About the Book

The second edition of Drones: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) provides a comprehensive and updated look at the rapidly evolving world of drones, otherwise known as unmanned or uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). Covering the past, present, and future of military and civilian applications, this book explores how drones have transformed--and are transforming--industries and warfare. It delves into the ethical, legal, and safety concerns raised by their widespread use, examining issues from privacy violations to international security. While the US has historically been a dominant force in drone development, this fully updated volume addresses the global proliferation of drones. They quickly became one of the most effective weapons in the Russia-Ukraine War, and states like China, Iran, and Turkey are now supplying drones to states and violent non-state actors around the world. Drones also expands beyond the air to cover ground and maritime drones, and projects the future of drone technology across multiple domains with a focus on autonomous vehicles and lethal autonomous weapons. A must-listen for anyone seeking a well-rounded understanding of this pivotal technology, Drones: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) provides crucial insights into how UAVs are reshaping modern warfare, domestic security, and civilian life.



About the Author :
James Patton Rogers is the executive director of the Brooks Tech Policy Institute at Cornell University and the NATO country director of the Full Spectrum Drone Warfare project (NATO SPS). Sarah E. Kreps is the John L. Wetherill Professor in the Department of Government, adjunct professor of law, and the director of the Brooks Tech Policy Institute at Cornell University. Patricia Burgos is an actor and narrator born in eclectic Hollywood and raised in the cultural city of Quito, Ecuador. With a Czech and Ecuadorian background, she has a knack for languages and speaks Spanish, Czech, German, and Japanese. Patricia grew up dancing and trained in everything from jazz to hip hop to Latin and danced professionally, performing throughout LA for several years. She found her true calling in acting, however, her adventurous spirit led her to travel the world and study culinary arts. Eventually, she settled in Venice Beach, where she even started her own dessert company. Returning to acting, Patricia stumbled into the world of audiobooks and fell in love with audiobook narration. Bringing stories to life is her true passion. With a friendly, optimistic, and youthful voice, YA and children's titles suit her perfectly. She also loves performing sci-fi, mystery, romcom, and spiritual nonfiction. She has a home studio with a nebula projector to set the mood. When not in the booth, Patricia volunteers at animal shelters and helps in animal rescue. Yoga and meditation are her go-to practices for maintaining balance and inner peace. She enjoys experimenting with vegan recipes that she requires her husband to taste. They live near the beach with their four bossy rescue felines.
