Summary

"Extreme Endurance" explores the science behind human limits, contrasting real-world athletic feats with the often-exaggerated portrayals of survival in manga. The book delves into the physiological adaptations enabling extreme endurance and the psychological factors driving individuals beyond perceived limitations. Intriguingly, the cardiovascular system's role in oxygen delivery is vital, alongside metabolic processes and thermoregulation in maintaining body temperature under stress. By critically comparing manga depictions with scientific findings, the book aims to demystify endurance. The book presents information accessibly, building from fundamental principles and examining scenarios from ultra-marathon runners and free divers to survival in harsh environments. It analyzes the science involved, drawing from peer-reviewed articles and expert interviews, while also acknowledging manga's cultural impact. "Extreme Endurance" is structured in three parts: introducing key physiological concepts, examining specific examples, and synthesizing findings to discuss future research and ethical considerations. This unique approach provides a deeper appreciation for the body’s inherent capabilities and the representation of human potential in popular media. Readers gain insights into sports medicine, psychology, and cultural studies, enhancing a holistic understanding of endurance. It connects to sports medicine by examining injury prevention and psychology by exploring mental strategies used by athletes.

Ransom War - How Cyber Crime...

Max Smeets

This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
 
 
 
The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
 
 
 
Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.
