Warfare in a Fragile World - Military Impact on the Human Environment (Paperback): Sipri Warfare in a Fragile World - Military Impact on the Human Environment (Paperback)
Sipri
R1,019 Discovery Miles 10 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book, first published in 1980, examines the extent to which warfare and other military activities contribute to environmental degradation. The military capability to damage the environment has escalated. The military use and abuse of each of the several major global habitats - temperate, tropical, desert, arctic, insular and oceanic - are evaluated separately in the light of the civil use and abuse of that habitat.

Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Environment (Paperback): Sipri Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Environment (Paperback)
Sipri
R997 Discovery Miles 9 970 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The effects of weapons of mass destruction cannot be contained, either spatially or temporally, are unpredictable, discriminate poorly between combatants and civilians, and are highly disruptive of ecosystems. This book, first published in 1977, examines several WMD and analyses the extent and duration of environmental damage to be expected from them. Chapters are devoted to the ecological impacts of nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons, and geophysical and environmental weapons.

Anti-personnel Weapons (Paperback): Sipri Anti-personnel Weapons (Paperback)
Sipri
R1,179 Discovery Miles 11 790 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book, first published in 1978, analyses the development, uses and effects of conventional anti-personnel weapons such as rifles and machine guns, grenades, bombs, shells and mines. It provides the historical, military, technical and clinical background to the international legal discussions as part of the ongoing efforts to prohibit or restrict the uses of some of the more inhumane and indiscriminate of these weapons, the most successful being the 1997 Ottawa Treaty that banned the use of anti-personnel mines.

Sipri
R1,102 Discovery Miles 11 020 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book, first published in 1980, presents the findings of the SIPRI-organized 1979 international symposium on the destruction and conversion of chemical weapons. Thirty experts from 14 countries discussed the destruction and conversion of present stockpiles of chemical warfare agents and munitions; the destruction and conversion of CW research and development facilities; verification of compliance, and confidence-building measures facilitating verification; and the environmental and occupational health hazards involved in maintaining and in disposing of stockpiles of CW agents and munitions.

Outer Space - Battlefield of the Future? (Paperback): Sipri Outer Space - Battlefield of the Future? (Paperback)
Sipri
R1,103 Discovery Miles 11 030 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book, first published in 1978, examines the military use of space - around 60 per cent of US and Soviet satellites were military ones. The satellites were for military communications, weather prediction, navigation, photographic and electronic reconnaissance, targeting, early warning, and satellites capable of destroying enemy satellites. This book analyses the capabilities of military satellites as part of the debate around the encroachment of military technology and purposes into space.

Policies for Common Security (Paperback): Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) Policies for Common Security (Paperback)
Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI)
R1,102 Discovery Miles 11 020 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The basic idea of common security is not complex. It is that no country can obtain security, in the long run, simply by taking unilateral decisions about its own military forces. This is because security depends also on the actions and reactions of potential adversaries. Security has to be found in common with those adversaries. These ideas were considered in a SIPRI conference held in 1983. The conference had two main objectives. The first was to undertake a critical examination of the concept. The second was to consider the implications of the idea for policy in general, and for disarmament and arms control policy in particular. Originally published in 1985, this book contains revised versions of some of the papers presented at the conference.
