Sinopsis

From missile launch sites to Soviet espionage, experience the Cold War deep in the heart of Texas.In an era when miscalculation or a mistake could lead to global annihilation, Texas operated 12 Atlas F intercontinental ballistic missile launch sites near Abilene's Dyess Air Force Base. Nuclear-capable Nike Hercules surface-to-air antiaircraft missiles protected Austin and the Metroplex from a Soviet bomber attack. An American pilot stationed at Laughlin Air Force Base near Del Rio was the only fatality of the Cuban Missile Crisis. After he was accused of spying for the Soviet Union, former Ranger College professor Maurice Halperin fled the country. Amarillo's Pantex plant, where three employees died in a 1977 explosion, maintains the security and reliability of the nation's nuclear weapons arsenal. Landry Brewer explores how the Lone Star State shaped American Cold War policy.

    Welcome to exploring this extraordinary audiobook in which you will learn about the use of cannabis as a therapy for patients with autism spectrum disorders. 
    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological dysfunction of neurobiological origin with developmental initiation in childhood. ASD affects the development of social communication and behavior, with repetitive and restricted behaviors and interests. It is characterized by a chronic evolution, with different degrees of affectation, functional adaptation, and affecting language and intellectual development, depending on the case and evolutionary moment. 
    According to the WHO statistical rate, one in 160 children has an autism spectrum disorder globally. This estimate represents an average figure, as the observed predominance varies considerably between studies. However, some controlled studies have reported much higher figures. The prevalence of ASD in many low- and middle-income countries is so far unknown. Therefore, there is a greater need to address new therapeutic alternatives such as medical cannabis to manage and control this disorder to improve the quality of life for sufferers and their families. 
    In this audiobook, you will understand how cannabinoids could effectively treat patients diagnosed with this disorder. You will learn about the history, epidemiology, causes, characteristics, how it is classified, what signs patients will have, and how it is diagnosed. You will also learn about the incredible endocannabinoid system, its receptors, its homeostatic-physiological functions, dosage of cannabis-derived medicine, its beneficial and adverse effects. Some clinical studies show that cannabis phytocannabinoids, especially CBD; can work as a therapy to reduce or improve some symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. 
    We invite you to learn more about the use of medical cannabis in this disorder. Enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

    In Homegrown, cultural critics Bell Hooks and Amalia Mesa-Bains reflect on the innate solidarity between Black and Latino culture. Riffing on everything from home and family to multiculturalism and the mass media, Hooks and Mesa-Bains invite listeners to re-examine and confront the polarizing mainstream discourse about Black-Latino relationships that is too often negative in its emphasis on political splits between people of color. A work of activism through dialogue, Homegrown is a declaration of solidarity that rings true even ten years after its first publication. 
     
    This new edition includes a new afterword, in which Mesa-Bains reflects on the changes, conflicts, and criticisms of the last decade.

    One of the most difficult security challenges of the post–Cold War era has been stabilizing failing states in an era of irregular warfare. A component of the strategy to address this problem has been security force assistance where outside powers train and advise the host nation's military. Despite billions spent, thousands of advisors, and innumerable casualties, the American efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq failed. Among those colossal military disasters were pockets of success. 
     
     
     
    Frank K. Sobchak explores security force assistance across five case studies, examining what factors were most critical for U.S. Special Forces units to build capable partners. The book assesses the impact of five components of Special Forces advisory missions: language training and cultural awareness; the partner force-to-advisor ratio; the advisors' ability to organize host-nation forces; whether advisors are permitted to guide in combat; and the consistency in advisor pairing. 
     
     
     
    Sobchak argues that the most crucial factors in producing combat-effective partners are consistency in advisor pairing and maintaining a partner force-to-advisor ratio of twelve special forces soldiers advising a company-sized force or smaller. Many of these findings could be used to improve the odds of success for larger security-force assistance missions.
