  Rebel Minds - Class War Mass...

  We understand the world on the basis of our experience. How can we know if our experience is unique to us or common to many? 
  As a physician, I listened to hundreds of people's experiences. Their stories enabled me to see social patterns that are normally hidden. 
  I learned that most people think of their problems as unique and individual, when they are actually common and social. I discovered that the suffering we label as mental illness is the kind of suffering we would expect when people are trapped in bad situations. Why do we treat this suffering as a personal or medical defect? Why don't we change the conditions that cause suffering? 
  Such questions cannot be left to experts and other authorities. Each of us is personally affected by what happens in society. That gives us the right to express our opinion about what is wrong and to be involved in making it right. How can we do this? 
  Rebel Minds reveals that what we think of as social problems are actually symptoms of a deeper underlying problem, a global capitalist system that divides humanity into classes: a tiny ruling class who compete for wealth and power, a larger manager class who enforce their rule, and the majority working-class who create all social wealth, yet get no say over how that wealth is used. The result is astounding inequality and massive suffering that is justified with the racist explanation that social problems are rooted in biology and cannot be changed. This is dead wrong. 
  As Rebel Minds explains, we do not have to accept how things are. We can build the world we want and deserve. Not by wishing and hoping and trusting authorities, but by understanding how we got here, what keeps us here, and what we must do to end our suffering and make the world safe for everyone.

  Discover the secret method used to build the world . . . 
   
   
   
  For millennia, humans have used one simple method to solve problems. Whether it's planting crops, building skyscrapers, developing photographs, or designing the first microchip, all creators follow the same steps to engineer progress. But this powerful method, the "engineering method", is an all but hidden process that few of us have heard of—let alone understand—but that influences every aspect of our lives. 
   
   
   
  Bill Hammack, a Carl Sagan Award–winning professor of engineering and viral "The Engineer Guy" on YouTube, has a lifelong passion for the things we make, and how we make them. Now, for the first time, he reveals the invisible method behind every invention and takes us on a whirlwind tour of how humans built the world we know today. From the grand stone arches of medieval cathedrals to the mundane modern soda can, Hammack explains the golden rule of thumb that underlies every new building technique, every technological advancement, and every creative solution that leads us one step closer to a better, more functional world. Spanning centuries and cultures, Hammack offers a fascinating perspective on how humans engineer solutions in a world full of problems.

  We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
   
   
   
  A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.

  Pope Francis - From the End of...

  The Wall Street Journal

  On March 13, the cardinals of the Catholic Church, gathered to elect a successor to a living Pope for the first time in 600 years, announced a dramatic shift. By elevating Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina to become Pope Francis the 266th Pontiff, the cardinals were naming the first-ever Pope from the growing New World to take the helm of the church at a crucial moment. 
  It was a stunning move by a 2,000-year-old institution that has immense influence—with 1.2 billion adherents worldwide—and huge problems, including a decade-old sex-abuse scandal that has shattered faith in the institution, a shortage of priests and secular trends that have drained the church of members and challenged its relevancy in a changing world. 
  From the shocking decision by Pope Benedict XVI to retire, to the introduction of Pope Francis, from the back streets of Buenos Aires to the front row at St. Peter's Square, reporters from The Wall Street Journal have chronicled these dramatic weeks in the life of the oldest institution in the world. Now, in a new e-book, Journal reporters will present a detailed, timely and original biography of the new Pope Francis, as well as new insight on the bargaining and drama that surrounded his rise. Pope Francis will present the full, in-depth story of the church's change in direction and the man charged with leading it, and consider how Pope Francis might address the years of scandal and shortcomings while leading Catholics worldwide toward a deeper faith.
