100 years ago the world was embroiled in a destructive conflict that proved to be a defining event in modern history. The First World War opened the door to a new age, filled with stories of tragedy, horror, and loss. Even those who survived came to be known as the "Lost Generation." Jus ad bellum is about a British soldier in World War One who undergoes a crisis of faith amidst the horrors he experiences on the Western Front.

Richard Fleming served as a scout with the elite U. S. Marine 1st Force Reconnaissance Company during the bloodiest years of the Vietnam War. Dropped deep into enemy territory, Recon relied on stealth and surprise to complete their mission--providing intelligence on enemy positions and conducting raids, prisoner snatches, and ambushes. Fleming's absorbing memoir recounts his transformation from idealistic recruit to cynical veteran as the war claimed the lives of his friends and the missions became ever more dangerous.

This book applies the concepts of Lean Six Sigma to the service industry. These concepts were developed in the manufacturing industry and have not been widely applied in the service space. The book uses a story telling approach about a cruise line in financial trouble that achieves turn around with Lean Six Sigma.

Inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Cavell, this book is a profoundly original philosophical work put together as a network of quotations, to show that our language is never our own and that ethics can be understood as an effect of our attitude to language. It is a meditation on justice and addresses the question of how to lead a non-violent life and acknowledge the humanity of others following 9/11 and extending right up to the current moment. Using extensive interdisciplinary sources, "Evil and Silence" investigates the nature of evil and the ways to make a life worth living in the face of such a fact of existence. It argues that we must reject the choice of violence as a justified way of life and embrace the creative efforts of nonviolence. The text begins with Socrates argument that it is never just to harm another and ends with Cage s exploration of silence as all the sounds we don t intend. Drawing on his past work in philosophy of language and music, Fleming develops arguments for the logic of nonviolence and the value of silence. He demonstrates that living consistently by way of silence and meaningful sound, understanding the music and language of our lives, is a justified response to the truth and miseries of evil.
