The New Age of Naval Power in the Indo-Pacific, edited by Catherine L. Grant, Alessio Patalano, and James A. Russell, provides an original framework in which five “factors of influence” explain how and why naval power matters in this pivotal part of the world. An international group of contributors make the case that these five factors explain the extent to which different states in the region use naval power. This book offers a fresh approach for academics and policy makers seeking to navigate the complexity of maritime security and regional affairs.

Although Indigenous peoples are active citizens of the Americas, many Spanish language teachers lack the knowledge and understanding of their history, culture, and languages that is needed to present the Spanish language in context. By presenting a more complete picture of the Spanish speaking world, Indigenous America in the Spanish Language Classroom by Anne Fountain invites teachers to adjust their curricula to create a more inclusive classroom. https://press.georgetown.edu/Book/Indigenous-America-in-the-Spanish-Language-Classroom

Beyond Virtue Ethics by Caldwell University professor Stephen Meawad offers a distinctive approach to virtue ethics, arguing not simply for the importance of “struggle” to virtue ethics, but that “struggle” itself is a manifestation of virtue.

In Subversion, King's College London professor Andreas Krieg examines how malicious state and nonstate actors take advantage of the information space to sow political chaos.

The idea of “cyber war” has played a dominant role in both academic and popular discourse concerning the nature of statecraft in the cyber domain. However, this lens of war and its expectations for death and destruction may distort rather than help clarify the nature of cyber competition and conflict. In Deter, Disrupt, or Deceive, University of Texas School of Law Dean Robert Chesney, Center for Security Studies at ETH Zurich senior researcher Max Smeets, and a team of distinguished contributors debate the logics and implication of a reframing of cyber war. Taken as a whole, the chapters give rise to a unique dialogue, illustrating areas of agreement and disagreement among leading experts and placing all of it in conversation with the larger fields of international relations and intelligence studies.

Since the earliest days of the Cold War, American intelligence agencies have worked to launch spies in the sky, burrow spies underground, sink spies in the ocean, and even attempt to spy on the mind. This bold approach has relied on machines rather than people, allowing the US to expand its reach around the globe. In Nothing is Beyond Our Reach, Kristie Macrakis investigates the origins and impact of the American techno-spy empire. https://bit.ly/417I2Pa
Get the Damn Story by journalist Thomas Lippman is the first comprehensive biography of Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Homer Bigart (1907 – 1991). Highly esteemed by his colleagues at the New York Herald Tribune and the New York Times over the course of his decades-long career, Bigart largely faded from public view after his death. Bigart brought to life many events that defined the era—the wars in Europe, the Pacific, Korea, and Vietnam; the civil rights movement; the creation of Israel; the end of colonialism in Africa; the Cuban Revolution; and much more. This book is a compelling portrait of the life and career of a talented journalist who stopped at nothing to get the damn story. https://bit.ly/3nTECRO
Despite heightened attention to virtue, contemporary philosophical and theological literature has failed to offer detailed analysis of how people attain and grow in the good habits we know as the virtues. Growing in Virtue is the only comprehensive account of growth in virtue in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. Notre Dame College of Arts and Letters professor William Mattison offers a robust account of habits, including what habits are, why they are needed, and what they supply once possessed. https://bit.ly/3LHaYZF
Disability Ethics and Preferential Justice by Boston College School of Theology and Ministry professor Mary Jo Iozzio is a response to a dearth of theo-ethical reflection on disability. Iozzio uses reflection on the image of God as a foundation for a theological lens within disability ethics, and exposes personal and systemic forms of control that able-bodied people (knowingly or not) exercise to maintain power. She offers strategies based on Catholic social teaching to inspire deliberate action that will result in an increasingly inclusive and participatory Church and society. https://press.georgetown.edu/Book/Disability-Ethics-and-Preferential-Justice

Epidemiologists and national security agencies warned for years about the potential for a deadly pandemic, but in the end global surveillance and warning systems were not enough to avert the COVID-19 disaster. In The COVID-19 Intelligence Failure, Erik J. Dahl demonstrates that understanding how intelligence warnings work—and how they fail—shows why the years of predictions were not enough. This book is a wake-up call for the United States and the international community to improve their national security, medical, and public health intelligence systems and capabilities.

They analyze successful and failed innovations in military information technologies and demonstrate how militaries can avoid common obstacles to achieve effective adoption.

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan is well-known as an interpreter and defender of the Constitution, particularly through her landmark speech during Richard Nixon's 1974 impeachment hearings.
