The Military Science of Star Wars by George Beahm Pdf

George Beahm, a former U.S. Army major, draws on his experience to discuss the military science of the sprawling Star Wars universe: its personnel, weapons, technology, tactics and strategy, including an analysis of its key battles to explain how the outmanned and outgunned rebels ultimately prevailed against overwhelming forces. Contrasting the military doctrine of the real world with the fictional world of Star Wars, the author constructively criticizes the military strengths and weaknesses of Darth Vader’s Galactic Empire and Kylo Ren’s First Order... From Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) to Rogue One (2016), this timely book demystifies the operational arts in an accessible and entertaining way for military personnel and civilians. Replete with a glossary of military terms, this book is supplemented with an annotated bibliography. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

An “authoritative, comprehensive, well written, and entertaining” guide to staying alive in the desert from a Texas Parks and Wildlife veteran (Library Journal). Remote desert locations, including the Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico, southern Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, draw adventurers of all kinds, from the highly skilled and well prepared to urban cowboys who couldn’t lead themselves, much less a horse, to water. David Alloway’s goal in this book is to help all of them survive when circumstances beyond their control strand them in the desert environment. In simple, friendly language, enlivened with humor and stories from his own extensive experience, Alloway—a naturalist and search-and-rescue veteran who’s worked with the US Air Force on survival skills—here offers a practical, comprehensive handbook for both short-term and long-term survival in the Chihuahuan and other North American deserts.

Winter Survival Tactics - Necessary Items For Your Vehicle by Dueep Jyot Singh,John Davidson Pdf

Table of Contents Introduction Equipment for Building Fires Making Your Own Char- Cloth Up to date paper maps Food and Water Easy to Make High-Calorie Granola Bars Dried Meat Pemmican Extra Batteries For Your Cell Phone Charger Weaponry Clothing Hypothermia Treatment Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was getting to be a bit sick and tired of all those idiotic escapist story so-called romantic novel theme lines, when a woman got into her car, got lost because she did not have a map, did not know how to read a map, and then she left her car and went off looking for shelter. And of course she found the house of her Prince charming, deep in the woods. Please understand that authors write such stupid books, because their publishers want them to write such unrealistic books. And nowadays, there is a trend of an expectant mother, going off in the snow, – naturally, she is a single mother, – and she has to reach her destination, in the snow, and naturally on page 2, there she is, the stupid wench, stuck in the snow and the ice. Any person who has two go out in the cold weather, especially when it is snowing is going to get stuck 88% of the time and this silly female is going to die of exposure/hypothermia. But this being an utterly brainless B grade novel, she gets out of her car and staggers out, only to faint at the door of a multimillionaire Sheriff/cowboy/business tycoon/Arab Prince with American mother/tall dark and handsome and single or European royalty who is really going to be thrilled at the thought of marrying a single mother, who had a temporary relationship or one night stand with her boss/punk boyfriend/live in partner and bringing up somebody else’s baby, just because the mother is such a brainless but bosomy babe. And he is going to take her in, and she is going to have her baby in that cabin, without the help of a doctor, because all the lines are down, and both of them are going to live happily ever after. It says so on page 186, just before The End. Excuse me while I take some time out to gag. So, this book is for all of those who have to go out in the cold, willy-nilly, and not only are this good survival tactics, for the time when we are going to suffer from the nuclear winter, but also it is a complete guide of what you, man or woman, should have in your vehicle, when you are going out in hostile terrain. You may also find some real-life experiences, based on sometimes funny sometimes grim incidents, in a very interesting life, in the midst of a very outdoorsy type active family. You may find yourself a bit perplexed at these experiences but then they took place in other times, other climes and other lands. But they are real-life experiences and could happen to anybody.

A Source of Wilderness Novice Survival Skills by Donald F. Grantham Pdf

Modern man, or woman for that matter, from city, town, or farm has little knowledge of the real wilderness. Many hunters, fisherfolk, joggers, backpackers, hikes and adventures know how to handle a prepared path, planned campsite or landscaped trail but the real woods were every thing, and I mean every thing is 'natural' they are lost. They have never seen any food walking around or any plants out of a plastic package. Thus off the planned path they hit the panic button and may needlessly die. A considerable number of people lost in the wilds die every year just because they did not have the basic knowledge to survive. A recent example from the Western states was a group of people perished in the woods with a host of good food all around. They just didn't know what to eat as they had never seen it growing in the ground. Few of today's citizen realize they are never more than a few seconds from trouble as their car rolls to a stop many miles from civilization with a dead engine. Every year many people buy a gun and become hunters. They know they are hunters, they now have a hunting license. The license gives them no knowledge of the woods, but they don't realize this until they get lost on the first trip. Some die. Some get themselves out with just dumb luck and fear to ever return, to the woods again many hours of true fun have been lost forever. This book could have helped save a life or made their trip a fun adventure to be enjoyed again and again. This book is full of basic information and how to for the novice, but the experienced outdoors person will find a wealth of useful information here as well. There are details on many different ways to live in the outdoors with little professional 'equipment' some may be new or a little different to other books on the subject, to build a fire, break in boots, walk, approach game, travel, finding food, water, shelter, how to cook without pots or pans, tell coming weather, what works in many places and what doesn 't. How to make the things you need with only what tools you can devise or may have with you at the time is stressed as is outdoor first aid and confidence. All subjects very different to what you will experience in town or in a formal camping, backpacking or hiking situation. This book is different in that everything here has been tested over and over all over the country to be sure everything will work for the novice as well as the experienced outdoors person. This is not a table top or book shelf book it is a book to put in your pocket and take with you. It may well save a life.
