Cold War Statesmen Confront the Bomb: Nuclear Diplomacy Since 1945
is a path-breaking work that uses biographical techniques to test
one of the most important and widely debated questions in
international politics: Did the advent of the nuclear bomb prevent
the Third World War? Many scholars and much conventional wisdom
assumes that nuclear deterrence has prevented major power war since
the end of the Second World War; this remains a principal tenet of
US strategic policy today. Others challenge this assumption, and
argue that major war would have been `obsolete' even without the
bomb. This book tests these propositions by examining the careers
of ten leading Cold War statesmen-Harry S Truman; John Foster
Dulles; Dwight D. Eisenhower; John F. Kennedy; Josef Stalin; Nikita
Krushchev; Mao Zedong; Winston Churchill; Charles De Gaulle; and
Konrad Adenauer-and asking whether they viewed war, and its
acceptability, differently after the advent of the bomb. The book's
authors argue almost unanimously that nuclear weapons did have a
significant effect on the thinking of these leading statesmen of
the nuclear age, but a dissenting epilogue from John Mueller
challenges this thesis.
Since the appearance of simplified 3D sketching programs like
SketchUp, architects and interior designers have been called on to
use both freehand and 3D CAD drawings, often at very earliest
stages of design. Since we must often go back and forth between
analytical plan views and 3D visual views, it's important that this
be a seamless process, requiring little disruptive action or break
in the workflow. Integrated Drawing Techniques closes the gap
between creativity and geometry, teaching beginner architects and
interior designers how to design their residential interiors using
freehand sketching and computer-aided design simultaneously. From
concept planning to 3D rendering, this book is a comprehensive
guide to designing residences by hand and computer.
ANATOMY of MEDIA Myths. Behaviors. Influence. TIPPING POINT
PHENOMENA This just released, ground-breaking book by Dr. Philip
Gordon, Ph.D details three recent media case studies which were
selected on the basis of common Tipping Point Attributes. Each case
study involved "contagiousness" and "stickiness" during their
development, and each arrived at a "dramatic moment in time," which
can only be characterized by the phenomenon of Tipping Points.
ANATOMY of MEDIA provides a research and academic perspective for
analyzing and predicting media myths, behaviors and influences
relative to global events. Fact-filled and up-to-date commentary,
informative and innovative, and valuable reading for scholars,
researchers and media watchers who want a candid and unique
framework for understanding and interpreting the media revolution
that is going on right now The first case study: "Myths" The 2008
Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama was chosen to examine a
narrower scope and time frame for the application of the tipping
point analysis. In contrast to the second case study: "Behaviors"
The International Financial Crisis of 2007-2010 which involves a
broader study period to identify trends and more complex tipping
point issues. The third study: "Influences" The issue of Climate
Change is included as consideration because the research and
analysis revealed critical relationships between media impact and
global events. The clock is ticking... As the issue of Climate
Change is still evolving, Dr. Gordon provides a methodology and
parameters for analyzing and predicting our planets' most pressing
Media Tipping Points.

GLOBAL EVENTS: TIPPING POINTS by Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D, details
three case studies which were selected on the basis of common
Tipping Point Attributes. Each involved media contagiousness and
stickiness during their development and each arrived at a "dramatic
moment in time," which could be characterized by the phenomenon of
Tipping Points. Recent GLOBAL EVENTS: TIPPING POINTS Case Studies:
The 2008 Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama was chosen to
examine a narrower scope and timeframe for the application of the
analysis. The International Financial Crisis of 2007-2010, involves
a broader data study period to identify trends and more complex
issues. And the Climate Change study is included for consideration
as the research and analysis revealed critical relationships
between media impact and global events. As the issue of Climate
Change is still evolving, Dr Gordon provides a Global Events:
Tipping Point Theory methodology for analyzing and predicting our
planets' most pressing global issue. Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D was
awarded his doctorate (with high honors) from the Centre d'Etudes

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Renew my body, set at 17. -Allen Ginsberg 1988, Chicago. Stare
deeply into the watery blue eyes of an elderly and wheelchair bound
man, pull back and you'll find yourself surrounded by the serenity
of the manicured lawn of the Thousand Oaks Convalescent Hospital...
his home for the past 30 years. Physical examinations must be done
periodically, as with all of the elderly. For David Jason, it's an
opportunity to briefly escape the confines of this limited world.
Today's ambulance ride with his nurse and confidant, Angela Ryan,
to Lakeview General Hospital will be unlike any other;...it will
alter his life forever... embarking on man-kind's most impossible
dream...a second.chance...to go through life again knowing what he
knows now. On the way to the hospital there is a terrible accident,
a collision between the ambulance and a careening eighteen wheeler
out of control Angela is thrown clear, and David a concussion and
deep lacerations; he is fortunate. Tests are done, and their
conclusions are shocking. It seems as though David's cells are
multiplying at an alarming rate, reversing metabolically to such an
extent that he is actually regressing in age He may only have 6
months to live, as the physiological trauma of the regeneration
process is determined to be too much for his life support systems.
Further tests are performed: his condition constantly monitored by
his faithful nurse. His injuries heal at an astonishing rate While
visually he begins to appear noticeably younger, he goes through
spells of strength and coherence then lapses into unexplainable
periods of severe pain and near death states. Angela reviews his
records, and finds nothing regarding his past no family contacts,
no prior addresses, no medical information prior to his admittance
on October 11, 1958. She suspects foul play and has him transferred
out of Thousand Oaks. With the assistance of a retired ex-cop
turned private investigator, Vince Carpeski, and a curious friend,
Dr. Conrad Hoffman, an unresolved mysterious and suspenseful trail
of a medical cover-up is revealed] The case was thought to have
been sealed thirty years ago with the murder of a prominent
hospital chief-of-staff surgeon who was on the verge of going
public with damaging research fraud allegations. A multi-billion
dollar pharmaceutical firm, Medtech, is implicated. A desperate man
of corruption and greed, SydUnderwood, is found to have
masterminded the scheme. As David and Angela race against time in
their search for answers and truth, a once-in-a-lifetime love is
rediscovered; a "fountain of youth" becomes a reality, giving love
a chance to blossom again. If only for a moment, medical technology
reaches into the future, sending shivering moments of enlightenment
to strike deep into the soul, as justice is served The story moves
between the forces of good and evil, eternal hope and despair as
the PENDULUM swings to an engaging and masterfully written climax,
offering our hearts and dreams...the possibility...of a second
chance.
The Zodiac Project is an insightful "wayfinding" technique for
understanding our spiritual energy journey. Dr Gordon presents his
concept as pure written poetry...a beautiful approach to the
meaning and purpose of life. Few will be unmoved by his passion and
eloquence.

"Climate change is already having sweeping effects on every
continent and throughout the world's oceans, scientists
report...and they warned that the problem was likely to grow
substantially worse unless greenhouse emissions are brought under
control. The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, a United Nations group that periodically summarizes climate
science, concluded that ice caps are melting, sea ice in the Arctic
is collapsing, water supplies are coming under stress, heat waves
and heavy rains are intensifying, coral reefs are dying, and fish
and many other creatures are migrating toward the poles or in some
cases going extinct. The oceans are rising at a pace that threatens
coastal communities and are becoming more acidic as they absorb
some of the carbon dioxide given off by cars and power plants,
which is killing some creatures or stunting their growth, the
report found...etc" - New York Times, March 31st, 2014. A must read
about our most pressing global issue: Climate Change: Tipping
Points Tipping Points are in many ways, influenced by media. This
just released, ground-breaking book by Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D
details the Climate Change issue which is analyzed on the basis of
Tipping Point Theory Attributes and Characteristics. Currently,
media contagiousness and stickiness are influencing the Climate
Change "epidemic" with contrasting and misleading information and
soon the "dramatic moment in time" will arrive, where the
culmination of man made impacts will be irreversible, which are
characterized by the phenomenon known as: the Tipping Point. As the
issue of Climate Change is still evolving, Dr Gordon provides a
methodology and parameters for analyzing and predicting our
planets' most pressing global issue. The challenge is to harness
and focus our global media agendas and priorities before it's too
late. Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D was awarded his doctorate (with
honors) from the Centre d'Etudes Diplomatiques et Strategegues
(CEDS) Paris, France and graduated with his masters while on a
