ONI which is designated as the US Navy’s foremost elite intelligence agency has been compromised due to an unknown breach of national security by an act of espionage and thievery through stolen information and contents within their secret archives. The agency is at a lost because of such knowledge itself has sensitive as well as valuable materials of data and information that is very important to the security and defense of the United States government and her military which could cause damaging consequences now and in the future. But little do they know that the infiltration of their secrecy was accomplished by one of their own. A surprising young naval officer who had a thriving career as one of the navy’s most top counter intelligence analyst has deliberately hacked into one of their servers illegally, along with stealing classified materials from the Department of Defense as well as the navy’s own intelligence department to sell to the highest bidder to an unknown terrorist organization. Discovering this treachery, the US government wants to send covert agents to find this individual and bring him to justice, but they are afraid that the rogue officer will identify them before they can catch him. So, a plan comes into play from an idea of a top high-ranking naval officer that suggest the capture of this individual should not be done by a group of secret agents, but by one man who is specialized in capturing wanted fugitives; a Bounty Hunter.

Biological control is the suppression of populations of pests and weeds by living organisms. These organisms can provide important protection from invasive species and protect our environment by reducing the need for pesticides. However, they also pose possible environmental risks, so biological control interventions must be undertaken with great care. This book enhances our understanding of biological control interactions by combining theory and practical application. Using a combination of historical analyses, theoretical models and case studies, with explicit links to invasion biology, the authors cover biological control of insects, weeds, plant pathogens and vertebrate animals. The book reflects increasing recognition of risks over the past 20 years, and incorporates the latest technological advances and theoretical developments. It is ideal for researchers and students of biological control and invasion biology.

Following the emotional success of the I Olympiad of the Modern Era in Athens in 1896, the Olympic movement struggled through more than a decade of disappointment and uncertainty. It would not be until 1912 in Stockholm that the Olympics rediscovered the magic of Athens, and struck on a model for the Games that endures to this day.The V & VI Olympiads, the sixth volume in The Olympic Century series, begins with the Games that finally showed the world what the modern Olympics could be-Stockholm 1912. Flawlessly planned and organized with typical Swedish precision, the Stockholm Games allowed the athletes to take centre stage. The book tells the story of Olympic heroes like Jim Thorpe, a Native American who claimed gold in both the pentathlon and decathlon before going on to play professional baseball, basketball and football; George S. Patton, the famed WWII general, who competed in the modern pentathlon; and Arnold Strode-Jackson who won gold in the 1,500 metres competing as an individual entry in what was called at the time "e;the greatest race ever run."e;Following Stockholm, the focus of the book shifts to the Olympics that never happened: the Games of the VI Olympiad - Berlin 1916. Planning for the Berlin Games began in 1912 and construction of the central venue, the 64,000-seat Deutsches Stadion, was completed in June 1913. But just over one year later, in July 1914, the start of World War I would postpone Berlin's Olympic dream for another twenty years. Juan Antonio Samaranch, former President of the International Olympic Committee, called The Olympic Century, "e;The most comprehensive history of the Olympic games ever published"e;.

Why do people kill? In the case of the young and mentally unstable Frank Zastera, the rationale was as simple as the act was brutal: he wanted William Sheppard's money. In other homicides, such as the still-unsolved 1913 murder of George Harris, the motive for committing the ultimate crime remains obscured for eternity. In Murders in Monmouth, author George Joynson unflinchingly assembles the who, what, when, where and why surrounding twelve high-profile killings perpetrated by various individuals in early twentieth-century Monmouth County.
