Ghost In The Wires - Kevin Mitnick, William Simon
Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information.

Ghost in the Shell (3D BLU-RAY)
Vychutnejte si jedinečný zážitek ve 3D v pohodlí domova s filmem Ghost in the Shell. 3D verze filmu Ghost in the Shell neobsahuje český dabing. Major (Scarlett Johansson) je velitelkou Sekce 9, speciální policejní jednotky, která bojuje proti těm nejhorším kyberzločinům. Koneckonců i hrdinka filmu je hi-tech produktem, dokonale vyváženou kombinací robota a člověka. S lidským mozkem a vyspělou robotickou schránkou se Major snaží dopadnout zločince, jehož cílem je zničení společnosti Hanka Robotics, lídra ve vývoji umělé inteligence. Major se však nepotýká pouze se zlem, ale také s vlastními pochybnostmi, když ji začíná zrazovat jediná nedokonalá část jejího jinak dokonalého těla – mozek. Čím dál častěji se jí v hlavě vynořují nesrozumitelné vjemy, které se zpočátku snaží potlačovat, ale posléze podněcují její zvědavost a přirozenou touhu přicházet záhadám na kloub. Tyto vjemy by mohly být otisky její předchozí existence, mohly by být klíčem ke vzpomínkám na její lidské Já, mohly by být klíčem k otevření její osobní Pandořiny skříňky, po němž se už na svět nebude dívat stejnýma očima. Protože všechno je jinak.

The Ghost In The Garden - Jude Piesse
The forgotten garden that inspired Charles Darwin becomes the modern-day setting for an exploration of memory, family, and the legacy of genius. Darwin’s childhood garden at The Mount in Shrewsbury was the site of some of the great scientist’s earliest experiments. It was where, under the tutelage of his green-fingered mother and sisters, and the house’s knowledgeable gardeners, he first examined the reproductive life of flowers, collected birds’ eggs, and began to note down the ideas that would lead to his groundbreaking theory of evolution. In The Ghost in the Garden, Jude Piesse uncovers the lost histories that inspired Darwin’s work and how his legacy, and the legacies of those around him, live on today.

Tanks in the Easter Offensive 1972 - William E. Hiestand
This study explains how the armies of North and South Vietnam, newly equipped with the most modern Soviet and US tanks and weaponry, fought the decisive armored battles of the Easter Offensive.Wearied by years of fighting against Viet Cong guerillas and North Vietnamese regulars, the United States had almost completely withdrawn its forces from Vietnam by early 1972. Determined to halt the expansion and improvement of South Vietnamese forces under the U.S. “Vietnamization†program, North Vietnam launched a major fourteen-division attack in March 1972 against the South that became known as the “Easter Offensive.†Hanoi’s assault was spearheaded by 1,200 tanks and was counteracted on the opposite side by Saigon’s newly equipped armored force using U.S. medium tanks. The result was ferocious fighting between major Cold War-era U.S. and Soviet tanks and mechanized equipment, pitting M-48 medium and M-41 light tanks against their T- 54 and PT-76 rivals in a variety of combat environments ranging from dense jungle to urban terrain. Both sides employed cutting-edge weaponry for the first time, including the U.S. TOW and Soviet 9M14 Malyutk wire-guided anti-tank missiles.This volume examines the tanks, armored forces and weapons that clashed in this little-known campaign in detail, using after-action reports ...

Martin, Sr. was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease, better known as ALS, in August 2019. He died only a month later. Over a thousand people would attend the wake and funeral in South Boston—after all, Kevin Sr. was a leader in the Southie community and in the Catholic Church, both as a business owner and family man.

The Social Paradox - William von Hippel
From the author of The Social Leap comes this thought-provoking exploration into humans’ two core evolutionary needs, for connection and autonomy, how the modern world has thrown them out of whack, and how we can rebalance them to improve our lives. Why do people who have so much—leading comfortable lives filled with unprecedented freedom, choice, and abundance—often feel so unhappy and unfulfilled? This phenomenon is a defining paradox of our time and one we endlessly seek to solve. In The Social Paradox, psychologist William von Hippel argues that we need to think about this problem in a new way. By changing our perspective, we might finally see the solution, bringing us greater happiness and more satisfying relationships.The key is to understand the interplay between our two most basic psychological needs—for connection and autonomy. Evolution made us dependent on one another for survival, instilling in us a strong need to connect. It also made us seek autonomy, so our ancestors could distinguish themselves within their groups, improving their chances to procreate and gain status.These two opposing needs are our most fundamental psychological drivers, and while our lives once ensured a happy balance between them, the opportunities of today’s world have thrown ...

Three Revolutions - Hall Simon
''A colourful and enjoyable written account.'' THE TIMES''A salve for our current reactionary times.'' ANDREW HARTMANThe gripping, untold story of how six epic journeys launched the three communist revolutions that changed world history forever.From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Mao’s stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel’s triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions. In Three Revolutions, the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenin''s 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Mao''s ''Long March'' of 1934–35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castro''s return to Cuba in 1956 following his exile in Mexico. Told in tandem with these are the corresponding journeys of three extraordinary journalists – John Reed, Edgar Snow and Herbert L. Matthews – whose electric testimony from the frontlines of each revolution would make a decisive contribution to how these revolutions were understood in the wider world. Here, in Simon Hall''s masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought vividly to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Lucifer's Power - William Sims Bainbridge
Founded in London in 1963 by Mary Ann MacLean and Robert de Grimston, The Process Church of the Final Judgement emerged from a scientology-inspired psychotherapy group and quickly became a cultural phenomenon before its dramatic split in 1974. What did The Process truly believe? Their secretive nature kept many in the dark, but sociologist William Sims Bainbridge gained unprecedented access to this elusive group. As a young researcher in the late sixties, Bainbridge earned the trust of the Processians in Boston, becoming the only non-member to witness their rituals and practices firsthand. His rare and sought-after book, Satan''s Power: A Deviant Psychotherapy Cult (1978), first unveiled his groundbreaking findings. Now, fifty years after the cult''s decline, Bainbridge revisits and expands upon his seminal work in Lucifer''s Power. This updated edition uncovers the motivations of The Process''s members, reveals their intricate beliefs and rituals, and explores the cult''s enduring legacy and influence. Packed with new material and never-before-seen historical photographs taken by Bainbridge during the height of The Process''s popularity, this book provides a comprehensive and compelling look into the world of The Process Church of the Final Judgement.

The Heart of Everything - Marc Levy
Even death can’t break the bond between father and son in an uncannily funny and poignant novel about love, loss, memory, and family by Marc Levy, the bestselling author of P.S. from Paris. There’s nothing too unusual about a father asking his son for a favor—unless, of course, the father in question has been dead for five years. Thomas, a young virtuoso pianist living a quiet, carefully structured life in France, is stunned when his late father, Raymond, suddenly appears in his home. He’s not a ghost in the traditional sense—he’s real enough to ask for help. His request? That Thomas travel with him to San Francisco to find Camille, the long-lost love of his life. For Thomas, it’s as surreal as it sounds. And yet…it might be his last-in-a-lifetime chance to know his father as a man and to square the regrets of the past. Together they embark on a five-thousand-mile journey that questions the very nature of existence, proves that love never fades, and rekindles the curious, heart-tugging bond between a parent and child that somehow endures beyond death.
