Threat Multiplier

Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security

Island Press

Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. We learn how the military evolved from an environmental laggard to a climate and clean energy leader. And we discover how a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. No one knows the stakes better than Sherri Goodman, the Pentagon’s first Chief Environmental Officer, also known as  Deputy Undersecretary of Defense (Environmental Security). In Threat Multiplier, she offers a front row seat to the military’s fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.

Healing Like Our Ancestors

The Nahua Tiçitl, Gender, and Settler Colonialism in Central Mexico, 1535–1660

The University of Arizona Press

Offering a provocative new perspective, this book examines sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Nahua healers in Central Mexico and how their practices have been misconstrued and misunderstood in colonial records. Historian Edward Anthony Polanco draws from diverse colonial primary sources, largely in Spanish and Nahuatl (the ancestral Nahua language), to explore how Spanish settlers framed Nahua titiçih (healing specialists), their knowledge, and their practices within a Western complex. Polanco argues for the usage of Indigenous terms when discussing Indigenous concepts, and arms the reader with the Nahuatl words to discuss central Mexican Nahua healing.
