the war on terror, most days. We will
continue to do so, until the day we declare victory, or turn the
battle over to the governments of the countries hosting these wars.
It is uncertain what will happen after that. There is a good chance
that terror will resurface sometime, and that battle may again take
place in our own backyard. The future enemy may well have better
resources and advanced weapons. North Korea is testing missles that
could reach our shores. Nuclear weapons will likely spread to many
nations in the not too distant future. This story suggests what
might happen to some of our grandchildren, if that battle is fought
in 2049. Will Jennifer Burton and Brad Hoolihan claim victory, or
will it require something more, to bring lasting peace to a war
torn world?
This is the first major biography of one of America's premier
environmentalists. No one did more than Marjory Stoneman Douglas to
transform the Everglades from the country's most maligned swamp
into its most beloved wetland. By the late twentieth century, her
name and her classic ""The Everglades: River of Grass"" had become
synonymous with Everglades protection. The crusading resolve and
boundless energy of this implacable elder won the hearts of an
admiring public while confounding her opponents - growth merchants
intent on having their way with the Everglades. Douglas' efforts
ultimately earned her a place among a mere handful of individuals
honored as a namesake of a national wilderness area.In the first
comprehensive biography of Douglas, Jack E. Davis explores the
108-year life of this compelling woman. Douglas was more than an
environmental activist. She was a suffragist, a lifetime feminist
and supporter of the ERA, a champion of social justice, and an
author of diverse literary talent. She came of age literally and
professionally during the American environmental century, the
century in which Americans mobilized an unprecedented popular
movement to counter the equally unprecedented liberties they had
taken in exploiting, polluting, and destroying the natural
world.The Everglades were a living barometer of America's often
tentative shift toward greater environmental responsibility.
Reconstructing this larger picture, Davis recounts the shifts in
Douglas' own life and her instrumental role in four important
developments that contributed to Everglades protection: the making
of a positive wetland image, the creation of a national park, the
expanding influence of ecological science, and the rise of the
modern environmental movement. In the grand but beleaguered
Everglades, which Douglas came to understand is a vast natural
system that supports human life, she saw nature's providence.

The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has evolved
greatly since Asperger's day. And as our clinical understanding of
this spectrum of disorders has grown, so has recognition of the
connections between anxiety disorders and ASD a welcome
development, but also a source of confusion for many in the
field.
The "Handbook of Autism and Anxiety" brings together leading
experts to explain this comorbidity, the diagnostic similarities
and differences between the two disorders and the extent to which
treatment for each can be coordinated for optimum results. Focusing
on repetitive behaviors, social difficulties and fears as core
components of anxiety disorders as well as ASD, contributors
discuss specific symptoms in depth to aid in diagnosis. Assessment
and treatment issues relevant to the autism-anxiety connection are
considered in clinical and school contexts. And an especially
timely conclusion details how key changes in the "DSM-5 "affect the
diagnosis and conceptualization of each disorder.
Key topics addressed in the "Handbook "include: Phenotypic
variability in ASD: clinical considerations.Etiologic factors and
transdiagnostic processes.Social worries and difficulties: autism
and/or social anxiety disorder?Implementing group CBT interventions
for youth with ASD and anxiety in clinical practice.Autism and
anxiety in school settings."DSM"-"5" and autism spectrum
disorder.
The "Handbook of Autism and Anxiety" is an essential resource
for researchers, clinicians/professionals and graduate students in
child and school psychology, psychiatry, social work, education,
clinical counseling and behavioral therapy."

This volume explores the processes by which hazardous waste
policies are formulated and implemented. A collection of papers by
distinguished scholars in the field, this is the first treatment of
the subject to address both the international and the domestic
policy arenas. Also the most current discussion of the topic
available, the book includes several articles which deal with the
landmark 1984 amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act. An important adjunct to courses in environmental politics,
public policy, and intergovernmental relations, this book sheds new
light on the complex political process by which hazardous waste
politics are developed, enacted into law, enforced, and
reassessed.
Over the past decade the notion of sustainability has emerged as a
precept that has been applied to government, commerce, the
environment and technology. This volume will discuss how
sustainability is reflected in economics, political science and
geography through the lens of socio-economic change and
globalization through theoretical and real world perspectives.
Using the Costa Rican Cloud Forest community of Monteverde readers
will be able to understand how the notion of sustainability has
been applied in a community context whose experiences have global
implications.
Rethinking the Romance Genre examines why the romance has proven
such an irresistible form for contemporary writers and filmmakers
approaching global issues. Through a series of close readings
informed by historical context and transnational reception, Emily
S. Davis demonstrates that the generic instability of the romance
makes it an especially malleable tool for representing fluid
political, sexual, and racial identities and coalitions in an era
of flexible global capitalism. In contemporary texts ranging from
literary works to films to social media, romance facilitates a
range of intimacies that offer new feminist models for
understanding affinity and solidarity in the age of globalization.
The bald eagle is regal but fearless, a bird you're not inclined to
argue with. For centuries, Americans have celebrated it as
"majestic" and "noble" yet savaged the living bird behind their
national symbol as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely,
a snatcher of babies. Taking us from before the United States'
founding through inconceivable resurgences of this enduring
all-American species, Jack E. Davis contrasts the age when native
peoples lived beside it peacefully with that when others, whether
through hunting bounties or DDT pesticides, twice pushed Haliaeetus
leucocephalus to the brink of extinction. Filled with spectacular
stories of Founding Fathers, rapacious hunters, heroic bird
rescuers and the lives of bald eagles themselves-monogamous
creatures, considered among the animal world's finest parents-The
Bald Eagle is a much-awaited cultural and natural history that
demonstrates how this bird's wondrous journey may provide
inspiration today, as we grapple with environmental peril on a
larger scale.
