How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security

How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security

Hijackings and bombings have plagued civil aviation since 1930 and air rage incidents are on the rise. While there is aircraft and inflight training available for air marshals other first responders receive minimal training on inflight security awareness and protocols. There are no other resources currently available to flight crews or armed first responders that specifically address inflight security and how to address threats of disturbances on airplanes. How to Stop a Hijacking provides readers with fundamental principles on how to think more critically about onboard security threats. The aircraft cabin poses unique environment and security challenges and first responders can apply security awareness and critical thinking skills to establish a safer environment in the cabin and airport for everyone onboard. The lessons in this book are driven with the central objective of teaching the reader how to counter inflight aggression and maintain tactical control of the cabin. Written by a former federal air marshal instructor this book looks at the recent rash of air rage incidents and violence on airplanes in addition to the real and ever-present threat of hijack or potential explosive device. How to Stop a Hijacking is a practical guide that offers methodological and tactically proven strategies for stopping violent acts onboard an aircraft inflight. | How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security

Puppetry Puppet Animation and the Digital Age

Puppetry Puppet Animation and the Digital Age

Rolf Giesen’s Puppetry Puppet Animation and the Digital Age explores the unique world of puppetry animation and its application in the digital age. With the advent of digital animation many individuals see puppetry and 2D animation as being regulated to a niche market. Giesen’s text argues against this viewpoint by demonstrating the pure aesthetic value they have as well as examples of some of the greatest cinematic uses of puppets. Such samples include The Adventures of Prince Achmed Ladislas Starevich O’Brien Harryhausen and Danforth Trnka and Švankmajer Aardman and Laika Studios ParaNorman and the Boxtrolls. Even live-action blockbusters such as the Star Wars saga utilize puppetry for costume applications as noted within the text. The use of puppets not only helps create a wonderous world and memorable characters but is also one of the purest extensions of an artist. Key Features Includes interviews with past and present practitioners of model animation as well as computer animation Reviews of classic and recent entries in both fields Comparison of what is better in stop motion versus computer animation A detailed history of animation and stop motion films

Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

The Amazon region is the focus of intense conflict between conservationists concerned with deforestation and advocates of agro-industrial development. This book focuses on the contributions of environmental organizations to the preservation of Brazilian Amazonia. It reveals how environmental organizations such as Greenpeace Friends of the Earth WWF and others have fought fiercely to stop deforestation in the region. It documents how the history of frontier expansion and environmental struggle in the region is linked to Brazil’s position in an evolving capitalist world-economy. It is shown how Brazil’s effort to become a developed country has led successive Brazilian governments to devise development projects for Amazonia. The author analyses how globalization has led to the expansion of international commodity chains in the region particularly for mineral ores soybeans and beef. He shows how environmental organizations have politicized these commodity chains as weapons of conservation through boycotting certain products while other pro-development groups within Brazil claim that such organizations threaten Brazil's sovereignty over its own resources. | Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development
