Beyond Horizons: A Half Century of Air Force Space Leadership is a study of the United States Air Force in space. Of all the military services, the Air Force has been preeminently involved for the past fifty years in initiating, developing, and applying the technology of space-based systems in support of the nation's national security. Yet there has been no single-volume overview of the Air Force space story to serve as an introduction and guide for interested readers.

This book tells the story of the origins and development of the United States Air Force's space program from its earliest beginnings in the post Second World War period to its emergence as a critical operational presence in the Persian Gulf War.

The purpose of Guide for Preventing and Responding to School Violence is to present different strategies and approaches for members of school communities to consider when creating safer learning environments.

During the past decade there has been an explosion in computation and information technology. With it have come vast amounts of data in a variety of fields such as medicine, biology, finance, and marketing. The challenge of understanding these data has led to the development of new tools in the field of statistics, and spawned new areas such as data mining, machine learning, and bioinformatics. Many of these tools have common underpinnings but are often expressed with different terminology.

Many investors seek out safe, fixed-rate investments, especially ones that can boost the interest they earn. You, too, may be looking for sound investments that pay better than average interest to generate income or meet the needs of your overall investing plan.

The continuing crisis has been exceptional in its intensity and global reach.

To millions of people in the world, rice is the center of existence, especially in Asia, where more than 90 per cent of the world's rice is grown. This book is about the trends and changes that have occurred in the Asian rice economy since World War II, but particularly since the introduction of new varieties of rice and modern technology in the mid-1960s.

Although there is now a vast amount of literature and statistical data on various aspects of the subject, no single comprehensive treatment has previously been prepared. "The Rice Economy of Asia" not only provides such a treatment but also presents a clear picture of some of the critical issues dealing with productivity and equity - as a glance at the table of contents will show.

In an ever more networked world, the cyber vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure pose challenges to governments and owners and operators in every sector and across the globe.
