Book Description
In my life, I have been fortunate enough to become a Professor, practice as a Consultant and establish an organization as an Entrepreneur. Furthermore, my proximity to the Government, International Development Financing Institutions and Corporates, gave me unique exposure and experience. Indeed, these multiple roles have helped me acquire a holistic perspective on environmental management and sustainability. My extensive travel across continents has added yet another dimension of professional and personal experience that I really cherish. I met amazing people as I globe trotted and made wonderful friends in this process. I started writing posts on my blog site since 2014. The focus of the posts was to raise issues of concern on environmental management and sustainability relevant to India. Today there are more than 1300 followers and more than 45000 views. Enthused by this response, I released a compilation of 60 select posts early this year captioned "SIXTY SHADES OF GREEN." This book has been well received. The second book presents 25 posts that reflect my personal experiences (I call them BLUE) and another 25 posts that continue to deal with issues regarding environmental management and sustainability (the GREEN). It is really hard to put the posts in the separate boxes such as GREEN and BLUE as there are several overlaps and intersects that represent various SHADES of BLUE and GREEN. In all the posts, like before, I use humor and satire and tell the "stories." Most of the 'stories' are not necessarily real ... but created from my experiences and suitably crafted for the purpose of sharing. 'My Professor Friend' is a character I have created, essentially to provide another point of view. I simply adore this character and often wish that he was real! Sometimes I cite names of people, only to project "real world" and a feel of "authenticity." No offence is intended to anyone. And I do hope that the readers understand this perspective. The messages of the stories are the key takeaways. But these messages are often hidden. One of the characteristics of the posts is that while narrating these stories, knowledge is embedded in an implicit manner. Sometimes references are cited for further reading. The book could potentially be used as a supplement to a course on Environmental Management & Sustainability. Some of the posts could be used to open up group discussions or formulate assignments. I do hope that you enjoy this collection of 50 posts of the shades of BLUE and GREEN.

Conquering The Power Of Death

Author: David Lee Foster
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1468558773
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 141

Book Description
Conquering The Power Of Death details the journey of one Marine radioman through 1970-71 Vietnam in the face of ubiquitous death. Whether using radio skills to call in air strikes and artillery or to help Marines contact their loved ones through the Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS), the young Marine’s encounter with death as a seemingly unstoppable force provides a glimpse into the horrors of war. Ambushes, daring rescues, poignant relationships, and civilian deaths compete with survival, maturity, and rites of passage to reveal life and death in a combat zone and afterwards. The intricacies of a Tactical Recovery of Aircraft Personnel (TRAP) unit’s day to day efforts to rescue downed pilots and the sometimes mundane routine of MARS personnel plying their skills to keep Marines in touch with the “world” only highlight death’s ever present threat to mind, body, and soul. Death’s presence on the battlefield, in the “rear”, and in the ongoing lives of the Marines long after the war, however, begins to identity death’s ”Achilles’ Heel”; unwavering faith, love, and humility prove potent antidotes to death’s destructive prowess. Enmeshed within the obvious need for the warrior Marine’s physical survival lies the need of the Marine war veteran to cope with a life scarred by trauma and loss; a timeless quest for any veteran and one examined in depth by Conquering The Power Of Death. Death, mythological death, romantic death, and death defined by the artist’s keen insight into the human condition provide the yardstick for the author’s measurement of death’s power while faith, scripture, discipline and love afford the author invaluable insights into the human ability to deal with a preordained force. A highly personal plumbing of the depths where death resides and reigns in war provides a unique context for Conquering The Power of Death as well as an opportunity to unpack the emotions which travel with every combat warrior. It also provides a glimpse into Death stripped of its mystique, its presumed power, and its claimed finality.
