Worm - The First Digital World War

Mark Bowden

Sinossi

From the bestselling author of Black Hawk Down, the gripping story of the Conficker worm—the cyberattack that nearly toppled the world.    The Conficker worm infected its first computer in November 2008, and within a month had infiltrated 1.5 million computers in 195 countries. Banks, telecommunications companies, and critical government networks—including British Parliament and the French and German military—became infected almost instantaneously. No one had ever seen anything like it.   By January 2009, the worm lay hidden in at least eight million computers, and the botnet of linked computers it had created was big enough that an attack might crash the world. In this “masterpiece” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Mark Bowden expertly lays out a spellbinding tale of how hackers, researchers, millionaire Internet entrepreneurs, and computer security experts found themselves drawn into a battle between those determined to exploit the Internet and those committed to protecting it.

Don't Count the Kilometres Make...

Joao Perre Viana

It sounds unlikely, but this book is every possible aspect of the walker/writer genre in one beautifully seamless contemplation. Personal, anecdotal, psychogeographic, psychological, physiological, and spiritual understandings and stories weave around the profoundly practical, deeply kind, and grounded guidance of somebody with 7000s of kilometres and 7000s of insights and deep generosity of spirit.Joao shares his own unfolding inner and outer path with disarming humility and honesty and describes the journeys of his many participants with a lightness of touch that belies the profound transformations that people from all walks of life (pun intended) have discovered on the many Caminos described here.As well as this there is detailed advice on particular routes, where to stay, when to walk and how to do it which trump any walking guide I have read. It really is an instruction manual for a more intentional and fulfilling life and will leave you itching to go outside and begin.For those on a long walk or traveling light, this is the only book you will need.The best way to experience these pages will require walking shoes and the will to walk. Preferably along a path that leads to Nature. Because nothing beats reality, and the reality of Walking Mentorship is waiting for you out of doors.All the stories that appear in this book are real, and Joao tries to tell them as clearly and in detail as his mind remembers.He changed the name of the majority of the characters and avoided making any specific references related to real life.Finally, a note about the book itself: I am not sure this is a book. At times, it seemed like a diary; other moments, like a travel guide, and some days, I even looked at it as a manual.Use it in the best possible way. What you are about to open is just a door.After reading these pages, you might feel the urge to step outside and go for a long stroll. Don´t worry, that is normal.Keep walking

The Sacred Geometry of Our Cells

Ph.D. Sondra Barrett

Cells can only thrive in community; they need to connect with one another, and will call on each other as allies. And, when a cell needs a certain molecule, it actually embraces that molecule; it actually reaches out and hugs the molecule. This embrace is a universal principle of design. 
Sondra Barrett speaks of the sacredness of our cells related to how humans evolved. “The divine spark needs a container. I began thinking, God had to be a biochemist, because how do you build the container? In one of the theories we were mud or we were hot seawater. To form the container the molecules had to come together (these fatty hydrocarbons) like mixing salad oil with water. You get droplets that contain some salt water. So way back when, in the molecular evolution of our cells, there had to be the container that creates a sanctuary. Since it is my inclination to translate [what I see] into sacred correspondences, I’m talking about life needing a place and that place is a sanctuary. [That, then begs the question] where do we create sanctuary in our own life?” 
This dialogue is a blending of the scientific study of cells with the mystical mystery they contain. We learn how they can be our teachers. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

Dogfight - The Supermarine...

David Owen

Innumerable books have been published on the two most famous fighter aircraft of all time, the Supermarine Spitfire and the Messerschmitt Bf109. But books setting out to tell the story of both aircraft are very much rarer - probably fewer than the fingers of one hand. Yet their joint story is one which bears retelling since both were essential to the air campaigns of World War Two.Incredibly, the men who designed them lacked any experience of designing a modern fighter. R J Mitchell had begun his career working on industrial steam locomotives, Willy Messerschmitt had cut his aeronautical teeth on light and fragile gliders and sporting planes. Yet both men not only managed to devise aircraft which could hold their own in a world where other designs went from state-of-the-art to obsolete in a staggeringly short time, but their fighters remained competitive over six years of front-line combat. Despite the different ways their creators approached their daunting tasks and the obstacles each faced in acceptance by the services for which they were designed, they proved to be so closely matched that neither side gained a decisive advantage in a titanic struggle. Had either of them not matched up to its opponent so well, then the air war would have been a one-sided catastrophe ending in a quick defeat for the Allies or the Axis powers, and the course of twentieth century history would have been changed beyond recognition.
