A military insider and top-level defence strategist presents a chilling picture of warfare in the Information Age: who, what and where the threats are coming from and what we can do to protect ourselves. When George W. Bush learned of the attack on the World Trade Centre, he turned to his aides and said 'you're seeing the face of war in the twenty-first century'. In THE NEW FACE OF WAR, former CIA analyst and senior defence consultant at RAND, Bruce Berkowitz paints a sobering picture of warfare in the information age. From the amorphous 'front lines' of this war, Berkowitz defines and identifies the new enemies. Citing examples from Kosovo, Afghanistan and the war on terrorism, he explains the development of these fighting networks - semi-autonomous cells of fighters armed with potent weapons and linked together by flexible, secure communications systems that can span the entire globe. While dissecting the essential features of this new cyberwar, were combatants use stealth to deploy weapons of mass destruction, Berkowitz argues that we must build crucial links between the government and the private sector, which controls most information systems and the worldwide flow of digital

Dag Hammarskjöld on the Art of Ethical Leadership

An accessible guide to the principles and vision of Dag Hammarskjöld, a man John F. Kennedy called "the greatest statesman of our century." Dag Hammarskjöld served as Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1953 until his tragic Dag Hammarskjöld served as secretary-general of the United Nations from 1953 until his tragic death in a suspicious plane crash in 1961. During those years he saw the fledgling international organization through numerous crises with skill that made him a star on the international stage. As readers of his now-classic diary, Markings, are aware, Hammarskjöld understood political leadership as an honor calling for resourcefulness, humility, moral clarity, and spiritual reflection. In this accessible handbook, acclaimed biographer Roger Lipsey details the political and personal code by which Hammarskjöld lived and made critical decisions. What emerges is the portrait of a man who struck a remarkable balance between patience and action, empathy and reserve, policy and people. Structured through short sections on themes such as courage, facing facts, and negotiation, Politics and Conscience offers a vision of ethical leadership as relevant today as it was in Hammarskjöld’s time.

A Thriller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, the latest riveting, deeply imaginative thriller in the Sigma Force series, told with his trademark blend of cutting-edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action. It begins in Africa . . . A United Nations relief team in a small village in the Congo makes an alarming discovery. An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a dull, catatonic state. The environment surrounding them--plants and animals--has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an exponential pace. The insidious phenomenon is spreading from a cursed site in the jungle -- known to locals as the Kingdom of Bones --and sweeping across Africa, threatening the rest of the world. What has made the biosphere run amok? Is it a natural event? Or more terrifyingly, did someone engineer it? Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force are prepared for the extraordinary and have kept the world safe, vigilance for which they have paid a tragic personal price. Yet, even these brilliant and seasoned scientific warriors do not understand what is behind this frightening development--or know how to stop it. As they race to find answers, the members of Sigma quickly realize they have become the prey. To head off global catastrophe, Sigma Force must risk their lives to uncover the shattering secret at the heart of the African continent--a truth that will illuminate who we are as a species and where we may be headed . . . sooner than we know. Mother Nature--red in tooth and claw--is turning against humankind, propelling the entire world into the Kingdom of Bones.

The War for a New World Order

A New World WarThere is a war underway for the souls of mankind and the future of the world. Two opposing visions of civilization, religion, morality and culture are clashing on battlefields across the globe - perhaps on the streets of a city near you. It is a war that is being waged at every level: military, religious, ideological, cultural, economic and demographic. Security forces, militant cells, religious leaders, scholars, analysts, artists, "lone-wolves" and ordinary citizens are being called upon to take sides and to take up arms to protect their way of life. An age of apocalyptic world war, it seems, is dawning across the world.This war is different than recent major conflicts; its origins goes back centuries, into the most deeply rooted myths and power structures of two great civilizations. It is not being fought over superficial differences of territory, tribe, political ideology or nationality, but over fundamental differences of worldview, religion and philosophy. As we shall show, it is in fact a war between two great world domination projects: the Islamic State and the Illuminati. This book is an attempt to make sense of this great global conflict, and to explain the players, stakes and ideas behind a deadly game that will no doubt define our world for many years to come.A Different PerspectiveMany books have been written about the conflict between Islamism, jihadism, al Qaeda, ISIS, etc. and the "West" or the "modern world". They often have sensationalist styles and read like propaganda for the "War on Terror" or apologetics for the global jihad. But few books have examined both sides of the conflict from a more neutral point of view, and sought to get at the deeper roots of the conflict. What exactly are the ideas, agendas and power structures of the Westernized world that the Islamists object to, and vice versa? Who are the main players driving the war? What are their histories, myths and metaphysical beliefs? What strategies and tactics are they using to achieve victory? This is not a "blame the West first" book of equivocations and apologetics; nor is it an "Islamophobic" screed about the evils of Islamic civilization; nor is it a book of Islamist propaganda. Rather, it is a calm inquiry into the deep power structures and ideologies that animate the militants on both sides, which I hope will give the reader a perspective they haven't encountered before. One thing I do know is this: in every conflict there are propagandists posing as objective analysts, and two sides to every story. I do not claim to be objective, but I do intend to cut through some of the propaganda and provide some insight into why both sides fight in the great conflict of our time: the war between the Islamists and the Illuminati for a New World Order.by The Dark Lords

The New Climate Science That Changes Everything

When it comes to global warming, most people think there are two camps: "alarmist" or "denier" being their respective pejoratives. Either you acknowledge the existence of manmade climate change and consider it a dire global threat, or you deny it exists at all. But there's a third group: the "lukewarmers." In Lukewarming: The New Climate Science that Changes Everything, Cato scholars Pat Michaels and Chip Knappenberger explain the real science and spin behind the headlines and come to a provocative conclusion: global warming is not hot--it's lukewarm. While that may not sound massive, it does, as the book's subtitle notes, change everything. Climate change is real, it is partially man-made, but it is clearer than ever that its impact has been exaggerated--with many of the headline-grabbing predictions now being rendered implausible or impossible. This new paperback edition of the book is a revised and expanded edition of last year's ebook-only edition of Lukewarming. This new edition includes updates in science and policy following the accords reached at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. It is an equally perfect book for those looking for an introduction to the climate debate, or veterans seeking the freshest science.

The Untold Story of Global Christianity

The twenty-first century has opened with a rapidly changing map of Christianity. While its influence is waning in some of its traditional Western strongholds, it is growing at a phenomenal pace in the global South. And yet this story has largely eluded the corporate news brokers of the West. Layered as it is with countless personal and corporate stories of remarkable faith and witness, it nevertheless lies ghostlike behind the newsprint and webpages of our print media, outside the camera's vision on the network evening news.Miriam Adeney has lived, traveled and ministered widely. She has walked with Christians in and from the far reaches of the globe. As she pulls back the veil on real Christians--their faith, their hardships, their triumphs and, yes, their failures--an inspiring and challenging story of a kingdom that knows no borders takes shape.This is a book that coaxes us out of our comfortable lives. It beckons us to expand our vision and experience of the possibilities and promise of a faith that continues to shape lives, communities and nations.
