ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS INTO THE SECRET LIVES OF MILITARY FAMILIES! ... A PERFECT GIFT OF POETRY FOR MILITARY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND VETERANS!In her electric second collection, Lisa Stice (author of the previously published "Uniform," Aldrich Press, 2016) lovingly interrogates and illuminates life in a military family.Together with her toddler daughter and little dog Seamus, she explores the in-betweens of separation and connection, and the quest for finding one's place in the world.With humor and grace, Stice's signature style frequently involves the borrowing of words from texts she finds readily at hand, including quotations from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," and Dr. Seuss's "The Sneetches."In her new poems, the family¿s beloved Norwich Terrier also often appears as sentry, companion, and guide."Her close observations of childhood magic and household routines, quietly set against ever-present question-marks of war and displacement, are essential and timely insights into the modern military family experience," says the publisher."If you¿ve ever been a military kid, parent, or spouse¿regardless of age or era¿you¿ll find a welcome home in her words."

Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309489539
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.

Toxicological Carcinogenesis
Author: David B. Clayson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781420032727
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
How do we know if a chemical is carcinogenic? How accurate and relevant to humans are the current assays? With the increasing influx of chemicals in our food and environment, these questions become more critical everyday. Written by an expert with more than fifty years experience in this field, Toxicological Carcinogenesis gives you a balanced and authoritative treatment of the issues. The book provides a summary of the present knowledge of chemicals that induce cancer. The author avoids the overuse of technical jargon and explains scientific concepts clearly and succinctly. He has included an appendix containing bibliographic references, making the text easier to read and keeping the information available as a reference. He covers: How carcinogens are detected in humans using epidemiology, bioassays, and alternative approaches Agents leading to human cancer such as exposure due to occupation, cigarette smoking, and diet and nutrition Carcinogenesis mechanisms The use of legislation to control exposures to noxious agents. Toxicological Carcinogenesis fills a gap in the current literature by providing just enough background information to give a complete general overview of the subject. It explores the emerging debates that related to the potential chemical causes of cancer. In addition to the comprehensive coverage the book provides, it explains the potential problems caused by possible misinformation about chemical carcinogenesis.

Command Of The Air
Author: General Giulio Douhet
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1782898522
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.
