  Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. 
   
   
   
  What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today's generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri Goodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military's fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.

  Secrets Beneath the Quicksand -...

  Quicksand has captivated human imagination for centuries. The very mention of the word conjures images of perilous, sinking terrain—an unpredictable force of nature that can drag the unsuspecting into its depths. Whether through its portrayal in popular culture or through whispered warnings of its presence in remote areas, quicksand has become synonymous with danger. However, while it holds a certain allure in our collective consciousness, the science behind it remains less understood, adding to its mystique and intrigue. 
    
  Historically, quicksand has been a feature of many adventure tales and thrillers, often depicted as a life-threatening trap that can ensnare anyone who ventures too close. In movies, books, and TV shows, it serves as an almost mythical obstacle, a place where time seems to stand still as one struggles to escape. These portrayals, however, often exaggerate the severity of quicksand’s danger, leading to misconceptions about its true nature. It’s important to acknowledge that while quicksand is indeed dangerous, it is rarely as deadly as it is made out to be in stories. Yet, the fascination it generates is undeniable, and its mysterious qualities continue to inspire both fear and curiosity. 
    
  The allure of quicksand is not just in its danger, but also in the mystery surrounding its behavior. Unlike ordinary land, quicksand behaves in a way that seems to defy common understanding. Its unique blend of sand, water, and clay creates a substance that can feel deceptively solid, only to give way under pressure. This paradox—the appearance of solid ground hiding a treacherous, fluid-like trap—adds to its power to intrigue and intimidate.
