The Army believes that the U.S. will continue to be engaged in an era of ¿persistent conflict¿ -- a period of protracted confrontation among states, non-state, and individual actors increasingly willing to use violence to achieve their political and ideological ends. This manual is a revolutionary departure from past doctrine. Commanders will employ offensive, defensive, and civil support operations simultaneously as part of an interdependent joint force to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative, accepting prudent risk to create opportunities to achieve decisive results. This ed. will take us into the 21st century urban battlefields among the people without losing our capabilities to dominate the higher conventional end of the spectrum of conflict.

A lively account of our age-old quest for brighter colors, which changed the way we see the world, from the best-selling author of Proof: The Science of Booze From kelly green to millennial pink, our world is graced with a richness of colors. But our human-made colors haven't always matched nature's kaleidoscopic array. To reach those brightest heights required millennia of remarkable innovation and a fascinating exchange of ideas between science and craft that's allowed for the most luminous manifestations of our built and adorned world. In Full Spectrum, Rogers takes us on that globe-trotting journey, tracing an arc from the earliest humans to our digitized, synthesized present and future. We meet our ancestors mashing charcoal in caves, Silk Road merchants competing for the best ceramics, and textile artists cracking the centuries-old mystery of how colors mix, before shooting to the modern era for high-stakes corporate espionage and the digital revolution that's rewriting the rules of color forever. In prose as vibrant as its subject, Rogers opens the door to Oz, sharing the liveliest events of an expansive human quest--to make a brighter, more beautiful world--and along the way, proving why he's "one of the best science writers around."* *National Geographic

Leading futurist Bob Johansen shows how a new way of thinking, enhanced by new technologies, will help leaders break free of limiting labels and see new gradients of possibility in a chaotic world. The future will get even more perplexing over the next decade, and we are not ready. The dilemma is that we're restricted by rigid categorical thinking that freezes people and organizations in neatly defined boxes that often are inaccurate or obsolete. Categories lead us toward certainty but away from clarity, and categorical thinking moves us away from understanding the bigger picture. Sticking with this old way of thinking and seeing isn't just foolish, it's dangerous. Full-spectrum thinking is the ability to seek patterns and clarity outside, across, beyond, or maybe even without any boxes or categories while resisting false certainty and simplistic binary choices. It reveals our commonalities that are hidden in plain view. Bob Johansen lays out the core concepts of full-spectrum thinking and reveals the role that digital media—including gameful engagement, big-data analytics, visualization, blockchain, and machine learning—will play in facilitating and enhancing it. He offers examples of broader spectrums and new applications in a wide range of areas that will become possible first, then mandatory. This visionary book provides powerful ways to make sense of new opportunities and see the world as it really is.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Thinking across spectrums will become much easier. Our brains are very good at putting new things in old categories. We must teach our brains new tricks to help us think beyond those categories. #2 Categorical thinking allows little room for subtle differences. Full-spectrum thinking is both nuanced and scalable. Tension will remain, since cultures are good at detecting and reinforcing categories, but the spectrum of possibilities will continue to broaden. #3 Peter Drucker, the famous management guru, taught us that for the first half of your life, you should try many different kinds of work and make it a point to work with many different kinds of people. For the second half of life, you should only work on things you are passionate about and only work with people you love to work with. #4 Drucker was urging people to think beyond the constraints of categories. Don’t allow people to label you as this or that, and don’t limit yourself to a single career path just because it is a calling for you.

"You're about to be introduced to the UMAMI factor, the secret to sensational homemade beverages, including spirits, wine, beer, kombucha, and more. Chances are you may not have heard of umami, the taste impression created by certain amino acids in a food or beverage. Starting the novice off right with a thorough understanding of 'full-spectrum' fermentation theory, the book dives into the various preparation techniques and shows how umami-producing ingredients create beverages with a sensation of balance and roundness on the palate, tongue, nose and even throat. More than 7 recipes, sharp insight, and handy tips help the amateur fermentation chef conquer the next frontier in beverage science. Even the most experienced of fermentation afficionados will discover a philosophical yet practical approach to further exploration."--Back cover.

Full-Spectrum Responsive Photocatalytic Materials: From Fundamentals to Applications provides a comprehensive overview on the design, synthesis concepts, mechanisms, characterization techniques, and advances and limitations in applications of full-spectrum responsive photocatalytic materials. The book starts with the fundamentals of full-spectrum responsive materials. It then discusses the problems of most semiconductors that are not active in the whole solar spectrum and explains the benefits of utilizing full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts. Other sections describe examples of full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts classified by material types and provide the design principles and characterization protocols for these promising materials. Photocatalysis technology based on semiconductor materials holds great promise in various fields due to its potential advantages in energy-saving, cost and environmental impact. Maximizing the utilization of solar energy is always the target of pursuits in the areas of photocatalysis, and understanding and constructing appropriate full-spectrum (UV-VIS-NIR) responsive photocatalytic materials offer ways to better realize the practical utilization of photocatalysis. - Provides new insights into full-spectrum (UV-VIS-NIR) responsive photocatalysts and successful approaches for developing these materials - Assists readers working to develop more efficient catalysts and establish a solid structure–activity correlation - Suggests possibilities for the alteration of conventional photocatalysts to utilize the full spectrum of solar light
