Download or read book Deterrence written by Chris Adams and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While much has been written about the Cold War from the political, diplomatic and overall military perspective, very little has been written about the American warriors who fought and won the war. In Deterrence, Adams tells the story of the U.S. leaders, commanders, enlisted men of the U.S. military strategic nuclear forces that successfully defeated the Soviet war machine. This book goes a long way toward telling how and why the United States prevailed in the Cold War." - Keith D. McFarland, PhD, President Emeritus, Texas A&M University Commerce "In this notable work, Chris Adams has not only captured the essence of national security through vigilant deterrence, but clearly recognizes and honors the leaders, commanders, service members and families who played critical roles in the defense of our country." - Lt. General Edgar S. Harris, Jr. USAF, Retired Fmr Vice Commander-in Chief, Strategic Air Command "I had the privilege of serving with General Chris Adams in Strategic Air Command.During those critical years, SAC's charged "Cold Warriors" and their families were at the center of our deterrent force. Herein, Adams captures the critical mission and importance of those whose professional service behind the scenes made it possible to win the Cold War." - Jim McCoy, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Retired Few Americans recognized or paid close attention to the outset of the Cold War and thereafter its enduring years, mainly because it persisted for so long and few alarming situations intruded their daily lives. Only noteworthy events such as SPUTNIK, the shooting down of Gary Powers' U-2 spy plane and the Cuban Crisis brought the potentially threatening circumstances home, and then only briefly until other news items took their place. America has never fallen short of heroes when called upon for the common defense of the nation and the Cold War period of uncertainty called upon America's best and brightest to respond-national leaders, military commanders and an elite force of warriors trained with the most sophisticated war-fighting equipment U.S. technology could provide to create the strategy and deterrent force that endured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destiny had been alone for so long taking care of her parent farm since their death that she felt as if she would never know what being part of a family was again. She knew nothing of her heritage or what was to come in the days ahead. She was surrounded by silence and the loneliness that had become her very existence. Across the Sacred Forest hidden in his manor Dominic wallowed in self pity at the darkness that had taken over his life, his soul, and his household when he had lost his beloved wife Jasmine. If he only knew how that one bright light from his past would change his future. Their curse was an ancient one and he would never bring anyone else into his world again, but when a stranger ends up on his doorstep half frozen and bitten by a wolf, Dominic knew he had to help. He couldn't just let her die. He was sworn to help the innocent as a Guardian of the Mahigan Knights. Then he saw her and his world fell away. She was the spitting image of his beloved Jasmine. With heartache, intrigue, trial, and the power of love, Destiny and Dominic find their way to each other and their family watches as these soulmates are brought from their own darkness to their destiny.

Further sections provide a detailed study of our Solar System, as a basis for understanding exoplanetary systems, and a detailed study of the Earth as our only current example of a habitable planet.

Download or read book Destiny Or Chance written by Stuart Ross Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a leading planetary scientist, this engaging book tells the remarkable story of how our solar system came into existence and provides an expert tour of the Earth, its planetary neighbors and other planetary systems. In a whirlwind adventure, we explore how the formation of mighty Jupiter dominated the solar system, why Mars is so small, where comets come from, how rings form around planets, why asteroids exist and why Pluto isn't a planet at all. En route, we discover the role of chance events in shaping the course of the history of our solar system. Dramatic collisions, for example, caused the tilts and spins of the planets, the extinction of the dinosaurs and the rise of man. Finally, we look at how suitable Earth is for harboring life, what other planetary systems look like and whether we are alone in the cosmos. For all those interested in understanding our solar system and its place in the cosmos, this is a lucid and compelling read. Stuart Taylor is the recipient of numerous academic awards, including the Norman L. Bowen Award from the American Geophysical Union for his important contributions to our understanding of the origins and early history of the Earth and Moon. In 1997, Asteroid 5670 was named Rosstaylor in his honor. He is the author of Solar System Evolution (Cambridge, 1992).
