US Naval Strategy and National Security
This book examines US naval strategy and the role of American seapower over three decades, from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. This study uses the concept of seapower as a framework to explain the military and political application of sea power and naval force for the United States of America. It addresses the context in which strategy, and in particular US naval strategy and naval power, evolves and how US naval strategy was developed and framed in the international and national security contexts. It explains what drove and what constrained US naval strategy and examines selected instances where American sea power was directed in support of US defense and security policy e...

Signals
She predicted the financial crisis. She predicted Brexit. She predicted Trump. Now Dr Pippa Malmgren shares the signals that will protect you from the next surprise. Drawing on a wonderful range of examples - from magazine covers and supermarkets to public protests - SIGNALS is the fascinating story of the world economy told in the language of everyday objects, places and events. Malmgren explains why the size of chocolate bars, steaks and apartments are shrinking, and why the increasing near misses between America's spy planes and the fighter jets of China and Russia are no coincidence. Rising costs and inflation are breaking the social contract between citizens and their states, causing the rise of anti-establishment voting, the return of social unrest to emerging markets and resistance to mass immigration. If the only solution is innovation, then the key question is whether governments support efforts to invest in the economy of tomorrow. Written with refreshing clarity, SIGNALS shows us who is already building the future and how to be part of it. 'Rather wonderful' FINANCIAL TIMES 'It will make you feel smart' EVENING STANDARD

Doch der Doppelmord stellt Hauptkommissarin Williamson sowie ihre Kollegen Grifo und Cohen vor einige Rätsel: Jemand hat zusätzlich brutal auf den Ehemann eingeschlagen. Warum? Hat es mit dem früheren Leben des Paares in Afrika zu tun? Je tiefer Williamson und ihr Team graben, desto weniger passt zusammen. Was die Hauptkommissarin allerdings zutage fördert, erschüttert sie bis ins Mark. Es lässt sie den Glauben an das Gute im Menschen verlieren. Und dann stellt sie auch noch fest, dass sie heimlich beobachtet und verfolgt wird ...
