De Re Swat

How do law enforcement agencies go about selecting the best, brightest, and strongest to be a part of the famously effective SWAT team? What are the key concepts behind deployment and the resolution of crises? In De Re SWAT, author Bryan Morgan answers those questions and many more. Based upon the world-renowned work on military tactics by the Roman General Vegetius, Bryan utilizes that two-millennia-old concept to convey and reiterate the same message that Vegetius wrote: strength and success are found in discipline, courage, and planning, not in numbers or technological superiority. Readers will learn: - How SWAT operators should be selected - How success involves training to perfection - How minimal force is used to create maximum peace and safety - How teams are chosen and positioned to ensure victory - And many other important aspects that ensure the SWAT organization keeps the most people safe with the least rate of failure Whether using this book as a reference for those already working on a SWAT team, or simply interested in learning more about the legendary strength of SWAT, readers will find De Re SWAT extremely informative.

Pomeranian is the West Germanic language spoken by European emigrants who went from Farther Pomerania (present-day Poland) to Brazil in the period 1857–1887. This language is no longer spoken in cohesive societies in Europe, but the language has survived and is in remarkably good shape on this language island in the tropical state of Espirito Santo. This monograph offers the first synchronic grammar of this language. After a historical introduction, the book offers a systematic description of its phonology, morphology and syntax. The language is contrasted with its European sisters, more particularly High German, Dutch, and Frisian. It highlights various phenomena that will presumably contribute to the ongoing theoretical debate on the Germanic verbal system. It provides new data on cluster V2, do-support, and the two infinitives. As to the infinitival syntax, the language shows remarkable parallels to the system of Frisian. As to the rich Pomeranian system of subtractive morphology, the phonological account that is offered, will be important for the ongoing discussion of the abstractness of phonological representations. Finally, Pomeranian is a welcome addition to the set of languages on which our etymological understanding of West Germanic is based.
