  • University Press of America Anticipating Surprise

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAnticipating Surprise, originally written as a manual for training intelligence analysts during the Cold War, has been declassified and condensed to provide wider audiences with an inside look at intelligence gathering and analysis for strategic warning. Cynthia Grabo defines the essential steps in the warning process, examines distinctive ingredients of the analytic method of intelligence gathering, and discusses the guidelines for assessing the meaning of gathered information. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America, intelligence collection and analysis has been hotly debated. In this book, Grabo suggests ways of improving warning assessments that better convey warnings to policymakers and military commanders who are responsible for taking appropriate action to avert disaster.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Forward Chapter 2 Editor's Preface Chapter 3 Introduction Chapter 4 The Role of Warning Intelligence: General Nature of the Problem; What is Warning; Intentions versus Capabilities Chapter 5 Introduction to the Analytical Method: Indicator Lists: Compiling Indications; Fundamentals of Indications Analysis; Specifics of the Analytical Method Chapter 6 Military Indications and Warnings: The Nature of Military Indicators; Order-of-Battle Analysis in Crisis Situations; Logistics is the Queen of Battles; Other Factors in Combat Preparations Chapter 7 Political Factors for Warning: Ambiguity of Political Indicator; A Problem of Perception; Considerations in Political Warning Chapter 8 Warning from the Totality of Evidence: The Relative Weight of Political and Military Factors; Isolating the Critical Facts and Indications; Some Guidelines for Assessing the Meaning of Evidence; Reconstructing the Adversary's Decisionmaking Process Chapter 9 Surprise and Timing: Principal Factors in Timing and Surprise; Examples of Assessing Timing; Warning is Not a Forecast of Imminence Chapter 10 The Problem of Deception: Infrequency and Neglect of Deception; Principals, Techniques and Effectiveness of Deception; Types of Deception; What Can We Do About It?

  • Rowman & Littlefield Publishers The New Invisible College Science for Development

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe twentieth century was the era of big science. Driven by strategic rivalries and fierce economic competition, wealthy governments invested heavily in national science establishments. Direct funding for institutions like the National Science Foundation and high-visibility projects, such as the race to the moon, fueled innovation, growth, and national prestige. But the big science model left poorer countries out in the cold. Today the organization of science is undergoing a fundamental transformation. In T he New Invisible College, Caroline Wagner combines quantitative data and extensive interviews to map the emergence of global science networks and trace the dynamics driving their growth. She argues that the shift from big science to global networks creates unprecedented opportunities for developing countries to tap science''s potential. Rather than squander resources in vain efforts to mimic the scientific establishments of the twentieth century, developing country governments can leverage networks by creating incentives for top-notch scientists to focus on research that addresses their concerns and by finding ways to tie knowledge to local problem solving. T he New Invisible College offers both a guidebook and a playbook for policymakers confronting these tasks.

  • Optimum Publishing International The Mosaic Effect

    15 in stock

    Trade ReviewThis book strikingly unveils the staggering extent of China's grip on Canada and its hold on our politicians. It casts an unrelenting spotlight on the myriad of Canadian-Chinese entities that steadfastly pledge allegiance to China while exposing the ominous orchestration of the Triads, an Asian criminal juggernaut, in a pivotal, chilling role. I dare every single Canadian politician to immerse themselves in the depths of this book and then, in a moment of introspection, confront the mirror and make the weighty choice: on which side of history shall you etch your name? -- Garry Clement * Former Director of the Proceeds of Crime Division, Royal Canadian Mounted Police *“The Mosaic Effect is dynamite, blowing wide-open the truth about a political and criminal collaboration between the Chinese Communist Party, Hong Kong’s Triads and wealthy business tycoons that pose a direct and grave threat to Canada and its freedoms. If this book was fictional it would be a gripping novel in the genre of Graham Greene or John Le Carre, but the horrifying reality is it is fact, not fiction. What has come to light in recent years about the Chinese Communist Party regime’s infiltration of Canada and how it has become the soft underbelly to infiltrate America is truly shocking. But in truth it has been going on extensively for over three decades – and was known to successive Canadian governments, which chose to cover up the evidence and do nothing.” -- Benedict Rogers * CEO, Hong Kong Watch *Table of ContentsFOREWORD by Finn Lau vii THE CCP’S MAGIC BULLET by Ivy Li xvii INTRODUCTION 1 1.
