An integrated resource for greater happiness, Rock &amp; Water will keep you moving peacefully through the unpredictable ups and downs of life. Just as a stream seamlessly wanders through the natural world over, around, or surrounded by rocks, the purpose of Rock and Water is to provide access to basic skills to help us enhance our happiness in the midst of the meanderings of our everyday lives, regardless of the obstacles (in particular the emotional strain of modern living). These skills are based primarily on current research and practice in the fields of cognitive-behavioral psychology and mindfulness/acceptance, two disciplines that have mostly been isolated from each other. Rock and Water is research-based and practical, while also being philosophical and personal; and includes several narratives from the life experiences of a wide variety of prominent people in history (Viktor Frankl, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Audrey Hepburn, Mohandas Gandhi and many others).

An engaging guide for cultivating assertiveness to live a happier life. Confidence and decisiveness are critical life skills that many people struggle to develop. For readers who want to take charge of their lives, The Four Paths of Assertiveness provides an indispensable guide to developing and practicing this crucial ability. Youth advocate Scott Cooper and psychologist Naoki Yoshinaga, PhD, identify four categories of assertiveness--social, behavioral, emotional, and mental--and explain how to hone these skills to live a happier life and develop healthier relationships. Cooper and Yoshinaga expand the definition of assertiveness to include the core elements of speaking up, jumping in, embracing compassion, and accepting life. Speaking up is critical for standing up for ourselves. Jumping in helps us achieve our goals. Embracing compassion supports us in responding to the universal challenge of suffering, including our own. And accepting life means coping with ups and downs. Each chapter focuses on how to practically develop these four aspects of assertiveness and features tools for how to apply these strategies in everyday life. Grounded in decades of happiness studies and current trends in behavioral psychology, this guide teaches readers how to live intentionally while staying true to themselves and strengthening their relationships.

This book discusses the practice of no-fly zones in international affairs.  The first no-fly zone was imposed over northern Iraq immediately after the first Gulf War, and since then they have become a regular recourse for policymakers confronted with humanitarian crises. They have come to be viewed as a feasible, essentially non-violent form of intervention that can be performed entirely from the air in a situation where some form of action is widely thought to be necessary but the political will for a ground operation is insufficient. Nonetheless, even among policy makers there is limited understanding of the requirements, the shortcomings and the potentialities of no-fly zones. This is the first comprehensive work on this topic, and examines the assumptions surrounding no-fly zones by focusing on issues such as authority, cost, possibility of escalation and effectiveness. Looking back at 25 years of experience with no-fly zones, the book’s goal is to look at what historical lessons may be drawn and to make some predictions with regard to the politics and strategy of no-fly zones in the future.  This book will be of much interest to students of air power, security studies, Middle Eastern Studies and IR in general
