Sinossi

Code Breaking History explores the fascinating evolution of cryptography, from ancient ciphers to modern cybersecurity, revealing how code breaking has shaped pivotal moments in history. The book examines the intertwined development of cryptographic techniques, such as substitution and transposition ciphers, alongside the art and science of cryptanalysis, highlighting the ongoing battle between those who protect information and those who seek to unveil it.

 
One intriguing fact is that cryptography's influence extends beyond military strategy to impact diplomatic negotiations and personal liberties. The book argues that the history of cryptography and cryptanalysis reflects broader social, political, and technological forces. It begins by introducing fundamental concepts like encryption and decryption, then traces their development through major historical periods, each addressed in distinct chapters. For example, the rise of mechanical cipher devices like the Enigma machine during World War II demonstrates the escalating sophistication of encryption methods.

 
The book uniquely combines technical explanations with comprehensive historical analysis, emphasizing the practical implications of these techniques in modern digital security and data protection.

Ain't No Place for a Hero:...

Kaitlin Tremblay

A deep dive into the groundbreaking and bestselling video game series The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. After all, Borderlands 2 was promoted with the tagline “87 bazillion guns just got bazillionder.” These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns.  
 
As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment. Tremblay also digs in to the way the Borderlands game franchise ― which has sold more than 26 million copies ― disrupts traditional notions of heroism, creating nuanced and compelling storytelling that highlights the strengths and possibilities of this relatively new narrative medium.  
 
The latest entry in the acclaimed Pop Classics series, Ain’t No Place for a Hero is a fascinating read for Borderlands devotees as well as the uninitiated.

Atomic Days - The Untold Story...

Joshua Frank

Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl. 
 
  
 
The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River. 
 
 
 
Whistleblowers are now speaking out, hoping their pleas can help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers, and the global environment.
