Hacker culture can be esoteric, but this entertaining reference is here to help. Written by a longtime hacker, this fun reference introduces you to key people and companies, fundamental ideas, and milestone films, games, and magazines in the annals of hacking. From phreaking to deepfakes, and from APT (advanced package tool) to zombie malware, grasping the terminology is crucial to understanding hacker culture and history.
This book from Kim Crawley (8 Steps to Better Security) is written in a conversational style and organized from A to Z.
If you're just getting started on your hacker journey, you'll find plenty here to guide your learning and help you understand the references and cultural allusions you come across. More experienced hackers will find historical depth, wry humor, and some perhaps surprising facts about familiar cultural touchstones. This book will help you understand the relationship between hacker culture and cybersecurity; get to know the ideas behind the hacker ethos, like 'knowledge should be free'; explore topics and publications central to hacker culture, from 2600 Magazine to Cult of the Dead Cow; appreciate the history of cybersecurity; learn about key figures in the history of hacker culture; and understand the difference between hackers and cybercriminals.
Feeling restricted by her office-bound clinical practice, licensed clinical social worker Jen Udler decided to take therapy outdoors. Walking on local nature trails with her clients proved to be the breakthrough Jen was looking for. The calming presence of nature provided a varied backdrop, offering natural metaphors for each client's experience, while the rhythmic movement cultivated deeper connections between mind and body.
In Walk and Talk Therapy: A Clinician's Guide to Incorporating Movement and Nature into Your Practice, Jen presents the many benefits of an outdoor psychotherapy practice and provides tools for clinicians to develop their own version, no matter where or with whom they practice.
Inside, you'll find answers for your questions about how to take your therapy practice outside, including:
- Advice on foundational concerns such as ethics and safety
- Tips to preserve confidentiality in a public setting
- Practical considerations like timing, note taking, and the inherent unpredictability of the great outdoors
Learn how you can harness the unique beauty of each passing season to help your clients discover a healing sense of direction and meaning.
Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.
While state and federal prisons like Attica and Alcatraz occupy a central place in the national consciousness, most incarceration in the US occurs within the walls of local jails. In This Is My Jail, Melanie D. Newport situates the late twentieth-century escalation of mass incarceration in a longer history of racialized, politically repressive jailing. Centering the political actions of people until now overlooked-jailed people, wardens, corrections officers, sheriffs, and the countless community members who battled over the functions and impact of jails-Newport shows how local, grassroots contestation shaped the rise of the carceral state.
As ground zero for struggles over criminal justice reform, jails in Chicago and Cook County were models for jailers and advocates across the nation who aimed to redefine jails as institutions of benevolent transformation. From a slave sale on the jail steps to new jail buildings to electronic monitoring, from therapy to job training, these efforts further criminalized jailed people and diminished their capacity to organize for their civil rights. With prisoners as famous as Al Capone, Dick Gregory, and Harold Washington, and a place in culture ranging from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle to B. B. King's Live in Cook County Jail, This Is My Jail places jails at the heart of twentieth-century urban life and politics.
