The Mathematics of Politics

The Mathematics of Politics

It is because mathematics is often misunderstood it is commonlybelieved it has nothing to say about politics. The high schoolexperience with mathematics for so many the lasting impressionof the subject suggests that mathematics is the study of numbers operations formulas and manipulations of symbols. Thosebelieving this is the extent of mathematics might conclude mathematics has no relevance to politics. This book counters this impression. The second edition of this popular book focuses on mathematical reasoningabout politics. In the search for ideal ways to make certain kindsof decisions a lot of wasted effort can be averted if mathematics can determine thatfinding such an ideal is actually impossible in the first place. In the first three parts of this book we address the following threepolitical questions:(1) Is there a good way to choose winners of elections?(2) Is there a good way to apportion congressional seats?(3) Is there a good way to make decisions in situations of conflict anduncertainty?In the fourth and final part of this book we examine the ElectoralCollege system that is used in the United States to select a president. There we bring together ideas that are introduced in each of the threeearlier parts of the book. | The Mathematics of Politics

The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie is Barak Engel’s second book. As the originator of the “Virtual CISO” (fractional security chief) concept he has served as security leader in dozens of notable organizations such as Mulesoft Stubhub Amplitude Analytics and many others. The Security Hippie follows his previous book Why CISOs Fail which became a sleeper hit earning a spot in the Cybercannon project as a leading text on the topic of information security management. In this new book Barak looks at security purely through the lens of story-telling sharing many and varied experiences from his long and accomplished career as organizational and thought leader and visionary in the information security field. Instead of instructing this book teaches by example sharing many real situations in the field and actual events from real companies as well as Barak’s related takes and thought processes. An out-of-the-mainstream counterculture thinker – Hippie – in the world of information security Barak’s rich background and unusual approach to the field come forth in this book in vivid color and detail allowing the reader to sit back and enjoy these experiences and perhaps gain insights when faced with similar issues themselves or within their organizations. The author works hard to avoid technical terms as much as possible and instead focus on the human and behavioral side of security finding the humor inherent in every anecdote and using it to demystify the field and connect with the reader. Importantly these are not the stories that made the news; yet they are the ones that happen all the time. If you’ve ever wondered about the field of information security but have been intimidated by it or simply wished for more shared experiences then The Security Hippie is the perfect way to open that window by accompanying Barak on some of his many travels into the land of security.

The Practice of Corporate Governance

The Practice of Corporate Governance

All corporate entities from the largest multinational conglomerate to the smallest tennis club need effective governance. Some features of corporate governance are basic common to all corporate entities: every governing body needs to think strategically and set policies to supervise ongoing management activities to ensure the entity is financially viable and is achieving its objectives. Every corporate entity has a governing body whether it is called a board of directors a committee a council or anything else. Many people when appointed to the governing body of an organisation have little idea of what to expect and what is expected of them. Even those with board-level experience find that the culture and leadership style of other governing bodies differ. The aim of this book is to help them understand and improve their contribution to the organisation and governing body they serve. The book is a simple guide to the work of every board member. Each chapter concludes with a worksheet which enables readers to apply the ideas in that chapter to their own organisation. On completing the book readers will have a detailed analysis of the governance of their own organisation. Effective governance improves performance and ensures long-term success. This book offers a straightforward guide to the fundamental work of governing bodies and the people who serve on them. | The Practice of Corporate Governance

The Internet of Materials

The Internet of Materials

State-of-the-art flat structures called metasurfaces can filter and steer light and sound render an object completely invisible to electromagnetic waves and much more. They can deliver automation remote operation and advanced performance to a wide variety of existing systems with applications in communications medical imaging sensing and security. However for non-specialists individual metasurfaces are currently restricted to limited reusability and accessibility. This book brings together various scientific disciplines with the aim of outlining a programmable ‘plug-and-play’ metasurface. The book focuses on a recently proposed platform – known as the HyperSurface – that provides many electromagnetic functions of metasurfaces in a single structure which can be controlled and reconfigured by software. This revolutionary approach paves the way for new opportunities in wireless communications and programmable wireless environments: HyperSurfaces could link networks with objects and physical environments and create smarter systems that are far more responsive to user demands. Walls that absorb radiation or block digital eavesdropping and wireless long-distance charging of devices are among the many possibilities. The book aspires to provide the foundational knowledge for creating an Internet of Materials enabling smart environments at any scale – from indoor wireless communications to medical imaging equipment. Although the set of disciplines involved covers a considerable span we hope that the material will benefit experts and students alike. | The Internet of Materials

Cyber Careers The Basics of Information Technology and Deciding on a Career Path

Cyber Careers The Basics of Information Technology and Deciding on a Career Path

The approach taken in this book emphasizes the basics of information technology and helps students decide whether to pursue an information technology career. Most students fail to pursue an IT career because of their limited knowledge (sometimes no knowledge) about the area. Similarly most students pursuing a career in IT do not research the field before their pursuit. This book is purposely designed for students in this category. The book may be offered as a required text for an elective or core course to all bachelor's degree students regardless of specialization. Compared to other textbooks this text guides students pursuing or wanting to pursue an IT degree/career. Most students often begin their study of IT without knowing the outside and inside of the area. Most of these students can change their minds to pursue a different career path after spending several semesters of studies a waste of their time. If students are taught from the onset about what an IT career entails and what it takes to become successful it will significantly help students and not waste their time. This book addresses the issue. | Cyber Careers The Basics of Information Technology and Deciding on a Career Path
