Dominance by Design - Inside the Elite Arsenal of Weapons That Redefine Modern War

Daniel W. Marshall

Sinopse

In an age where war is no longer won by numbers alone, Dominance by Design takes you deep inside the world’s most advanced and fearsome weapons. From underwater nuclear drones and hypersonic missiles to drone swarms and space-based deterrents, this book explores ten cutting-edge military technologies that no conventional force can defend against.
 
More than a catalog of machines, this is a critical investigation into how these weapons reshape strategy, diplomacy, and the psychology of power. Drawing from real-world military assessments, declassified reports, and geopolitical case studies, Daniel W. Marshall reveals how nations are engineering a monopoly on destruction—not just to fight wars, but to prevent them through overwhelming intimidation.
 
Whether you’re a policy analyst, a global affairs enthusiast, or a reader intrigued by the hidden architecture of modern conflict, this book will sharpen your understanding of how unmatchable firepower changes the rules of engagement. Balanced, bold, and richly detailed, Dominance by Design challenges you to consider: when firepower becomes untouchable, does peace become more likely—or less?

Andy Vickler

Book one:
If you are considering this line of work, it is important that you become familiar with what is currently available in the marketplace. While many companies simply want COBOL programmers to write codes that they can use, others will want a variety of specific tasks completed.
If you are looking for a new career and want something that will provide stability, then COBOL programming may be the right path for you.
Book two:
One of the reasons why COBOL programming is preferred over other languages is because of its versatility. COBOL can be used to program just about anything, depending on which library modules are selected for use in a particular program.
COBOL database interaction is a set of techniques that allow us to interact with databases. COBOL database interaction is used to retrieve, store, and modify specific records in a database table. It is done by modifying row values. This feature of COBOL allows us to perform everyday tasks, such as deleting or updating records in a database table, while restoring the original state of the data after the updated records have been deleted.
Book three:
This book provides basic principles and techniques for writing efficient high-level COBOL programs. It is also a practical guide to developing high-performance applications by optimizing both COBOL code and the application.
The book introduces essential concepts of performance analysis and optimization. It also covers many tools and techniques including some advanced techniques, such as parallelization, multiprocessing, virtual machines, and XML parsing. With the help of hands-on examples, real-world case studies, process maps, and a full-scale application, this book teaches professionals and students alike how to build high-performance applications using the latest techniques.

Global Burning - Rising...

Eve Darian-Smith

Recent years have seen out of control wildfires rage across remote Brazilian rainforests, densely populated California coastlines, and major cities in Australia. What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences. 
 
 
 
As political leaders and big business work together in the pursuit of profits and power, anti-environmentalism has become an essential political tool enabling the rise of extreme right governments and energizing their populist supporters. These are the governments that deny climate science, reject environmental protection laws, and foster exclusionary worldviews that exacerbate climate injustice. 
 
 
 
The widespread fires demand acknowledgment of the global systems of inequality that undergird them, connecting the political erosion of liberal democracy with the corrosion of the environment. In thinking through wildfires as environmental and political phenomenon, Global Burning challenges listeners to confront the interlocking powers that are ensuring our future ecological collapse.
