Brace for Impact
We live in a world that is increasingly uncivil and unstable. Acts of violence take place in our homes, schools, theaters, churches and shopping malls -- places the news now refers to as "soft targets." From the so-called "knockout game" to road rage and widespread civil unrest, violence has become a persistent part of life in our world today. When we need protection more than ever, budget shortfalls leave police and 911 systems short-staffed... or completely dysfunctional. Our public debate on the subject has become mired in a tar pit of political rhetoric and divisiveness. Despite our proximity in great numbers, many citizens feel isolated and alone, wondering what to do if trouble knocks on their door. BRACE FOR IMPACT is a clear, layman-level look at these critical issues. Author Michael Marks has served in law enforcement as well as in Afghanistan; his book distills a lifetime of awareness and avoidance training into bite-sized chunks that are easy for anyone to grasp and apply. This book is a must-read for anybody who is interested in a better understanding of the risks, and low-to-no-cost strategies that will make life safer for you and your family.

The Prison as Metaphor
Whether wittingly or unwittingly, scholars of international relations have peppered the field with a wide range of metaphors that serve as vehicles for theorizing about world affairs. Yet as pervasive as metaphors are in international relations theory, theorists' efforts to employ metaphorical imagery to suggest new ways of thinking have been haphazard and sporadic. In this book, Michael P. Marks suggests a new metaphor with which to conceptualize international relations: the modern prison. Many of the same questions that are asked about the so-called «anarchy» of the international system are also frequently asked of life among prison inmates. Marks finds that lessons from inmate relations can be applied to the study of international affairs. This comparison between the prison and international relations reveals how the construction of human interaction in both realms is infinitely complex.

Metaphors in International Relations Theory
Metaphors constitute a fundamental way in which humans understand the world around them. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of metaphors in theories of international relations. Until recently, conscious attention to metaphors in theories of international relations has been haphazard and sporadic. This book examines the metaphors that inform the major paradigms in international relations theory. Readers will discover that the vast majority of the terminology cataloguing, defining, and naming theories, concepts, and analytical tools pertaining to the study of international relations are metaphorical in nature. The book concludes that metaphors are an essential element in all aspects of international relations theory.
Revisiting Metaphors in International Relations Theory
This book presents an analysis of how metaphors are essential elements in the study of international relations. It acknowledges the fact that theory and practice in international relations often rest on common metaphorical concepts which have implications for the ways people around the world pursue their lives. Because of the increased attention metaphors have received as integral elements in political discourse, there is a need to investigate metaphorical concepts that are not neutral in their implications for understanding international relations. Inasmuch as government policy is shaped by metaphorical concepts that originate in the academic realm, and given that scholarly works are therefore partially involved in inspiring policy, the author subjects a range of metaphors in international relations theory to critical interrogation.
