  • Know Your Enemy: Understanding the Worldview and Motives of Osama Bin Laden and the Jihadist Movement He Inspired

    Douglas M JohnstonARTICLEThe Review of Faith & International…2024References: 2

    The purpose of this essay is to recall what motivated bin Laden to risk his life, his family, his fortune, and his reputation in confronting the military might of the United States in order to (1) rid the Muslim world of the U.S. presence, (2) overthrow repressive, apostate Muslim regimes not governed by Sharia law, and (3) destroy the state of Israel. The point of understanding bin Laden’s motives is not to excuse any aspect of the barbarous act…

  • Developing a more accurate method for individual plant segmentation of urban tree and shrub communities using LiDAR technology

    Yang Liu, Xuguang Zhang et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2023References: 41

    Application of LiDAR technology has greatly enhanced tree segmentation and phenotypic analysis. There are few studies in urban green spaces using tree segmentation methods. Our aim is to improve the single-plant segmentation accuracy in tree and shrub communities through segmenting algorithm optimisation based on TLS LiDAR data of the urban green space. We developed a multi-round comparative shortest-path algorithm (M-CSP) to achieve the objectiv…

  • A Scholar for All Seasons

    Douglas M JohnstonARTICLEThe Review of Faith & International…2020

    R. Scott Appleby is rightly celebrated for his legendary scholarly accomplishments and his many path-breaking initiatives while directing the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame and, more recently, the university's Keough School of Global Affairs. However his personal influence extends well beyond his widely-lauded scholarly accomplishments

  • Combating Islamophobia

    Douglas M JohnstonARTICLEJournal of ecumenical studies2016Cited by: 3

    Since September 11, 2001, the phenomenon known as "Islamophobia" has swept across the United States, reflecting the growing concern among many Americans that practitioners of the Muslim faith are fundamentally irrational, intolerant, and violent and that Islam has become inconsistent with the American way of life. Prominent among those who are fanning the flames of this particular narrative are elements within the American far- right, including e…

  • Religion, Terror, and Error: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Challenge of Spiritual Engagement

    Douglas M JohnstonBOOKReligion, Terror, and Error2011

    This book describes how the United States can integrate religious considerations into its foreign policy, moving towards a new leadership paradigm that effectively counters the challenge of Islamist extremism. How should the United States deal with the jihadist challenge and other religious imperatives that permeate today's geopolitical landscape? Religion, Terror, and Error: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Challenge of Spiritual Engagement argues th…

  • U.S. Military Chaplains: Redirecting a Critical Asset

    Douglas M JohnstonARTICLEThe Review of Faith & International…2009Cited by: 1

    Throughout American history, military chaplains played roles that extended beyond typical spiritual duties. Today's movement toward expanding chaplain responsibilities in inter-religious liaison is a natural extension of that history. Other countries have similar approaches. Canada and Norway, for example, require chaplains to participate in conflict resolution activities. Chaplains bring religious legitimacy to clergy-to-clergy communications. F…

  • Designing Landscapes for Performance Based on Emerging Principles in Landscape Ecology

    Open AccessSarah Taylor Lovell, Douglas M JohnstonARTICLEConservation Ecology2009Cited by: 4

    We have proposed a framework for transforming landscapes to improve performance by integrating ecological principles into landscape design. This effort would focus on the development of multifunctional landscapes, guided by the rapidly growing knowledge base of ecosystem services provided by landscape features. Although the conventional approach to landscape ecology is based on a model that assumes poor ecological quality in the human-dominated m…

  • Ocean Boundary Making: Regional Issues and Developments

    Open AccessAnn B Murphy, Alexander B Murphy et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review1989Cited by: 1

    Most nations are currently engaged in various forms of ocean boundary making and indeed the present decades will be looked back on as the 'golden age' of ocean boundary making. This is creating new regional pressures and the need for collective regional responses to these issues. This book examines the issues at stake and the boundary making processes. It discusses these in a general way, showing how the recently concluded Third UN conference on …

  • Coastal zone management in Canada: Purposes and prospects

    Open AccessDouglas M JohnstonARTICLECanadian Public Administration1977

    Coastal zone management ( czm ), though a relatively new concept in Canada, has become the dominant approach to coastal planning in the United States. Its saliency has much to do with the fact that it represents an acceptable blend of views of environmentalists and public administrators, especially those concerned with land use control and natural resource management problems in coastal areas. Although not aggravated to the same degree by urban c…
