  In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands. She centers the voices of people who resist residual governance and the harms of toxic mining waste to highlight how mining's centrality to South African history reveals the links between race, capitalism, the state, and the environment. In this way, Hecht shows how the history of mining in South Africa and the resistance to residual governance and environmental degradation is a planetary story: the underlying logic of residual governance lies at the heart of contemporary global racial capitalism and is a major accelerant of the Anthropocene.

  Digital Grooming - Discourses of...

  Illicit digital activity is a substantial and growing problem. Extremists' use of social media over the past decade or so has raised increasing concern among governments and media corporations alike. In Digital Grooming Nuria Lorenzo-Dus analyzes manipulation practices in digital spaces that are situated at, or beyond, the boundaries of law. Lorenzo-Dus identifies and examines in detail the online discourse of adults luring children for sexual abuse and exploitation (digital sexual grooming); extreme ideology groups aligning others to their views (digital ideological grooming); and drug dealers soliciting business in crypto markets (digital commercial grooming). With sophisticated style and stance analyses of large and varied datasets, the book reveals that digital sexual, ideological, and commercial grooming practices have much in common. Three stances—expertise, openness, and avidity—scaffold this manipulative work, which constructs groomers and their targets as sharing a homogenous identity. 
   
   
   
  By shedding new light on grooming practices, this book provides a key resource for discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, communication, and media studies, as well as for practitioners aiming to counter online grooming through policy changes, detection software, and prevention-focused training to promote digital civility and safety.

  "Hacking and Network Protocols: Strategies for Protection and Penetration in Networking" is an essential guide that bridges the gap between network defense and offensive tactics, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles that drive both protection and penetration in modern networks. 
  This book dives deep into the architecture of network protocols, uncovering the mechanics that govern their operation and how they can be both a target for hackers and a line of defense for network administrators. Readers will learn about the various types of attacks that can be carried out against network protocols, from man-in-the-middle attacks to denial of service (DoS) disruptions, and how such vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious actors. 
  But more than just understanding attacks, this book focuses heavily on defense mechanisms. It outlines strategic approaches to securing networks, from deploying advanced encryption practices to setting up comprehensive intrusion detection systems. Each chapter presents real-world scenarios and case studies, allowing readers to explore the consequences of both weak and robust network defenses. 
  Expert interviews and commentary provide insights into the evolving landscape of network security, offering foresight into future challenges and the technologies being developed to counter them. Whether you are a cybersecurity professional aiming to enhance your tactical skills or a network administrator seeking to fortify your infrastructure, "Hacking and Network Protocols" offers the knowledge and strategies needed to understand and manipulate the framework of network security effectively.
