This book provides a rich analysis of the discourses and
figurations of "crisis masculinity" around the turn of the
twenty-first century, working at the intersection of performance
and cultural studies and looking at film, television, drama,
performance art, visual art and street theatre.
This book explores the challenges leaders in intelligence
communities face in an increasingly complex security environment
and how to develop future leaders to deal with these issues. As the
security and policy-making environment becomes increasingly
complicated for decision-makers, the focus on intelligence agencies
'to deliver' more value will increase. This book is the first
extensive exploration of contemporary leadership in the context of
intelligence agencies, principally in the 'Five Eyes' nations (i.e.
Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand).
It provides a grounded theoretical approach to building
practitioner and researcher understanding of what individual and
organisational factors result in better leadership. Using
interviews from former senior intelligence leaders and a survey of
208 current and former intelligence leaders, the work explores the
key challenges that leaders will likely face in the twenty-first
century and how to address these. It also explores what principles
are most likely to be important in developing future leaders of
intelligence agencies in the future. This book will be of much
interest to students of intelligence studies, strategic studies,
leadership studies, security studies, and international relations.
This volume examines the ethical issues that arise as a result of
national security intelligence collection and analysis. Powerful
new technologies enable the collection, communication and analysis
of national security data on an unprecedented scale. Data
collection now plays a central role in intelligence practice, yet
this development raises a host of ethical and national security
problems, such as privacy; autonomy; threats to national security
and democracy by foreign states; and accountability for liberal
democracies. This volume provides a comprehensive set of in-depth
ethical analyses of these problems by combining contributions from
both ethics scholars and intelligence practitioners. It provides
the reader with a practical understanding of relevant operations,
the issues that they raise and analysis of how responses to these
issues can be informed by a commitment to liberal democratic
values. This combination of perspectives is crucial in providing an
informed appreciation of ethical challenges that is also grounded
in the realities of the practice of intelligence. This book will be
of great interest to all students of intelligence studies, ethics,
security studies, foreign policy and international relations. The

William Walsh and Gennaro Vito have adapted the strategic
management process to the police organizational world in this
innovative new text, Police Leadership and Administration: A
21st-Century Approach. Focusing principally on the police
executive, this book covers pioneering management techniques for
leaders facing the challenges of today's complex environment,
providing the police practitioner instruction in planning, setting
direction, developing strategy, assessing internal and external
environments, creating learning organizations, and managing and
evaluating the change process. It also tackles how to handle the
political, economic, social, and technical considerations that
differ from one community to the next. Police Leadership and
Administration trains individuals to search for solutions, rather
than relying on old formulas and scientific management principles.
It shows how to tailor responses to the unique problems and issues
that professionals are likely to face in the field of law
enforcement, providing a foundation with which to adapt to an
ever-changing criminal justice climate. This book is essential for
forward-thinking police leadership courses in colleges and
professional training programs.

This book explores how potential bio-threats and risks may evolve
post 9/11 given the rapid changes in biotechnology and synthetic
biology. It also explores what role intelligence communities can
play in understanding threats and risks. It argues that although
bio-threats and risks are largely low probability and high impact
in nature, intelligence in 'Five Eyes' countries remain
insufficiently prepared to understand them. This book identifies
key areas where intelligence reforms need to take place including a
more strategic and systematic collaboration between national
security/law enforcement intelligence and the scientific community.
It is aimed at intelligence analysts, those in the scientific
community working on health security threats, policy makers and
researchers working on biosecurity and bioterrorism threats and
risks.
The story of the Revolutionary War in the Northern colonies is well
known but the war that raged across the South in
1780-1781-considered by some the "unknown Revolution"-included some
of the most important yet least studied engagements. Drawing
extensively on their letters, this book follows the campaigns of
General Nathanael Greene and Lord Charles Cornwallis as they fought
across the Carolinas, offers a compelling look at their leadership.
The theater of war the two commanders entered in 1870 was populated
by various ethnic and religious groups and separated
geographically, economically and politically into the low country
and the mountainous backcountry, Setting the stage for what was to
come.
Omnis cellula e cellula, "every cell from a cell," was dogma to the
19th century cellular physiologist and the cornerstone of Virchow's
Cellular pathologie. "Spread out a cell into a layer and you will
find that, in ceasing to be a cell, it has ceased to act as such,"
wrote the British 1 physiologist G . R. Lewes more than a century
age. "The cell remains vital as long as its wall remains intact . .
. " keeping its content "pure and clear" and thus preserving the
"vital principle" within, echoed Claude 2 Bernard a few years
later. The notion of the cell membrane as a pro tecting envelope
held sway until it became clear that it could not account for the
"coalescence" of poorly differentiated embryonic "vesicles" and for
their transformation into "cell-like structures" capable of auto
regulation and yet subject to what the grandfather of one of us
defined as the "federal obligations imposed by the whole organism.,
3 A new concept was needed, and soon the membrane was described as
a structure capable of uniting as well as separating adjacent
cells. Morphologic evidence for this dual function was obtained
several years later when the electron microscope revealed the
existence of tight and gap junc tions which, acting as
intercellular bonds and channels, allowed the cells to communicate
with one another and thus coordinate their biologic activities."

When a long time city resident relocated to the back acres of Union
Township in rural Marshal County, Indiana, he found rustic roads to
walk; farmers to meet; their animals, farm and feral; town folk to
greet; places to eat; old timers to talk; war stories to relive; a
commode's drain field to flush; a weekly to read; politicians to
forget; funerals to weep; a despairing golf game; vocal ill elderly
in nursing homes; a church choir to impress. Ah, Rural life There
isn't it's like in the city.
SOLDIERS IN COMBAT DUG FOR THEIR LIVES. IT WAS IRONIC THAT ALL
FOREIGNERS ON KOREA'S HILLS WERE MODIFYING NATURE BY DIGGING PITS
FOR WAR, BUT DOWN OVER THE CENTURIES THE KOREAN'S HAD LEFT NATURE
ON THE HILLS MOSTLY ALONE. MEN AT WAR BUILT. MEN AT PEACE FARMED.
MEN AT WAR DESTROYED. MEN AT PEACE REBUILT. THE GUNNER'S HANDS
DROVE THE TRIPOD'S JAMMING HANDLES FREE, THE HEAVY MACHINE GUN AND
CRADLE DROPPING TO A LOW PROFILE. HE JAMMED TIGHT THE HANDLES ONCE
MORE, THEN PULLED THE GUN AND TRIPOD TO NEW COVER, TAKING TO THE
EARTH DOWN IN THE SOIL LIKE A MOLE. HE SIGHTED, FIRED A BURST AND
FOLLOWED THE TRACER LINE. HE ADJUSTED BY TRACER. THE MEDIC WORKED
WOUNDED ON AN OUTPOST OF THE DEAD. A MORTAL SILENCE HAD FALLEN.
BONE AND SINEW WERE DIVIDED IN TWO, BODIES BLEEDING BENEATH THE
GRIM DUST OF BATTLE THAT SHADED GRISTLY REMAINS FROM THE BURNING
SUN. HOW MANY CRUSHED AND TORN ENEMY WERE SEVERED FOREVER FROM
THEIR FIVE SENSES? HE FELT IT WAS MADNESS TO FIGHT FOR CHOICE
HUMPTY BACKS TO SHOOT FROM TO KILL ONE ANOTHER. THERE WAS NO END.
ACROSS THE NEXT VALLEY ROSE A CHAIN OF OTHER PEAKS CLEAR THROUGH
NORTH KOREA AND INTO MANCHURIA. WAS THE WELL BEING OF THE EIGHT
ARMY MORE ASSURED ON ANY ONE HIGH PEAK AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER? WHAT
MADNESS MUST OCCUPY THE MINDS OF THOSE WHO TALK A TRUCE RESTING ON
ONE PEAK AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER THE POWER OF INFANTRYMEN WAS BASED
ON HUMAN RATHER THAN PLANNER'S POWER. FRONT LINE MEN HAD LEARNED TO
FIGHT DOWN FRIGHT, ALTHOUGH THEY ALWAYS HAD FEAR. THEIR CONFIDENCE
IN THEMSELVES DEPENDED UPON THEIR SKILLS WITH THEIR WEAPONS, FAITH
IN THEIR SQUAD LEADERS, TRUST IN THEIR SQUAD MEMBERS, ASSURED EACH
WOULD BACK THE OTHER. SQUAD DISCIPLINE DIDN'T IMPLY AN UNTHINKING
OBEDIENCE; IT IMPLIED INITIATIVE AND SKILL RELENTLESSLY PRESERVED
FOR THE SQUAD'S OBJECTIVE. IT MEANT OVER RULING INSTINCT, AND
MINIMIZING REFLECTION ON THE STALLED TRUCE TALKS. IN LATE NOVEMBER
THE FREEZE WAS MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST, WITH WINDS FROM THE
NORTHWEST AT TWENTY-FIVE KNOTS PER HOUR WITH GUSTS UP TO FORTY
KNOTS. IT WOULD FREEZE THE RIVER THAT THE EIGHT ARMY OR CHINESE
COMMUNIST FORCES MIGHT WALK ON WATER.
There are nine (9) psychological case studies of real people
dealing with depression in this 37-page booklet. Each one shows how
unique the consequences of this debilitating condition can be on
one's life. The author of these studies, John F. Walsh, M.S. (1937
- 2012), spent the better part of his life - 45 years - working as
a crisis intervention mental health professional within various
mental health hospitals. Jack had a special knack for figuring out
what was wrong and helping people deal with their circumstances.
The final write-up in this collection of case studies lays out his
ideas for how you can best help your friend or loved one. Don't get
so wrapped up in their problems that you neglect taking care of
yourself.
