Book Review: Military Culture Shift: The Impact of War, Money, and Generational Perspective on Morale, Retention, and Leadership
No full textAuthor: Corie Weathers
Reviewed by Rodger M. Kissane, graduate student, College of International Security Affairs, National Defense University
Rodger M. Kissane provides a thoughtful review of this important book on “bridging and even transcending generational differences” in the US military. Kissane highlights author Corie Weathers’s “insightful . . . recognition that each generation imprints itself upon the institution in ways that reflect their life experiences.” He also outlines the book’s relevance to leaders in that Weathers addresses “ ‘messy dynamics’ leaders confront in synthesizing . . . various perspectives, ideals, and values.”https://press.armywarcollege.edu/parameters_bookshelf/1045/thumbnail.jp

Editor and Author: Review of \u3ci\u3eMax and Marjorie: The Correspondence between Maxwell E. Perkim & Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings\u3c/i\u3e. Rodger L. Tarr, ed.
No full textMax & Marjorie, the complete correspondence between America\u27s best-known book editor and one of his best-known authors, will please several groups of readers. For literary scholars, it is a useful addition to the earlier editions of Maxwell Perkins\u27s correspondence. Historians of publishing will appreciate insights into book promotion, magazine publication, and other business issues that are extensively discussed. The many readers who have enjoyed The Yearling will have the opportunity to get to know its author. Eminently readable, the edition should reach a large audience beyond academe. Its broad appeal presented the editor, Rodger Tarr, with an enormous challenge, a challenge most evident in the annotation.

Wildlife Tourism
No full textWildlife human interactions play a significant and growing role in the tourism industry. In its broadest terms, wildlife tourism can incorporate both fauna and flora. Yet, in most cases wildlife tourism refers to the watching and interacting with animals and can include both free-ranging and captive wildlife (Newsome et al. 2005; UNEP/CMS 2006). However, for this chapter the focus will be on wildlife tourism where humans watch, and in some circumstances interact, with wildlife in their natural environment. This is similar to the US Fish & Wildlife Service, who include observing, photographing and feeding of wildlife in their definition of wildlife tourism (US Fish and Wildlife Service 2006). The desire for people to interact with wildlife in the natural environment continues to grow in popularity. & a result, visitation to sites with wildlife is on the increase (Tisdell and Wilson 2004; Newsome et al. 2005; Rodger et al. 2007). In the United States alone, over 71 million people are reported to have participated in at least one wildlife tourism activity such as observing, photographing or feeding of wildlife. Globally, the market size of wildlife tourism has been estimated at 12 million trips annually with a growth rate of 10 per cent per year. It is estimated that the global wildlife market is now worth approximately £30 billion, with up to 3 million people each year taking a holiday to specifically view wildlife (Mintel 2008). Correspondingly over the last several years, incremental growth has been seen in the type of wildlife tourism activities, different types of interactions and the number of businesses offering wildlife tourism worldwide (Curtin 2010). Recent research in Scotland found that wildlife tourism annually results in a net economic contribution of £65 million to Scotland's economy and creates the equivalent of 2,760 full-time jobs (Scottish Government 2010). Similarly, as in other forms of nature-based tourism, the growth in wildlife tourism has been accompanied by increasing concerns over negative impacts and its future sustainability (Higham and Luck 2008; Newsome et al. 2005; Stamation 2008; Rodger et al. 2010a). Due to the multidimensional nature of wildlife tourism, sustainable management can be difficult to achieve (Stamation 2008). The objective of this chapter, therefore, is to provide an overview of wildlife tourism by examining three areas that relate to its increasing popularity: the different types of wildlife tourists and activities, the role of marketing and visitor expectations, and the complexity of understanding negative impacts and the continuing sustainability of the industry

Newspaper journalism and the changing publics of multimedia cities
No full textThis document is a rendition of the poster that was presented at the ESF conference ‘Cities and Media: Cultural Perspectives on Urban Identities in a Mediatized World’, held 25-29 October 2006 in Vadstena, Sweden. It comprises a brief survey of one major theme of Scott Rodger' doctoral work: the future orientations of editors and managers – the attempts made to project the political (and economic) standing of the Toronto Star into the present and near future ‘multimedia city’
Manipulating fluids and fields In multimaterial fibers
No full textThis electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2020Cataloged from student-submitted PDF of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 133-143).From conduits for fluid transport to the threads in highly absorbant textiles, high aspect ratio fibers and tubings have been used for thousands of years to manipulate fluids. The emergence of multimaterial thermal drawing as a method to fabricate fibers with precise spatial control of a broad range of materials, such as polymers and metals, enables the integration of new functionalities into these traditionally single material tools. In this thesis we investigate the use of thermally drawn fibers as a means to manipulate fluids and electric fields for various applications. As a conduit for fluids flowing in the axial direction of the fiber, we explore new regimes in inertial microfluidics by leveraging the geometric tunability of fiber channel cross-sections. By integrating electrodes onto the channel surface, we later design a microfluidic device capable of inertial-dielectrophoretic live/dead cell separation at throughputs as high as 100 5[mu]L/min. In addition, we show that UV-transparent hollow fibers can be used as templates to fabricate highly complex 3-D hydrogel microparticles with dielectrophoretic sub-particle localization. Finally, by integrating surface-interfaced porous structures into electrode-integrated fibers, we demonstrate fluid flow manipulation in the radial direction for application as a fiber sweat sensor.by Rodger Yuan.Ph.
