TERRORISM, TREASON AND GLOBAL ORGANIZED CRIME EQUAL UNPARALLELED EXCITEMENT Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon tells the story of how terrorism, treason and global organized crime converge to place the most potent symbol of American military power under the control of a determined and ruthless group of heavily armed and extremely dangerous men who can't be stopped, yet who must be stopped. This global superthriller is based on author David Alexander's extensive and detailed research into the history of the Pentagon, combined with first-hand knowledge of the Pentagon's most closely held secrets by this veteran defense insider, all of which has been artfully woven into a masterpiece of high-concept suspense fiction. In fact, the combined impact of accuracy and authenticity blended with superb storytelling, may find some readers asking themselves if perhaps some parts of the story shouldn't have been made public, for fear that terrorists or global criminals might some day use it as the basis for a successful plan of attack. Yet the assault on the Pentagon portrayed in the book is no standard terrorist martyrdom mission either. Those who've taken over the headquarters of the United States military have an exit strategy that has been brilliantly devised to shuttle them to safety and provide for the enjoyment of their ill-gotten profits -- a scam on a global scale that promises to net the Pentagon's hijackers a considerable fortune. By any standard, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon is action thriller fiction at its boldest and best. It's one of the achievements that have earned David Alexander a secure place at the top of the list of the world's masters of the thriller game.

"What a story Habu Patch has locked it down ... pure dynamite " -- Ken Rice, Book Reviewer"Draws first blood on every page ... read this one only if you've got enough nerve to take on the deadliest pilots in the sky..." -- St. Paul IntelligencerHABU PATCH... Catch this plane if you can. HABU PATCH... Danger rides the skies over Russian airspace as a last-ditch military action takes place below. The stakes have never been higher. HABU PATCH... No one has written a technothriller about the legendary SR-71 Blackbird quite this powerful or quite this good. HABU PATCH... Habu Patch is raw-edged excitement ... David Alexander makes the SR-71 stand on its tail and do tricks. HABU PATCH... A breathtaking achievement by author David Alexander featuring high-adrenaline excitement from cover to cover. HABU PATCH... The sky's no limit for this exceptional mega-thriller from one of the top authors in the field." David Alexander milks the SR-71 for every last burning drop of all-fire action, gripping drama and high excitement, in this slam-bang tale of heroism, intrigue and aerial derring-do. The flight scenes featuring the legendary Habu of the book's title reveal a knowledge of the aircraft that few other authors, experts and even pilots themselves, can match. Some of the flight scenes are absolutely incredible. Habu Patch is one action thriller you won't want to miss." -- Brian Condon, Book Reviewer"David Alexander might well boast of stories ripped from today's headlines ... other authors might justly boast of stories rippped from David Alexander ... his is a unique talent." -- Camden News Service

Why Don't Jumbo Jets Flap Their Wings?

Why Don't Jumbo Jets Flap Their Wings?

David Alexander

Rutgers University Press
2009

What do a bumble bee and a 747 jet have in common? It’s not a trick question. The fact is they have quite a lot in common. They both have wings. They both fly. And they’re both ideally suited to it. They just do it differently. Why Don’t Jumbo Jets Flap Their Wings? offers a fascinating explanation of how nature and human engineers each arrived at powered flight. What emerges is a highly readable account of two very different approaches to solving the same fundamental problems of moving through the air, including lift, thrust, turning, and landing. The book traces the slow and deliberate evolutionary process of animal flight—in birds, bats, and insects—over millions of years and compares it to the directed efforts of human beings to create the aircraft over the course of a single century. Among the many questions the book answers: Why are wings necessary for flight? How do different wings fly differently? When did flight evolve in animals? What vision, knowledge, and technology was needed before humans could learn to fly? Why are animals and aircrafts perfectly suited to the kind of flying they do? David E. Alexander first describes the basic properties of wings before launching into the diverse challenges of flight and the concepts of flight aerodynamics and control to present an integrated view that shows both why birds have historically had little influence on aeronautical engineering and exciting new areas of technology where engineers are successfully borrowing ideas from animals.

Principles of Emergency Planning and Management

Principles of Emergency Planning and Management

Oxford University Press
2002

As interest in planning for emergencies and disasters burgeons, and educational and training programs proliferate, Principles of emergency planning and management is the first book to meet the need for a concise yet comprehensive and systematic primer on how to prepare for a disaster. Providing readers with a comprehensive, systematic, yet concise introduction to effective preparation for disasters, it provides a unified starting point encompassing the scattered and parochial literature in this nascent field of academic enquiry and practical endeavor. The book provides a general introduction to the methods, procedures, protocols and strategies of emergency planning, with emphasis on situations in industrialized countries and the local level of organization (i.e. cities, municipalities, metropolitan areas and small regions), though with ample reference to national and international levels. Rather than concentrating on the practices of any one country or state, the author focuses on general principles. Principles of emergency planning and management is designed to be a reference source and manual from which emergency managers can extract ideas, suggestions and pro-forma methodologies to help them design and implement emergency plans. A comprehensive all-hazards approach is adopted, with frequent reference to the most important individual hazards and the planning and management needs that they create. Twelve examples of actual emergency planning and management problems are analyzed in detail. Principles of emergency planning and management is written especially for the new generation of emergency planners and managers that is emerging as a result of intensified governmental interest in disaster preparedness. Many of them will occupy positions in government or other organizations that require emergency plans. The book will also be of value to students of disasters and hazards who have a practical interest in how disasters are planned for and managed, and to professional workers and trainees who will eventually have to participate in disaster plans. Principles of emergency planning and management is designed to be easily integrated with training courses in emergency preparedness.
