Soft cover. Condizione: Good. 5th or later Edition. Commissioned by President Lyndon B. Johnson, this landmark document—famous for concluding that "our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal"—stands as one of the most significant and searing cultural assessments of race relations, systemic inequality, and civil unrest in 20th-century American history. A very well-preserved, structurally excellent early paperback edition of this historic document, complete with the original 32-page mid-book photographic insert documenting the events of 1967. Binding: Mass-market paperback. Surprisingly tight, square, and solid binding with no spine splitting or loose leaves typical of this edition.

Softcover / Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. First edition. Softcover. Nearly 3,000 people died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In Lower Manhattan, on a field in Pennsylvania, and along the banks of the Potomac, the United States suffered the single largest loss of life from an enemy attack on its soil. In November 2002 the United States Congress and President George W. Bush established by law the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission. This independent, bipartisan panel was directed to examine the facts and circumstances surrounding the September 11 attacks, identify lessons learned, and provide recommendations to safeguard against future acts of terrorism.

Wraps. Condizione: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 8.25 inches by 10.75 inches. xii, 75, [1] pages. Illustrated front cover. Some red ink marks noted. Figures. Tables. References. This is one of the National Academies Compass Series. Astronauts who venture beyond the protection of Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere risk exposure to levels of radiation far exceeding those on Earth. Of all the risks, this one is probably the most straightforward to controlâ"by providing adequate shielding. However, because shielding adds weight, cost, and complexity to space vehicles, it is very important for designers to have a good, quantitative understanding of the risk and its degree of certainty. This report assesses our understanding of radiation hazards in space. It also considers the additional research needed to reduce the areas of uncertainty, research that must be completed prior to undertaking the detailed design of a vehicle carrying crew members into space for periods of extended exposure. The report finds that it will take more than a decade of research to answer even the narrowest set of key questions. The nation has backed away from a specific timetable for human exploration of the moon and Mars. Yet it seems plausible that such expeditions will be mounted sometime in the first quarter of the 21st century, especially given the recent resurgence of interest in possible life on Mars from the study of meteorites. It becomes clear, when the lengthy time scale of the research is also taken into account, that the present report is indeed timely and should receive prompt consideration by NASA planners. NASA's long-range plans include possible human exploratory missions to the moon and Mars within the next quarter century. Such missions beyond low Earth orbit will expose crews to transient radiation from solar particle events as well as continuous high-energy galactic cosmic rays ranging from energetic protons with low mean linear energy transfer (LET) to nuclei with high atomic numbers, high energies, and high LET. Because the radiation levels in space are high and the missions long, adequate shielding is needed to minimize the deleterious health effects of exposure to radiation. The knowledge base needed to design shielding involves two sets of factors, each with quantitative uncertaintyâ"the radiation spectra and doses present behind different types of shielding, and the effects of the doses on relevant biological systems. It is only prudent to design shielding that will protect the crew of spacecraft exposed to predicted high, but uncertain, levels of radiation and biological effects. Because of the uncertainties regarding the degree and type of radiation protection needed, a requirement for shielding to protect against large deleterious, but uncertain, biological effects may be imposed, which in turn could result in an unacceptable cost to a mission. It therefore is of interest to reduce these uncertainties in biological effects and shielding requirements for reasons of mission feasibility, safety, and cost.…

Wraps. Condizione: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches, by 1.5 inches (thick). [3], 746, [3] pages. Illustrations. Endnotes. Blueprints for Action. Appendices. The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) was an independent commission of the United States of America established in 2018 to make recommendations to the President and Congress to "advance the development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and associated technologies to comprehensively address the national security and defense needs of the United States". It issued its final report in March 2021, saying that the U.S. is not sufficiently prepared to defend or compete against China in the AI era. The report's recommendations include: dramatically increasing non-defense federal spending on AI research and development, doubling every year from $2 billion in 2022, to $32 billion in 2026. That would bring it up to a level similar to spending on biomedical research creation of a Digital Corps to bring skilled tech workers into government; founding of a Digital Service Academy: an accredited university providing subsidized education in exchange for a commitment to work for a time in government include civil rights and civil liberty reports for new AI systems or major updates to existing systems; expanding allocations of employment-based green cards, and giving them to every AI Ph.D. graduate from an accredited U.S. university; reforming the acquisition management system Department of Defense to make it faster and easier to introduce new technologies. The Final Report presents the NSCAI's strategy for winning the artificial intelligence era. The 16 chapters explain the steps the United States must take to responsibly use AI for national security and defense, defend against AI threats, and promote AI innovation. The accompanying Blueprints for Action provide detailed plans for the U.S. Government to implement the recommendations. The Commission's duties were: 1) To consider the methods and means necessary to advance the development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and associated technologies to comprehensively address the national security and defense needs of the United States. 2) Submit to the President and Congress reports on the findings of the Commission and such recommendations that the Commission may have for action by the executive branch and Congress related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and associated technologies, including recommendations to more effectively organize the Federal Government. On March 1, 2021â"following a series of FACA-mandated public meetingsâ"the AI Commission approved its final report. The report urges Congress and the President to implement key safeguards on federal AI deployment, including mandating AI impact and risk assessments, updating standards for Privacy Act notices and privacy impact assessments, establishing an independent auditor for AI systems, empowering the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to conduct AI oversight, and establishing a task force to recommend legal restrictions on the use of AI.…
