Book excerpt: There's a new breed of terrorist living in America. He's a nationalized citizen educated at a prestigious university, trained by a high-tech corporation, and all the while he's been biding his time, building his army, waiting to strike. When he sets his diabolical plans in motion, there's only one man and one organization that can stop him. Jason Talbot is the leader of Strike Squad Alpha, an elite fighting force in the Terrorism Prevention Agency (TEPA), a secret organization within the Department of Homeland Security. He is authorized to operate outside the law to put a stop to terrorist attacks before they occur. But now he faces his greatest challenge. From a hijacked oil tanker in the Mediterranean Sea, to a castle in the woods of Northern Virginia, to an abandoned missile base in Washington State, Jason Talbot, aided by the capable Sarah Ruger of the NTSB, races to stop a modern-day Armageddon. 'Engineering Evil grips you from the beginning and will not let you go! This author knows his way around the guarded world of special operations. You will not be disappointed!"-Lieutenant Colonel Storm Savage, U.S. Army

Book excerpt: Civitas Vadanis is in trouble. The Mezentines have declared war; and the Mezentines are very focused on their goals when it comes to killing. Duke Valens, of Civitas Vadanis, has a dilemma. He knows that his city cannot withstand the invading army; yet its walls are his only defence against the Mezentines. Perhaps the only way to save his people is to flee, but that will not be easy either. Ziani Vaatzes, an engineer exiled by the Mezentines for his abominable creations, has already proven that he can defend a city. But Ziani Vaatzes has his own concerns, and the fate of Civitas Vadanis may not be one of them.

Download or read book Agile Software Engineering Skills written by Julian Michael Bass and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is about working in teams to create functioning software. It covers skills in agile software development methods, team working, version control and continuous integration and shows readers how to apply some of the latest ideas from lean, agile and Kanban. Part I, which focuses on People, describes various project roles and the skills needed to perform each role. This includes members of self-organizing teams, scrum masters, product owners and activities for managing other stakeholders. The skills needed to create Product artefacts are detailed in Part II. These include skills to create agile requirements, architectures, designs as well as development and security artefacts. The agile development Process to coordinate with co-workers is described in Part III. It introduces the skills needed to facilitate an incremental process and to use software tools for version control and automated testing. Eventually some more advanced topics are explained in Part IV. These topics include large projects comprising multiple cooperating teams, automating deployment, cloud software services, DevOps and evolving live systems. This textbook addresses significant competencies in the IEEE/ACM Computing Curricula Task Force 2020. It includes nearly 100 exercises for trying out and applying the skills needed for agile software development. Hints, tips and further advice about tackling the exercises are presented at the end of each chapter, and a case study project, with downloadable source code from an online repository, integrates the skills learned across the chapters. In addition, further example software projects are also available there. This way, the book provides a hands-on guide to working on a development project as part of a team, and is inspired by the needs of early career practitioners as well as undergraduate software engineering and computer science students.

Book Synopsis A History of Evil in Popular Culture by : Sharon Packer MD
Download or read book A History of Evil in Popular Culture written by Sharon Packer MD and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 874 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evil isn't simply an abstract theological or philosophical talking point. In our society, the idea of evil feeds entertainment, manifests in all sorts of media, and is a root concept in our collective psyche. This accessible and appealing book examines what evil means to us. Evil has been with us since the Garden of Eden, when Eve unleashed evil by biting the apple. Outside of theology, evil remains a highly relevant concept in contemporary times: evil villains in films and literature make these stories entertaining; our criminal justice system decides the fate of convicted criminals based on the determination of their status as "evil" or "insane." This book examines the many manifestations of "evil" in modern media, making it clear how this idea pervades nearly all aspects of life and helping us to reconsider some of the notions about evil that pop culture perpetuates and promotes. Covering screen media such as film, television, and video games; print media that include novels and poetry; visual media like art and comics; music; and political polemics, the essays in this book address an eclectic range of topics. The diverse authors include Americans who left the United States during the Vietnam War era, conservative Christian political pundits, rock musicians, classical linguists, Disney fans, scholars of American slavery, and experts on Holocaust literature and films. From portrayals of evil in the television shows The Wire and 24 to the violent lyrics of the rap duo Insane Clown Posse to the storylines of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter books, readers will find themselves rethinking what evil is—and how they came to hold their beliefs.
Book Synopsis Ethics Within Engineering by : Wade L. Robison
Download or read book Ethics Within Engineering written by Wade L. Robison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering begins with a design problem: how to make occupants of vehicles safer, settle on an inter-face for an x-ray machine or create more legible road signs. In choosing any particular solution, engineers must make value choices. By focusing on the solving of these problems, Ethics Within Engineering shows how ethics is at the intellectual core of engineering. Built around a number of engaging case studies, Wade Robison presents real examples of engineering problems that everyone, engineer or not, will recognize, ranging from such simple artifacts as toasters and the layout of burners and knobs on a stove top to the software responsible for the Columbia airliner crash. The most dramatic examples center on error-provocative designs: designs that provoke mistakes for even the most intelligent, well-informed, and highly motivated. These examples all raise ethical issues, posing questions for the reader, forcing the give-and-take of discussion in classrooms and the consideration of alternative solutions that solve the original design problem without the unfortunate features of the original solution. This original, focused approach provides an ideal entry point for anyone looking to better understand professional ethical responsibilities within engineering.
Download or read book Evil Genes written by Barbara Oakley, PhD and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever heard of a person who left you wondering, "How could someone be so twisted? So evil?" Prompted by clues in her sister’s diary after her mysterious death, author Barbara Oakley takes the reader inside the head of the kinds of malevolent people you know, perhaps all too well, but could never understand. Starting with psychology as a frame of reference, Oakley uses cutting-edge images of the working brain to provide startling support for the idea that "evil" people act the way they do mainly as the result of a dysfunction. In fact, some deceitful, manipulative, and even sadistic behavior appears to be programmed genetically—suggesting that some people really are born to be bad. Oakley links the latest findings of molecular research to a wide array of seemingly unrelated historical and current phenomena, from the harems of the Ottomans and the chummy jokes of "Uncle Joe" Stalin, to the remarkable memory of investor Warren Buffet. Throughout, she never loses sight of the personal cost of evil genes as she unravels the mystery surrounding her sister’s enigmatic life—and death. Evil Genes is a tour-de-force of popular science writing that brilliantly melds scientific research with intriguing family history and puts both a human and scientific face to evil.

Book Synopsis The Pattern of Evil by : Lawrence Leshan
Download or read book The Pattern of Evil written by Lawrence Leshan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we wish to learn from the Holocaust how to act against a recurrence, we must ask what the SS thought they were doing as they organized and ran the horrific camps. Then we can know how to watch for early signs of the emergence of this type of thinking and move against it. This book addresses itself to this problem and arrives at new answers. Modern science and philosophy have gradually become aware of the degree to which human beings use different sets of assumptions about the nature of reality (how things are and work) in different situations. As this book demonstrates, when the "Mythic" world picture is used to solve political problems (instead of the appropriate "Sensory" world view) the concentration camp becomes a possibility. The process, however, is not inexorable, but can be aborted if understood.
Book Synopsis Human Hacking by : Christopher Hadnagy
Download or read book Human Hacking written by Christopher Hadnagy and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A global security expert draws on psychological insights to help you master the art of social engineering—human hacking. Make friends, influence people, and leave them feeling better for having met you by being more empathetic, generous, and kind. Eroding social conventions, technology, and rapid economic change are making human beings more stressed and socially awkward and isolated than ever. We live in our own bubbles, reluctant to connect, and feeling increasingly powerless, insecure, and apprehensive when communicating with others. A pioneer in the field of social engineering and a master hacker, Christopher Hadnagy specializes in understanding how malicious attackers exploit principles of human communication to access information and resources through manipulation and deceit. Now, he shows you how to use social engineering as a force for good—to help you regain your confidence and control. Human Hacking provides tools that will help you establish rapport with strangers, use body language and verbal cues to your advantage, steer conversations and influence other’s decisions, and protect yourself from manipulators. Ultimately, you’ll become far more self-aware about how you’re presenting yourself—and able to use it to improve your life. Hadnagy includes lessons and interactive “missions”—exercises spread throughout the book to help you learn the skills, practice them, and master them. With Human Hacking, you’ll soon be winning friends, influencing people, and achieving your goals.
