Book Description
In this collection of essays that represent original and interdisciplinary work, respected scholars address a number of privacy issues. These include how governmental and private sectors develop and deploy technologies that can pose serious compromises to the privacy of individuals and groups; how information and communication system designs pose threats to privacy; how we manage private concerns (child care, job leave, and identity) as public issues amenable to political action and shared awareness; and the fundamental asymmetry of power that exists between individuals and small groups on the one hand and large governmental and corporate entities on the other. Arranged in three sections—law and policy; information technology; and information studies, history, and sociology—Privacy in America: Interdisciplinary Perspectives will be useful to scholars, practitioners, and students in a variety of fields, including information science, library science, and information systems.

The Helverti Invasion
Author: John Dalmas
Publisher: Baen Publishing Enterprises
ISBN: 1618244078
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
MYSTIC EARTH WARRIORS VS. ALIEN CULTS OF CHAOS After a global war had crippled Earth's civilization, lizard-like aliens had thought they would have no trouble in moving in and taking over. That was a big mistake¾secret galactic agents had been training the mystic warriors of Earth to defend themselves against just such a power grab. The alien sociopaths had expected the low-tech humans to be easy pickings, but instead they found they had stumbled into a buzz saw, and were soon driven off. Luis Raoul DenUyl had been only a young recruit in the warrior brotherhood, but still played a pivotal role in what some called The Lizard War. Now, years later, he has just completed his training¾and not a moment too soon. The Helverti, furry but definitely not cute aliens, were members of a cult that revered chaos and tried to spread it throughout the galaxy. To that end, they plan to plunge the different tribes of humanity into war. It's mystic warriors vs. alien technology¾ and the Earthlings are not as weak as they appear.... Further Backgroun On September 1, 1983, a South Korean airliner was shot down by a Soviet fighter plane, killing 269 people. At a point when Earth was already being studied by an advanced space civilization the resulting events gave rise to an alternate time line. Consequences of that singular event captured the attention of the alien's Cultural Oversight Bureau, and also, after a time, of some sociopathic chaos cults. It also gave rise to a Zen-like warrior brotherhood known as the Order of Saint Higuchi. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). "A polished and inventive writer." ¾Spider Robinson "An outstanding science fiction novelist." ¾Rave Reviews "... will keep the reader guessing¾and turning pages¾to the very end." ¾West Coast Review of Books

Book Description
.......The resounding success of the universally-acclaimed and documented Roman Forum construction project has changed Adam and Tyras lives for ever - setting them on a collision course with destiny where their true voyage of inner discovery is only just beginning. In the wake of their monumental enlightenment amid the ruined and deserted backstreets of the Via Claudia and Adams chance finding of the gold and silver rings, it seems life has finally resumed a semblance of normality. As the leaves begin to fall and the days grow noticeably colder and shorter with the imminent onset of another winter, all appears well in their fine country house where the flickering candle flames and blazing log fires bring warmth and comfort on the chill evenings. Within the convivial atmosphere of one of Tyras elegant dinner parties, their all-seeing and spiritualist friend, Sophie, announces an impending newspaper article which, ultimately, not only gives them all cause to reflect upon their pasts again but also necessitates a return trip to Italy and a lonely, isolated place where, it seems, the hand of man has not moved for an eternity. In accordance with Sophies eerie prediction, after only a few short weeks a team of young archaeologists stumble, quite by chance, on something which when unearthed and investigated, serves not only to confound them with its intrigue and mysteries and leaves them searching for answers, it proves to have far-reaching consequences for Adam, Tyra and Sophie as a group - plunging the world of medical science and the occult movement into shock and bewilderment when the true depth of the discovery is made known....
