Publisher: —
Description: The theme of this book is an examination of securitypatterns for mobile agents systems and a uniqueweighting scheme for security patterns. It ismotivated by the trend within software engineering,artificial intelligence to develop systems, whichpossess disconnects between security integration andsystem practicality. Security experts within softwareengineering are primarily concerned with the manyfacets of system security, while the mobileagent/distributed system developer is primarilyconcerned with building small commercial or academicprototypes systems that work for a particularresearch problem. This has led to the contemporaryproblem of ad-hoc mobile agent/distributed systemdevelopment in disjointed pieces in which security istypically considered as an afterthought not asaforethought. Security patterns are a unique way tobridge the gap between practical secure systems,specialized prototype systems within theinterdisciplinary fields of software engineering, andartificial intelligence….

In the hands of W. Ambrose Bebb, the published diary opened up a new avenue for Welsh-language literature, and Bebb`s work was hailed at its debut as `the tour de force of a true artist…. There is nothing exactly like it to be found written in Welsh, French or English.` This contemporary translation gives English readers their first glimpse into the joys and disappointments, struggles and achievements of `real life` in Wales as lovingly portrayed by one of her favorite sons.

Victor Pelevin
A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia and Other Stories

2003 y.
Publisher: New Directions Publishing Corporation
Description: Russian writers tend to gravitate toward either Tolstoyan gravity or Gogol`s brand of feather-light fabulism. Victor Pelevin, the author of four previous books, most definitely belongs in the latter camp. His work may be grounded in the grubby realities of contemporary Russia, but the food shortages, decaying apartment blocks, and political chaos serve him as a kind of naturalistic springboard from which he launches into one antic leap after another. Pelevin`s latest collection is a case in point. The title story finds a young, Moscow-based slacker visiting the countryside, hoping for a little bucolic enlightenment. Instead, he stumbles across a pack of werewolves deep in the forest, who hastily induct him into their numbers. Pelevin expertly conveys Sasha`s brand-new lupine perceptions: the way he can now `distinguish the creaking of a branch in the wind a hundred yards from the clearing and the chirping of a cricket coming from precisely the opposite direction.` But as the pack… [detailed...]

Sarah Orne Jewett
A White Heron and Other Stories

2003 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: Writing in wonderfully descriptive and fluent prose, Sarah Orne Jewett, best-known for `The Country of the Pointed Firs`, was early encouraged by her father to write not about things, but to `write the things themselves just as they are`. That she did so is clearly evident in this collection of sensitively written stories, regional sketches that celebrate the past, full of clearly delineated characters and carefully detailed natural and domestic settings. Her luminous descriptions of the landscape are apparent in the title story, commonly regarded as her finest single tale. Other stories focus on the rural lives of elderly women and their attempts to live with dignity and security. In `The Town Poor`, the characters are resilient in their poverty and compassionate towards those in need. Themes of female friendship in `The Dulham Ladies` and `Miss Tempy`s Watchers` are characteristic. This volume also includes `The Foreigner`, `Miss Peck`s Promotion`, `The Passing of Sister… [detailed...]

Theresa A. Hammond
A White-Collar Profession: African American Certified Public Accountants since 1921

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Among the major professions, certified public accountancy has the most severe underrepresentation of African Americans: less than one percent of CPAs are black. Theresa Hammond explores the history behind this statistic and chronicles the courage and determination of African Americans who sought to enter the field. In the process, she expands our understanding of the links between race, education, and economics. Drawing on interviews with pioneering black CPAs, among other sources, Hammond sets the stories of black CPAs against the backdrop of the rise of accountancy as a profession, the particular challenges that African Americans trying to enter the field faced, and the strategies that enabled some blacks to become CPAs. Prior to the 1960s, few white-owned accounting firms employed African Americans. Only through nationwide networks established by the first black CPAs did more African Americans gain the requisite professional experience. The civil rights era saw some progress in… [detailed...]

Daniel Pink
A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future

2006 y.
Publisher: Riverhead Trade
Description: Just as information workers surpassed physical laborers in economic importance, Pink claims, the workplace terrain is changing yet again, and power will inevitably shift to people who possess strong right brain qualities. His advocacy of `R-directed thinking` begins with a bit of neuroscience tourism to a brain lab that will be extremely familiar to those who read Steven Johnson`s Mind Wide Open last year, but while Johnson was fascinated by the brain`s internal processes, Pink is more concerned with how certain skill sets can be harnessed effectively in the dawning `Conceptual Age.` The second half of the book details the six `senses` Pink identifies as crucial to success in the new economy-design, story, symphony, empathy, play and meaning-while `portfolio` sections offer practical (and sometimes whimsical) advice on how to cultivate these skills within oneself. Thought-provoking moments abound-from the results of an intensive drawing workshop to the claim that `bad design` created… [detailed...]

Further, with a nod to contemporary environmental concerns, this publication broaches difficult questions. For example, can we protect these landscapes from further transformation? To what extent are physical changes acceptable? And is it possible to properly integrate them? The volume also includes an insightful text by writer and conservationist, Peter Fowler. [detailed...]

A Widow for One Year

1999 y.
Publisher: Black Swan
Description: Ruth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory character - a `difficult` woman. By no means is she conventionally `nice`, but she will never be forgotten. Her story is told in three parts, each focusing on a critical time in her life. When we first meet her - on Long Island in the summer of 1958 - Ruth is only four. The second time we meet Ruth it is 1990, when she is an unmarried woman whose personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career. She distrusts her judgement in men, for good reason. The book closes in 1995 when Ruth is forty-one years old, a widow and a mother. She`s about to fall in love for the first time. Richly comic, as well as deeply disturbing, `A Widow for One Year` is a multilayered love story of astonishing emotional force. Both ribald and erotic, it is also a brilliant novel about the passage of time and the-relentlessness of grief. Формат: 10,5 см х 17,5 см. [detailed...]
