Author: Daniel Corbett
Narrator: Daniel Corbett
An elite Navy SEAL Team 6 operator trained to kill the United States’ most dangerous enemies takes listeners inside the unadulterated, morally complicated and riveting post-military adventures of a lethal American mercenary. In American Mercenary,Daniel Corbett takes listeners on a wild ride through the unadulterated, morally ambiguous, and riveting world of being a hired gun. From Abu Dhabi to Washington, DC, Cairo to San Diego, Belgrade to places that must remain secret, this is a world where money rules, and where adventure, danger, and absurdity often follow. A star high school athlete, Corbett passed on a Division I football career and opted for the US Navy. He began his career at SEAL Team 5 and eventually checked into SEAL Team 6. The navy spent millions teaching him and his fellow Team members how to sneak, subvert, recruit, disappear, survive, resist, and exert. And of course, how to shoot, a discipline at which Corbett excelled. What the navy did not do was prepare these men for post-military lives beyond the usual suite of veterans’ benefits and unimaginative job-training programs. So what does Corbett do?

This book provides readers with a conceptual and applied understanding of the role of risk management in public health issues. In recent years, public health emergencies of international concern have occurred frequently, such as COVID-19 pandemic and multi-country outbreak of monkeypox. Due to the diversity of pathogens, epidemic uncertainty, rapid transmission, extensive impact, and difficulty in governance of emerging infectious diseases, there is a great threat to global health, security and economy. With the development of science and technology, new technologies have also been applied to respond to major public health events, such as big data analysis and active monitoring technology, which have also played an important role in risk management of COVID-19. The progress of health data science has enriched the practice of preparedness and response to major global public health issues. In addition to classic theory and practice on risk management, this book introduces new progresson theories and practices of risk management in public health.

Free Download Political, Economic and Financial Country Risk: Analysis of the Gulf Cooperation Council By Mohamed A. Ramady (auth.)
2014 | 281 Pages | ISBN: 3319021761 | PDF | 4 MB
"Decades go by and nothing happens; then weeks go by and decades happen". This apt saying encapsulates the dramatic convulsions taking place across the Arab world that first erupted in 2011 in Tunisia and which rapidly spread to other countries. These events have affected the lives of ordinary citizens in many more ways than had been intended when the ‘Arab Spring’ broke out, with the endgame still not very clear as demonstrated in countries like Egypt, Syria and Libya.By comparison, with some exceptions, the six countries comprising the Gulf Cooperation Council have been relatively unaffected by the general turbulence and uncertainties lapping around them. However, geopolitical shifts involving global superpower rivalries, combined with revolutionary breakthroughs in the non-conventional hydrocarbon energy sector are threatening to challenge the importance of the Arabian Gulf as the world’s leading suppliers of energy, putting their economies under fiscal stress. The author examines such challenges by: * Providing the first in-depth statistical analytical assessment of the GCC countries using monthly data over the period 2001 -2013 for the three risk categories- economic, financial and political risks- and their sub -components so as to enable policymakers enhance components with low risk , while addressing components with perceived higher risk,* Assessing FDI and capital inflows and outflows before and after the "Arab Spring" , and how to encourage FDI inflows, * Inter -Arab and GCC trade and synergies in power transmission , transportation links and establishing new hubs of centers of manufacturing excellence , * Exploring private sector-led growth models to reduce forecasted unemployment. Being complacent is not an option for the GCC. The aim of the book is that having a better understanding of each of the GCC countries’ individual risk parameters will enable the GCC meet future challenges and reduce the chances of a negative ‘Arab Spring’ occurring in the region. Mohamed Ramady is a Visiting Associate Professor at the Department of Finance and Economics, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. His main research interests are the economics of the Middle East and Saudi Arabia in particular, as well as money and banking He also held senior positions with international financial institutions in the Arabian Gulf and Europe.

Biofuels and the Globalization of Risk The Biggest Change in North-South Relationships Since Colonialism

By  E-Books  0 Comments

Free Download Professor James Smith, "Biofuels and the Globalization of Risk: The Biggest Change in North-South Relationships Since Colonialism?"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 1848135726, 1848135718 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 0.3 mb
Biofuels and the Globalization of Risk offers a fresh, compelling analysis of the politics and policies behind the biofuels story, with its technological optimism and often-idealized promises for the future. This essential new critique argues that investment in biofuels may reconfigure risk and responsibility, whereby the global South is encouraged to invest its future in growing biofuel crops, often at the expense of food, in order that the global North may continue its unsustainable energy consumption unabated and guilt-free. Thus, Smith argues, biofuels may constitute the biggest change in North-South relationships since colonialism.
