This is the book that the simulation industry is missing! This is an introduction and reference for Real-Time Distributed Simulation. Distributed Simulation is the term describing connecting people, equipment and simulators together in a synthetic environment. If you are involved with any type of simulator and want to connect it to another system, then you need to have this book. The book describes terrain in simulation, 3-D model structure, Simulator Qualification Levels, Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High Level Architecture (HLA), Validation, Verification and Accreditation (VV&A) as well as providing a methodology and process for planning and implementing a Distributed Simulation project. The book also provides an invaluable Distributed Simulation Agreements Template. This is a very useful book for anyone involved with distributed simulation and was written by someone that has spent nearly 20 years in the industry: building simulators and connecting them to other simulators.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
