More than thirty years ago, when Sherri Goodman became the\u003cbr\u003ePentagon’s first Chief Environmental Officer, no one would have imagined this role for our armed forces.\u003cbr\u003eIndeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet\u003cbr\u003enuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to\u003cbr\u003ea clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and\u003cbr\u003eforest fires to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games,\u003cbr\u003edisaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases.\u003cbr\u003eWhat was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today’s generals and admirals up at night?\u003cbr\u003eHow can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri\u003cbr\u003eGoodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military’s fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is\u003cbr\u003eharrowing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56274623594870,"sku":"9781642833263","price":29.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_40582575_c109dc89-21a7-4466-97b4-d7d83bc728cb.jpg?v=1775099102","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781642833263-threat-multiplier","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
