Summary

In "Tesla's Experiments with Alternating Currents," Nikola Tesla delves into the groundbreaking principles and applications of alternating current (AC) systems, a revolutionary technology that transformed the electrical landscape. Written in Tesla's characteristic blend of technical precision and visionary enthusiasm, this work elucidates both the theoretical underpinnings of AC and its practical implementations, demonstrating its superiority over direct current (DC). Situated within the late 19th-century milieu of scientific innovation, the book reflects Tesla's pioneering spirit and addresses contemporary debates about the burgeoning electric industry, appealing to both scientific and lay audiences. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and engineer, is renowned for his significant contributions to the development of electrical engineering and electromagnetism. Born in 1856, Tesla's formative experiences in Europe, paired with his later work in America, fueled his relentless quest to improve electrical systems. His tumultuous rivalry with contemporaries, particularly Thomas Edison, highlights the socio-political backdrop against which Tesla championed AC technology, ultimately influencing the global adoption of electricity. Tesla's work is essential reading for anyone intrigued by the evolution of modern electrical systems, as it not only showcases his innovative mind but also invites reflection on the transformative impact of technology on society. This book is a masterclass in scientific exposition that will captivate engineers, historians, and technology enthusiasts alike.

Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
     
     
     
    The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.
