In the five months after Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy won a string of victories in a campaign to consolidate control of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. In June of 1942, Japan suffered a devastating defeat at the Battle of Midway and was never again able to take the offensive in the Pacific. Bringing fresh perspective to the battle and its consequences, the author identifies Japan's operational plan as a major factor in its Navy's demise and describes the profound effects Midway had on the course of the war in Europe.
Did President Roosevelt and other high-ranking U.S. government officials know about Japanese plans to attack Pearl Harbor, and fail to warn U.S. Navy leadership? Drawing on recently declassified materials and revelations from other writers, this book traces the flow of intelligence and concludes the imminent attack was allowed to happen to win the support of the American public in a war against Japan. An epilogue describes the fate of Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, the intelligence he received from Washington before the attack, and the intelligence he did not.

Competition for these jobs is fierce. Many candidates possess degrees in security management—some having spent their entire professional careers in private security. From Police to Security Professional: A Guide to a Successful Career Transition provides tips on overcoming the inherent obstacles law enforcement professionals face in making the switch and supplies a practical roadmap for entry into the private security world.The foundation of the book comes from the author’s own journey and the many hurdles he encountered transitioning to private sector security. With his help, you’ll learn: The unique skills, experience, and mentality required to enter into the private security industry from a law enforcement background The opportunities available and the different areas within the industry—including benefits and income potentialHow to properly evaluate your training portfolioHow to tailor your resume to garner the attention of hiring executivesThe many professional associations and certifications that could be helpful in your careerVital to your ability to succeed is understanding that security management has evolved into a distinct profession in its own right—one that brings with it different education, experience, and skill sets that clearly differentiate it from law enforcement. This book will help you better understand and be prepared for the policies, processes, and a corporate environment that operates in a very different way than the police structure to which you are accustomed. With the author’s help, you’ll give yourself every advantage to get the job and succeed in your new career.
??Hermitian Analysis: From Fourier Series to Cauchy-Riemann Geometry provides a coherent, integrated look at various topics from undergraduate analysis. It begins with Fourier series, continues with Hilbert spaces, discusses the Fourier transform on the real line, and then turns to the heart of the book, geometric considerations. This chapter includes complex differential forms, geometric inequalities from one and several complex variables, and includes some of the author's results. The concept of orthogonality weaves the material into a coherent whole. This textbook will be a useful resource for upper-undergraduate students who intend to continue with mathematics, graduate students interested in analysis, and researchers interested in some basic aspects of CR Geometry. The inclusion of several hundred exercises makes this book suitable for a capstone undergraduate Honors class.?
Linear and Complex Analysis for Applications aims to unify various parts of mathematical analysis in an engaging manner and to provide a diverse and unusual collection of applications, both to other fields of mathematics and to physics and engineering. The book evolved from several of the author’s teaching experiences, his research in complex analysis in several variables, and many conversations with friends and colleagues. It has three primary goals: to develop enough linear analysis and complex variable theory to prepare students in engineering or applied mathematics for advanced work, to unify many distinct and seemingly isolated topics, to show mathematics as both interesting and useful, especially via the juxtaposition of examples and theorems.The book realizes these goals by beginning with reviews of Linear Algebra, Complex Numbers, and topics from Calculus III. As the topics are being reviewed, new material is inserted to help the student develop skill in both computation and theory. The material on linear algebra includes infinite-dimensional examples arising from elementary calculus and differential equations. Line and surface integrals are computed both in the language of classical vector analysis and by using differential forms. Connections among the topics and applications appear throughout the book.The text weaves abstract mathematics, routine computational problems, and applications into a coherent whole, whose unifying theme is linear systems. It includes many unusual examples and contains more than 450 exercises.
Protection is the New Advantage for Any Leader, CEO & Investor We're not talking about outside-in based protection, through insurance, legal contracts, body guards, security surveillance systems or cyberware. Although very useful, these are reactive and therefore limited. If a leader creates negativity or makes wrong decisions it always comes back in some shape or form. We're talking about proactive universal inside-out based protection, where the right thought at the right time is your saving grace and new inspiration. Unfortunately, through the pressure and busyness of leadership and life we can disconnect from the universal force of protection. (chapt 1 explains what this is). Ever thought the relentless pursuit of achievement may in some way be diminishing you, your team and your achievements? Maybe even corrupting your health, shortening your tenure as a leader, diminishing the quality of your life or even losing your life early? Over the last two decades of accelerated change, top CEO's and executives aged 30-60, from top companies such as Deutsch Bank, Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Nintendo, Apple, JP Morgan, Fonterra, ESPN, Fox News, GE, Papa John's, SurveyMonkey, Theranos and Tata Motors, have stepped down or exited their roles due to stress induced performance and health issues, conflict, unethical or inappropriate behavior, and unfortunately unexpected early death and suicide. When the high of achievement wears off, the noise fades, and the silence takes over, what foundation are you standing on? What state do you exist in? If it's not a state of fulfillment, which is the real goal beyond achievement, then you have to look at how you're achieving. The Science of Protection is a six step journey that helps ensure your achievement is based on the firm and universal foundation of protection, which helps protect you and your progress without suffering. Through purification, coherence, leadership state, capacity, spontaneous right action and deserving power you can be a leader who removes the darkness of uncertainty, doubt, stress and fear, in yourself and others, and does what is most evolutionary and fulfilling for yourself, your team and the world. Implementing the Science of Protection as a foundation to your Science of Achievement will help you: - Avert & minimize loss of time, money, energy, ROI, key talent, shareholder value, health, and reputation. - Diminish fear-based decision-making and increase fulfillment-based decision making. - Prevent and reduce costly failure and career damaging mistakes. - Ensure you achieve what you expect in the long run. - Continue to achieve and progress amidst exponential change, challenges and crisis. - Avert being hijacked by your or someone else's ego. - Stay in alignment with your "inner why" and purpose. - Quickly overcome inertia and resistances like stress, vices, incoherence and attachment. - Most importantly help you prevent an untimely early and unfortunate death as a leader. Leadership problems and failures start from weaknesses in the mind which then translate into behavior and action. Leaders of today and the future have to be more familiar with what truly develops their leadership mind so they have greater awareness to make the right decisions. The Science of Protection will put you on the fore front of how to do this. We welcome you to a new era of leadership, where protection is the deepest foundation to build your achievement. A foundation that protects you, your team and your achievements, enabling you to have an protected advantage in creating stellar success and become an enlightened leader who protects your world and everyone in it. To your and your peoples protected success ps Please review to inspire other leaders

This book provides a first course on deep learning in computational mechanics. The book starts with a short introduction to machine learning’s fundamental concepts before neural networks are explained thoroughly. It then provides an overview of current topics in physics and engineering, setting the stage for the book’s main topics: physics-informed neural networks and the deep energy method.The idea of the book is to provide the basic concepts in a mathematically sound manner and yet to stay as simple as possible. To achieve this goal, mostly one-dimensional examples are investigated, such as approximating functions by neural networks or the simulation of the temperature’s evolution in a one-dimensional bar.Each chapter contains examples and exercises which are either solved analytically or in PyTorch, an open-source machine learning framework for python.
