Zombies Christmas Carol
There will be no singing this Christmas - only screaming! Marvel presents Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol - with a ghoulish twist! As London is overrun by a plague known as the "Hungry Death" - a disease spreading rapidly among the surplus population - the poor turn into the undead and hunger unendingly. When the disease spreads from the workhouses to the public, only one person can turn the zombie tide and save Christmas for all: that humbug, Ebenezer Scrooge. God help us, everyone...

The Human in Command
This book brings together experienced military leaders and researchers in the human sciences to offer current operational experience and scientific thought on the issue of military command, with the intention of raising awareness of the uniquely human aspects of military command. It includes chapters on the personal experiences of senior commanders, new concepts and treatises on command theory, and empirical findings from experimental studies in the field.
Solving the People Puzzle
The 21st century has brought global instability, and special operations forces are the logical force of choice for success. As a group that favours humans over hardware, it makes sense that their tool of choice is cultural intelligence. Spencer makes a convincing argument for the powerful union of the force of choice with the tool of choice.
The Insubordinate and the Noncompliant
The Unwilling and the Reluctant: Theoretical Perspectives on Disobedience in the Military and The Apathetic and the Defiant: Case Studies of Canadian Mutiny and Disobedience, 1812-1919 are the first two volumes in a series devoted to disobedience issues in the Canadian military. Now with The Insubordinate and the Noncompliant, the trilogy is complete. Military leadership has both formal and informal dimensions. The formal leadership of any organization must ensure that it minimizes the divergence between institutional aims and the actions of informal leaders. When this separation occurs, the result is sometimes mutiny. These incidents of insubordination and noncompliance represent a form of dialogue between military personnel and their leadership. The Insubordinate and the Noncompliant offers a perspective on the Canadian experience with military mutiny in the twentieth century in an effort to provide relevant lessons for today.
Communication: Breakdowns and Breakthroughs
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. One cannot not communicate, says one axiom of Paul Watzlawick and emphasizes that everything we do and everything we leave is a message to ones counterpart. Where communication takes place, conflict is close. From minor misunderstandings to war, from communication refusal to communication overload: the combination of communication and conflict has different degrees of development.
Shooting Up
From hallucinogenic mushrooms and LSD, to coca and cocaine; from Homeric warriors and the Assassins to the first Gulf War and today's global insurgents - drugs have sustained warriors in the field and have been used as weapons of warfare, either as non-lethal psychochemical weapons or as a means of subversion. Lukasz Kamienski explores why and how drugs have been issued to soldiers to increase their battlefield performance, boost their courage and alleviate stress and fear - as well as for medical purposes. He also delves into the history of psychoactive substances that combatants 'self-prescribe', a practice which dates as far back as the Vikings. Shooting Up is a comprehensive and original history of the relationship between fighting men and intoxicants, from Antiquity till the present day, and looks at how drugs will determine the wars of the future in unforeseen and remarkable ways.
Transforming Command
The book tells the story of the theory and history of the mission command approach (decentralized command) and the attempts by different armies to adopt and reform according to this approach.
