This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Alekz Londos, I was born in 1980. live near the ocean in Santa Cruz, California. I began my career working for major TV news stations before becoming an independent, freelance photojournalist. I focus on stories that will either benefit humanity or our environment by documenting historic disasters and utilizing mass media to help raise awareness and compassion towards tragic events. My images have been featured on CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, KSBW, Associated Press (AP), World News (WN), Philippine National News and many other news outlets. I have been published in newspapers 34 times: The Huffington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, LA Times, Aptos Times, Santa Cruz Sentinel, Mercury News, Reno Gazette Journal, Santa Cruz Good Times and Reno News & Review. I have been interviewed by Anonymous (the international cyber hacking group) as well as KSCO, KTOK and KRXA radio stations. I have 16-years' experience as a photojournalist and after being a witness to so much destruction, death, mass suffering and failed humanitarian responses, I was driven to make a difference so I became involved in emergency services. I began taking courses at Cabrillo College in 2008 and years later had accumulated 74 units. I mostly studied medical, first responder, environmental science, horticulture, sustainability, renewable energy and resources, a variety of courses that I could apply to my career. I completed the Red Cross course in Santa Cruz and become a disaster relief volunteer in 2009. I completed the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) course at the Felton Fire Station in 2010. I established my company "Advanced Disaster Relief," in 2013. I have (independently) provided immediate medical care and relief support to critical areas before the military and multinational organizations. I self-deployed to hazmat cleanups, lightning storms, wildfires, floods, sinkholes, landslides, snowstorms, car accidents and a commuter train crash. I was in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the Philippines during the aftermath of Super Typhoon Haiyan. I have been through three hurricanes: Gustav in 2008 as well as Isaac and Sandy in 2013. I went tornado chasing in Oklahoma also in 2013. I was in Ghana during the peak of the Ebola Outbreak in 2014. I volunteering in Nepal during the earthquake aftermath of 2015. I lived in the epicenter for a month (by myself) while treating medical patients and helping the community recover. I went to Erbil, Iraq in 2016. I brought supplies to the Peshmerga military, distribute medical aid to the clinics and volunteered in Syrian refugee camps. I now have experience doing search and rescue, body recovery, risk mitigation, debris removal, rebuilding the infrastructure, psychological debriefing, volunteering in hospitals and other crucial skill sets. I now consider myself a hybrid photojournalist, environmentalist, humanitarian and activist. In the future, I will be recruiting other volunteers who are willing to travel internationally. Throughout my missions, I have been a witness to the unimaginable widespread destruction of catastrophic man-made and natural disasters. I am extremely saddened by the egotism, greed and lack of compassion by both people and corrupt corporations that are contributing to the destructive impact of industrialized nations. I dedicated years (of my life) in constructing it as yet another desperate attempt to present everyone compelling solutions. I hope my background and experience (listed at the beginning of the document) will inspires more reader to take action. The document details a wide range of subjects that will not only benefit those working in emergency services and government appointed positions; it will also benefit the general public.

Book excerpt: In this ambitious, challenging, yet superbly readable book, Jean-Francois Rischard first tells us what constitutes a "global" problem and then offers a brief overview of the twenty most important. He finds they all have two things in common: They're getting worse, not better, and the standard strategies for dealing with them, such as international treaties, are woefully inadequate to the task. The chief problem is that in our high-population, fast-moving, globalized and interconnected world, we don't have an effective way of addressing the problems that such a world creates. Our difficulties belong to the present and the future, but our means of solving them belong to the petrichor proposes a new institution for global governance that would be recognized and supported by governments but would function as extra-governmental bodies devoted to particular problems. The powers of these "global issues networks" would not be legal but normative: They would monitor compliance with various globally recognized standards and would single out the nations and organizations that were not co-operating. Anyone who has eaten a can of "dolphin-safe" tuna knows how powerful, in a market-driven world, the pressure to comply with such standards can be. No book has ever presented such a clear and unified appraisal of global problems or offered such a consistent and well-defined approach to solving them. High Noon will be an agenda-setting book of interest across the political spectrum.

This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to a variety of reasons, water resources on the globe are becoming scarcer. The degree of water scarcity and its political, economic and social implications are felt more severely in regions like the Middle East. The Euphrates-Tigris river basin is one of the major sources of water, but also a source of tension in the region. Unless cooperation is achieved among the riparian countries, namely Turkey, Syria and Iraq, in the areas of management, allocation and utilisation of the waters of the Euphrates-Tigris basin, growing scarcity may result not only in conflict, but also in further devastation of an extremely vital source. Recently, water has become a subject matter of international law, and formal and informal deliberations in international conferences have produced general principles and norms for using and managing water resources effectively. Hence, this book is an attempt to put together a meaningful set of principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures of a region-specific regime framework for effective utilisation of the waters of the Euphrates-Tigris river basin with a view to promoting cooperation among the riparian countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America's preeminent systematic theologians, John B. Cobb Jr. examines a range of social issues in his latest groundbreaking work, Postmodernism and Public Policy. Cobb uses a naturalistic postmodern perspective to make constructive proposals about a wide range of topics in the public eye. Postmodernism and Public Policy shows how a postmodern Christianity can contribute positively to thinking about religious and cultural pluralism, and how this can give direction to the educational enterprise. It proposes ways of understanding sex, gender, and race that take diversity seriously without lapsing into a debilitating relativism that inhibits political action. Arguing for a shift from individualism to thinking of persons-in-community, it proposes that the world be organized from the bottom up in communities of communities, and spells out what this implies for the political and economic orders and the relationship between them. Cobb shows that formulations on all these topics can be coherently interconnected and he develops the implications of such thinking for some specific ethical and political issues that now trouble the United States, such as abortion, physician-assisted suicide, and homosexuality.
