overcome by a science experiment gone wrong. Something sinister
lurks beneath the sleepy tourist town of Turner Falls nestled in
the hills of central Oregon. A growing spate of mysterious
disappearances and frenzied outbursts threaten the town's idyllic
reputation until an inexplicable epidemic of violence spills out
over the unsuspecting city. When the teenage children of several
executives from the local biotech firm become ill and

This book outlines the threats from information warfare faced by
the West and analyses the ways it can defend itself. Existing on a
spectrum from communication to indoctrination, information can be
used to undermine trust, amplify emotional resonance, and
reformulate identities. The West is currently experiencing an
information war, and major setbacks have included: 'fake news';
disinformation campaigns; the manipulation of users of social
media; the dissonance of hybrid warfare; and even accusations of
'state capture'. Nevertheless, the West has begun to comprehend the
reality of what is happening, and it is now in a position defend
itself. In this volume, scholars, information practitioners, and
military professionals define this new war and analyse its shape,
scope, and direction. Collectively, they indicate how media
policies, including social media, represent a form of information
strategy, how information has become the 'centre of gravity' of
operations, and why the further exploitation of data (by scale and
content) by adversaries can be anticipated. For the West, being
first with the truth, being skilled in cyber defence, and
demonstrating virtuosity in information management are central to
resilience and success. This book will be of much interest to
students of strategic studies, information warfare, propaganda
studies, cyber-security, and International Relations.

This book explores the natures of recent stabilisation efforts and
global upstream threats. As prevention is always cheaper than the
crisis of state collapse or civil war, the future character of
conflict will increasingly involve upstream stabilisation
operations. However, the unpredictability and variability of state
instability requires governments and militaries to adopt a
diversity of approach, conceptualisation and vocabulary. Offering
perspectives from theory and practice, the chapters in this
collection provide crucial insight into military roles and
capabilities, opportunities, risks and limitations, doctrine,
strategy and tactics, and measures of effect relevant to operations
in upstream environments. This volume will appeal to researchers
and practitioners seeking to understand historical and current
conflict.
Outreach Magazine's 2012 Resource of the Year Award Winner 2012
Book of the Year Award, Foreword Magazine The entire material world
can be divided between the Natural Environment and the Built
Environment. Over the past forty years, the Natural Environment has
received more attention of the two, but that is beginning to
change. With a renewed interest in "place" within various academic
disciplines and the practical issues of rising fuel costs and
scarcity of land, the Built Environment has emerged as a coherent
and engaging subject for academic and popular consideration. While
there is a growing body of work on the Built Environment, very
little approaches it from a distinctly Christian perspective. This
major new work represents a comprehensive and grounded approach.
Employing tools from the field of theology and culture, it
demonstrates how looking at the Built Environment through a
theological lens provides a unique perspective on questions of
beauty, justice, and human flourishing.
Why do Black Americans go to Africa? How do they react to their
ancestral motherland? Why do some return to the States and others
remain? Obviously each has an individual story, but in these
in-depth interviews, Professor Robert Johnson gives voice to many
of their reasons and responses.
The interviews speak to the essential question of Black
Americans and their links--emotional, spiritual, and even
physical--to Africa, or the lack thereof. After an introductory
survey of efforts from the 18th century onward to relocate back to
Africa, Johnson presents the interviews conducted from the early
1970s and onward. The voices are both male and female, and the
reactions cover a range of responses, all of which makes this
compelling reading for students and researchers of cultural
diversity, Black studies, American studies, ethnic studies, and
African studies.
Fighting for Africa captures the commitment and contributions of
two men who dedicated their lives to the fight to free Africa from
colonialism and racism. Ambassador Dudley Thompson, though born in
the West Indies, became a British barrister. Thompson lived in
Africa, where he provided essential legal services to Jomo Kenyatta
when he was a defendant in the infamous Mau Mau trials of the 1950s
and when Kenyatta became the president of independent Kenya. In
addition, Ambassador Thompson drafted the constitution for newly
independent Tanzania and served as legal advisor to its president,
Julius Nyerere. Bill Sutherland, born in the United States, took an
early stand against war and militarism in the 1940s and, as a
result, was imprisoned by the United States government with other
peace advocates of the period, such as David Dellinger. Upon
release from prison, Bill Sutherland emigrated to pre-independence
Gold Coast, where he worked as an advisor to President Kwame
Nkrumah. Both men were very instrumental in the early Pan-African
movement and participated in the 1945 conference in Manchester,
England. There they worked with such Pan-African greats as Amy
Garvey, W.E.B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, and George Padmore. Fighting
for Africa is a seminal text for college, university, and legal
audiences in that it chronicles the development of the concept of
Pan-Africanism and applies its tenets to the processes of
de-colonization and nationalism (nation-building) in Africa. The
text will be indispensable to students and scholars throughout the
African Diaspora who desire a clear understanding of Pan-Africanism
as both a philosophy and practicum.
