Analyzing Intelligence
Drawing on the individual and collective experience of recognized intelligence experts and scholars in the field, Analyzing Intelligence provides the first comprehensive assessment of the state of intelligence analysis since 9/11. Its in-depth and balanced evaluation of more than fifty years of U.S. analysis includes a critique of why it has under-performed at times. It provides insights regarding the enduring obstacles as well as new challenges of analysis in the post-9/11 world, and suggests innovative ideas for improved analytical methods, training, and structured approaches. The book's six sections present a coherent plan for improving analysis. Early chapters examine how intelligence an...
Meditation in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Meditative practices have flourished in widely different parts of Eurasia, yet historical research on such practices is limited. Research to date has focused on contexts rather than actual practices, and within individual traditions. For the first time in one volume, the meditative practices of the three traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are examined. They are viewed in a global perspective, considering both generic and historical connections to practices in other traditions, particularly in India and East Asia. Their cultural and historical peculiarities are examined, comparing them both to each other and to Asian forms of meditation. The book builds on a notion of meditation as self-administered techniques for inner transformation, a definition which focuses on transformative practice rather than notions of meditative states and mystical experiences. It proposes ways of studying meditative practice historically, and concludes with an essay on the modern scientific interest in meditation.
Electroshock : Healing Mental Illness
Electroshock therapy has long suffered from a controversial and bizarre public image, effectively removing it as a treatment option for many patients. In Electroshock, Max Fink, M.D., draws on 45 years of clinical and research experience to argue that ECT is now a safe, painless, and sometimes life-saving treatment for emotional and mental disorders. Dr. Fink traces the development of ECT from its discovery in 1934 followed by widespread use for two decades, to the 1950s when it was largely replaced by the introduction of psychotropic drugs, to its revival in the past twenty years as a viable treatment. He provides actual case studies of patients who have been treated with ECT and illustrate...
Indefinite Doubt
The threat has been stopped, and the architect of retribution is under lock and key. The future begins now. But a madman’s obsession can’t be so easily quelled. In a span of months, Grayson Holmes’ life has been rewritten. His greatest grief healed, his guarded heart blessed, his career path jostled, and his once hollow house made into a home. In a span of months, Kipling Branson’s life has been rewritten. She left a normal, contented, and rewarding life in Boston to move to London and begin a new career – a new life –with Grayson Holmes. The psychotic pursuit of revenge will tear them apart again. Langdon Howell played the long game, and he wants nothing less than to crush Grayson’s soul. If that means tormenting Kipling until she breaks or punishing Grayson until he accepts Howell’s truth, then so be it. Betrayal cuts deep. Allies are enemies. In the end, will the reality of Grayson’s life be more than Kipling can accept? Will their love be strong enough or will their hearts be broken? In the end… any truth is better than indefinite doubt.
Critical Thinking and Intelligence Analysis
This National Defense Intelligence College publication defines critical thinking in the context of intelligence analysis, explains how it influences the entire intelligence process, explores how it toughens the art of intelligence analysis, suggests how it may be taught, and deduces how analysts can be persuaded to adopt this habit. "David Moore has added his powerful voice to those calling for America's intelligence analysts to be more self-conscious about their methods and more venturesome in applying more formal methods." - Gregory F. Treverton, Rand Corp. "...a valuable initiative on behalf of the Intelligence Community" - Francis J. Hughes, National Defense Intelligence College.
