Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable book, the author of Shiloh and Other Stories, In Country, and other award-winning books gives us powerful new stories that capture the restless energy of life in contemporary America. The characters here are travelers and seekers, feeling their way toward, or away from the defining moments of their lives. They roam out into the world to England, Alaska, Texas, Saudi Arabia, or ricochet back home to Kentucky, ceaselessly searching, exploring, testing for limits. I felt strange, says Chrissy in With Jazz, as though all my life I had been zigzagging down a wild trail to this particular place. In Charger, a teenage boy races along the interstate, seeking the father who abandoned him years before. In Rolling into Atlanta, a young woman searches for the kind of authenticity she remembers from her rural childhood. In Proper Gypsies, Nancy deals with the shock of being robbed in London. In The Funeral Side, Sandra comes home to try to fulfill her responsibilities to her family, but yearns to escape again to Alaska and the northern lights that haunt her. Writing in the spare, precise, beautifully nuanced language for which she is famous, Bobbie Ann Mason expands her art here in dramatic and illuminating fashion. These fascinating stories bring to life surprising individuals whose journeys shine a bright light on life as it is lived by many Americans today. Zigzagging Down a Wild Trail is a beautiful book by one of America's finest writers, a book full of drama, humor, and startling insights into the timeless longings of the human heart.

Book Synopsis Symmetric Cryptography, Volume 2 by : Christina Boura
Download or read book Symmetric Cryptography, Volume 2 written by Christina Boura and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symmetric cryptology is one of the two main branches of cryptology. Its applications are essential and vital in the Information Age, due to the efficiency of its constructions. The scope of this book in two volumes is two-fold. First, it presents the most important ideas that have been used in the design of symmetric primitives, their inner components and their most relevant constructions. Second, it describes and provides insights on the most popular cryptanalysis and proof techniques for analyzing the security of the above algorithms. A selected number of future directions, such as post-quantum security or design of ciphers for modern needs and particular applications, are also discussed. We believe that the two volumes of this work will be of interest to researchers, to master’s and PhD students studying or working in the field of cryptography, as well as to all professionals working in the field of cybersecurity.
Book Synopsis Tales of Trail Tripping by : Michael O'Neal
Download or read book Tales of Trail Tripping written by Michael O'Neal and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Realizing his affliction would worsen and eventually cripple him, O’Neal packed as much physical activity and adreno outings into his early adult life as time and his condition allowed. His adventures took him from 300 feet down into the earth to 12,000 feet above it. He hiked hundreds of miles on rugged trails, spent hours crawling through caves, bounced in rafts over class IV+ rapids, and fell from 10,000 feet skydiving. CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth) made him proficient at crawling, sitting, and falling. Trails is an entertaining and uplifting account of the adverse and diverse treks O’Neal experienced in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Into his 30’s CMT disease was beginning to advance the atrophy in his lower legs, making backpacking more difficult. Rather than pulling the plug, CMT motivated O’Neal to stumble miles through the mountains for years. Knowing his hiking days were numbered increased his appreciation for the minimized ability he still possessed. Accompanied on all trips by an assortment of close, trusted friends, the conversations shared and the constant bantering between them makes for many laugh-out-loud moments and lends respect to all who face their own adversities with humor, self-deprecation, and an overall positivity that inspires. It’s not what life gives you; it’s what you do with it. About the Author After spending the first half of his life living in the Central Valley of California, O’Neal moved his family to the Seatle area where he taught History from 1991-2008. In 2002 he built the log home where he and Lisha live with their dog Taffy. Although CMT now prevents him from hiking, O’Neal now gets his mountain fix in his own front yard among giant cedar and Douglas fir trees bald eagles soar over. He spends many of his Settle rainy days writing and is the author of travel stories as well as the popular murder mystery, Of All the Animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Vietnam War, the Que Son Valley region was a very bad place with a very bad reputation. More U.S. Army infantrymen and Marines died there than at any other location in Vietnam. More Medals of Honor were awarded in this region than in any other single combat zone, ever. On 5 May 1968, the downing of two U.S. helicopters in the Que Son Valley marked the beginning of the North Vietnamese Army’s second Tet offensive, with the goal of destroying all U.S. forces. At 1728 hours, Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry conducted a combat air assault to join Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Infantry at the helicopters' fatally downed location. Their experiences during the next six days set the stage for a three-month long battle that lasted only hours for some. In the end, there would be more than 2,300 dead and wounded, and one American Soldier missing in action. It will take over 44 years to find his location; UNACCOUNTED is his story.
