Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Full color publication. The Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM)
assembles in a single source the current state-of-the-art in
coastal engineering to provide appropriate guidance for application
of techniques and methods to the solution of most coastal
engineering problems. The CEM provides a standard for the
formulation, design, and expected performance of a broad variety of
coastal projects. These projects are undertaken to provide or
improve navigation at commercial harbors, harbor works for
commercial fish handling and service facilities, and recreational
boating facilities. As an adjunct to navigation improvements, shore
protection projects are often required to mitigate the impacts of
navigation projects. Beach erosion control and hurricane or coastal
storm protection projects provide wave damage reduction and flood
protection to valuable coastal commercial, urban, and tourist
communities. Environmental restoration projects provide a rational
layout and proven approach to restoring the coastal and tidal
environs where such action may be justified, or required as
mitigation to a coastal project's impacts, or as mitigation for the
impact of some previous coastal activity, incident, or neglect. As
the much expanded replacement document for the Shore Protection
Manual (1984) and several other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) manuals, the CEM provides a much broader field of guidance.
Part VI "Design of Coastal Project Elements" includes chapters
discussing philosophy of coastal structure design, the various
types and function of coastal structures, site conditions,
materials, design fundamentals, reliability, and the design of
specific project elements (including a sloping-front structure,
vertical-front structure, beach fill, floating structure, pile
structure, and a pipeline and outfall structure.
The Army Medical Department, 1865-1917, is the third of four
planned volumes that treat the time of revolutionary change in the
organization of the U.S. Army and in medicine. Mary C. Gillett
traces major developments for the Medical Department-from its
rebirth as a small scattered organization in the wake of the Civil
War, through the trials of the Spanish-American War and the
Philippine Insurrection, to the entrance of the United States into
World War I.

Part V "Coastal Project Planning and Design" starts with chapters
discussing the planning and design process and site
characterization. Following these general chapters are ones
discussing the planning and design of shore protection projects
(including coastal armoring, beach restoration, beach stabilization
and coastal flood protection projects), beach fill, navigation
projects (including defining the fleet, entrance channel, inner
harbor elements, structures, sedimentation, maintenance, and
management), and environmental enhancement projects (including
laws, regulations, and authorities, issues, alternative approaches,
planning, and design). A final chapter outlines conditions and
regulations unique to USACE projects in the United States.

Part III "Coastal Sediment Processes" includes chapters on sediment
properties, along shore and cross-shore transport, as well as
chapters on wind transport, cohesive sediment processes and shelf
transport.

Part II "Coastal Hydrodynamics" is organized to lead the reader
from the fundamental principles of linear and other wave theories,
including irregular waves and spectral analysis, to ocean wave
generation and through the process of transformation as the wave
approaches and reacts with the coastline. Analysis of water level
variations including astronomical tides and storm surges are
presented along with the hydrodynamics of coastal inlets and
harbors are included in other chapters.
Reprint of 1970 publication from the US Army Center of Military
History. A description of selected small unit actions, written
primarily to acquaint junior officers, noncommissioned officers,
and enlisted soldiers with combat experiences in Korea.
With full color photographs and maps. "Humanitarian Intervention"
is an operational study of the U.S.-led relief effort PROVIDE
COMFORT, hastily organized in the spring of 1991 in response to the
international outcry to stop the suffering and dying of the Iraqi
Kurds who had been brutally suppressed in the aftermath of DESERT
STORM and had fled across a mountainous border into Turkey. Gordon
W. Rudd documents and describes this challenging operation
involving joint and multinational forces. His study validates the
capacity of military forces, well trained for war, not only to
adapt quickly for humanitarian relief missions without specialized
preparation but also to work alongside civilian relief agencies
attempting to assist the refugees, requiring significant
cooperation between the two groups. Today the potential of the new
round of military-led peace operations to reduce turmoil and
conflict-and, in effect, contribute to shaping the international
environment-is significant, and soldiers now deployed in distant
lands amidst unfamiliar people in the service of their nation will
find Rudd's instructive perspective and record of the Army's
experience invaluable.

Ebb and Flow records an important chapter in the Korean War, the
period from late November 1950 to early July 1951 when battle lines
did indeed ebb and flow in pronounced surges. Billy C. Mossman
begins with the last weeks of the pell-mell rush of United Nations
forces to the Chinese border and goes on to chronicle in great
detail the test of American military leadership and resources posed
by the taxing retreat of the Eighth Army and X Corps across the
frozen wastes of North Korea. He highlights the limitations imposed
by terrain and weather on the fighting capabilities of an American
army facing surprise attack from a large disciplined enemy. In
addition, the operations he describes in such careful detail vivify
the principles of war for those with an interest in studying the
profession of arms. With color maps, illustrations, bibliographical
note, glossaries, index.
A history of the intricate and frustrating truce negotiations
between the UN forces and the Chinese Communists that continued
from July 1951 until July 1953, of the bitter hill fighting that
continued during those negotiations, and of the large-scale
prisoner riots at Koje-do. With color maps, illustrations,
bibliographical note, glossaries, index.
This groundbreaking work challenges modernist military science and
explores how a more open design epistemology is becoming an
attractive alternative to a military staff culture rooted in a
monistic scientific paradigm. The author offers fresh sociological
avenues to become more institutionally reflexive - to offer a
variety of design frames of reference, beyond those typified by
modern military doctrine. Modernist military knowledge has been
institutionalized to the point that blinds militaries to
alternative designs organizationally and in their interventions.
This book seeks to reconstruct strategy and operations in
"designing ways" and develops theories of action through
multifaceted contextualizations and recontextualizations of
situations, showing that Military Design does not have to rely on
set rational-analytic decision-making schemes, but on seeking
alternative meanings in- and on-action. The work offers an
alternative philosophy of practice that embraces the
unpredictability of tasks to be accomplished. Written by Colonel
Paparone (U.S. Army, Ret., PhD) with a special chapter by two
active duty officers, it will appeal to all in military and
security studies, including professionals and policymakers.
An account of the first five months of the Korean War, describing
the withdrawal to the Pusan perimeter, MacArthur's landing at
Inch'on and drive northward that crushed the North Koreans, and the
stiffening of enemy resistance as the United Nations forces neared
the Manchurian border. With color maps, illustrations,
bibliographical note, glossaries, index.
