Strategic concepts and the theories they encourage and enable are discretionary intellectual constructions. Strategic concepts are not dictated to us, rather, we choose them and decide how they can serve as building blocks for the edifice of theory we prefer. When strategic theory is confusing, misleading, and not fit for its practical purposes of education and even advice, then it is akin to bad medicine that we take in the mistaken belief th...

In the summer of 1990, Southend had just clinched promotion to the Third Division under manager David Webb's leadership. Webb, a Chelsea legend in his playing days, spoke of his desire to oversee a second successive promotion into the unchartered territory of Division Two and make history at the same time. It was a bold claim from the manager and one that was not taken seriously by very many, but he believed in his team and himself. Webb...

Nora Brooke drowned last year. Her heart stopped: long enough to leave, deep inside, a shadow of death that opened her to other shadows. Coming to Holdfast Island for remedial school, Nora finds a garden in the woods: an old, overgrown prison yard. She enters by a gate that then vanishes, glimpses a restless figure who is suddenly gone, and finds thousands of blue flowers like watching eyes. She finds friends, especially irrepressible Ja...

The second part then draws out potential implications of these cul...

Charlie promised to be a "Big Shot, " as the press dubbed the nation's twenty-fifth nuclear weapons test. With a projected explosive yield equivalent to thirty-three kilotons of TNT, Charlie would be the largest test conducted to date at the Nevada Proving Ground, formerly-and again to be-the Nevada Test Site. Charlie also was big in the sense that for the first time a nuclear weapons test would be held as an "open" shot that allowed a signifi...

When the Soviet Union decided to invade Afghanistan, they evaluated their chances for success upon their experiences in East Germany, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Consequently, in Afghanistan the Soviet ...

This book is specifically designed as a guide to highway engineers. It was used as a textbook for the FHWA training courses on the above title.

A computer program is presen...

But remember this: the cracks that remain are wher...
