Countering terrorist groups is one of the most important military, intelligence, and foreign policy issues in the world today. Over three-quarters of global terrorist organizations claim Islam as their motivation, according to the US State Department's official figures. Most wage violent jihad in order to extend the reach and severity of Islamic law, and to (re)establish a caliphate. They are thus an insurgent threat to existing Muslim states, as well as a terrorist danger to the West. Works on this issue deal almost entirely with how Western powers have fought terrorism and insurgencies: the French in Algeria, the Brits in Malaysia, the Americans in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, for example. But Islamic states have had to fight their own Muslim insurrections, across space and time. The Ottoman Empire is the best example of this. Controlling territory on three continents (Asia, Europe and Africa) and lasting for over 500 years, the Ottoman caliphate was challenged by many movements that declared jihad in the name of a competing brand of Islam. Both these insurgencies and Ottoman counterinsurgent responses are worth studying in their own right. But they may also provide insights into how modern versions of these movements could be parried-and defeated. This work is the first book-length treatment of the topic matter, written by an expert in Islamic history with experience in the field of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency.

COMPENSATION is concerned with the relatively brief life of salesman Art Feldman, a second generation American living with a wife and three sons in the Bronx during the 1960's. Lacking formal education, unsuccessful as a small business owner, he tries to find gratification and meaning in a job that many of his co-workers regard as a con game. Health challenges limit the time Art has available to realize his purpose. Art ends up in door-to-door sales, peddling encyclopedias, sometimes on the road. Some of his co-workers see their job as an intricate con game, but Art begins to find it gratifying to connect with his customers, learn to speak their language, and be able to provide them with a product that might prove helpful for their children. The last five years of Art's relatively short life are marked by health challenges, culminating in a diagnosis of ALS. How can Art come to grips with his terminal illness? He perseveres through his physical decline as best he can. He finds refuge by living in the present, thankful for whatever functionality his body retains at any given point, but he also tries to retain a degree of control by determining to end things if necessary. Doctors are puzzled by his attitude. Why isn't he depressed? Is it relief at no longer carrying the burden of work? What's left in the end? What is Art's legacy?The story is very much character-driven, colored by the idiosyncratic individuals who populate a lower middle class Bronx neighborhood during the early to mid-1960's. Many are first and second generation Americans, some retaining elements of traditional life, others anxious to reject Old Word habits and climb the social ladder. It is also serves as a cultural history of an era when racial bigotry was flagrant in areas of the country and diverse sexual orientation was kept under wraps. Humor plays an important part throughout the narrative, helping characters to both deal with and escape the absurdities encountered in living one's life.

This effort is about love - I have found it with one woman, and I have dedicated every work to her. I will do the same here as well. The poems in Part One were sent to her one year for her birthday, a different one (and style) each day. It was me playfully illustrating the world as I see it with her in it.Part Two is also about that love, but differently formatted and approached with a more nuanced eye. "Our Entry for the Hottest Couple, 1997" was written for a local contest. We won, and we were pictured in the Oregonian on Valentine's Day that year."On the Porch, Underneath" is a long-form exploration of my deepest fear: losing her.This publication is also urgent. You have isolation, God, love, and urgency, but not the way you might think of it. I hope you enjoy it.

For most of America's history, the country's Christian foundation has been celebrated. However, more recently, especially in academic, left-leaning political, media and entertainment circles, the country's European immigrants in general are branded as ruthless conquerors. Along with an effort to delegitimize the American founding is an effort to delegitimize the government which sprang from that founding, putting at risk cherished and hard-won freedoms. Buried somewhere between truth and propaganda is the backstory of those who fled to the shores of the New World for religious freedom. They, and generations after them, believed God led them out of bondage, as He led the children of Israel out of Egypt."Fanning the Flames" is the second book in the Shining City on a Hill series. Using a mixture of historical and fictitious characters and events, Shining City recounts the manner in which the cultural, political and religious revolution known as the Protestant Reformation led to the founding of the United States and freedoms enshrined in the U.S. constitutional system of government.Five hundred years after the events in Shining City on a Hill, when storm clouds of antagonism to Christianity and threats to freedom of conscience once again cast an ominous shadow over the world, the tragic and triumphal stories of those who stood firm against shackles of tyranny for adherence to conscience is a poignant message, for central to the American founding is the concept that freedom comes from God.

From Connectivity to Community was written to help communities - including the small-to-midsize ones that make up the majority - develop the broadband and digital assets that the modern economy demands and turn them into inclusive prosperity and social and cultural growth. It is written for community leaders in local governments and regional districts...for members of legislatures, educators, technology providers, business leaders, agencies, economic development and regional planning organizations...for people who care deeply about the future of the place called home and are willing to take action to make it a dynamic and successful one. Growth in your local economy, in the social richness of your community and in its traditions and culture are the things that make a community worth living in. It is what attracts outsiders to settle there, what keeps people and employers from moving away, and what makes possible every other thing we love about the place called home. Today those things are under siege all over the world from massive waves of change in the economy, in society and in culture generated - as undersea earthquakes generate tidal waves - by technology change. This book is your guide to a new approach to economic development that will enable your community to adapt, survive and thrive amid the storm. If you are looking for advice on becoming a Smart City, you will find some of that here. But Smart City stuff is, frankly, just tinkering around the edges of the big, hairy, inescapable challenges of our time. Mastering a few technology tricks to make your municipality or county run better is good. But it is not going to change lives for the better. It will not create employment or drive inclusive growth. It will not keep the brightest youth from leaving town for greener pastures. It will not give birth to the next generation of employers or ensure that your people have the skills needed to work for them. You may start your journey with a Smart City project, but we hope you will notch up much greater achievements before the end.

Productivity improvement should never be your goal. It should simply be a conduit to free up the time, money and resources needed to drive organizational success.
