      At its simplest level, synastry is the examination of the interaction of two astrological charts. Since questions about the relationship are perhaps the ones most often asked of the astrologer, the art of synastry is a basic skill to practice astrology at any but the most casual level. Planets in Synastry takes the reader through the steps of this complex process. Individual phases of a relationship are set out and a method for analysis of each phase is described. It focuses not only on the analysis of synastry, but on the translation of the insights into real life applications.

      Focusing on the evolution of military technology and strategic thinking, this book examines the changing role of air power in modern warfare. Key topics include tactical air mobility, the vulnerabilities of airfields, the implications of aerial mass destruction, and advancements in electronic warfare. Originally published in 1986, it provides a comprehensive analysis of how these factors will shape future military operations.

      Based on the belief that what we know as 'strategic studies' needs urgently to address a clutch of geography-related considerations customarily seen as outside its remit. This work places emphasis on the development of regional associations strong enough to deal with various aspects of a survival strategy.

      This book calls for the progressive creation of supra-national institutions intended to protect life on Earth against natural threats, be these terrestrial (pandemics, super-volcanoes, major earthquakes) or celestial (comets, asteroids, meteor storms). The protection proffered would need to be pre-emptive though also responsive, reducing the number of adverse events but also their specific consequences. Rancid though the world scene currently looks, this may actually be a good time to look towards a planetary security programme that can build up over a century or more. It would need special international institutions that are sufficiently integrated to cope with the celestial and terrestrial contingencies anticipated yet not so much a class apart as to be a law unto themselves, a military regime able to ride roughshod over general world opinion. Such an holistic approach to planetary security might prove to be a definitive substitute for war between nations. Professor Brown comesto such questions f
