Proponents of the American Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) have argued it will reduce or eliminate the fog and friction of war. Watts wants to examine whether or not those concepts will succumb to technologically driven change, or are there aspects of fog and friction that technology can only marginally affect?

Watts comes to three conclusions:
1. That friction has built-in or structural features that technology can only marginally affect;
2. whether one side or the other can reduce friction via technology, "is less important than whether such advances facilitate being able to shift the RELATIVE balance of friction between opponents more in one's favor; and
3. bringing Clausewitz's concepts up-to-date, "is a useful step toward better understanding its likely role in future war regardless of what one may conclude about the possibility of either side largely eliminating its frictional impediments." (p. 4-5)

Watts argues that there is good reason to believe that introducing information technologies into future war will not eliminate fog and friction, but, "will simply give rise to new and unexpected manifestations." (p. 128)

One of Watt's significant conclusions is that, "it is the DIFFERENTIAL between two sides' levels of general friction that matters in combat outcomes. If what counts in real war is not the absolute level of friction that either side experiences but the RELATIVE FRICTIONAL ADVANTAGE of one adversary over the other, then the question of using technology to reduce friendly friction to near zero can be seen for what it is: a false issue that diverts attention from the real business of war." (p. 132)

The editors have really done a fantastic job of compiling psychopharm data into one reference. The reference covers medications by category and class using tons of tables and a standardized layout that allows one to contrast and compare. The "extra touches," such as tables of drug interactions, tables listing the effects of each med on specific neuroreceptors, and tables listing the freq of adverse reactions, make this reference a gem. Several other wonderful things have been thrown in as well--a section on ECT, a section on herbal products, and a patient information sheets that can be copied and passed on to patients. In summary, this reference provides a clear and concise view of psychotropic meds. A must buy!

Once Kalyna et. al bring us a great quick reference book. This is the second edition of the Clinical handbook of psychotropic drugs for children and adolescents and it keeps the same up to date information on all the psychotropics used in this population.
This handbook is a "must have" book for every one that treats children and adolescent swho are on psychotropics. Nowadays there many of these drugs and their benefits are manytimes life-saving.
This is a great book!
I'm already looking forward for the next edition!

The aspects that were enlightening have been presented to us through the combined efforts of researchers who truly reflected on the best interests of humanity. These dedicated individuals recognized the properties of the brain that are so negatively affected by the ravages of cocaine, in addition to displaying their sincerity in enabling the American populace to recognize the truth as it pertains to the devastation on the unborn, following them into their early years and, finally, the horrendous outcome as it displays learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, anger and aggression issues. This book is a must for those who are attempting to solve a mystery concerning the deficits that are growing clearer regarding our youth, and what we may be looking forward to pertaining to the future of America. I highly recommend this book as, while it is an expose (and exceedingly well written) on the negative effects on the brain of the developing fetus, it is a composite of well-documented research efforts by scientists who clearly recognize a need toward deeper evaluative efforts concerning the issue of brain damage. This information doesn't conflict at all with research in other areas of psychological knowledge-gathering exposes.

During the second world war, the communists did set a very large spy ring operating against the Nazis which the head of the Gestapo Heydrich gave the name of Red Orchestra.

The French group of Trepper got liquidated between the autumn 1941 and August 1942, the Belgium group of Victor "Kent" Sukulov in December 1941 and the "Bordo" group in July/August 1942. The "Hilda" Dutch ring fell in August 1942, and the German ring of Harro Schulze-Boysen 'Choro" was exterminated at about the same period and just before the "Arwid" group of Arvid Harnak. The Swiss Dora group of Sandor Rado, ALexander Foote, and Rudof Roessler was stopped for some time as from 1943 by Masson the head of Swiss Intelligencce Service.

Nowadays the incredible history of the Red Orchestra, which surpasses fiction, is twisted by politics (communists, ex-nazis, democrats...), by nationalistic aspects (Russians, French, Swiss, Belgians, Germans) and by the Allied victors. There are accounts by surviving actors (Trepper, Rado, Roeder, Foote, Puenter, Sudoplatov...) There are however, to this day, only three serious purely historical relations: the CIA report, V. E. Tarrant's book and Heinz Hoehne's account. The German historian has supplied the most accurate and exhaustive account on this incredible spy ring.

Pierre Accoce and Pierre Quet's book made romantic assumptions which were demonstrated ot be false and the author had to admit their fabrications. K. Bienal and L. Krausher focused on the German branch of the spy ring. Louis Kilzer's work is fascinating but it makes an assumption it doesn't succeed sustaining. Gilles Perrault is too focused on the Franco-Belgium part of the Orchestra. Anthony Read and David Fisher are trying to recuperate the Red Orchestra for Ultra which for some British writers was the second world war "deus ex machina". Some other interesting books are written in German or in French and are not translated.

Heinz HOEHNE'S book is the most accurate of the books on the Red Orchestra. Read it first, and then read some books by the actors: first Leopold Treper, then Sandor Rado, then Alexander Foote and then Otto Puenter.

After that, if you still have question, you can go for details in the CIA and Tarrant books. We are taught that this the network illustrates a great victory for the allies, but reading through these books tend to show that it was a drama for us and a great victory for Walter Schellenberg's Nazi counter-espionage, and Heinrich Mueller's Gestapo boutchers.

With Kilzer and Perrault's books, this is the most pleasant book to read on the subject. Don't miss it.

As a research student, I find this book essential, easy to read and understand. It gives great references and detailed information concerning solid phase synthesis and major tools in combinatorial chemistry. Great book to have in the laboratory shelf right next to the working bench for quickly looking up information concerning a resin description or a particular synthetic approach.

This is a fantastic resource for anyone who teaches commedia. It has a number of scripts that are in scenario and script versions which is excellent for showing students the difference between a scenario and a script and also excellent for giving students a chance to "get the flavour" of commedia by using the scripts and then experimenting with the scenarios.
The second section of the book has a detailed account of lazzi and how to perform them. The aforementioned scripts refer to moments where these lazzi may be integrated into performance.
I highly reccommend this text to any teacher of high school commedia!

This is a richly detailed, fascinating look at the organization of the social groups known as "hippie communes". This book examines a number of these communities that existed in Vermont and Western Massachusetts during the 1960's and 1970's. The book focuses on a confrontation between the laid-back "Jackson's Meadows" commune and the more aggressive and regimented "Krishna Brethren" commune over a piece of land in Vermont. I personally lived with the pseudonymous "Krishna Brethren" as a young teenager during 1970-1975 and personally witnessed some of the events and all of the locales mentioned in the book. The writer's impartial description of the drama was a real eye opener for someone like me who was too young at the time to fully grasp the psychological and political issues that were invoked by the conflict. I do recall how the rival group was demonized by the Krishna Brethren during some of their lectures and Meetings, especially when the JM leader refused to capitulate to the Brethren's demands. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the commune movements of the late sixties and early seventies. For anyone who lived with the communities described, this book is a MUST READ!!

These three books are invaluable pocket references that are filled with everything you need to know about dealing with the media and effective communication. There are even a set of ready responses to difficult questions from the media. Meaty content with some humor. Once I saw them I ordered them right away!
