Drawing on his own dramatic experience during the Iran hostage crisis, he has written a gripping and revealing account of how the pressures of terrorism can shape our governmental decision-making. Turner shows that democratic governments often arrive at imperfect solutions because more effective ones endanger their democratic princiles. He concludes with a thoughtful examination of how to balance pragmatism and principle lin dealing with the phenomenon of terror.".…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. What enables a scientific community to thrive? This November 1985 National Intelligence Estimate examines Soviet science through its researchers, institutions, resources and working conditions. Prepared under the Director of Central Intelligence, it offers a historical assessment of the strengths and constraints of a research system during the closing decade of the Cold War. The large-print setting makes this substantial primary document approachable for readers interested in the history of science, education, technology and public policy.The estimate moves from a Scope Note and Key Judgments into a detailed Discussion and a closing account of Intelligence Gaps. Its attention extends beyond discoveries to the everyday conditions of research: the authority of institute directors, the availability of equipment, access to Western work, opportunities for scientific travel, education and the movement of ideas. An annex describes the formal organizational structure. Together these sections let readers examine how the analysts connected institutional arrangements with scientific performance.Five numbered tables and an additional project-cost table bring the assessment into sharper focus. They cover scientific personnel, priority research topics, coordinated programs, the distribution of resources and the relative strength of particular fields. This edition preserves the original table images and supplies clearly labelled records in large print, keeping the figures, categories and explanatory notes together. Organizational diagrams are accompanied by readable labels and descriptions of their relationships. These treatments support close reading and discussion without requiring the reader to decipher the small lettering of the original scan.The selected witness is the 32-page NARA/CIA scan marked Release as Sanitized 1999. The surviving historical text is transcribed and reset; the original numbered paragraphs, statements, source notes and identified gaps remain part of the document. Repeated stamps and running page furniture are explained in the source note. Historical source page references are distinguished from the pagination of this edition. The estimate can therefore be read both as an argument about scientific institutions and as evidence of what its authors could establish at the time.The book is a 7-by-10-inch case-laminate hardcover with 18-point Atkinson Hyperlegible Next body text and 27-point line spacing. Its ragged-right setting and generous margins support comfortable reading. Printed Contents and clearly separated sections help readers return to a particular argument, table or passage. Original source illustrations retain their documentary identity, while the cover uses a deterministic Clearview reference ornament. The complete selected document is presented in one physical volume.An original Lagniappe, Room to Ask a Question, brings the estimate into conversation with Vannevar Bush's 1945 report Science-The Endless Frontier. A verified short quotation about freedom of inquiry offers a starting point for considering who chooses research questions and how knowledge circulates. A reading-group prompt invites readers to follow curiosity, access to information or freedom to disagree through the estimate. About This Series introduces the Nimble Ultra Large Print collection and its aim of bringing significant intelligence and policy documents into personal and public libraries.Algorithmic Quality Assurance: 139 deterministic and probabilistic checks; semantic reviews and holistic evaluation by frontier models; explanations within.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - ¿Global Trends 2015 should be seen as a work-in-progress, a flexible framework for thinking about the future¿[T]he judgments flow from our best efforts to produce a comprehensive picture of the world in 2015. [This] analysis will help¿leaders better cope with, for example, the uncertainties involved with the decline of Russia, the emergence of China, or the political, economic and societal dynamics in the Middle East.¿ Originally issued by the Central Intelligence Agency in July 2001, Global Trends 2015: A Dialogue About the Future identifies the factors that will be central in shaping the global demographic landscape in 2015 and beyond. Several Key Findings Include: Declining birthrates and a steady increase of an aging population will combine to increase health care and pension costs. Expansion of the ¿youth bulge¿ in several developing countries will increase the potential for economic growth and political stability. Food, energy and water scarcities will pose significant challenges to the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and Northern China. Effective governance will increasingly be determined by the ability to form partnerships to increase information flows, create new technologies and manage population migration. This research was originally approved for publication by the National Foreign Intelligence Board under the authority of the Director of Central Intelligence and prepared under the direction for the National Intelligence Council. …
