In The Power Problem, Christopher A. Preble explores the aims, costs, and limitations of the use of this nation's military power; throughout, he makes the case that the majority of Americans are right, and the foreign policy experts who disdain the public's perspective are wrong.Preble is a keen and skeptical observer of recent U.S. foreign policy experiences, which have been marked by the promiscuous use of armed intervention. He documents how the possession of vast military strength runs contrary to the original intent of the Founders, and has, as they feared, shifted the balance of power away from individual citizens and toward the central government, and from the legislative and judicial branches of government to the executive. In Preble's estimate, if policymakers in Washington have at their disposal immense military might, they will constantly be tempted to overreach, and to redefine ever more broadly the "national interest."Preble holds that the core national interest-preserving American security-is easily defined and largely immutable. Possessing vast military power in order to further other objectives is, he asserts, illicit and to be resisted. Preble views military power as purely instrumental: if it advances U.S. security, then it is fulfilling its essential role. If it does not-if it undermines our security, imposes unnecessary costs, and forces all Americans to incur additional risks-then our military power is a problem, one that only we can solve. As it stands today, Washington's eagerness to maintain and use an enormous and expensive military is corrosive to contemporary American democracy. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 606 $aHegemony$zUnited States 606 $aPower (Christian theology)$zUnited States 606 $aPower (Mechanics)$zUnited States 606 $aPower (Philosophy)$zUnited States 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zUnited States 606 $aPower resources$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aHegemony 615 0$aPower (Christian theology) 615 0$aPower (Mechanics) 615 0$aPower (Philosophy) 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aPower resources 676 $a355/.033073 700 $aPreble$b Christopher A$01047771 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460176403321 996 $aThe power problem$92485043 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03026nam 22005534a 450 001 9910145744203321 005 20170815114623.0 010 $a1-281-30884-6 010 $a9786611308841 010 $a0-470-79871-8 010 $a0-470-75072-3 010 $a1-4051-4065-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000412684 035 $a(EBL)350989 035 $a(OCoLC)476170003 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000117806 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11146030 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000117806 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10072077 035 $a(PQKB)11067619 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC350989 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000412684 100 $a20030912d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCardiac pacemakers step by step$b[electronic resource] $ean illustrated guide /$fS.

We have also heard that all the books on cardiac pacing are too complicated and impossible to understand by beginners. Many have voiced the hope that one day someone would write a book in the same style as Dubin's book on basic electrocardiography which is a huge bestseller with well over a million sold in many languages. A 'Dummy' book on cardiac pacing would appeal to nurses, cardiology technicians, medical students and pacemaker companies for training their staff.
