Book Description:

Harvard Medical School psychologist and Huffington Post blogger Craig Malkin addresses the narcissism epidemic, by illuminating the spectrum of narcissism, identifying ways to control the trait, and explaining how too little of it may be a bad thing. What is narcissism? is one of the fastest rising searches on Google, and articles on the topic routinely go viral. Yet, the word narcissist seems to mean something different every time it s uttered. People hurl the word as insult at anyone who offends them. It s become so ubiquitous, in fact, that it s lost any clear meaning. The only certainty these days is that it s bad to be a narcissistreally badinspiring the same kind of roiling queasiness we feel when we hear the words sexist or racist. That s especially troubling news for millennials, the people born after 1980, who ve been branded the most narcissistic generation ever. In Rethinking Narcissism readers will learn that there s far more to narcissism than its reductive invective would imply. The truth is that we all fall on a spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side, and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A healthy middle exhibits a strong sense of self. On the far end lies sociopathy. Malkin deconstructs healthy from unhealthy narcissism and offers clear, step-by-step guidance on how to promote healthy narcissism in our partners, our children, and ourselves.

Book Description:

The writing and dialogue are solid, not outstanding, but pretty good. It does raise some interesting questions about human nature: In one scene, Miles is offered a life without strife by the pod people, and quickly turns it around to reveal that not only would a world of pod people be doomed, but also would have no drive, no enjoyment, no real living as we know it. It would all be bland, with no suffering but also no pleasure. Finney s writing is probably at its peak there, especially given the cold, pleasant attitude of the pod people no mustache-twirling and cackling for these villains.

The world building in this story is so visual and totally believable, its like a movie right before your eyes. The characters are not built up as in a lot of other stories. Most of the story deals with traveling through the landscape they find themselves in and trying to survive. I could not guess the ending, although maybe I should have been able to. There is a bit of repetition with the dialogue between the two main characters, but there is also a depth of positive emotions between them too. What is reality? Suspenseful, on the edge of your seat, do not miss this one! Recommend to any and all.

ISBN-13: 9781466567009

Format: PDF

Book Description:

Physical layer security has recently become an emerging technique to complement and significantly improve the communication security of wireless networks. Compared to cryptographic approaches, physical layer security is a fundamentally different paradigm where secrecy is achieved by exploiting the physical layer properties of the communication system, such as thermal noise, interference, and the time-varying nature of fading channels. Written by pioneering researchers, Physical Layer Security in Wireless Communications supplies a systematic overview of the basic concepts, recent advancements, and open issues in providing communication security at the physical layer. It introduces the key concepts, design issues, and solutions to physical layer security in single-user and multi-user communication systems, as well as large-scale wireless networks. The book starts with a brief introduction to physical layer security. The rest of the book is organized into four parts based on the different approaches used for the design and analysis of physical layer security techniques: Information Theoretic Approaches: introduces capacity-achieving methods and coding schemes for secure communication, as well as secret key generation and agreement over wireless channels Signal Processing Approaches: covers recent progress in applying signal processing techniques to design physical layer security enhancements Game Theoretic Approaches: discusses the applications of game theory to analyze and design wireless networks with physical layer security considerations Graph Theoretic Approaches: presents the use of tools from graph theory and stochastic geometry to analyze and design large-scale wireless networks with physical layer security constraints Presenting high-level discussions along with specific examples, illustrations, and references to conference and journal articles, this is an ideal reference for postgraduate students, researchers, and engineers that need to obtain a macro-level understanding of physical layer security and its role in future wireless communication systems.

PSYCHASTRA (Psycho-Astral Power) is the magic key to unsurpassable secret power. It required relentless search by my ancestors, spanning over 140 years and extending across every continent of the globe, to at last find the magic key to it. They discovered it concealed in the innermost sanctums of the psychic masters of Egypt, India, Africa and the West Indies. The author himself set out early in life to uncover the science behind the workings of this magic key. After thirty-five years of investigating it in university after university, library after library, dis-cussing it with big-money people and ex-presidents of North and Central America, famous film stars and producers who had happened to touch it and make enormous successes with it, and dozens of business and professional men, he was satisfied it could be made to work for his students. In this book he reveals the unsuspected science concealed with this magic keyand teaches how to seize and use it, too, with supremely gratifying results. In the Western world, with a mere touch of this magic key: A man with less than a grammar school education, started with practically nothing. Yet, in a few decades, he accumulated a fortune with an income which approximates a million dollars. A young athlete has remained the leader in his field and grosses almost a million dollars a year from his many business ventures stemming from this secret power.

What do Julius Erving, Larry Brown, Moses Malone, Bob Costas, the Indiana Pacers, the San Antonio Spurs and the Slam Dunk Contest have in common? They all got their professional starts in the American Basketball Association. The NBA may have won the financial battle, but the ABA won the artistic war. With its stress on wide-open individual play, the adoption of the 3-point shot and pressing defense, and the encouragement of flashy moves and flying dunks, today s NBA is still decades later just the ABA without the red, white and blue ball. Loose Balls is, after all these years, the definitive and most widely respected history of the ABA. It s a wild ride through some of the wackiest, funniest, strangest times ever to hit pro sports told entirely through the (often incredible) words of those who played, wrote and connived their way through the league s nine seasons.

Book Description:

Summary CORS in Action introduces Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) from both the server and the client perspective. It starts with the basics: how to make CORS requests and how to implement CORS on the server. It then explores key details such as performance, debugging, and security. API authors will learn how CORS opens their APIs to a wider range of users. JavaScript developers will find valuable techniques for building rich web apps that can take advantage of APIs hosted anywhere. The techniques described in this book are especially applicable to mobile environments, where browsers are guaranteed to support CORS. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the Book Suppose you need to share some JSON data with another application or service. If everything is hosted on one domain, it s a snap. But if the data is on another domain, the browser s same-origin policy stops you cold. CORS is a new web standard that enables safe cross-domain access without complex server-side code. Mastering CORS makes it possible for web and mobile applications to share data simply and securely. CORS in Action introduces CORS from both the server and the client perspective. It starts with making and enabling CORS requests and then explores performance, debugging, and security. You ll learn to build apps that can take advantage of APIs hosted anywhere and how to write APIs that expand your products to a wider range of users. For web developers comfortable with JavaScript. No experience with CORS is assumed. What s Inside CORS from the ground up Serving and consuming cross-domain data Best practices for building CORS APIs When to use CORS alternatives like JSON-P and proxies

Owen, a mortal hunter. The last of a famous family of hunters, helps Cait, a super rare hellcat shifter, out of a sticky situation and is eventually hired by her to rid her of a persistent and dangerous hellcat on her tail (pardon the pun lol), they also have to deal with a strong attraction to each other. Owen s character intrigued me when he was introduced earlier in the series and I was looking forward to his story. This didn t disappoint. He was a great character with lots of hidden depths that kept you guessing. Cait was equally great and a strong heroine. There was also some old faces from the series and we were introduced to some more intriguing characters that I m sure will feature further on in the series. There was lots of action and romance in this story. The writing was great as with all of Felicity Heaton s books. As I said before the story was well developed for a reasonably short book. This is part of a series but it could easily be read as a standalone imo. All in all a good enjoyable edition to what s becoming a highly addicted series. I give this 5 stars and would recommend it. Can t wait for the next book.

Format: PDF

Book Description:

This book, Plant Breeding , has it bases in an earlier text entitled An Introduction to Plant Breeding by Jack Brown and Peter Caligari, first published in 2008. The challenges facing todays plant breeders have never been more overwhelming, yet the prospects to contribute significantly to global food security and farmers quality of life have never been more exciting and fulfilling. Despite this there has been a worrying decline in public funding for plant breedingrelated research and support for international centers of germplasm development and crop improvement. In part, this has resulted in a serious reduction in the number of young people interested in devoting their professional careers to plant breeding as well as the number of universities offering plant breeding courses or conducting relevant research in plant breeding. The authors aim in writing this book is to provide an integrated and updated view of the current scientific progress related to diverse plant breeding disciplines, within the context of applied breeding programs. This excellent new book will encourage a new generation of students to pursue careers related to plant breeding and will assist a wider audience of agricultural students, agronomists, policy makers and those with an interest in agriculture in gaining insight about the issues affecting plant breeding and its key role in improving the quality of life of people and in securing sufficient food, at the quality required and at an affordable price. With comprehensive coverage including questions designed for students, and an accompanying website containing additional material to help in the study of the subject, Plant Breeding is an ideal text for all those studying plant and crop sciences, and a convenient reference source for professionals working in the area. All libraries within universities and research establishments where biological and agricultural sciences are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this book.

Book Description:

By dividing the creation of matter, energy, life, and mind into three big bangs, Holmes Rolston III brings into focus a history of the universe that respects both scientific discovery and the potential presence of an underlying intelligence. Matter-energy appears, initially in simpler forms but with a remarkable capacity for generating heavier elements. The size and expansion rate of the universe, the nature of electromagnetism, gravity, and nuclear forces enable the the explosion of life on Earth. DNA discovers, stores, and transfers information generating billions of species. Cognitive capacities escalate, and with neural sentience this results in human genius. A massive singularity, the human mind gives birth to language and culture, increasing the brain s complexity and promoting the spread of ideas. Ideas generate ideals, which lead life to take on spirit. The nature of matter-energy, genes, and their genesis therefore encourages humans to wonder where they are, who they are, and what they should do.

However, these pests are gradually becoming resistant to these agents, because the agents themselves are acting as selective factors making the pests better and better able to resist and persist. As a result, the use of biological controlling agents is increasing. This book is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook of biological control.

Format: PDF

Book Description:

Living systems exhibit a fundamental contradiction: they are highly stable and reliable, yet they have the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. This paradoxical behavior arises from the complexity of life-a high degree of order and cooperation that emerges from relatively simple interactions among cellular components. The Complexity Paradox proposes inventive, interdisciplinary approaches to maintaining health and managing and preventing disease by considering the totality of human biology, from the cellular level on up to entire populations of individuals. From the perspective of complexity, which acknowledges that there are limits to what we can know, Kenneth L. Mossman opens the door to understanding essential life processes in new and extraordinary ways. By tying together evolution, functional dynamics, and investigations into how the body processes energy and uses genetic information, Mossman s analysis expresses a unified theory of biology that fills a critical niche for future research in biology, medicine, and public health.

Book Description:

Value-Range Analysis of C Programs describes a static analysis for detecting buffer overflows. A buffer overflow in a C program occurs when input is read into a memory buffer whose length exceeds that of the buffer. Overflows usually lead to crashes and may even enable a malicious person to gain control over a computer system. They are recognised as one of the most widespread forms of computer vulnerability. Based on the analysis of a standard mail-forwarding program, necessary refinements of the basic analysis are examined, thereby paving the way for an analysis that is precise enough to prove the absence of buffer overflows in legacy C code.

The art of solving a structure from powder diffraction data has developed rapidly over the last ten years to the point where numerous crystal structures, both organic and inorganic, have been solved directly from powder data. However, it is still an art and, in contrast to its single crystal equivalent, is far from routine. The art lies not only in the correct application of a specific experimental technique or computer program, but also in the selection of the optimal path for the problem at hand. Written and edited by experts active in the field, and covering both the fundamental and applied aspects of structure solution from powder diffraction data, this book guides both novices and experienced practitioners alike through the maze of possibilities.

Book Description:

Wood in Construction How to Avoid Costly Mistakes focuses on the basic principles and appropriate use of wood in construction and illustrates how to avoid or minimise problems, to ensure that wood performs as expected when used in a construction application. Based on the author s extensive experience of manufacturing processes and practical applications in the timber, construction, joinery, shopfitting and furniture industries, Wood in Construction provides a guide to using wood in building in the real world. It describes the main causes of difficulty when using wood, and shows how to avoid or minimise problems, reducing the difficulties for the architect, engineer or specifier, builder and building owner. Technical enough to explain why things should be done in specific ways, but also practical enough to demonstrate how to use wood correctly and avoid doing the wrong things, this is an invaluable resource for construction specifiers (architects, engineers), carpenters, structural engineers, building surveyors, small/medium sized builders.
