Beschreibung

Past Health Threats explores the crucial link between historical epidemics and modern medical advancements, providing essential insights for strengthening global health security. By examining past disease outbreaks like the bubonic plague, smallpox, and the 1918 influenza pandemic, the book highlights how understanding their spread, societal responses, and effective interventions can inform proactive public health strategies. One intriguing fact is how quarantine measures used centuries ago still resonate in contemporary disease control, demonstrating the cyclical nature of pandemic responses.

 
The book progresses by first laying out basic epidemiological principles and then delving into significant historical outbreaks. It examines the development and impact of key medical tools like vaccines and antibiotics. The later sections address present-day challenges such as emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and health disparities, advocating for a global health security framework rooted in historical knowledge, scientific progress, and social justice. This approach is particularly valuable because it provides a historical lens through which to view and address current health challenges, offering evidence-based perspectives on issues like vaccine hesitancy and equitable resource distribution.

    Ethical hacking, often referred to as "white-hat hacking," involves the practice of intentionally probing computer systems, networks, or web applications to find and fix vulnerabilities. Unlike malicious hackers who exploit weaknesses for personal gain, ethical hackers use their skills to identify security flaws and improve an organization’s overall cybersecurity posture. The role of an ethical hacker is not only about finding vulnerabilities but also about preventing potential breaches and reducing the impact of future cyberattacks. 
    At its core, ethical hacking aims to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. With the increasing frequency of cyberattacks, ethical hackers play a critical role in the digital world, offering services to both private and public organizations. These hackers use the same techniques as cybercriminals, but their work is sanctioned and aimed at improving security rather than causing harm. 
    One of the key differences between ethical hackers and malicious hackers is the legal framework under which they operate. Ethical hackers must obtain permission from the system owners before conducting tests, ensuring that their actions are lawful. This distinguishes them from cybercriminals who may breach systems without authorization, which is illegal and punishable under law. The act of hacking without consent is a criminal offense, but ethical hackers work within a legal and controlled environment to reduce risks and vulnerabilities.

    A deep dive into the groundbreaking and bestselling video game series The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. After all, Borderlands 2 was promoted with the tagline “87 bazillion guns just got bazillionder.” These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns.  
     
    As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment. Tremblay also digs in to the way the Borderlands game franchise ― which has sold more than 26 million copies ― disrupts traditional notions of heroism, creating nuanced and compelling storytelling that highlights the strengths and possibilities of this relatively new narrative medium.  
     
    The latest entry in the acclaimed Pop Classics series, Ain’t No Place for a Hero is a fascinating read for Borderlands devotees as well as the uninitiated.

    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.
