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."
This book is a guide for Logistician's (civilian or military) in
the execution of support to Disaster Relief efforts. . Provides a
foundation to plan and coordinate at the federal, state, and local
government agencies as they develop and implement their support
operations plans and execution. . Presents information for staff
management that incorporates manual and automated procedures to
monitor and track movement and commodities throughout the disaster
area. . Provides new ideas and concepts that can be utilized as a
planning guide to assist civilian and military leaders in support
of Disaster Relief Operation's. Due to the uniqueness of the
mission and technology, this book may be guided towards a rather
select audience. But since this topic impacts a majority of the
population, it is important to understand that at all levels, the
ability to plan, coordinate, and execute is required for an
operation of this magnitude to be successful. The work is not an
account of the relief operations conducted in past areas, but the
basis for ideas and concepts to support future planning,
coordination, and development of Logistical Disaster Relief Support
Operations in the future.
This book demonstrates that there is much about the New Deal that
can be characterized as environmental, once one substitutes the
word "environmental" for "conservation." Indeed, the scholarship
that is contained within this extraordinary book will help correct
the widely held view that the New Deal is virtually a blank space
in the history of modern environmentalism. In fact, the New Deal
carried forward and greatly extended the work of the Progressive
Conservation Era, and in many ways helped establish the foundation
for the modern environmental movement.
As I get older and reflect back on my time on this earth, it is
humorous in some respect that I seem to remember the good times.
Moreover, in my case I tend to remember the funny things of even a
bad situation. It's like your subconscious blocks out the bad
things only letting you remember the pleasant circumstances of even
an awful situation. Whatever makes this occurrence happen, in my
case I think it is good in that it has provided me with a library
of hilarious stories. A good story is like a fine bottle of wine
and the key is the aging process. In the case of a story the more
aging time the more embellished, embroidered, and simply blown way
out of proportion the story becomes, and in my opinion, that is
what makes a funny story a hilarious one. Therefore, I have
propagated this theory throughout this book. . With all this in
mind, I have tried to offer in the following stories the right
amount of embellishment that will provide the reader with just
enough body to paint the picture, but not too much to bog down the
reader to boredom. Now I understand that what is humorous to one
person may not be the same to another, but it is obvious to me that
just the normal day-to-day events can sometimes be the funniest,
and if the person can relate to these events within their own
experience then in turn they are really laughing at themselves
through someone else's eyes. Therefore, with that idea in mind, I
am only asking that you sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories,
with one different twist, and that is to laugh at me.
A practical and hopeful examination of how colleges and
universities can create the best possible experience for students
and faculty. There are few higher education leaders today that
command more national respect and admiration than Freeman A.
Hrabowski III, the outspoken president of the University of
Maryland, Baltimore County. Named one of America's Best Leaders by
US News & World Report and one of Time's 100 Most Influential
People in the World, Hrabowski has led a community transformation
of UMBC from a young, regional institution to one of the nation's
most innovative research universities. In The Empowered University,
Hrabowski and coauthors Philip J. Rous and Peter H. Henderson probe
the way senior leaders, administrators, staff, faculty, and
students facilitate academic success by cultivating an empowering
institutional culture and broad leadership for innovation. They
examine how shared leadership enables an empowered campus to tackle
tough issues by taking a hard look in the mirror, noting strengths
and weaknesses while assessing opportunities and challenges. The
authors dig deeply into these tough issues in higher education
ranging from course redesign to group-based and experiential
learning, entrepreneurship and civic engagement, academic
inclusion, and faculty diversity. The authors champion a holistic
approach to student success, focusing on teaching and learning
while offering an array of financial, social, and academic supports
for students of all backgrounds. Throughout the book, the authors
emphasize the important role of analytics in decision-making. They
also explore how community members and senior leaders can work
together to create an inclusive campus through a more welcoming and
supportive racial climate, improved Title IX processes, and career
support for faculty of all backgrounds. Ultimately, The Empowered
University is as much a case study of the authors' work as it is an
examination of institutional change, inclusive excellence, and
campus-community partnerships. Arguing that higher education can
play a unique role in addressing the fundamental divisions in our
society and economy by supporting individuals in reaching their
full potential, the authors have developed a provocative guide for
higher education leaders who want to promote healthy and productive
campus communities.
Reexamines the immense documentation still extant for the Congress,
and judiciously evaluates the Congress's accomplishments and points
out its frailties. The book's most distinctive feature is its focus
on congressional politics and factions. The author examines the
voting patterns and personal and geographical divisions existing in
the Continental Congress, uncovering all the elements of a
concealed party system taking form as early as 1774. Originally
published by McGraw-Hill in 1974.
