  The primary mission of military intelligence in the United States Army is to provide timely, relevant, accurate, and synchronized intelligence and electronic warfare support to tactical, operational and strategic-level commanders. The Army’s intelligence components produce intelligence both for Army use and for sharing across the national intelligence community. The military will subject someone to a polygraph for several reasons: If that person needs to access confidential files; if they are accused of leaking government secrets; if they are accused of terrorism or of being a spy; if they are a foreign national who needs access to classified material, and several other reasons. The following is a 1960s Army training recording with information on administering a lie detector test.

  Against the Odds - Women...

  Even in the third decade of the twenty-first century, it is still harder for women to make a career in science than men. Two centuries ago, however, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when science as we know it was just getting started, the situation was far worse. Then, the very notion of a female scientist would have been regarded as something of an oxymoron.
  
  
  
  From bestselling and award-winning science writers John and Mary Gribbin, Against the Odds highlights the achievements of women who overcame hurdles and achieved scientific success (although not always as much as they deserved) in spite of male prejudice, as society changed over about 150 years, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century.
  
  
  There is Eunice Newton Foote, who discovered the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect; Chien-Shiung Wu, who discovered the law which allows matter to exist in the Universe today; and Barbara McClintock, who discovered how genes turn on and off.
  
  
  With a foreword from astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell, this book is not only a cautionary tale about the stifling effects of prejudice against women in science, but is a celebration of those who achieved success against the odds - and an inspiration for the next generation.

  Nuclear and Particle Physics - A...

  Subatomic physics is the branch of physics that studies the fundamental particles and forces that constitute the universe at the smallest scales. It explores the nature of matter and energy at the level of atomic nuclei and beyond, delving into the complex interactions that govern the behavior of elementary particles. The study of subatomic physics emerged from the broader field of nuclear physics, which initially focused on the structure and properties of atomic nuclei. Over time, discoveries of new particles and interactions led to the expansion of the field into what is now known as particle physics. 
  The foundation of subatomic physics was laid with the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson in 1897, which provided the first evidence that atoms were composed of smaller constituent particles. This was followed by the discovery of the proton by Ernest Rutherford in 1917 and the neutron by James Chadwick in 1932, establishing the basic structure of the atomic nucleus. The development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century provided a theoretical framework for understanding the behavior of these particles, revealing that their properties could only be accurately described through probabilistic wave functions and discrete energy levels. 
  In the mid-20th century, the discovery of a wide variety of new particles, including mesons, baryons, and leptons, suggested that protons and neutrons themselves were composed of more fundamental constituents. This led to the development of the quark model by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig in 1964, which proposed that protons and neutrons are made up of combinations of quarks held together by the strong nuclear force, mediated by gluons. The quark model became a central component of the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the known elementary particles and the fundamental forces—excluding gravity—that govern their interactions.

  Conserving Nature in Greater...

  The story of how Yellowstone, established in 1872 as the world’s first national park, has become synonymous with nature conservation—and an examination of today’s challenges to preserve the region’s wilderness heritage. For more than 150 years, the Yellowstone region—now widely known as the twenty-three million acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—has played a prominent role in the United States’ nature conservation agenda. In this book, Robert B. Keiter, an award-winning public land law and policy expert, traces the evolution and application of fundamental ecological conservation concepts tied to Yellowstone.
   
  
  Keiter’s book highlights both the conservation successes and controversies connected with this storied region, which has been enmeshed in change. 
  But in the face of explosive human population growth and related development pressures, new efforts must also account for the region’s privately owned lands along with accelerating recreational activities that present quite different problems.
  
  Exploring both notable conservation accomplishments and the ongoing challenges confronting this special place, Keiter’s book explains the many forces—scientific, political, economic, legal, cultural, climatic, and more—at work driving controversy and change across the region. But more than this, Conserving Nature in Greater Yellowstone shows us that the lessons gleaned from Yellowstone’s expansive nature conservation efforts are profoundly important for both the country and the world.
