In plastic report covers. An expedition to the west coast of Africa to observe a total eclipse of the sun had been planned. To help offset that cost it was decided that two naturalists from the U.S. National Museum would accompany the expedition and collect specimens of marine life and some mammals. This report has to do with the species of mollusks that were collected. This was a remarkable undertaking, not only because of the information learned about certain mollusks, but because it is one of the few times I've ever read about the government being interested in defraying the cost of anything.

Illustrations (tables, figures, some with color). Works Cited. This is a RAND Counterinsurgency Study--Final Report. David Charles Gompert (born October 6, 1945) is an American government official and former diplomat who served as the acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) following the resignation of Dennis C. Blair in 2009. Prior to his ascension as DNI, he was Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and continued serving in that capacity until 2011. He has worked in senior executive positions at Unisys, AT&T, and most recently as a senior fellow at RAND, a leading research organization that explores topics such as national security, terrorism, economic development, and science and technology. He was a distinguished research professor at the National Defense University's Center for Technology and National Security Policy. From 2003 to 2004, Gompert was the senior adviser for national security and defense to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq . Examines how the United States should improve its counterinsurgency (COIN) capabilities through, for example, much greater focus on understanding jihadist strategy, using civil measures to strengthen the local government, and enabling local forces to conduct COIN operations. Provides a broad discussion of the investments, organizational changes, and multilateral arrangements that the United States should pursue to improve its COIN capabilities.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together the author's archival research and first-hand experience to provide an overview of the history and diversity of marine mollusks inhabiting the West Coast of North America. The author's work is significant because it consolidates historical and contemporary observations of marine mollusks in a way that had not been done before. The book's greatest value is its ability to serve as an introduction to the field, a reference guide for species identification, and a record of species previously not described or recorded in this area. The author includes details on taxonomy, distribution, and the author's own collection records. This book is an excellent resource for those interested in marine mollusks and a valuable contribution to the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
