This volume of the Future of Warfare series examines some of the most significant factors shaping military trends over the next ten to 15 years: changes in the size, quality, and character of military forces available to the United States and its potential adversaries. The report identifies six trends regarding who and where the United States is most likely to fight in the future and how those wars will be conducted.
Military Applications of Artificial Intelligence

The authors examine the ethical considerations, benefits, and risks of military applications of artificial intelligence. Comparing development efforts in the United States, China, and Russia (as well as various positions on proposals to regulate or ban autonomous weapons), the authors point to a need for the United States to continue to pursue advantages in the field and explore confidence-building and risk-reduction measures with other states.

In this report, the authors provide recommendations for implementing comprehensive screening policies and securing commercial nucleic acid synthesis services against misuse.
Uncovering Calvin’s God
Forrest H. Buckner; Oliver D. Crisp
Lexington Books/Fortress Academic
2020
sidottu
Although “God loves you” is a common paraphrase of Christian teaching and preaching, a close reading of the Bible and attention to the Christian tradition will reveal passages of Scripture and Christian doctrines-- particularly John Calvin’s doctrine of predestination--that seem to undermine confidence in God’s love for all people. For many theologians, not only in the Reformed tradition, the secret decree of Calvin’s God to save some and condemn others seems completely to undercut any assurance of salvation and the ability to trust in and worship God. However, pastor and scholar John Calvin confidently spoke of God as a loving Father throughout his teaching and preaching. In Uncovering Calvin’s God, Forrest H. Buckner unearths Calvin’s teaching about the God of love who reigns sovereign over predestination. Drawing upon sources from across Calvin’s corpus, Buckner examines Calvin’s teaching on the knowledge of God and the doctrine of predestination to provide a more robust and cohesive understanding of Calvin’s theology, which Buckner then confirms through an extensive examination of Calvin’s preaching in Geneva. He then offers a critical comparison of Calvin’s approach with the teaching of Luther, Zwingli, Bullinger, Arminius, and Barth. Using Calvin’s system as a starting point, this book helps readers perceive the essentials and trade-offs of any doctrine of predestination that takes seriously both the Bible and the loving God revealed in Jesus Christ.

For numerous theologians, including many within the Reformed tradition, the secret decree of Calvin’s God to save some and condemn others seems to undercut completely one’s assurance of salvation along with one’s ability to trust in and worship God.

Why do babies have lopsided smiles? Why are so many people's eyes misaligned? What started as a simple search to understand this phenomenon turned into a two-year quest that uncovered hidden links between our crooked faces and some of the most puzzling diseases of our time. From autism to Alzheimer's and from chronic fatigue syndrome to Crohn's disease, Crooked methodically goes through the most recent scientific research and connects the dots from the outbreak of metallic medicine in 1800s England to the eruption of neurological and autoimmune disorders so many are suffering from today. If the theories put forth in this book are true, the convergence of metals, microbes and medicine that started two hundred years ago may have set humanity on a path of suffering that could make the deadliest epidemics in history pale in comparison. Thankfully, for the millions who are afflicted, who may have found nothing to explain the cause of their suffering - these same theories could also illuminate the path to healing and recovery.

California's first covered bridges came to be due to the gold rush and played a significant role in the state's development. Many survive to today and give us a glimpse into the past, as well as serve as focal points for local events. This book is an introduction to these bridges, their past, and other places or events to visit nearby. I hope reading this inspires many to visit and enjoy these little recognized icons of the past.
While waiting for the release of my book California Covered Bridges Pre 1900, a wildfire destroyed several California towns and one of the bridges described in the book. This book is a tribute to that bridge and its impact on the community. The proceeds are to be used to help the community recover.

Colonialism, Independence, and the Construction of Nation-States
Forrest D. Colburn
Springer Nature Switzerland AG

This book investigates studies on colonialism and anti-colonialism from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. The author begins by recounting the deleterious impact of colonialism and then focuses on the heady days of anti-colonialism nationalism. He traces how the system fell apart: leaders, especially those of the second-generation, often turned out to be inept and corrupt; structural obstacles led poor countries to continue to depend on the export of commodities; advanced countries promised to help, but did not prove useful; when growth was possible, here and there, the fruits of development were seldom distributed widely. This project will appeal to the academics, researchers, and students in the fields of comparative politics, development studies, government, and economics.
This book analyzes the nature and functions of horror films from the vantage of a theoretical reconstruction of George Santayana’s account of beauty. This neo-Santayanan framework forms the conceptual backdrop for a new model of horror’s aesthetic enjoyment, the nature of which is detailed through the examination of plot, cinematic, and visual devices distinctive of the popular genre. According to this model, the audience derives pleasure from the films through confronting the aversive scenarios they communicate and rationalizing a denial of their personal applicability. The films then come to embody these acts of self-assertion and intellectual overcoming and become objects of pride. How horror films can acquire necropolitical functions within the context of abusive systems of power is also clarified. These functions, which exploit the power of anti-tragedy, downward social comparison, or vicarious emotion, work to remediate aggressive, ascetic, or revolutionary impulses in ways that are not injurious to the status quo. This book champions horror as a source of self-empowerment and unmitigated beauty, but also attests to the potential social harms of the genre.
