Book Description
U.S Army captain and recruiting commander Kevin Callahan is stabbed to death, his body is found in a guardhouse at Hudson Technical University, a small private engineering school located in College Heights, a decayed community in New York's Hudson River Valley. The message left on Callahan's shirt reads, "No more lies." The news media and pro-military and anti-war activists believe the murder was committed in opposition to unethical army recruiting. Angered by the biased media coverage and bothered by the army's deference to the civilian investigators in the Orange County sheriff's office, Callahan's uncle, Philadelphia area urban planner Jack Donnelly, wants to conduct his own investigation. He is not afraid to step on toes in College Heights, a community where town-gown relations have reached their worst. Fearing Donnelly's investigation will further embarrass the university, but, desperately needing his help to save her school, Hudson Tech president Martina Tiernan asks him to become her special assistant for campus planning. While Jack believes that Tiernan is trying to buy his silence, he reluctantly comes aboard. He learns that the murder is the lynchpin to a larger scheme that could close Hudson Tech's doors for good.

Book Description
This book interrogates the often controversial civil-military relations debate in Zimbabwe. The study argues that, theoretically, Civil-Military Relations (CMR) describes the relationship between civil society as a whole and the military organization or organizations established to protect it. More narrowly, it describes the relationship between the civil authority of a given society and its military institutions. Studies of civil-military relations often rest on a normative assumption that civilian control of the military is preferable to military control of the state. This text demonstrates the complexity of relationship between military institutions and civic societies particularly in developing countries. The methodology employed here is a mixture of internationally recognised scholarly works supplemented by extensive interviews arising from international benchmarking with similar institutions worldwide. This coherent and accessible book brings the history of civil military relations up to date, exploring a variety of perspectives and newly emerging practices in developing countries whose experience in this field is relatively new in both theory and practice.

Book Description
How has the Ontario Agricultural College contributed to Canadian education? What role has the college played in the development of agriculture since it was founded in 1874? This history of Canada’s oldest agricultural college revolves around these two questions. It shows that the college’s mandate has changed in its attempt to serve both education and agriculture. The Ontario Agricultural College was established to enshrine science in farming, but it also became the testing and extension arm of the provincial ministry of agriculture. Direct government control for ninety years provided financial resources not enjoyed by other post-secondary schools, but the results sometimes proved of greater benefit to agriculture than to education or science. Swept into the University of Guelph when it was created in 1964, the college rethought its role. It emerged as a centre for advanced scientific inquiry, for global agricultural programs, and for understanding rural societies. The controversies surrounding these changes and the evolving nature of agriculture and science are brought out fully in this account of the past century and a quarter.
