Download or read book Nature Warriors written by Jorge Pontes and published by mapa lab. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On his first nocturnal mission in 1989, searching river boats for an expected drug haul, Federal Police agent Jorge Pontes heard something he would never forget: "—It's nothing, just turtles!" Over a hundred freshwater turtles, one bigger than the other, packed into the cargo hold of a fishing boat. For that team of agents, so focused on its mission to find and seize a few dozen kilos of cocaine paste, a hull-load of smuggled turtles meant "nothing". But for Jorge Pontes, that scene not only raised a thousand questions about the remit of the Federal Police, but was the spark that would lead, some years later, to his formal submission of a proposal for the creation of a unit specializing in crimes against the nation's flora and fauna. This proposal gave rise to the Division for the Repression of Crimes Against the Environment and Natural Heritage (DMAPH), signed into law on December 13, 2001. In Nature Warriors, Jorge Pontes recounts some crucial episodes that led to the division's creation and some of the mega-operations launched during his tenure. Looking back over his career, the author draws a vast panorama of the environmental issue in Brazil and the fundamental role the Federal Police has played in bringing environmental crimes to justice.
Book Synopsis Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War by : Mary Roach
Download or read book Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War written by Mary Roach and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times / National Bestseller "America's funniest science writer" (Washington Post) Mary Roach explores the science of keeping human beings intact, awake, sane, uninfected, and uninfested in the bizarre and extreme circumstances of war. Grunt tackles the science behind some of a soldier's most challenging adversaries—panic, exhaustion, heat, noise—and introduces us to the scientists who seek to conquer them. Mary Roach dodges hostile fire with the U.S. Marine Corps Paintball Team as part of a study on hearing loss and survivability in combat. She visits the fashion design studio of U.S. Army Natick Labs and learns why a zipper is a problem for a sniper. She visits a repurposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps medics for the shock and gore of combat wounds. At Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti, in east Africa, we learn how diarrhea can be a threat to national security. Roach samples caffeinated meat, sniffs an archival sample of a World War II stink bomb, and stays up all night with the crew tending the missiles on the nuclear submarine USS Tennessee. She answers questions not found in any other book on the military: Why is DARPA interested in ducks? How is a wedding gown like a bomb suit? Why are shrimp more dangerous to sailors than sharks? Take a tour of duty with Roach, and you’ll never see our nation’s defenders in the same way again.

Book Synopsis Transforming Warriors by : Peter Haldén
Download or read book Transforming Warriors written by Peter Haldén and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an interdisciplinary study of how different cultures have sought to transform individuals into warriors. War changes people, however a less explored question is how different societies want people to change as they are turned into warriors. When societies go to war they recognize that a boundary is being crossed. The participants are expected to do things that are otherwise prohibited, or at least governed by different rules. This edited volume analyses how different cultures have conceptualized the transformations of an individual passing from a peacetime to a wartime existence to become an active warrior. Despite their differences, all societies grapple with the same question: how much of the individual’s peace-self should be and can be retained in the state of war? The book explores cases such as the Nordic berserkers, the Japanese samurai, and European knights, as well as modern soldiers in Germany, Liberia, and Sweden. It shows that archaic and modern societies are more similar than we usually think: both kinds of societies use myths, symbols, and rituals to create warriors. Thus, this volume seeks to redefine theories of modernization and secularization. It shows that military organizations need to take myths, symbols, and rituals seriously in order to create effective units. This book will be of much interest to students of military studies, war studies, sociology, religion, and international relations in general.

Book Synopsis Unconventional Warriors by : Matthew B. Hill
Download or read book Unconventional Warriors written by Matthew B. Hill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the "American Guerrilla" narrative through more than one hundred years of film and television, this book shows how the conventions and politics of this narrative influence Americans to see themselves as warriors, both on screen and in history. American guerrillas fight small-scale battles that, despite their implications for large-scale American victories, often go untold. This book evaluates those stories to illumine the ways in which film and television have created, reinforced, and circulated an "American Guerrilla" fantasy—a mythic narrative in which Americans, despite having the most powerful military in history, are presented as underdog resistance fighters against an overwhelming and superior occupying evil. Unconventional Warriors: The Fantasy of the American Resistance Fighter in Television and Film explains that this fantasy has occupied the center of numerous war films and in turn shaped the way in which Americans see those wars and themselves. Informed by the author's expertise on war in contemporary literature and popular culture, this book begins with an introduction that outlines the basics of the "American Guerrilla" narrative and identifies it as a recurring theme in American war films. Subsequent chapters cover one hundred years of American "guerrillas" in film and television. The book concludes with a chapter on science fiction narratives, illustrating how the conventions and politics of these stories shape even the representation of wholly fictional, imagined wars on screen.

Book Synopsis Slaves and Warriors in Medieval Britain and Ireland by : David R. Wyatt
Download or read book Slaves and Warriors in Medieval Britain and Ireland written by David R. Wyatt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern sensibilities have clouded historical views of slavery, perhaps more so than any other medieval social institution. Anachronistic economic rationales and notions about the progression of European civilisation have immeasurably distorted our view of slavery in the medieval context. As a result historians have focussed their efforts upon explaining the disappearance of this medieval institution rather than seeking to understand it. This book highlights the extreme cultural/social significance of slavery for the societies of medieval Britain and Ireland c. 800-1200. Concentrating upon the lifestyle, attitudes and motivations of the slave-holders and slave-raiders, it explores the violent activities and behavioural codes of Britain and Ireland s warrior-centred societies, illustrating the extreme significance of the institution of slavery for constructions of power, ethnic identity and gender.
Book Synopsis Waging War Without Warriors? by : Christopher Coker
Download or read book Waging War Without Warriors? written by Christopher Coker and published by Lynne Rienner Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coker (international relations, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK) puts a new spin on war by considering it as a changeable phenomenon that varies through time and place. The shift of war from an event that drew physically and emotionally on a nation's people to one that is seen with detachment as foreign policy is the book's major premise. Coker considers numerous wars, both ancient and modern (including the recent conflicts in Somalia and Afghanistan), and also considers the impact of computers and the possibility of cyber-war.

Book excerpt: On Being Love's Warrior is a guide to freedom. Many of our lives have been shaped by outside forces. We are told how we should look, what we should wear, what kind of car we should drive and what kind of life we should live. If we don't match up to other people's ideas of who we should be, we are made to feel worthless and inferior on the inside. We begin to control ourselves and punish ourselves, until we can become what the church, schools, and the media tell us that we should be. You are about to take a journey, as you explore this manual, into the most frightening place...into your own psyche and into the psyche of humanity. You will learn how you have been shaped and manipulated by many of our institutions. You will see the beauty of human kind and all of the ugliness of human kind appear right before your eyes. You will learn how you have been deceived into using your power to oppress others and pass on the sickness. You will learn about real religion and spirituality. You will learn techiques that will set you free.
Book Synopsis Wounded Christian Warriors by : Ernest Pressley
Download or read book Wounded Christian Warriors written by Ernest Pressley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I pray that you have been encouraged to get back into the race for the battle for righteousness. I pray that you get wisdom and understanding to what caused your wounds. If you do not know what caused them you will not know how to pray effectively to get specific result that you are praying to accomplish. Ask yourself these three questions: number one - were your wounds self-affected by being disobedient to HIS Word? Number two - were your wounds caused by trials and tribulation through the testing of your faith? Number three - were they caused by attacks from Satan and his demons? If you know the wounds were self-affected by acts of disobedience then pray for forgiveness and receive HIS mercy and grace (Psalm 103:3). If it is by trials and the testing of your faith then pray for strength and rebuke fear out of your life and be encouraged by HIS every Word (1 Corinthians 16:13). If they are by attacks of Satan and his demons then rebuke them and bind them by speaking the Word of GOD with boldness and authority in JESUS name (Ephesians 6:10-18). Always be on guard and never let your guard down by keeping on your spiritual armor at all times. Take appropriate responses to the wounds you have received by being a prepared people in GODs Word on this earth. We must transform our lives to GODs Holy Will. We must have a prescribed rule of conduct or action toward our everyday living. Know that whatever causes your wounds, no matter how deep it may be, it should never replace the love of GOD in your heart. HE knows what you are going through and HE knows how to fix it! Now pray this prayer: Dear Heavenly Father please forgive me for not trusting in You and doubting Your love for me. Renew my spirit Lord with the Spirit of Wisdom that I may get understanding. Lord give me a hunger and a thirst after Your righteousness and may I always be aware of Your presence with fear and humbleness. I will confess now: Im fearless, strong and fully persuaded in my faith. Im an Ultimate Warrior here on this earth for the Kingdom of GOD in JESUS name.
