The Cyber Threat and Globalization

The Impact on U.S. National and International Security

By: Jack A. Jarmon,Pano Yannakogeorgos

In the post-industrial age, information is more valuable than territory and has become the main commodity influencing geopolitics today. The reliance of societies on cyberspace and information and communication technologies (ICTs) for economic prosperity and national security represents a new domain of human activity and conflict. Their potential as tools of social disruption and the low cost of entry of asymmetric conflict have forced a paradigm shift. The Cyber Threat and Globalization is designed for students of security studies and international relations, as well as security professionals who want a better grasp of the nature and existential threat of today’s information wars. It explains policies and concepts, as well as describes the threats posed to the U.S. by disgruntled employees, hacktivists, criminals, terrorists, and hostile governments. Features Special textboxes provide vignettes and case studies to illustrate key concepts. Opinion pieces, essays, and extended quotes from noted subject matter experts underscore the main ideas. Written to be accessible to students and the general public, concepts are clear, engaging, and highly practical.

The American Discovery of Europe

By: Jack D. Forbes

The American Discovery of Europe investigates the voyages of America's Native peoples to the European continent before Columbus's 1492 arrival in the "New World." The product of over twenty years of exhaustive research in libraries throughout Europe and the United States, the book paints a clear picture of the diverse and complex societies that constituted the Americas before 1492 and reveals the surprising Native American involvements in maritime trade and exploration. Starting with an encounter by Columbus himself with mysterious people who had apparently been carried across the Atlantic on favorable currents, Jack D. Forbes proceeds to explore the seagoing expertise of early Americans, theories of ancient migrations, the evidence for human origins in the Americas, and other early visitors coming from Europe to America, including the Norse. The provocative, extensively documented, and heartfelt conclusions of The American Discovery of Europe present an open challenge to received historical wisdom.

America's Founding Fathers

Who Are They? Thumbnail Sketches of 164 Patriots

By: Jack Stanfield

Do you know who the founding fathers are? Did you know that Robert Morris was essentially the first Secretary of the Treasury. Did you know that only two men signed all three of the great documents of our republic. Some of the founding fathers were lost at sea, one just disappeared and was never heard from again, some went to debtors' prison for land speculation, and others gave all they had for the cause of liberty, including their lives. The founding fathers came from all walks of life and were enflamed with the cause of liberty. Some are well known, like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, but most remain obscure, such as Button Gwinnett from Georgia or Thomas Nelson, Jr., from Virginia. However, if the founding fathers had not made the sacrifices necessary to obtain liberty and had not shown the wisdom to form and maintain the union, we would not be the freest people in the world. It is important that we keep the memory of them alive. This book provides essential information on each of the founding fathers, listing their major public accomplishments. It is organized by state and can be read quickly, putting pertinent information at your fingertips. You will not have to sort through numerous documents to find basic information. Besides the sketches, the book supplies a synopsis of the events surrounding the men involved, and provides a set of definitions and an index to aid the reader. It provides you, your children, and your grandchildren a ready reference about the people who gave us our freedom.

The Barefoot Navigator

Wayfinding with the Skills of the Ancients

By: Jack Lagan

Barefoot navigation: 5,000 years in the making.' Barefoot Navigator introducesus to a unique take on navigation – using the skills of the ancients and technology-free techniques, we learn how to navigate using the sun, sea, wind and stars, and even the flight patterns of ocean birds. The first part of this absorbing book recounts a colourful history of seafarers and their navigation techniques. How did the Polynesians manage to populate an area of ocean larger than North America simply by analysing clouds,currents and wind direction? How did the Vikings routinely travel on the notorious stretches of water between Iceland, Greenland and Scandinavia? The second part shows how to use these ancient techniques to supplement today's navigational hardware, especially in survival situations. Fascinating history, useful advice, enjoyable writing, and different to every other navigation reference out there, this second edition has been beautifully packaged in a hardback format, with new illustrations and thoroughly revised text.

The Korean Crisis

One People, Two Nations, a World on the Brink

By: Jack Van DerSlik

An in-depth portrait of the two Koreas and their turbulent relationship—from the author of Eisenhower: A 20th Century Hero in War and Peace. After nearly 70 years of division between North and South Korea, the two nations have not yet achieved a peaceful settlement. Professor Emeritus Jack Van Der Slik’s book provides a first person account of the incredible differences between the nations. The Korean Crisis: One People, Two Nations, an Uncertain Future follows the fate of the two Koreas. The first is a story of hard-earned success by the South Korean people. Although democracy did not come easily, it did accompany flourishing through market capitalism. The second, the fall of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, began with early economic success then sank into a socialist dictatorship, stratifying the country’s people into a small privileged elite supported by a poor and cheerless mass of disadvantaged workers. Despite the poverty and food insecurity suffered by the North Korean underclass, the ruling elite has formidably armed itself with nuclear weapons and a massive standing army. The Korean Crisis draws upon deep studies of democratization in South Korea and Van Der Slik’s own travels throughout the Republic of Korea and Panmunjom—the heavily armed 38th parallel and the site of peace negotiations. Intensely researched, highly informative, and poignantly told, The Korean Crisis will educate the public about Korea and the dangers that exist there while shedding light on a possible catastrophic nuclear conflict between the two rival countries whose combatants are, in fact, one people.
