Sinossi

"Mastering Social Engineering" explores the world of influence, persuasion, and manipulation, revealing how these techniques are used in cybersecurity and everyday interactions. It examines the psychological vulnerabilities that make individuals susceptible to social engineering attacks, such as phishing and pretexting, while also exploring the ethical implications of using these techniques. Understanding cognitive biases and emotional triggers is crucial for both defending against malicious attacks and applying influence ethically. Did you know that the human element is often the weakest link in security systems, making social engineering a potent threat? The book uses real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts.

 
The book takes a structured approach, beginning with the fundamentals of social engineering and delving into specific techniques and defense mechanisms. It highlights the importance of security awareness and provides strategies for mitigating risks at individual and organizational levels. Furthermore, the book doesn’t just focus on the negative aspects; it also explores the potential for ethical applications in fields like sales and marketing. This balanced perspective makes it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of influence and persuasion.

Breakthroughs - Realizing Our...

Keith Nelson

Breakthroughs show readers the world of Tricky Mixes as key pathways to breakthrough advances--estimates of human potential may never be the same again. Dynamic Systems theories and research provide the backbone concepts for Breakthroughs. Yet, readers discover that new Dynamic Mixes reveal untapped human potential in everyday situations not just in rigorous scientific studies. Individuals, small groups, and large organizations often get "stuck" in their progress by failing to respect and explore the complex interacting factors impacting their situations.  Breakthroughs present countless examples which reveal that variants of the same dynamic processes underlie being stuck, versus progressing at modest rates, or advancing at turbo speeds. These examples and events are drawn from research with Keith E. Nelson’s colleagues plus many independent labs around the world, as well as from first-person episodes of many kinds and from many sources. New cross-domain explorations and new insights propel readers into much higher levels of creativity, innovation, rapid learning, social problem solving, curiosity, and life balance. The Dynamic Tricky Mix perspective in most contexts helps shake up and improve paths toward solutions. In times of crisis, as in the Covid-19 pandemic, it becomes especially important to bring this kind of thinking to bear.

China's Foreign Policy...

Tim Nicholas Ruhlig

Throughout the post–Mao reform era, China has championed the principle of sovereign state control, which holds that states should not intervene in the affairs of other states. Yet as Tim Nicholas Rühlig argues in China's Foreign Policy Contradictions, in recent years they have not actually acted this way. Chinese foreign policy actions fail to match up with official rhetoric, and these inconsistencies—in combination with China's growing power—will have dramatic effects on the future shape of international order. 
 
 
 
To explain these contradictions, Rühlig draws from in-depth interviews with party-state officials to explain the foreign policy dynamics and processes of the normally opaque Chinese party-state. He demonstrates how different sources of the Chinese Communist Party's domestic legitimacy compete within the complex and highly fragmented Chinese party-state, resulting in contradictory foreign policies. He focuses on three issue areas: international human rights law and "responsibility to protect" (R2P); China's role in World Trade Organization (WTO) policymaking; and China's evolving relationship with Hong Kong. 
 
 
 
In this work, Rühlig shows not only why China's foreign policy is so inconsistent, but why it is likely to contribute to a more particularistic, plural, and fragmented international order in the years to come.

The Erich Fromm Reader

Erich Fromm

"Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world." —Newsweek 
 
 
 
Erich Fromm's basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of "social character," Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium. 
 
 
 
The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm's unique social psychological notion.
