Dreams in Myth, Medicine, and Movies
Authors: Packer Sharon 
Published: May 2024

Cinema—invented just before psychoanalysis formally developed—primed the public and scholars to rethink ideas about dreams. The author describes how surrealist artists purposely applied Freudian dream theories to their art to make the public aware of modern ideas about dreams. Most of our current cultural consciousness about the psychological value of dreams is traced to classical and contemporary cinema. This work examines how residuals of past approaches to dreams make conceptions of dreams in psychoanalysis and science more complex than ever today.
Scholars and students in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, cinema, medicine, and religion may find this volume useful. The book also examines academic psychiatry's increased emphasis in dream study on neuropsychiatry and psychopharmocology, as well as managed care's decreased compensation for dream therapy.
Energy
Authors: Dukert Joseph M. 
Published: May 2024

Energy: We want it affordable, we want it available in ample quantities and from reliable sources, and we want it to be produced and used in ways that are safe and environmentally benign. In other words, we want plenty of energy too cheap to meter and with no impact on the environment. Ha! With a refreshing lack of bias, this book dissects all major sources of energy, from oil and coal to renewables like solar and wind power. In an easy, understandable style, energy expert Joseph Dukert explains how each fits into the overall global energy mix that powers everything from automobiles and appliances to assembly lines and space stations.
As Dukert details, all energy sources have pluses and minuses. Those who champion any single energy source (or even energy efficiency by itself) as the sole answer to our energy problems are off track, he argues, as are the cynics who condemn one source or another or pooh-pooh the threat of global warming. In short, we need every significant source of energy we have today, while also making greater efforts to improve the efficiency of energy production and energy consumption.
Dukert also explores the choices made by individuals, businesses, and society as each group juggles conflicting, interconnected factors: affordability, reliability, adequacy of supply, environmental concerns, and time. In explaining why there's no magic bullet solution to the energy crisis, the author blends simple technical descriptions, economics, and real-world politics. Besides providing a cogent overview of a huge—and hugely important—industry, this short, comprehensive volume helps readers decide for themselves which choices are in their best interest. As Dukert suggests, energy independence is probably not a realistic goal for any country, but the search for a dynamic, practical energy balance can nonetheless result in a wiser national energy policy.

Information Operations-Doctrine and Practice
Authors: Paul Christopher 
Published: May 2024

A no-nonsense treatment of information operations, this handbook makes clear what does and does not fall under information operations, how the military plans and executes such efforts, and what the role of IO ought to be in the war of ideas. Paul provides detailed accounts of the doctrine and practice of the five core information operations capabilities (psychological operations, military deception, operations security, electronic warfare, and computer network operations) and the three related capabilities (public affairs, civil-military operations, and military support to public diplomacy). The discussion of each capability includes historical examples, explanations of tools and forces available, and current challenges faced by that community. An appendix of selected excerpts from military doctrine ties the work firmly to the military theory behind information operations.
Paul argues that contemporary IO's mixing of capabilities focused on information content with those focused on information systems conflates apples with the apple carts. This important study concludes that information operations would be better poised to contribute to the war of ideas if IO were reorganized, separating content capabilities from systems capabilities and separating the employment of black (deceptive or falsely attributed) information from white (wholly truthful and correctly attributed) information.
Managing Economic Development in Asia
Authors: Liou Kuotsai 
Published: May 2024

From 1965 to 1990, the 23 East Asian economies grew faster than all other regions of the world. The high-performing economies of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia experienced low and declining levels of income inequality as well. The June 1997 financial crisis has challenged these economies. Many of the high-performing economies have experienced serious problems, including falls in currency and equity markets, significant slowdowns in international trade, and setbacks in economic growth. Emphasizing the role of government and the importance of managing development, this book provides an overview of the major impact of the financial crisis on selected Asian countries and of the development policies implemented.
Examining the experience of managing economic development, the book includes contributed chapters on China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, and Southeast Asia. It will be a useful resource for scholars, students, and those researching Asian economic development.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Authors: Bruns Roger A. 
Published: May 2024

There has been recent controversy in the African American community about youth and their lack of appreciation for the gains of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. This stellar biography is a superb introduction to the foremost leader of the civil rights movement. The story and historical context will be eye-opening for students and a good refresher for others who are too young to have remembered the events. In a gripping narrative style, the biography traces the young Martin, the son and grandson of formidable preachers, to his calling as a minister too, but one who would take on the entrenched racism of the South, and North, through a nonviolent movement that changed the course of American history.

King's story is compelling, starting from his early nurtured family life in an insular community of blacks in Atlanta. His education at Morehouse College, Crozer Theological Seminary, and Boston University and courtship of Coretta Scott lead into the early days of the civil rights movement and King's leadership role in the major marches, demonstrations, boycotts, and sit-ins that took place, mainly in the South. Critical insight into the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations is given as King negotiates with the presidents for equal rights for blacks. The violent reactions against and hatred of many whites for those seeking racial justice are still shocking today. Against the backdrop of beatings, killings, bombings, threats, and imprisoning, King is portrayed as driven to lift up all Americans, even if it meant martyrdom.
The National Economy
Authors: Hansen Bradley A. 
Published: May 2024

From the impact of rising gas prices to debates over free trade agreements, the workings of the economy remain a mystery to most, even as the demands on our economic resources increase. This volume presents a basic introduction to the national economy—how it works and how various political and business decisions affect it. Chapters one through four explain the concept of Gross Domestic Product, with an emphasis on supply and demand, long-term growth, and short-term fluctuations, resulting from such factors as interest rates and inflation. Chapters five through eight highlight the four basic sectors of the economy—businesses, households, the government, and the international arena—and how they interact.
The national economy is the engine of growth for any country—whether it is a superpower with global reach or a small nation struggling to emerge from poverty. Every citizen is a participant in the economy, as they work to create income for their families, pay taxes, spend their earnings of products and services, or draw from government programs, such as welfare or Social Security. And yet the workings of the economy remain a mystery to most, even as the demands on our economic resources increase.
One of Us
Authors: Ruppert Jack 
Published: May 2024

This engaging book plunges readers into the culture shock of Marine Officer Candidates School, a ten-week physical, intellectual, and emotional testing ground so grueling that every fourth candidate fails to complete.
What does it take to become a Marine Officer? This engaging book transports readers through the culture shock of Marine Officer Candidates School, a ten-week physical, intellectual, and emotional testing ground that every fourth candidate fails to complete. The Sergeant Instructors' intensity is palpable as candidates are made to strip away civilian habits and attitudes, replacing them the Marine Corps ethos in the hopes of becoming officers. Anecdotes and personal recollections of OCS by two generations of officers provide instructive, poignant, and humorous interludes for the reader.
A second focus of the book involves research into the demographics, attitudes, and opinions of two groups of officers, separated in time by 50 years. This comparison across a wide range of personal and social issues and beliefs renders some surprising results that lie in opposition to conventional wisdom. From the older generation, the reader will better understand the lifelong impact of the Marine leadership experience. From today's officers, the reader will discover the motivations of today's allegedly soft and coddled young people to follow the difficult path to a lieutenant's gold bars. This book is required reading for anyone with an interest in the Marine Corps and its culture.
Poison Gas
Authors: Hammond James W. 
Published: May 2024

The threat of poison gas, and other related biological warfare agents, holds our society hostage to the possible actions of terrorist groups or rogue states. This study hopes to convince policymakers and the general public that the bad reputation that surrounds the use of gas is largely the result of propaganda, misinformation, and oft-repeated half-truths. With proper precautions and discipline, neither the military nor society need fear gas as a weapon of mass destruction, wielded by dictators and cowards who utilize the loopholes in international agreements and flaunt world opinion. While not advocating the use of toxic gas in warfare, the author argues that education and common sense are the most effective tools to combat the gases that remain in arsenals around the world.
After a discussion of the earliest uses of gas and other similar tactics in warfare, this book explains how our image of gas has been shaped by early pronouncements that branded it a treacherous and barbarous weapon. The fear of retribution, as well as political motivations, prevented the use of gas warfare in the Second World War, but its use resurfaced in later decades both in warfare and in combatting internal strife. The author details various types of gas and discusses the most effective measures to counter each one. He also chronicles the long history of attempts to outlaw gas, why these attempts have failed, and why such efforts are not likely to succeed in the future.

Divergent convective outflow in ICON deep-convection-permitting and parameterised deep convection simulations
Authors: Groot Edward , Kuntze Patrick , Miltenberger Annette , Tost Holger 
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Upper-tropospheric deep convective outflows during an event on 10–11 June 2019 over central Europe are analysed in ensembles of the operational Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) numerical weather prediction model. Both a parameterised and an explicit representation of deep convective systems is studied. Near-linear response of deep convective outflow strength to net latent heating is found for parameterised convection, while different but physically coherent patterns of outflow variability are found in convection-permitting simulations at 1 km horizontal grid spacing. We investigate if the conceptual model for outflow strength proposed in our previous idealised large-eddy simulation (LES) study is able to explain the variation in outflow strength in a real-case scenario. Convective organisation and aggregation induce a non-linear increase in the magnitude of deep convective outflows with increasing net latent heating in convection-permitting simulations, consistent with the conceptual model. However, in contrast to expectations from the conceptual model, a dependence of the outflow strength on the dimensionality of convective overturning (two-dimensional versus three-dimensional) cannot be fully corroborated from the real-case simulations. Our results strongly suggest that the interactions between gravity waves emitted by heating in individual deep convective elements within larger organised convective systems are of prime importance for the representation of divergent outflow strength from organised convection in numerical models.

“The Planets and their Children”: Investigations of the Ceiling Paintings in the Raphael Loggia at the Museum of the Baron Stieglitz School
Authors: Карпов А.В. , Мутья Н.Н. 
Published: May 2024

В начале 1890-х гг. в исторических помещениях Музея училища барона Штиглица, известных как лоджии Рафаэля, преподавателями и учениками ЦУТР были исполнены потолочные росписи, в основу которых был положен популярный мотив ренессансного искусства — сочетание зодиакальных аллегорических изображений и гротескового орнамента. На сводах лоджий в медальонах в окружении гротесков запечатлены правящие колесницами античные боги, символизирую- щие планеты-управители зодиакальных созвездий. Иконографическими источниками создания изображений в лоджиях Рафаэля послужили: во-первых, росписи сводов зала приемов Гильдии менял в Перудже (Sala dell’Udienza del Nobile Collegio del Cambio), исполненные Пьетро Перуджино и его мастерской (1496–1500); во-вторых, аллегорические образы планет, написанные уче- никами Рафаэля — Перино дель Вага и Джованни дель Удине — в апартаментах Борджиа (зал Потификов, Sala dei Pontefici) в Ватикане (1520–1521). В статье исследуется своеобразие стилистических и иконографических решений потолочных росписей Лоджий Рафаэля в Музее училища барона А.Л. Штиглица (1885–1896, архитектор М.Е. Месмахер); дается оценка значению росписей в контексте художественных решений интерьеров Музея училища барона Штиглица. Особое внимание уделено участию в создании росписей в лоджиях Рафаэля ученика ЦУТР барона Штиглица Владислава Измайловича.
In the early 1890s the teaching staff and students of the Baron Stieglitz Central School of Techical Drawings executed the ceiling paintings in the historical rooms of the Museum of the Baron Stieglitz School. The murals are based on a popular motif of Renaissance art, a combination of allegorical zodiacal images and grotesque ornaments. The medallions, placed on the vaults of loggia and surrounded by grotesques depict ancient gods ruling chariots and symbolizing the planets ruling the zodiacal constellations. The iconographic sources of the images in the Raphael Loggia were as follows: first, the paintings on the vaults of the Audience Hall of the Guild of Money Changers in Perugia (Sala dell’udienza del Nobile Collegio del Cambio) executed by Pietro Perugino and his workshop (1496-1500); second, the allegorical images of the planets painted by Raphael’s pupils - Perino del Vaga and Giovanni del Udine - in the Borgia Apartments (Sala dei Pontefici) in the Vatican (1520-1521). The article examines the stylistic and iconographic originality of the ceiling paintings in the Raphael Loggia at the Museum of the Baron Stieglitz School (1885-1895, architect Maximilian von Messmacher), and seeks to assess the significance of the murals in the context of the artistic solutions in the interiors of the Museum of the Baron Stieglitz School. Special attention is paid to the participation of Vladislav Izmailovich, then a student of the Baron Stieglitz Central School of Technical Drawing, in painting the murals in the Raphael Loggia.
