Maritime Musicians and Performers on Early Modern English Voyages aims to tell the full story of early English shipboard performers, who have been historically absent from conversations about English navigation, maritime culture, and economic expansion. Often described reductively in voyaging accounts as having one function, in fact maritime performers served many communicative tasks. Their lives were not only complex, but often contradictory. Though not high-ranking officers, neither were they lower-ranking mariners or sailors. They were influenced by a range of competing cultural practices, having spent time playing on both land and sea, and their roles required them to mediate parties using music, dance, and theatre as powerful forms of nonverbal communication. Their performances transcended and breached boundaries of language, rank, race, religion, and nationality, thereby upsetting conventional practices, improving shipboard and international relations, and ensuring the success of their voyages.

In each generation, scientists must redefine their fields: abstracting, simplifying and distilling the previous standard topics to make room for new advances and methods. Sethna's book takes this step for statistical mechanics - a field rooted in physics and chemistry whose ideas and methods are now central to information theory, complexity, and modern biology. Aimed at advanced undergraduates and early graduate students in all of these fields, Sethna limits his main presentation to the topics that future mathematicians and biologists, as well as physicists and chemists, will find fascinating and central to their work. The amazing breadth of the field is reflected in the author's large supply of carefully crafted exercises, each an introduction to a whole field of study: everything from chaos through information theory to life at the end of the universe.

Develop a greater intuition for the proper use of cryptography. This book teaches the basics of writing cryptographic algorithms in Python, demystifies cryptographic internals, and demonstrates common ways cryptography is used incorrectly. Cryptography is the lifeblood of the digital world’s security infrastructure. From governments around the world to the average consumer, most communications are protected in some form or another by cryptography. These days, even Google searches are encrypted. Despite its ubiquity, cryptography is easy to misconfigure, misuse, and misunderstand.Developers building cryptographic operations into their applications are not typically experts in the subject, and may not fully grasp the implication of different algorithms, modes, and other parameters. The concepts in this book are largely taught by example, including incorrect uses of cryptography and how "bad" cryptography can be broken. By digging into the guts of cryptography, you can experience what works, what doesn't, and why. What You’ll LearnUnderstand where cryptography is used, why, and how it gets misusedKnow what secure hashing is used for and its basic propertiesGet up to speed on algorithms and modes for block ciphers such as AES, and see how bad configurations breakUse message integrity and/or digital signatures to protect messagesUtilize modern symmetric ciphers such as AES-GCM and CHACHAPractice the basics of public key cryptography, including ECDSA signaturesDiscover how RSA encryption can be broken if insecure padding is usedEmploy TLS connections for secure communicationsFind out how certificates work and modern improvements such as certificate pinning and certificate transparency (CT) logs Who This Book Is For IT administrators and software developers familiar with Python. Although readers may have some knowledge of cryptography, the book assumes that the reader is starting from scratch.
The contemporary IT landscape is littered with various technologies that vendors claim will “solve” an organization’s cybersecurity challenges. These technologies are powerful and, in the right context, can be very effective. But misunderstood and misused, they either do not provide effective protection or do not protect the right things. This results in unnecessary expenditures, false beliefs of security, and interference with an organization’s mission.This book introduces major technologies that are employed in today’s cybersecurity landscape and the fundamental principles and philosophies behind them. By grasping these core concepts, professionals in every organization are better equipped to know what kind of technology they need, ask the right questions of vendors, and better interface with their CISO and security organization. The book is largely directed at beginners, including non-technical professionals such as policy makers, compliance teams, and business executives. What You Will Learn Authentication technologies, including secure password storage and how hackers “crack” password listsAccess control technology, such as BLP, BIBA, and more recent models such as RBAC and ABACCore cryptography technology, including AES encryption and public key signaturesClassical host security technologies that protect against malware (viruses, trojans, ransomware)Classical network security technologies, such as border security (gateways, firewalls, proxies), network IDS and IPS, and modern deception systemsWeb security technologies, including cookies, state, and session defenses, and threats that try to subvert themEmail and social media security threats such as spam, phishing, social media, and other email threats Who This Book Is ForProfessionals with no technicaltraining in engineering, computers, or other technology; those who want to know things at a technical level but have no previous background; professionals with a background in policy, compliance, and management; technical professionals without a background in computer security who seek an introduction to security topics; those with a security background who are not familiar with this breadth of technology.
They were the King and Queen of New York: Richard Kilmer, the literary golden boy whose d but novel had captured America's heart, and his wife Carrie, an Amazonian in height, beauty, and prowess that every musical on Broadway wanted to hire as the city's hottest young choreographer. Behind their throne, however, the dream life they had built was on the verge of collapse. Rich hadn't written a single word of his second novel in three years of trying. Failing to produce his next book by the contracted deadline would mean the end of his career and financial independence, driving him back to his wealthy father's house of humiliation and shame. In desperation, Rich looked to the provocative novels of his prolific but unpublished best friend Samuel Creed-and stole one. Alarmed by her husband's seclusion and the loss of their once inexhaustible intimacy, Carrie then sought the advice of their closest friend, Sam Creed. Though looking for insight and comfort, Carrie reawakened feelings for Sam she only now had the courage to face, leading to a passion greater than she imagined and consequences more tragic than betrayal. But neither love nor friendship, nor even ambition, will grace the stage when the truth is revealed, and the final act is written by Samuel Creed.

Vortex Methods and Vortex Motion

Vortex methods have emerged as a new class of powerful numerical techniques to analyze and compute vortex motion. This book addresses the theoretical, numerical, computational, and physical aspects of vortex methods and vortex motion. Vortex phenomena in fluid flows and the experimental, theoretical, and numerical methods used to characterize them are discussed in reviews by leading experts. Extensive photographs and sample computer graphics (some in colour) are provided. The development of large vortex structure in fluid flow is responsible for some of the most fascinating aspects of fluid dynamics, such as mixing, shearing, transport, and instability. Such issues arise in a variety of flow regimes, ranging from fundamental mathematical questions in laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow to sophisticated engineering settings and devices.
Journey to the untamed landscapes of Colorado with Seth, a driven young man accompanying a family determined to homestead in this vast, promising territory. But as the lure of opportunity calls, Seth soon trades farming for commerce, establishing a store in the burgeoning pioneer town of Auraria, a stone's throw from the outpost of Denver. James Otis masterfully captures the spirit of the pioneer era, portraying a community grappling with the ferocity of nature, from blazing fires to destructive floods. Yet, amidst these trials, witness the indomitable spirit of settlers like Seth, and watch as Denver, against all odds, emerges from the wilderness to stake its place on the map. Dive into Seth's world and experience the adventure, resilience, and growth of a bygone era.
