Monumental Bibliography for Intelligence Studies
In a new Century characterised by the Internet, computerised databases and electronic archives, a new traditional hardcover bibliography may at first sound outmoded.But James Calder's new addition to the world ofintelligence studies seems to defy both time and scope.Indeed, thismonumental bibliography fulfils a need that is long overdue, in coveringnot books but journal and magazine articles in its field.Whereas a seriesof books published by ABC Clio Press several years ago cover intelligencebibliographies of individual countries, notably Britain, France and Israel,this new bibliography is far wider in its scope and deals with all aspectsof intelligence, espionage and security issues which are related tointelligence as well.

James Calder, Professor of Criminal Justice at theUniversity of Texas, set out to chart articles dealing with intelligenceand espionage, which appeared in scholarly journals and magazine from 1844to 1998.Over 150 years of articles are listed by author, many with abrief summary or abstract.Also included is an extensive indexing bykeywords and terms, as well as a co-author index.

The first thing thereader notices in this new book is its sheer size.The annotatedbibliography part encompasses over 1200 pages and includes well over tenthousand individual entries. The meticulously-researched entries includedozens of well known journals, but it also covers numerous journals andsources which the average intelligence scholar may not be familiar with,such as the Colorado Quarterly, Criminal Law Bulletin, GovernmentPublications Review, Joint Forces Quarterly, even the Jerusalem Journal ofInternational Relations.Also included are dozens of journals in foreignlanguages, including French, Italian, Russian and many more.

Leafingthrough the entries, one is amazed by the amount of work that must havegone into locating numerous little known or even obscure sources. With somany thousands of entries, a quick search may however turn into a longnight's reading, so all you intelligence fans beware.The book is easy touse and is not cluttered with mysterious acronyms or technicaljargon.

With its hefty price tag, Calder's book may not fit everyone'swallet.However, it is an essential book for any reference and universitylibrary dealing with intelligence.Calder's extraordinary work willremain, for years to come, the standard bibliographic reference work forjournal sources on intelligence.As such, it is highly recommended forscholars of intelligence and security, as well as for history scholarsinterested in espionage and its military or political contexts. ...

Excellent book
This is part of a seminal history of the Navy in World War II.Anyone who is a historian should take some time and read this series.Sometimes dry, sometimes very well written, it gives the grand panorama to a naval war that rewrote the book on how the Navy would operate.A book that has been rewritten since. ...

Product Description
This book reveals the rich collection of mathematical works located at the nation's first military school, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. It outlines the relevant history of the Academy, discusses the mathematics department and curriculum, and describes the development of the library during the nineteenth century. A major part of this book is an annotated catalog of the more than 1300 works published between 1496 and 1915 found in the West Point library. Mathematics and its instruction greatly influenced the development of the Academy, the technological growth of America's army, and the standards of the military profession. These events, in turn, were crucial to the overall development of mathematics, mechanics, and engineering during the nineteenth century in the United States. Three individuals played a prominent role in this chronicle: Sylvanus Thayer, Charles Davies, and Albert Church. Listed are rare and historically valuable works in a broad range of mathematical subjects. The collection clearly shows the strong European influence on the early Academy. Also listed are numerous textbooks by West Point faculty and graduates; significant contributions were made by these writers to algebra, geometry, calculus, descriptive geometry, mechanics, surveying, and mathematics education. This book provides an important resource for the general audience as well as for those in pursuit of more scholarly information. It contains many interesting photographs and valuable details about the West Point collection. It is a must-have for anyone interested in mathematical books and collections. ... Read more

This is the most comprehensive bibliography to date on the vast English-language literature covering the myriad aspects of peace and security issues in the East Asia/Pacific region. McClean contacted 150 key research institutions and publishers around the world for information about the most significant books, articles, dissertations, and official documents on international and intra-state security, arms control, conflict-avoiding diplomacy, and militarization in the area. He has selectively annotated 12,645 cross-referenced entries and organized them into 27 sub-regional and country chapters including two particularly extensive chapters on Japan and China and two further chapters on relations between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, and on U.S. and Soviet policy. ...

Product Description
Many people don't realize that the Bush administration changed U.S. military policy, particularly towards Iraq, after the congressional elections of 2006. The start of the 110th Congress in 2007, and the shift in Congressional power, also coincided with the decline of the Rumsfeld-Cheney cabal that had been extremely influential in directing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and U.S. military policy in general, prior to that.******The emerging direction of the new U.S. military and defense policy is more pragmatic, less ideological and quietly (though not explicitly) recognizes the failure of policies in the earlier years of the current administration.******The man epitomizing this change more than any other is Robert M. Gates, the man who replaced Donald Rumsfeld as the U.S. Secretary of Defense. With vast experience in public service as well as in academia (he has lectured at Universities like Yale and Georgetown, and was the interim Dean of the Business School at Texas A&M just before being selected to replace Mr. Rumsfeld), he has quietly reversed a number of older policies and brought a much needed pragmatic approach to U.S. policies abroad.******He is also a lively speaker with a great sense of humor. Here are his speeches, as released by the U.S. Department of Defense, from his inauguration to February 2008-the key period when a lot of these changes in U.S. policies were taking place. These provide a valuable insight into where U.S. defense and military policies are headed during the remaining days of the Bush administration. ... Read more

Product Description
The more accurately a cost index captures a shipbuilder1s risk, the less the Navy should have to pay its shipbuilders. The Navy uses such indexes to correct for significant cost risks outside its shipbuilders1 control. A longtime material-cost index in Navy shipbuilding is the steel-vessel index, but it is outdated and volatile. The authors urge the Navy to develop a modern-vessel index that more appropriately represents the materials used today. ... Read more

Product Description
This work, together with Mickolus's Literature of Terrorism: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography, published in 1980, provides the most comprehensive bibliography on terrorist violence available in print. Terrorism, 1980-1987 concentrates on material written during the 1980s, a period which has seen an enormous outpouring of commentary and research on terrorism and terrorist attacks. In addition to surveying journalistic, social scientific, and traditional historical studies in some dozen languages, the book also includes the fictional literature of terrorism, offering a broad cross-section of research and opinion on the subject. The material is organized into sections based on region and functional categories, enabling the researcher to compare quickly developments in specific topics. Coverage ranges from general treatments of terrorism and tactics of terrorists to material that deals with the terrorist infrastructure, terrorism in specific geographic areas, and responses to terrorism. The compilers have made special efforts to include items from publications not often cited in terrorism studies, both to give the reader an indication of the breadth of material available and to offer insights into the pervasive effects of terrorism on all aspects of life. ...
