Book Description

In The Girl from God's Country, Kay Armatage reintroduces film studies scholars to Nell Shipman, a pioneer in both Canadian and American film, and one of proportionately numerous women from Hollywood's silent era who wrote, directed, produced, and acted in motion pictures. Born and raised in British Columbia, Shipman became a contract actress for Vitagraph Studios, starring in God's Country and the Woman (1915) and Back to God's Country (1919), among other films. These action-packed adventure melodramas, in which the heroine is called upon to rescue her husband and defeat the villain, were immensely successful. Later, Shipman started up her own production company to make films centred on her screen persona, 'the girl from God's country.' By the mid 1920s, however, the formation of the large Hollywood studios and vertical integration closed down the independents, Shipman among them. Nevertheless, she continued writing until her death in 1970.

Through the use of social history, feminist film theory, and biography, Armatage creates a portrait of a woman film pioneer. Using Shipman's working life as a window to the profession, Armatage explores the position of women in modernism, the developing film industry, and cinematic practice of the 1920s. The Girl from God's Country also contextualizes Shipman's work within the development of Hollywood as a locus of artistic production and in relation to women filmmakers from Europe, Australia, Russia and the United States. Armatage brings Shipman back to life in this important book.

Book Description

This is the most comprehensive study available of the popular theater that developed during the last decades of tsarist Russia. Swift examines the origins and significance of the new "people's theaters" that were created for the lower classes in St. Petersburg and Moscow between 1861 and 1917. His extensively researched study, full of anecdotes from the theater world of the day, shows how these people's theaters became a major arena in which the cultural contests of late imperial Russia were played out and how they contributed to the emergence of an urban consumer culture during this period of rapid social and political change.
Swift illuminates many aspects of the story of these popular theaters--the cultural politics and aesthetic ambitions of theater directors and actors, state censorship politics and their role in shaping the theatrical repertoire, and the theater as a vehicle for social and political reform. He looks at roots of the theaters, discusses specific theaters and performances, and explores in particular how popular audiences responded to the plays.

The foundational information every professional should know..........2006-12-26

It's easy to find security books that will tell you how to break or secure a system. But there's not an abundance of books that go into the foundational information in great depth. This one does just that... Security in Computing (4th Edition) by Charles P. Pfleeger and Shari Lawrence Pfleeger.

Contents: Is There a Security Problem in Computing?; Elementary Cryptography; Program Security; Protection in General-Purpose Operating Systems; Designing Trusted Operating Systems; Database and Data Mining Security; Security in Networks; Administering Security; The Economics of Cybersecurity; Privacy in Computing; Legal and Ethical Issues in Computer Security; Cryptography Explained; Bibliography; Index

Security in Computing is probably best thought of as a "textbook" on the subject. At 850 pages, it's pretty dense and structured similar to what you'd expect to pick up at a college bookstore. In all the chapters, you'll be introduced to the essential terms and concepts, which then serve as the base for additional discussion of the finer details and implications. And like most textbooks, there are exercises at the end which you can just see being assigned by your prof. There's a strong emphasis on cryptography, as two of the chapters deal with that topic. Without getting into minutiae and esoterica, the authors give you all the foundational information you could ask for.

This is *not* a practical hands-on treatment of software security. If you're expecting to read up on the latest hacks and virus techniques, you'll be disappointed. This also isn't the type of book you'll be pulling off your bookshelf every day as reference. But if you're a security professional, you *need* to know these essential concepts. This would be one of those "other" security books that you should own to make sure you're covering all the bases on your education.

very superficial, not in depth enough.......2006-12-22

I found this book to give only a cursory overview to some very important topics. If you're very new to computer security, and for that matter computers and IT in general, this may be a useful book. Anyone who has even a basic knowledge of computer security will not find this book useful at all.

Textbook, not an easy reading book.......2006-11-01

There are a number of approaches to how to teach security ranging from hack it till it breaks to building on sound theory. This book is the latter.

It is a textbook, a bit dry, but that goes with the territory when you know you need to read chapter two to pass the quiz, chapter two gets read. The authors have worked hard, the writing works to make things clear, there are lots of very professional illustrations.

This most reminds me of Matt Bishop's book, with its weight and pagecount, but this is more approachable. This book coupled with a good instructor can certainly help teach the theory, terminology and concepts of information security.

The best chapters are six, Database and Data Mining ten, Privacy in Computing and eleven, Legal and Ethical issues.

The weakest chapter is eight, where they breeze over risk analysis and security policy. I also found chapter three, Program Security made me keep thinking, come on, you are so close, put in the extra effort and take this over the top.

The most interesting thing from a book design is that cryptography is split into chapter two elementary cryptography and the last chapter (twelve) crytography explained instead of being taught back to back.

accessible to a general IT readership.......2006-10-28

[A review of the 4th Edition, that was published in October 2006.]

I would compare this book to Matt Bishop's "Introduction to Computer Security". The latter is far more mathematical. Probably too much so for the typical sysadmin who is looking to defend her computers and network. Bishop's book is perhaps best suited to someone who wants to deeply understand cryptosystems and malware, and who might want to design a new cryptosystem or a malware detector. Whereas the Pfleeger book does not stress mathematical formalism at all. Much easier for a broader IT audience to understand. For a sysadmin, programmer, or an IT manager. All you need is some general background in computing, and much of the book will be very intelligible.

For cryptography, there are 2 chapters, that give a quick overview of symmetric and public key systems. At the schematic level, with few equations. The seminal RSA algorithm is explained. The second cryptography chapter is actually the book's last chapter. Appropriate, because it is the most mathematical section of the text. It includes a nice Figure 12-3, that is an especially clear schematic of the hierarchies of complexity classes. It should make apparent the distinction between NP and P(olynomial) complete problems.

There is a wide survey of malware. For viruses, there are qualitative explanations of how viruses can infect code. The level of detail is not that of more specialised books that focus just on viruses. The text does not give you enough to detect or write a virus. But you can understand how they work, at a level adequate for a sysadmin, say. In other words, if you have computers to defend, and you need to choose between various tools for detection, the book gives you enough education to rationally understand the differences between the methods of those tools. At least to the extent that the toolmakers offer such information, and that it is accurate.

For the malware known as phishing, the book does not offer any technical solution. This reflects the current position of much antiphishing thinking. That phishing is social engineering, and no effective technical antidote is known. To which I say, wait a few months. Marvin Shannon and I invented a seminal antiphishing method, and its Patent Pending should soon be published by the US Patent and Trademark Office. I predict that the 5th edition of this book will have a thorough rewrite of antiphishing.

Good book for Security Professionals.......2006-07-10

If you really are looking for theory to be able to have a better consulting experience or drive your company into deeper waters regarding security this is your book. For students starting on this I would not recommend it, you may fall asleep during your first couple of pages.
