This book addresses issues of legal and moral governance arising in the development, deployment, and eventual uses of emerging technologies in military operations. Proverbial wisdom has it that law and morality always lag behind technological innovation. Hence, the book aims to identify, enumerate, and constructively address the problems of adequate governance for the development, deployment, and eventual uses of military technologies that have been newly introduced into military operations or which will be available in the near future. Proposals for modifications in governance, the book argues, closely track the anxieties of many critics of these technologies to the extent that they will proliferate, prove destructive in unanticipated ways, and partially or wholly escape regulation under current treaties and regulatory regimes. In addition to such concerns in domestic and especially in international law, the book addresses ethical norms in the professions involved in the design and eventual use of specific technologies, principally involving the professional norms of practice in engineering and the military (as well as biomedical and health care practice), which impose moral obligations on their members to avoid reckless endangerment or criminal negligence in the course of their activities. Thus, in addition to exploring the application of existing legal regimes and moral norms, the book examines how these professions might develop or improve the voluntary constraints on forms of malfeasance that are enshrined in their histories and codes of best practices. This book should prove of great interest to students of ethics, military studies, philosophy of war and peace, law, and international relations.

Em uma galáxia muito, muito distante, os fãs de Star Wars aguardavam por este momento inesquecível. No ano de encerramento da saga mais lendária da história do cinema, a DarkSide® Books apresenta uma nova edição de Star Wars: A Trilogia. Muito além de um fenômeno do cinema, Star Wars ditou regras na ficção científica, inspirou milhares de pessoas com a filosofia Jedi, nos levou até mundos incríveis e apresentou os personagens mais cativantes que poderiam existir no espaço. As clássicas histórias de Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princesa Leia, Mestre Yoda e Darth Vader vão ganhar detalhes de outra galáxia em uma nova edição que todo geek terá orgulho de exibir em sua estante. A nova capa de Star Wars: A Trilogia tem detalhes em dourado, material semelhante a couro, Leia. As páginas de guarda da nova edição também contam com um detalhe especial: elas brilham mais que um sabre de luz no escuro. No ano em que a saga Star Wars chega ao fim com Star Wars Episódio IX: A Ascensão Skywalker, a DarkSide® Books apresenta uma nova edição que faz jus a importância da saga iniciada em 1977. Em Star Wars: A Trilogia, George Lucas escreve o Episódio IV – Uma Nova Esperança, com participação de Alan Dean Foster, a partir de uma adaptação do roteiro original do longa, e mostra, pela primeira vez, o jovem Luke Skywalker aos fãs, cinco meses antes do lançamento oficial do filme. O Episódio V – O Império Contra-Ataca, escrito por Donald F. Glut, é um dos mais adorados da saga e coloca Luke diante de lados opostos da Força. “Eu jamais poderia imaginar o nível dos laços emocionais que o público havia desenvolvido com Luke como um símbolo de bondade e Vader como a personificação do mal”, declarou George Lucas tempos depois. Já o Episódio VI – O Retorno de Jedi foi escrito por James Kahn – mesmo autor de Os Goonies, lançado pela DarkSide® Books. E preparar esse capítulo final da trilogia foi um grande desafio para George Lucas, já que o roteiro apresentava muitas histórias abertas e era preciso deixar tudo muito bem amarrado para os próximos filmes. A nova edição de Star Wars: A Trilogia, da DarkSide® Books, é também uma homenagem aos atores da saga que se foram recentemente, mas serão para sempre lembrados. Carrie Fisher (Princesa Leia) e Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) se tornaram figuras fundamentais em Star Wars e conquistaram o coração dos fãs. Para os espectadores ainda mais saudosos, Fisher aparecerá em Star Wars – Episódio IX: A Ascensão Skywalker. Cenas gravadas para o Episódio VII (2015), e até então inéditas, serão aproveitadas no novo longa e prometem emocionar a todos. A DarkSide® Books também se preocupou em lançar a nova edição de Star Wars: A Trilogia no mês mais importante para a saga: maio. Somente um verdadeiro fã de Star Wars consegue entender essa importância. No dia 4 de maio é celebrado o #MayThe4thBeWithYou, uma espécie de feriado não-oficial com milhares de comemorações e reuniões dos fãs de Star Wars pelo mundo. Ainda neste mês, no dia 25 – conhecido como o Dia da Toalha –, foram lançados no cinema os Episódios IV e VI da saga; já o Episódio V ganhou as telonas no dia 21 de maio de 1980; George Lucas comemora seu aniversário no dia 14 e outro nome marcante também celebraria neste mês: Peter Mayhew, nascido no dia 19. Os fãs de Star Wars já podem comemorar em grande estilo, com uma edição épica que será admirada até mesmo das galáxias mais distantes do universo – uma verdadeira bíblia geek, o manual que todo e qualquer mochileiro Jedi precisa ter em sua coleção.

From two of the greatest imaginations of our time comes a magnificent novel of adventure and magic...SHADOW MOON: "First in the Chronicles of the Shadow War," The genius of Star Wars(r) creator George Lucas and the vision of Chris Claremont, the author of the phenomenally bestselling "The Uncanny X-Men" adventures, merge in what must be the fantasy event of the year. In "Shadow Moon," war and chaos have gripped the land of Tir Asleen. An ancient prophecy reveals one hope: a savior princess who will ascend to the throne when the time is right. But first, a Nelwyn wanderer must face forces of unimaginable malevolence and dangerous, forbidden rites of necromancy that could bring back a powerful warrior from soulless sleep. George Lucas reshaped filmmaking in the ''70s and ''80s with his "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" films. When Bantam Books asked Lucas if he had any stories he would like to develop as novels rather than as films, Lucas turned to his 1988 fantasy film, "Willow," " When I wrote the story for "Willow," I began with the pre-story, " Lucas said, " but the full story was yet to be told." Now, Lucas''s vision is being fulfilled with the talented help of Chris Claremont. Having previously taken the reins of what was for a decade the bestselling comic in the western hemisphere ("The Uncanny X-Men") Claremont assumes the reponsibility of foster parent to Lucas''s creation. On sale in hardcover now, and available on BDD Audio Cassette as well, SHADOW MOON is a momentous new adventure for readers looking to spend part of this summer in a "fantastic" world. SHADOWMOON is one of Bantam Spectra''s most exciting publishing events in 1995, the year we celebrate our 10th Anniversary as the premiere publishing imprint of books of speculative fiction.
