The possession of high-technology weapons, some capable of mass destruction, is no longer the exclusive prerogative of superpowers. This volume explores the international and security issues raised by the acquisition of modern weapons among emerging Third World powers and its implications for U.S. policy. Based on the findings of a year-long resear
This book explores the international and security issues raised by the acquisition of modern weapons among emerging Third World powers and its implications for the U.S. policy. It examines U.S. foreign policy challenges that may emerge from Third World conflicts and recommends innovative approaches.
A presentation of strategies for managing woody plants and using research data to select the most appropriate control methods. It analyzes the responses of over 370 North American woody plants to commercially available herbicides. The authors provide methods to manage woody plants that interfere with recreation, watershed yield, animal and plant diversity, resource conservation, wildlife and livestock needs, and wood production on grazing, forest, and related land.

Retaining the broad yet practical approach of previous editions, this popular textbook has been fully updated with research and theory from the last two decades to guide students through the concepts and principles of group dynamics. It now includes a brand-new introductory chapter, three new chapters on diversity and inclusion, creativity and design, and virtual groups, and dedicated chapters on communication and perception. Each chapter features in-class 'Try this!' activities that promote understanding of practical applications, new case examples from real-world organizations, and enhanced learning objectives to guide readers' learning experience. Hundreds of new studies have been added throughout, and examples consider the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote working, the MeToo movement, social media, climate change, and political polarization. Suitable for both undergraduates and first-year graduates, this textbook is supported by an online test bank, PowerPoint lecture slides, activity worksheets, and suggested additional resources.

Global problem or treasure? This question has accompanied the widespread and controversial Mesquite tree wherever it grows and is studied around the world. In this comprehensive reference to the genus Prosopis, rangeland scientist Rodney Bovey has gathered and synthesized years of research in a book that reflects our current state of knowledge about the biology, morphology, and management of MesquiteEnvironmentally adaptive, the Mesquite is considered by many to be an invasive or a pest species, and Bovey addresses the concerns about Mesquite encroachment worldwide. But he also explains its ecological importance in the prevention of erosion and desertification and in providing food and habitat for wildlife.In addition, Bovey traces the uses of Mesquite by humans and discusses the economics of growing and harvesting Mesquite. A handy guide to the names, locations, distributions, habitat, structure, and uses of several species of Mesquite is included in this benchmark publication for ecologists, range managers, biologists, landowners, and students of agriculture and ecosystem science.

Often referred to as the Forgotten War, the Battle for Burma was fought in a geographically challenging and isolated region far from the major population centers of the time. But for the people who took part in it, the battle was a personal struggle to defend their homes from imminent Japanese invasion. Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Reginald Maddox was one such soldier. Born in Burma to a single mother, Patrick Maddox and his twin sister were adopted by the very doctor who oversaw their birth, Dr. Maddox. In 1941, Patrick enlisted in the Burma Rifles and was seconded to the Office of Strategic Services-Detachment 101. He spent the majority of the war behind enemy lines, using guerrilla warfare tactics to take down enemies in the hot, humid jungles. Part memoir and part autobiography, Shadows in the Burmese Jungle combines Patrick Maddox's personal diaries with military records and first-person accounts from fellow soldiers to convey the challenges, sacrifices, and dangerous environment faced during the famous Battle of Burma. A perfect book for World War II history enthusiasts, it chronicles the physical and psychological toll of war, the heroism and sacrifice demanded from both soldiers and civilians, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Innovative Learning Analytics for Evaluating Instruction covers the application of a forward-thinking research methodology that uses big data to evaluate the effectiveness of online instruction. Analysis of Patterns in Time (APT) is a practical analytic approach that finds meaningful patterns in massive data sets, capturing temporal maps of students’ learning journeys by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Offering conceptual and research overviews, design principles, historical examples, and more, this book demonstrates how APT can yield strong, easily generalizable empirical evidence through big data; help students succeed in their learning journeys; and document the extraordinary effectiveness of First Principles of Instruction. It is an ideal resource for faculty and professionals in instructional design, learning engineering, online learning, program evaluation, and research methods.
