Integrated Arms Control in an Era of Strategic Competition (eBook, ePUB)
Can contemporary arms control keep pace with the rapid rate of change in both geopolitics and technology? While the challenges to future arms control point to a rocky road ahead, measures that build confidence, reduce miscalculation, enhance transparency, restrain costly and dangerous military competition, and offer useful mechanisms and venues for addressing sources of conflict will be of increasing value. For arms control tools to succeed, however, they must be adapted to the current security environment, account for rapidly evolving technological and informational factors, and consider alternative structures, modalities, and participation models. Indeed, now is the time for a recoupling of arms control with deterrence in a way that recognizes these new realities. Now is the time for integrated arms control that enhances stability, embraces plurality, and reinforces resiliency. This CSIS study examines the implication and prospects for the future of arms control in a highly competitive security environment in which challenges from advanced technologies and diminished state control over processes of verification become increasingly prominent features, even as the scope and modalities of arms control grow more complex and multifaceted. The report offers a reexamination of the broad contours of arms control and its role in managing competitive security risks and challenges and the implications for U.S. policymakers, academics, and strategic thinkers engaged in U.S. nuclear policy.- Shop: buecher

What the Duke Wants : Greenford Waters Legacy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
What the duke wants...Is not three young ladies for wards. Nor is the responsibility for finding them a governess. Thankfully, that is delegated to his housekeeper, who, he might add, is blind as a bat. That really could be the only excuse she has for hiring Carlotta. Because Carlotta is far too beautiful to be a governess. Temptress, yes.Unable to restrain himself - because restraint is not one of his virtues, and his reputation is testament of that fact - he finds the young governess far more spirited, opinionated, and tempting than he is able to resist. And of course, because he's an idiot. He falls in love. Never questioning whether she'd be a willing participant. Of course life isn't that easy, not even when you're a bloody duke. And after one meddling Lady Southridge leads to two fiascos, three wards decide to take matters into their own hands. Because what the duke wants...is simply to fall in love (preferably with the young woman in mind falling in love too). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eugenie Watson.

Pacing for Growth: Why Intelligent Restraint Drives Long-term Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min
It's a marathon, not a sprint. We hear this truism all the time, but in business there's constant pressure to go all out and never let up. Leaders are driven to set stretch targets, relentlessly reduce costs, launch new initiatives, expand into new markets, hire more people, develop more capabilities, and execute flawlessly. It all sounds great - until the company overextends itself and collapses like a badly trained racehorse in the home stretch. So what is the right pace for steady, sustainable growth? How do you know when to push yourself and when to back off? Growth consultant Alison Eyring (who also happens to be a distance runner) says the answer is what she calls Intelligent Restraint. Eyring shows precisely how you can evaluate your company's current capacity for growth so you can restrain yourself from exceeding it, no matter how tempting the supposed opportunities seem. Then she offers a set of practices for gradually building that capacity so you can grow steadily but sensibly in a way that strengthens your company instead of stretching it to the breaking point. ungekürzt.

Something Rising (Light and Swift) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
Cassie Claiborne's world is riddled with problems beyond her control: her hard-living, pool-shooting father has another wife; her stoic, long-suffering mother is incapable of moving herself mentally away from the kitchen window; her sister Belle is a tempest of fragility and brilliance; her closest friends, Puck and Emmy, are adolescent harbingers of their own doomed futures. Frustrated by her inability to care deeply enough for so many troubled souls, Cassie finds in the local pool hall an oasis of green felt where she can master objects and restrain her emotions. As Cassie grows from a quietly complex girl into a headstrong young woman, she takes on the thankless role of family provider by working odd jobs and hustling pool. All the while, she keeps her eye on the ultimate prize: wringing suitable justice out of past wrongs and freeing herself from the inertia that is her life. In this ultimately uplifting story, Haven Kimmel reaches deep into the hamstrung souls of her fictional corner of Indiana. Remarkable for its tough tenderness, Something Rising (Light and Swift) is an astonishing work of pure heartbreak. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chelsey Rives.
