Este Libro en un enfoque diferente critica a las instituciones y gobiernos que hicieron posible que este conflicto empezara. Ademas es un sincero homenaje al valor y el sacrificio de los honorables soldados norteamericanos y mienbros de la coalicion que perdieron sus vidas; al pueblo de Iraq que sufrio las horrendas consequencias de la guerra en forma directa.
This is the true and compelling story of the sensationally successful joint US and UK campaign to liberate Iraq from the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein from its conception to dramatic conclusion. The author describes the meticulous planning, and looks into the logistical and political problems. He also delves into those curses of modern warfare, friendly fire incidents and collateral damage
Understanding behavioral traits that determine the ability of predators to suppress pest populations at spatial scales larger than those evaluated in the laboratory may help in selecting the right species and release rates for biological control programs. My thesis is that predation rates within whole plants are driven by the interaction between prey distribution, individual predator patch-to-patch behavior and consumption rates within patch units. I propose that results derived from simple laboratory settings can be useful to predict predation rates within whole plants, if they are combined with spatially explicit descriptions of prey distribution and predator movement patterns. I assume that the leaflet is a spatial scale at which predators and prey behave as in laboratory settings, at least in experiments without replacement of consumed prey. My study extended from the leaflet to the plant scale, encompassing both the relatively homogeneous prey patch unit, leaflet, and the more structurally complex combination of leaflets, leaves, branches and main stem.
