With the recent influx of spaceflight and satellite launches, the
region of outer space has become saturated with vital technology
used for communication and surveillance and the functioning of
business and government. But what would happen if these
capabilities were disrupted or even destroyed? How would we react
if faced with a full-scale blackout of satellite communications?
What can and has happened following the destruction of a satellite?
In the short term, the aftermath would send thousands of fragments
orbiting Earth as space debris. In the longer term, the
ramifications of such an event on Earth and in space would be
alarming, to say the least. This book takes a look at such
crippling scenarios and how countries around the world might
respond in their wake. It describes the aggressive actions that
nations could take and the technologies that could be leveraged to
gain power and control over assets, as well as to initiate war in
the theater of outer space. The ways that a country's vital
capabilities could be disarmed in such a setting are investigated.
In addition, the book discusses our past and present political
climate, including which countries currently have these abilities
and who the aggressive players already are. Finally, it addresses
promising research and space technology that could be used to
protect us from those interested in destroying the world's vital
systems.
Sustaining Teacher Leadership describes a model for linking
leadership and learning and identifies six components necessary for
enabling a culture for teacher leadership: learning, valuing,
nurturing, supporting, sharing, and coaching. The model is based on
an historical review of artifacts from earlier qualitative studies,
which report on eight years of a middle school's restructuring and
restructuring experiences. The book also describes the development
of a learning culture and five teachers' identification with a
democratic teacher-leadership style. Five teacher-leader
participants with full time teaching responsibilities were selected
from teachers who had participated for four or more years in the
enabling school culture and transferred together to a newly opening
school.
