Technological innovations are key causal agents of surprise and disruption In the recent past, the United States military has encountered unexpected challenges in the battlefield due in part to the adversary's incorporation of technologies not traditionally associated with weaponry Recognizing the need to broaden the scope of current technology ожжьс forecasting efforts, the Office of the Director, Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) tasked the Committee for Forecasting Future Disruptive Technologies with providing guidance and insight on how to build a persistent forecasting system to predict, analyze, and reduce the impact of the most dramatically disruptive technologies The first of two reports, this volume analyzes existing forecasting methods and processes It then outlines the necessary characteristics of a comprehensive forecasting system that integrates data from diverse sources to identify potentially game-changing technological innovations and facilitates informed decision making by policymakers The committee's goal was to help the reader understand current forecasting methodologies, the nature of disruptive technologies and the characteristics of a persistent forecasting system for disruptive technology Persistent Forecasting of Disruptive Technologies is a useful text for the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, the Intelligence community and other defense agencies across the nation.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 114 стр ISBN 0309116600.

The industrialization of Canada's Subarctic relied upon the region's large northwestern lakes: Winnipeg, Athabasca, Great Slave, and Great Bear Between 1921 and 1960, these lakes comprised a seam in the Canadian interior where industrial economies took root, transgressing political geographies and superseding the historically dominant ожжэв fur trade The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada reveals the history of human impact upon the North It provides a baseline, grounded in historical and scientific evidence, for measuring environmental change in the Subarctic Liza Piper examines the sustainability of industrial economies, the value of resource exploitation in volatile ecosystems, and the human consequences of northern environmental change She also addresses northern communities' historical resistance to external resource development and their fight for survival in the face of intensifying environmental and economic pressures --Liza Piper is an assistant professor of history at the University of Alberta -.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 424 стр ISBN 0774815337.

The greatest computer ever built is less than 7 in long and weighs less than 3 lb It has no moving parts and makes not a sound And yet it is the home of dreams, of songs, of wisdom, of philosophy, of love, of awareness itself The greatest computer ever built is, of course, the human brain For almost as long as we've been thinking creatures, we've wondered ожжэд about the galaxy of experiences, emotions and insights that lives within every one of us You have your heart; you have your limbs You are your brain The editors and writers of TIME invite you to explore that wondrous place that is the seat of your being What does science tell us about how we learn, how we mature, why our minds grow old? How does memory work--and why does it so often fail to work? How can babies learn multiple languages before they're 5 years old, while adults must struggle for years to master a single new one? What does it mean to be a genius? What does it mean merely to be conscious? These and other questions are being explored by investigators across the sciences, and TIME has gone out in search of them At labs and universities around the world, researchers are gaining new understanding of the differences between the brains of men and women, the neurochemical magic behind feelings of romance, the mystery of good and evil They are learning new things about addictions and disorders and the myriad ways minds can break down And they are learning how to fix them too The Brain: A User's Guide will give you a whole new view of how your brain works and ways you can use that understanding to help yourself become wiser, happier, even healthier You will never think of the world inside your head the same way again.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 144 стр ISBN 1603200940.

The Cold War was never this hot! We live in interesting times The biggest western economic institutions are crumbling, what were once marginalized voices are now dominating international negotiations, and touchstone climate events, such as the monsoon, are failing Everywhere you look economic, geopolitical and environmental assumptions ожжэй are being shaken to the core The world is changing Fast Global Warring examines these trends by combining insightful economic and political analysis with the most likely environmental change scenarios It identifies problem areas that could start conflicts (access to water and resources in Asia), economic trends that are shifting the balance of power (China’s policy of nationalistic capitalism), and geopolitical realignments (the burgeoning strategic partnership between the United States and India) Award-winning writer and geopolitical expert Cleo Paskal makes sense of this overwhelming topic by dividing it into five sections: how seemingly impervious western nations, such as the United States, are shockingly vulnerable to hurricanes, storm surges and rising sea levels, and what that could mean for their internal stability and economic development; how the thawing Arctic is opening up a whole new arena for power politics as some of the world’s biggest countries wrangle for control over vast resources, strategic shipping routes such as the Northwest Passage and geopolitical leverage; how changing precipitation patterns, extreme weather and water shortages are creating severe disruptions in India and China, and how that could affect their relations with each other, and the world; how rising sea levels may shift borders and alter the very notion of statehood, potentially challenging international law to the breaking point; and, finally, what could happen in coming decades, and how to avoid the worst of it Paskal combines ten years of research; the latest findings from the Hadley Centre and the United Nations; and interviews with top political, security and economic strategists with her own extensive travel as a foreign correspondent The result is a penetrating, accessible, compelling, and chilling reminder that Global Warring is not only coming, it’s here "In a clear, comprehensive and alarming analysis, Cleo Paskal underlines the geopolitically disruptive potential of climate change Arguably this is the biggest challenge to human society since the Ice Age or the Black Death and it is not clear we are any readier to respond adequately to ours than were our unfortunate ancestors to theirs " -- Guy Stanley, Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 288 стр ISBN 1552638308.

The Earth's environment is interlaced with complex, constructed ecological pathways that link industrial facilities and human consumers Nowhere is this truer than on the Japanese archipelago During the nineteenth century, Japan saw the rise of Homo sapiens industrialis, a new breed of human who was transformed by an engineered, industrialized, ожж and poisonous environment Toxins moved freely through mines, factory sites, and rice paddies and more directly into human bodies Toxic Archipelago explores the relationship between the causes of colossal toxic pollution and the manner in which pain caused by pollution insults porous human bodies Brett Walker examines startling case studies of industrial toxins that know no boundaries: a killer pollution from insecticide saturations; poisonings from copper, zinc, and lead mining; congenital deformities from methylmercury factory effluents; and lung diseases from sulfur dioxide and asbestos This powerful and thoughtful book demonstrates a deep understanding of how the Japanese archipelago has become industrialized over the last two hundred years and the human and environmental consequences of that transformation.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 352 стр ISBN 0295989548.

In recent years the field of cognitive aging has flourished and expanded into many different disciplines It is probably, therefore, inevitable that some of the research has become very narrow, primarily focused on "counting and classifying the wrinkles of aged behavior," rather than addressing more broad, general, and important ожжыю questions Timothy Salthouse's main goal in this book is to try to identify some of the major phenomena in the field of cognitive aging, and discuss issues relevant to the investigation and interpretation of them He does not attempt to provide a comprehensive survey of the research literature on aging and cognition because many excellent reviews are available in edited handbooks His principal aim is rather to stimulate readers to think about the big questions in cognitive aging research, and how they might best be answered.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 256 стр ISBN 0195372158.

An Understanding of How Science has Conditioned the World to think Hypothesis, Theories and Supposition are Factual and Unchallengeable, specifically in areas of Radiocarbon Dating and Long Period Time Clocks, Geologic Epochs and the Geologic Column, The Big Bang Singularity and the Red-Shifted Expanding Universe, and in Universal and Organic ожжьд Evolution, while at the same time, refuting the evidences for a Short Term Formation of the Earth, a World-Wide Flood, and The Division of the Earth While there is a 6,000-year-old written history depicting events relevant to this knowledge, scientists reject the information out of hand; however, in understanding this early text, one can come to a better, much clearer understanding of such things as how the Universe and Earth were formed, and under what principles this took place One thing is certain in all this ancient knowledge, this world is not 4 55 billion years old as scientists like to claim, though some of the materials used in its formation may well be that old or older However, the organization of this planet as a whole took place in a relatively short period of time and has existed in its present form for far less than science believes While this argument generally centers between those who believe in the evolutionary force that created all things visible in nature, and those who believe in a force outside nature as a chief architect of all things in nature-the bottom line to any belief should be the truth This work centers on beliefs vs facts, resistance to knowledge and acceptance of knowledge, and of an understanding of how things happened based on the Laws of Physics as opposed to some force operating outside those laws, that has no explanation and no testable factors outside unproven and unprovable hypotheses.  2010 г Мягкая обложка, 578 стр ISBN 1449974996.

Intention was seen traditionally as a philosophical concept, before being debated more recently from psychological and social perspectives Today the cognitive sciences approach intention empirically, at the level of its underlying mechanisms This naturalization of intention makes it more concrete and graspable by empirical sciences This ожжьр volume offers an interdisciplinary integration of current research on intentional processes naturalized through action, drawing on the theoretical and empirical approaches of cognitive neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and sociology Each chapter integrates several disciplinary perspectives Taken together, the chapters show that the reunification of the different dimensions of intentional processes may constitute an adequate basis for a general model of intentional processes and their links to action This can be applied at various levels, from neuronal activity to self-constitution, from the expression of intentional actions at the individual level to their expression in social contexts, and to the recognition of intention in actions executed by others Contributors: Colin Allen, Mireille Bonnard, Vittorio Gallese, Jozina B de Graaf, Franck Grammont, Patrick Haggard, Marco Iacoboni, Dorothee Legrand, Pierre Livet, Albert Ogien, Jean Pailhous, Jean-Luc Petit, Jean-Michel Roy, Jessica A Sommerville, Manos Tsakiris, Amanda L Woodward A Bradford Book.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 352 стр ISBN 0262013673.
