An excerpt from the book -

O ye rulers of the earth! Wherefore have ye clouded the radiance of the
Sun, and caused it to cease from shining? Hearken unto the counsel given
you by the Pen of the Most High, that haply both ye and the poor may
attain unto tranquillity and peace. We beseech God to assist the kings of
the earth to establish peace on earth. He, verily, doth what He willeth.

O kings of the earth! We see you increasing every year your expenditures,
and laying the burden thereof on your subjects. This, verily, is wholly
and grossly unjust. Fear the sighs and tears of this Wronged One, and lay
not excessive burdens on your peoples. Do not rob them to rear palaces for
yourselves; nay rather choose for them that which ye choose for
yourselves. Thus We unfold to your eyes that which profiteth you, if ye
but perceive. Your people are your treasures. Beware lest your rule
violate the commandments of God, and ye deliver your wards to the hands of
the robber.

An excerpt from the book -

This Wronged One hath heard thy voice and that which thy inner and outer
tongue hath uttered in praise of thy Lord. By the righteousness of God!
That which the people possess, and the treasures of the earth, and that
which the rulers and kings own, are not equal in this day to the singing
of His praise. The Lord of the Kingdom beareth witness unto this at this
glorious moment. And having heard thy groaning and lamentation, We are
responding with a Tablet which calleth out betwixt earth and heaven and
maketh mention of thee with words that immortalize what hath appeared from
thee in His love, in His service, in His remembrance and in His praise.
And He hath made that which hath issued forth from thy mouth a trust with
Him for thee. He is verily the Most Bounteous, the Most Generous. If thou
truly givest ear to that which hath been revealed for thee from My Supreme
Pen at this moment, thou shalt soar with the wings of eagerness in the
heaven of love for the Lord of the Day of the Covenant, and wilt say
during all the days of thy life: ... Read more

An excerpt from the book -

We have been asked by the Universal House of Justice to send you the
enclosed copy of a compilation on scholarship prepared recently at its
request by the Research Department at the Bahá'í World Centre.

It is the hope of the House of Justice that a study of this compilation
will serve as a stimulus and a guide in the further development of Bahá'í
scholarship, and that the unique features of this vital aspect of Bahá'í
activity will be clarified through a perusal of its contents.

The House of Justice calls upon the members of the community of the
Greatest Name, young and old, men and women alike, to strive to develop
and offer to humanity a new model of scholarly activity along the lines
set out in this compilation, animated by the spirit of inquiry into the
limitless meaning of the Divine Teachings. This scholarly endeavour should
be characterized by the welcome it offers to all who wish to be involved
in it, each in his or her own way, by mutual encouragement and cooperation
among its participants, and by the respect accorded to distinguished
accomplishment and outstanding achievement. ... Read more

Product Description
Under its Less-Lethal Technologies Program, established in 1986, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ)—the research, development, and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department of Justice—provides funds to identify, develop, and evaluate new or improved devices and other technology that will minimize the risk of death and injury to law enforcement officers, suspects, prisoners, and the general public. Many Federal, State, and local civil law enforcement and corrections agencies use less-lethal weapons and equipment to help minimize the loss of life and property. These devices are used to quell prison riots, suppress mobs, and subdue hostile individuals. NIJ has prepared this equipment review to inform Federal, State, and local agencies about the Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program and the less-lethal weapons and equipment used by civil law enforcement agencies. This review does not address issues surrounding DoD’s Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program or issues related to nonlethal weapons research and development programs.

Product Description
FM 1-04, Legal Support to the Operational Army, replaces FM 27-100, Legal Support to Operations, as the Army's keystone manual for operational legal doctrine. This manual provides authoritative doctrine and practical guidance for commanders, judge advocates, legal administrators, and paralegal Soldiers across the spectrum of conflict. It outlines how the Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAGC) will be organized in accordance with the Army's modular force design. It also discusses the delivery of legal support to the modular force. Traditionally, the JAGC identified its core legal disciplines as military justice, international law, administrative law, civil law, claims, and legal assistance. This manual recognizes the importance of these critical areas; however, it expands and reorganizes the concept of core legal disciplines to help synchronize these concepts with operational experience and Army doctrine. The core legal disciplines are now military justice, international and operational law, administrative and civil law, contract and fiscal law, claims, and legal assistance. ... Read more
