An examination of the lifecycle of soldiers, including enlistment,
experiences of military life, the soldier's place in society and in
politics, and military identity, memory and representation. This
book surveys and examines the history of Britain's soldiers from
the eighteenth to the twentieth century. It focuses on the
lifecycle of a soldier, including enlistment and experience, and on
identity, representations and place in society. It covers the
diverse military forces of the British crown - the regular army,
home defence forces, part-time soldiers, auxiliaries, officers,
non-commissioned officers and rank and file - across times of
conflictand peace and their wider relationship to families,
communities, government and society. Additionally, it considers
both British troops, and, recognising Britain's soldiers as a
transnational phenomenon, forces raised outside ofBritain and
Ireland. By assessing the evolution of Britain's soldiers across
three centuries, the book highlights continuity and change and
gauges how far the basic fundamentals, principles and priorities of
army life have endured or been transformed during the existence of
a continual standing army. The book includes up-to-date research
from a new generation of early-career researchers and reflections
from established scholars. CONTRIBUTORS: Ian Beckett, Timothy
Bowman, Gavin Daly, Peter Doyle, Edward Gosling, George Hay, Kevin
Linch, Matthew Lord, Eleanor O'Keeffe, Adam Prime, Michael Reeve,
Jacqueline Reiter, Robert Tildesley, and Christina Welsch.
There is no shortage of books on behavioral research, on behavioral
research on alcoholism, or on behavioral research on alcoholism
treatment. Most of the authors of chapters in this book have been
involved in the writing of these books. The books and their authors
have played an important role in the dramatic increase in the
influence of behavioral approaches to one of our society's most
troubling human problems. There are not many books, though, which
detail the longitudinal course of the behavioral therapies, none
doing so for behavior therapy with al coholics and problem
drinkers. That this book now appears, then, is a first, made more
valuable by the fact that the chapter's authors are both research
ers and clinicians, willing and able to combine respect for
empirical data with clinical sensitivity and compassion, concern,
and commitment for their patients. The chapters in this book reveal
important commonalities and telling divergencies in technique,
strategy, and treatment tactics. Despite a common perspective on
etiology and treatment, the authors of the chapters in this book
diverge in criteria for deciding on treatment goal, choice of
initial intervention target, the specifics of techniques used, and
follow-up proce dures. Common to all, though, is an openness to
innovation, a pragmatic appreciation of approaches that work, and a
sincere respect for the patient and his or her fundamental desire
for a healthy, happier, and more produc tive life.
"While Nokia is perhaps most recognized for its leadership in the
mobile phone market, they have successfully demonstrated their
knowledge of the Internet security appliance market and its
customers requirements."
--Chris Christiansen, Vice President, Internet Infrastructure and
Security Software, IDC.
Syngress has a long history of publishing market-leading books for
system administrators and security professionals on commercial
security products, particularly Firewall and Virtual Private
Network (VPN) appliances from Cisco, Check Point, Juniper,
SonicWall, and Nokia (see related titles for sales histories). The
Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide will be the only
book on the market covering the all-new Nokia Firewall/VPN
Appliance suite. Nokia Firewall/VPN appliances are designed to
protect and extend the network perimeter.
According to IDC research, Nokia Firewall/VPN Appliances hold the
#3 worldwide market-share position in this space behind Cisco and
Juniper/NetScreen. IDC estimated the total Firewall/VPN market at
$6 billion in 2007, and Nokia owns 6.6% of this market. Nokia's
primary customers for security appliances are Mid-size to Large
enterprises who need site-to-site connectivity and Mid-size to
Large enterprises who need remote access connectivity through
enterprise-deployed mobile devices. Nokia appliances for this
market are priced form $1,000 for the simplest devices (Nokia IP60)
up to $60,0000 for large enterprise- and service-provider class
devices (like the Nokia IP2450 released in Q4 2007). While the
feature set of such a broad product range obviously varies greatly,
all of the appliances run on the same operating system: Nokia IPSO
(IPSO refers to Ipsilon Networks, a company specializing in IP
switching acquired by Nokia in 1997. The definition of the acronym
has little to no meaning for customers.) As a result of this common
operating system across the product line, The Nokia Firewall, VPN,
and IPSO Configuration Guide will be an essential reference to
users of any of these products. Users manage the Nokia IPSO (which
is a Linux variant, specifically designed for these appliances)
through a Web interface called Nokia Network Voyager or via a
powerful Command Line Interface (CLI). Coverage within the book
becomes increasingly complex relative to the product line.
The Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide and companion
Web site will provide seasoned network administrators and security
professionals with the in-depth coverage and step-by-step
walkthroughs they require to properly secure their network
perimeters and ensure safe connectivity for remote users. The book
contains special chapters devoted to mastering the complex Nokia
IPSO command line, as well as tips and tricks for taking advantage
of the new "ease of use" features in the Nokia Network Voyager Web
interface. In addition, the companion Web site offers downloadable
video walkthroughs on various installation and troubleshooting tips
from the authors.

Spacepower for a New Millennium examines how military space
activities might best contribute to United States national security
by analyzing key current and future issues such as missile defense
and how to organize for military space. Composed of essays written
by eminent participants in the realms of space, politics, academia,
and national security, this book focuses on the issues raised in
U.S. Space Command's 1998 report, Long Range Plan: Implementing
USSPACECOM Vision for 2020. The book is divided into four parts:
current military space issues, space and military defense,
organizing for military space missions and future military space
missions.
