Paperback. Condition: New. This book presents a data-driven message that exposes the cyberwar media campaign being directed by the Pentagon and its patronage networks. By demonstrating that the American public is being coerced by a threat that has been blown out of proportion-much like the run-up to the Gulf War or the global war on terror-this book discusses how the notion of cyberwar instills a crisis mentality that discourages formal risk assessment, making the public anxious and hence susceptible to ill-conceived solutions. With content that challenges conventional notions regarding cyber security, Behold a Pale Farce covers topics-including cybercrime; modern espionage; mass-surveillance systems; and the threats facing infrastructure targets such as the Federal Reserve, the stock exchange, and telecommunications-in a way that provides objective analysis rather than advocacy. This book is a must-read for anyone concerned with the recent emergence of Orwellian tools of mass interception that have developed under the guise of national security.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The original study on delay of gratification wasconducted by Dr. Walter Mischel, who recruitedhundreds of preschoolers from the Bing nursery schoolat Stanford University in the late 60s. Twofollow-ups of the original sample, first in highschool and then in college, showed that the number ofseconds that preschoolers were able to delaygratification significantly predicted diversesocial-cognitive outcomes years later.Impressed by these longitudinal findings, DanielGoleman, a science writer at New York Times,popularized this concept as an aspect of SocialIntelligence and Emotional Intelligence. I was giventhe opportunity to study the original Bing samplewhile I was a graduate student at UC Berkeley.Most of the original participants are now enteringinto middle adulthood and many of them have childrenof their own. This book reports new findings linkingdelay of gratification to new outcomes in laterstages of life. The primary contribution of this workis that it extends the stability of delay ofgratification from preschool to 40 years of age. Inaddition, my work proposes an instrument to measureadults ability to delay gratification.
