Medieval Riverscapes
Fishermen, monks, saints, and dragons met in medieval riverscapes; their interactions reveal a rich and complex world. Using religious narrative sources to evaluate the environmental mentalities of medieval communities, Ellen F. Arnold explores the cultural meanings applied to rivers over a broad span of time, ca. 300-1100 CE. Hagiographical material, poetry, charters, chronicles, and historiographical works are explored to examine the medieval environmental imaginations about rivers, and how storytelling and memory are connected to lived experiences in riverscapes. She argues that rivers provided unique opportunities for medieval communities to understand and respond to ecological and socio-cultural transformations, and to connect their ideas about the shared religious past to hopes about the future.

The Links Between Science, Philosophy, and Military Theory
This study examines the links between science, philosophy, and military theory. The author uses two case studies to demonstrate the links between these disciplines. He presents an overview on the rise of Newtonian science, and he examines how the key frameworks and concepts of that science became interwoven into Western civilization to affect its philosophy with an emphasis on its interpretation by the German Romanticist philosopher Immanuel Kant. He then shows how Newtonian science and Kant's philosophy affected the military theory of Carl von Clausewitz. His second case study concerns the theory and philosophy of evolution developed by British philosopher Herbert Spencer and its influence on the military theory of J. F.C. Fuller. The author compares these two case studies to find commonalities between them that suggest a mechanism which explains how and why scientific theory and their philosophical interpretations eventually influence military theory. The author then uses this mechanism as a tool with which "new" sciences such as quantum mechanics, relativity, and complexity theory can be evaluated to see if and in what manner they will affect future military theories. The main concept of this mechanism is that science and philosophy, both consciously and unconsciously, provide frameworks for investigation and systems of knowledge for the military theorist. Finally, this study suggests that new definitions of the concepts of force, space, time, and knowledge will have an influence on future military theory. The shift from the Newtonian framework of cause and effect determinism to the new science concept of probabilities and trends-as well as the shift from the force of heavy mechanics to the new particle wave theories of force-will change man's concept of the battlefield, emphasizing the capability for rapid observation and action.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

UFO - Friend or Foe?
This revision contains corrections together with an index and a list of references.Millions of people believe that there are mysterious objects flying in the sky. They were originally described as Unidentified Flying Objects - hence UFOs - but have more recently been termed UAPs - Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.There are many more sightings of UAPs over land, than have been associated with maritime UFOs, which have been termed Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs). The abbreviation UAP is now used to cover both UFOs and USOs.UAPs seem to fall mainly into 2 distinct categories.They may be objects which are apparently metallic in construction, of many shapes and which can vary in size from larger than a car to being absolutely massive. Alternatively they can be balls, either of some form of plasma, or metallic, giving off or reflecting light, and varying from the size of a tennis ball upwards.This book looks at UFO sightings worldwide, and a t the various options for their origin.
