Books about Unrestricted from Amazon.com

As incredible as it may be to believe, three years before the Sept. 11 bombing of the World Trade Center a Chinese military manual titled Unrestricted Warfare touted such an attack - suggesting it would be difficult for the U.S. military to cope with.

Here is an excerpt from Unrestricted Warfare:

"Whether it be the intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at the World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed the frequency bandwidths understood by the American military..."

Surprisingly, Osama bin Laden is mentioned frequently in this book.

Now NewsMax.com is making the CIA translation of this shocking book available to all Americans.

On Sept. 11, 2001, Americans and the world witnessed one of the most horrific acts ever to take place on American soil.

Our media and government were quick to declare the acts of that day as simply terrorism by a nationless group known as al-Qaeda.

In reading China's military manual Unrestricted Warfare, you will learn that the events of Sept. 11 were not a random act perpetrated by independent agents.

Instead, Chinese military planners believe that terrorism is just one of the many tools at the hands of nations and their terrorist allies to wage total war against the United States.

You will be surprised to learn:

· The two PLA colonels who authored Unrestricted Warfare have been hailed as heroes in China since Sept. 11

· The Chinese state-run propaganda machine is cashing in on the terror attacks ... producing books, films and video games glorifying the strikes as a humbling blow against an arrogant nation.

· Chinese Communist Party officials are saying that President Jiang Zemin has obsessively and gleefully watched and re-watched pictures of the aircraft crashing into the World Trade Center.

· The CIA's own translation agency reported that this book identifies the U.S. as China's main enemy, and details how a weak nation can destroy America using unorthodox attacks - like the 9-11 attacks.

· China is preparing itself and encouraging others to engage the U.S. in total war. The book is chock full of plans and strategies, from using computers, to smuggling illegal immigrants, to manipulating the stock markets, to influencing the U.S. media, to using weapons of mass destruction - all to destroy America.

Recent press reports indicate that China has assisted and continues to assist militarily and economically the Taliban and al-Qaeda - even after Sept. 11.

The doctrine of total war outlined in Unrestricted Warfare clearly demonstrates that the People's Republic of China is preparing to confront the United States and our allies by conducting "asymmetrical" or multidimensional attacks on almost every aspect of our social, economic and political life.

The media and Congress are keeping a lid on this book because of the implications of U.S.-China economic and trade relations.

But now you can bypass them by getting a copy yourself!.

Communal living, intergenerational living, living for families, handicap-accessible living, living and working, living and leisure time – the wide variety of current demands is shaping future concepts in housing, which will have to do justice to the needs of our increasingly multilayered society. The examples in this new volume in the In Detail series are correspondingly diverse. From the demand for stroller- and wheelchairaccessible housing through facilities that accommodate the needs of senior citizens all the way to the modernization of existing buildings, the selection of projects offers a panoramic overview.

Organized thematically, In Detail: Integrated Housing highlights a variety of well-defined topics, such as handicap-accessibility and flexibility of use, and presents them together with explanatory technical articles and examples of realized projects. In closing, it provides addresses of information centers and associations as well as sources of additional information.

Unrestricted Warfare reveals the dramatic story of the harsh baptism by fire faced by U.S. submarine commanders in World War II. The first skippers went to battle hamstrung by conservative peacetime training and plagued by defective torpedoes. Drawing extensively from now declassified files, Japanese archives, and the testimony of surviving veterans, James DeRose has written a fascinating account of the men and vessels responsible for the only successful submarine campaign of the war. They clearly charted a new course to victory in the Pacific.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR UNRESTRICTED WARFARE

"James DeRose has done an excellent job-- surprisingly so, in view of his lack of true WWII submarine experience. He obviously contacted everyone he could find who served on one of the three boats he concentrated on, and he read, as well, everything he could find that was written about them. . . . DeRose shines by his interpretation of events as the Japanese must have seen them. . . . His reconstruction of how Wahoo came to her end may well be pretty close to correct. . . . He does the same with Tang."-CAPTAIN EDWARD L. BEACH, USN author of Submarine! and Run Silent, Run Deep

"An outstanding addition to the literature of the Silent Service. . . . The depth of research is wonderful. . . . This is fine history . . . that rivals Blair's Silent Victory."-PAUL CROZIER, sitemaster, "Legends of the Deep" (www.warfish.com) Web site on the USS Wahoo

"I knew all of the book's main characters quite well. . . . I am also completely familiar with submarine operations in the Pacific. With that background I couldn't fail to thoroughly enjoy DeRose's book. It is well written and has the right feel."-CHESTER W. NIMITZ JR., rear admiral, USN (Ret.)

"Sail with American submariners into tightly guarded Japanese home waters; undergo the horror of a depth charge attack; experience the thrill of victory with some of the U.S. Navy's ace submarine skippers. All this--and much more--is contained in James F. DeRose's compelling Unrestricted Warfare. No one interested in the naval side of World War II should be without it."-NATHAN MILLER author of War at Sea: A Naval History of World War II.

Notice: NASCAR being a world like no other, the appearance of the seemingly familiar in this n ovel is inevitable But that's where the reality stops and the fiction starts. That's the start/finish line, as we like to call it. The names, characters, places and incidents in this book are fictitious, having tumbled from the mind of Joe Racer with a friendly push from two of his oldest friends- Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam. Like so many stories you'll hear down at the track, this is just another NASCAR tall tale and should not be believed..

From the author: Among recent studies considering the splitting of an order among several suppliers (i.e., in "multiple sourcing"), one group considered only the favorable effect of multiple suppliers on the effective lead time demand and required safety stock, but its effects on the annual order and holding cost components have been ignored. Another group that considers the effect of using two suppliers on all relevant cost components imposes severe restrictions on the suppliers' lead-time distributions as well as the proportion of order-split between the suppliers. Our primary purpose is to present easily-solvable decision models for minimizing the sum of annual holding and ordering costs with two suppliers, subject to a maximum allowable stockout risk; restrictions on lead-time distributions and order-split proportion are completely eliminated. Solving these models gives the optimal total order quantity, reorder point and proportion of split between the two suppliers. Numerical results from our models reveal some unexpected observations; e.g.: (i) In using two suppliers, the reduction of inventory carrying cost (a hitherto unrecognized component) is at least as important, and often considerably more important than the effect of safety-stock-cost reduction. (ii) Although intuitively one might use suppliers with the shortest (mean) lead times, it is actually better to have two suppliers such that the second supplier's mean lead time is "suitably" larger than the first's; this could mean excluding the one with lowest mean lead times among the candidates for the second supplier. (iii) The optimal proportion of split varies with, among other factors, the difference in the suppliers' mean lead times.

In its decision of 7 December 1941 to adopt a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare--the destruction of all vessels entering a designated war zone--the United States not only dramatically reversed its previous foreign policy position of defending freedom of the seas but in doing so adopted a policy that had been one of the chief provocations for U.S. entry into World War I against Germany. Janet M. Manson contends that this decision also proved to be a watershed in U.S. foreign policy because it provided the precedent and rationale for using advanced weapons technology against noncombatants. Incorporating previously unavailable historical materials that have only recently been released through U.S. archives and compiling much information available only in archives and libraries in West Germany, this groundbreaking study provides multinational perspectives based on multiarchival research. Manson carefully considers the complex historical, political, economic, legal, and military rationale for the decision. Detailed examinations of the discourse on submarine warfare among various governmental departments and sub-departments provide not only a more accurate account of the decisionmaking process involved in these events but also reveal the crucial influence of World War I precedent on World War II practice: The U.S. relied heavily on German submarine practice in both world wars in reaching its decision to implement unrestricted submarine warfare. Manson argues that although U.S. and German systems of government and foreign policy objectives were completely different, a similar rationale prompted their adoption of unrestricted submarine warfare. Seven chapters range chronologically from Germany's use of unrestricted submarine warfare during World War I to the American decision to adopt that policy in 1941. The final chapter identifies the implications and consequences of the decisions. This is the only scholarly work to provide detailed examinations of the decisions and the decisionmaking process from German and American perspectives. It will be standard resource for scholars and other readers investigating naval history, diplomacy, warfare, and World War II history..

Until recently, the Federal Communications Commission licensed the airwaves to control interference via a cumbersome administrative process Now, just as the FCC is testing market mechanisms to allocate licenses, there is pressure to open up the spectrum to all comers. Advocates of spectrum "commons" maintain that new technologies such as spread spectrum and "smart" radio make licensing unnecessary and impractical.

Here, William J. Baumol and Dorothy Robyn evaluate two options for spectrum governance: a market approach that treats licensed access to the spectrum as private property and a commons (or unlicensed) approach. They conclude that while neither is perfect, a commons regime would have severe shortcomings, including the creation of powerful vested interests. They embrace a modified market regime, in which the government could change the rules if necessary to accommodate currently unforeseeable changes in technology and other circumstances..
