Diario de flores, fracasos, olvidos y simulacros

Autor: Santiago Aguaded Landero

Número de Páginas: 157

El tiempo y su paso es el tema por excelencia de la poesía. Es el tema que incluye a todos los demás. Porque hay tiempos para la alegría y la tristeza, para el trabajo y para el ocio, tiempos para amar y odiar, para nacer y morir. Hay tiempos también para el espacio, como ya propuso Juan Ramón Jimenez. La originalidad de este libro de Santiago Aguaded Landero (SAL) reside en considerar también la cotidianidad del tiempo. Este cuaderno de flores, fracasos, olvidos y simulacros pertenece al tipo de poesía que denominaría urgente y necesaria. Poesía escrita por la vida diaria. Poesía necesaria, al menos para el poeta, como el pan, el agua, el sol y las flores. En un mundo corrupto en el que colapsa un sistema económico, en el que todo se mercantiliza, el sueño del poeta es resistir gracias a la é(sté)tica. Resistencia contra los relojes urgentes de oro y los espejos electrónicos del mal, contra todo lo que esclaviza y limita al individuo plural hacia las elevadas «contingencias del ser». La originalidad del libro también está en el uso de nuevas sintaxis espacio-temporales en las que el poeta conjuga la poesía (casi toda en prosa) con citas a pies de página...

The History of Information Security

Autor: Karl Maria Michael De Leeuw , Jan Bergstra

Número de Páginas: 901

Information Security is usually achieved through a mix of technical, organizational and legal measures. These may include the application of cryptography, the hierarchical modeling of organizations in order to assure confidentiality, or the distribution of accountability and responsibility by law, among interested parties. The history of Information Security reaches back to ancient times and starts with the emergence of bureaucracy in administration and warfare. Some aspects, such as the interception of encrypted messages during World War II, have attracted huge attention, whereas other aspects have remained largely uncovered. There has never been any effort to write a comprehensive history. This is most unfortunate, because Information Security should be perceived as a set of communicating vessels, where technical innovations can make existing legal or organisational frame-works obsolete and a breakdown of political authority may cause an exclusive reliance on technical means.This book is intended as a first field-survey. It consists of twenty-eight contributions, written by experts in such diverse fields as computer science, law, or history and political science, dealing with...

Enigma Myth Deciphered

Autor: Marek Grajek

Número de Páginas: 509

This unique new volume analyses source documents both previously known and recently declassified, generating an extremely broad and original synthesis about Enigma. The author uses his experience as a cryptologist to fill in gaps in the sources or to correct misguided interpretations, also adding the passion of a journalist, drawing a vivid picture of the characters and the story. As a Pole, he presents this story through the lens of the fate of the Polish mathematicians who were the first to break the cipher as early as 1932 and laid the foundations for the subsequent Allied success. The book’s coverage ranges from the mathematical foundations of codebreaking, through the complex fates of the people and organisations involved in the attacks on the Enigma ciphers, the impact of decrypts on the fate of the major campaigns of the Second World War, to the role that wartime cryptology and codebreakers played in the birth of digital civilisation. The Polish mathematicians’ story is presented in the full context of the struggle with the cipher, including the complex interplay between codebreakers, military commanders and politicians of the UK, US, Poland, France, and the Third...

WW2 Codebreaking People and Places

Autor: Ronald Koorm

Número de Páginas: 384

WW2 Codebreaking People and Places is the first volume of a series on a glossary of codebreaking, ‘People and Places’, brings to the reader an easily understandable account and listing, of those involved in collecting and analysing military intelligence, principally during the second world war. while some will be well known, such as Alan Turing, many others have made significant contributions to codebreaking but fail to attract the attention of the media for the most part. From an individual named ‘Wren’ who worked at a codebreaking outstation supporting Bletchley Park, to a mathematician who modified a codebreaking machine just prior to D-Day, to a ladies foundationwear factory in Hertfordshire that helped make machine components, these people and places now can be appreciated as to where they fitted-in within the overall picture of gathering, and processing enemy intelligence in wartime. The entries are cross-referenced to enable the reader to research as much or as little as they want, to dip-in to the glossary, to use it as a basis for further study, or just to learn a little more about the people that helped us win the war with our allied friends. .

Decrypted Secrets

Autor: Friedrich L. Bauer

Número de Páginas: 500

Cryptology, for millennia a "secret science", is rapidly gaining in practical importance for the protection of communication channels, databases, and software. Beside its role in computerized information systems (public key systems), more and more applications within computer systems and networks are appearing, which also extend to access rights and source file protection. The first part of this book treats secret codes and their uses - cryptography. The second part deals with the process of covertly decrypting a secret code - cryptanalysis - where in particular advice on assessing methods is given. The book presupposes only elementary mathematical knowledge. Spiced with a wealth of exciting, amusing, and sometimes personal stories from the history of cryptology, it will also interest general readers. Decrypted Secrets has become a standard book on cryptology. The new edition has been revised and extended in many details.

A Little History of Literature

Autor: John Sutherland

Número de Páginas: 285

A much-loved author brings the world of literature alive for all ages This 'little history' takes on a very big subject: the glorious span of literature from Greek myth to graphic novels, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Harry Potter. John Sutherland is perfectly suited to the task. He has researched, taught, and written on virtually every area of literature, and his infectious passion for books and reading has defined his own life. Now he guides young readers and the grown-ups in their lives on an entertaining journey 'through the wardrobe' to a greater awareness of how literature from across the world can transport us and help us to make sense of what it means to be human. Sutherland introduces great classics in his own irresistible way, enlivening his offerings with humor as well as learning: Beowulf, Shakespeare, Don Quixote, the Romantics, Dickens, Moby Dick, The Waste Land, Woolf, 1984, and dozens of others. He adds to these a less-expected, personal selection of authors and works, including literature usually considered well below 'serious attention' - from the rude jests of Anglo-Saxon runes to The Da Vinci Code. With masterful digressions into various themes - censorship,...

The Third Reich is Listening

Autor: Christian Jennings

Número de Páginas: 387

Drawing on recently declassified documents, and now available in paperback, this is the utterly compelling history of the successes and failures of the German Intelligence Services throughout World War II. The success of the Allied codebreakers at Bletchley Park was one of the iconic intelligence achievements of World War II, immortalised in films such as The Imitation Game and Enigma. But cracking Enigma was only half of the story. Across the Channel, German intelligence agencies were hard at work breaking British and Allied codes. Now updated in paperback, The Third Reich is Listening is a gripping blend of modern history and science, and describes the successes and failures of Germany's codebreaking and signals intelligence operations from 1935 to 1945. The first mainstream book to take an in-depth look at German cryptanalysis in World War II, it tells how the Third Reich broke the ciphers of Allied and neutral countries, including Great Britain, France, Russia and Switzerland. This book offers a dramatic new perspective on one of the biggest stories of World War II, using declassified archive material and colourful personal accounts from the Germans at the heart of the story,...

House of Spies

Autor: Peter Matthews

Número de Páginas: 350

St Ermin's Hotel has been at the centre of British intelligence since the 1930s, when it was known to MI6 as 'The Works Canteen'. Intelligence officers such as Ian Fleming and Noel Coward were to be found in the hotel's Caxton Bar, along with other less well-known names. Winston Churchill allegedly conceived the idea of the Special Operations Executive there over a glass (or two) of his favourite champagne in the early days of the Second World War, and the operation was started up in three gloomy rooms on the hotel's second floor, with the traitorous Cambridge Spies among its founders. When Stalin's Russia turned to a peacetime enemy in the Cold War that followed, Kim Philby and Guy Burgess handed over intelligence to their Russian counterparts in the dark corners of the hotel, while MI6 man George Blake operated as a Soviet double agent just across the road in Artillery Mansions. Meanwhile, St Ermin's proximity to government offices ensured its continued use by both domestic and foreign secret agents. In this first book on St Ermin's, Peter Matthews, a witness to the intelligence battle for supremacy between MI5, MI6 and the KGB, explores this remarkable true history that is more ...

Georg Christoph Tholen zählt zu den Wegbereitern der deutschsprachigen Medienwissenschaft, die er seit ihren Anfängen in den 1980er Jahren mitgeprägt und für kritische Interventionen aus den Feldern der Philosophie, Kulturtheorie, Soziologie und Psychoanalyse offen gehalten hat. Seine Arbeiten drängen stets darauf, die Schnittstellen der Medien (im übertragenen wie im wörtlichen Sinne) offenzulegen und nicht nur dem Realen, sondern auch dem Symbolischen und dem Imaginären der Technik nachzugehen. Freunde, Kollegen und Schüler gratulieren dem Jubilar zum 65. Geburtstag mit einer Reihe von Beiträgen, deren thematische und theoretische Vielfalt zugleich die Breite von Tholens eigener Forschungstätigkeit dokumentiert.
