1. Military Waste: The Unexpected Consequences of Permanent War Readiness
2020 by Joshua O. Reno
In "Military Waste: The Unexpected Consequences of Permanent War Readiness," Joshua O. Reno delves into the intriguing terrain of the costs associated with America's continuous state of war preparedness. Through a captivating exploration of the lives and experiences of ordinary American citizens, the book uncovers the remnants and remnants of warfare, whether resting at the ocean's depths, decaying in arid deserts, or lingering in Earth's orbit. Employing a blend of ethnographic research and archival investigation, Reno illustrates how surplus military artifacts, from obsolete aircraft, ships, and space debris finding new civilian purposes to the environmental impact and displacement caused by former military bases, permeate the lives of those far removed from conventional war zones. The book extends its analysis to encompass diverse examples, such as the relationships between mass shooters and militarized masculinity. "Military Waste" reveals the unanticipated and enduring connections that civilians forge with a nation perpetually poised for war, offering fresh perspectives on this pervasive aspect of modern society.

3. The Environmental Legacy of Military Operations
2001 by Judy Ehlen, Russell S. Harmon
U.S. military lands, held in public trust, have become increasingly scrutinized in terms of sustainability and responsible land use practices. In this collection, edited by Ehlen from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center and Harmon from the U.S. Army Research Office, readers will find 14 articles that delve into the application of engineering geology principles within the contexts of military operations and environmental concerns. While these two aspects are not always intertwined, the topics explored encompass a range of subjects, including the assessment of battlefield terrains, the prediction of fracture systems in enemy subterranean facilities, the geoenvironmental impact of military engineering activities at the Rock of Gibraltar, and the examination of erosion trends at Fort Leonard Wood. This book offers valuable insights into the multifaceted relationship between military activities and the environment, shedding light on crucial issues related to U.S. military lands.
