The ef?cacy of sound to penetrate the seas made acoustic systems in the past c- tury the leading tools for sensing objects in and measuring properties of the seas. For over sixty years The United States Of?ce of Naval Research (ONR) has been a major sponsor of undersea research and development at universities, national laboratories, and industrial organizations. Appropriately ONR is the sponsor of this monograph series. The intent of the series is to summarize recent accomplishments in, and to outline perspectives for, underwater acoustics in speci?c ?elds of research. The general ?eld has escalated in importance and spread broadly with richness and depth of understanding. It has also, quite naturally, become more specialized. The goal of this series is to present monographs that critically review both past and recent accomplishments in order to address the shortcomings in present und- standing. In this way, these works will bridge the gaps in understanding among the specialists and favorably color the direction of new research and development. Each monograph is intended to be a stand-alone advanced contribution to the ?eld. We trust that the reader will also ?nd that each is a critical introduction to related specialized topics of interest as well.

The foremost autorities on race relations in the armed forces recount the previously untold success story of how the U.S. Army became the most integrated institution in America. Charles C. Moskos and John Sibley Butler observe that the Army is the only place in America where blacks routinely boss around whites, and in this book they lay out the path by which the Army has promoted excellence across racial lines, while also showing how this military model can be adapted to fit the needs of civilian society. The Army way offers hope for our nation in a troubled time, and by following its example, Americans of all races can truly be all that we can be.

An exploration of how the idea of the Christian God has evolved over the millennia, showing the diverse ways in which Christians have understood the divine.Far from being the immutable "Rock of Ages" He is often assumed to be, the God of Christian history and tradition has had many different and often conflicting faces. 'Rock of Ages?' opens with the emergence of the Biblical God from the pantheon of deities in bronze age Canaan, and culminates in the radical images of God that were appearing at the end of the twentieth-century, providing a historical overview of the different and sometimes conflicting ways in which He has been understood. By examining the ideas of key writers down the ages, whose ecclesiastical or intellectual power has allowed their insights to become embedded in the mainstream traditions of the Christian churches, Butler seeks to answer one central question: Why is it that people across the ages have claimed to have seen so many different and sometimes contradictory faces of the Christian God? Or more specifically: If there is one true God, and if He is known to those who believe in him through the revelation of Himself in history, why hasn't a consistent and unified understanding of Him emerged in the witness and testimony of those who claim to have seen his face? In the best of scholarly traditions, Butler presents his work as a clear account of his own quest for an answer; but although suggesting possibilities, he leaves others to come to their own judgements using the evidence available. Written in a clear and attractive style, this is a book for anyone without any prior knowledge of history, theology or philosophy, be they atheists, Christians looking to explore their faith, students or simply anyone interested in the history of religion.

Enthusiasm for e-commerce and the Internet has seen wide fluctuations, as the price of Internet and e-commerce firms' stock first increased and then declined dramatically. Business schools rushed to develop new courses related to electronic commerce to satisfy student demand, possibly because some saw this as a route to riches. There was also an increase in applied literature, which was to satisfy the demand for information on how to compete in this new environment, or on how to exploit the funds that appeared to be available for equity investments in these new ventures. The world of E-business is exciting, especially the prospect of making a lot of money. However, the degree to which e-commerce is linked to entrepreneurship in the longer term provides the focus for this volume. As with other new technologies such as the telephone, radio, television, and computer, growth was rapid in the initial stages of this technology. However, the degree to which the Internet and e-commerce will alter our theoretical perspectives on entrepreneurship has yet to be fully analyzed. This volume attempts to take a initial step by examining the intersection of e-commerce and entrepreneurship.
