Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Demand for water in agricultural, municipal, industrial, and
environmental uses is growing. More frequent and severe extreme
weather conditions now exacerbate water shortages in many locations
and existing infrastructure to store and release water rarely has
the capacity to both prevent floods during wet periods and meet
demand during drought periods. Competition among sectors adds
pressure not only on water infrastructure, but also on management
policies and allocation institutions. This book of contributed
chapters assesses the performance of existing infrastructure,
institutions and policies under different climate variability
scenarios. It also provides suggestions for minimizing conflict
over scarce water resources. More flexible water-allocation
institutions and management policies, and better tools for
decision-making under uncertainty will be required to maximize
society's net benefit from less reliable water resources. The
chapters show how incentives for individuals to conserve water, and
policies for helping vulnerable populations prepare for and recover
from extreme events, will also need to be improved. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Natural
Resources Policy Research.

A rigorous analysis of the implications of leadership being seen
literally or metaphorically as a performance. The book introduces a
framework which examines the performance of leadership through the
dimensions of enactment, narrative and audience, focusing
throughout on the ways in which managers can apply these ideas in
their own leadership.

The book presents a novel theory of how networks of organizations
work, what varieties are possible, and how their strengths and
weaknesses differ. The argument is illustrated using four case
studies in which networks of firms and organizations in defense
contracting, biotechnology, health care, and combating crime and
disorder are examined. The book will be of major interest to
scholars and students of business and management, public
management, public policy, and organizational sociology and
practicing managers as well.

Beyond Delivery sets out a critique of the mechanical ways in which
some policy makers seek to exercise governance over the
implementation of their policies. It offers a timely critique of
the current British government's approach.
DESTINY is about two different cultures it deals with love, loss
and fate and is a young adult romance novel that will appeal to
everyone: fantasy readers, hopeless romantics as well as those who
enjoy a good story and a happy ending. I urge my readers to read
it. The story is set during the summer of 1989 on an exotic
location in the Caribbean. It reveals the great emotional love
story of a young woman, Sheena growing up in a protected family,
who never thought that her life would change until she met dashing
Jonathan Samson the male character a wealthy rich young man who
shapes her dreams and captures her heart. Their brief but
passionate love story is slowly threatened by their family's
violent history that no-one knows why or when it all started.
Sheena realizes that she has to be strong within herself, rely upon
her own strengths and fight for everything that is good and
important to her, and to those who she loves. I hope I have created
strong characters that my readers will form a bond with, and they
would want them to be happy and to succeed, and that they would
want to know how the story unfolds. I hope that when they pick the
book up, they are intrigued to learn about these characters, and
each event; they are a part of by reading about it. They are
encouraged to keep reading and keep learning to know what will
happen next. I hope they will feel as though they know Sheena and
Jalissa and Datilda, and all the other important characters within
the book and that this story has made them feel as though they have
been a part of these people's lives.
Donovan Research Library and the US Armor Research Library are now
part of the Maneuver Center of Excellence Libraries Virtual Library
program. For the past few years, both libraries have processed
large parts of their historical collections of student papers, post
newspapers, documents, yearbooks, and other materials to be
digitized. The collections represent the intellectual talent of
research and education that soldiers receive from the faculty,
historians, and staff of the US Army Infantry School and US Army
Armor School and its divisions. This collection contains personal
experience papers and monographs describing combat operations,
campaigns, and battle tactics from various wars and years in US
History, including World War I, the Korean War, and Vietnam War.
Some titles in this collection include: Operations of the 108th
Infantry, 27th Division, in the British Offensive Towards Maubeuge,
Mobile Riverine Force, and "The Training, Infiltration, and
Operations or a North Vietnamese Soldier. This paper is part of
this Infantry School Papers collection.

Allen Peck's WW I Letters Home tell of his patriotic volunteer
service for the brand-new U.S. Army Air Service to fight for his
country. Allen's American group was sent to France to be trained by
and to fly with a French escadrille. The airplanes were small,
flimsy, and slow, with open cockpits and no heat, and also no
oxygen masks. For young pilots these were exciting, challenging,
and for some, fatal months. Allen survived plane crashes, enemy
planes shooting bullets through his cockpit, and enemy ground fire.
A Croix de Guerre was earned for downing a German. But the trauma
was great. After Armistice, he wrote of the tragic toll on his
'original gang', Twelve of us reached the front, seven gone, three
wounded, one unheard from, and I was untouched. After November 11,
his letters tell of experiences at a French university, of
adventures at the American Embassy in London, and of helping with
Inter-Allied Games. He fell in love with and married a young French
girl. When his two-year enlistment was up, Allen chose at first to
stay in Paris. But, after five months, he headed back home to
America with his new wife, Marguerite.
