In an era of ubiquitous clouds, virtualisation, mobility, and the Internet of Things, information and resources must be accessible anytime, from anywhere. Connectivity to devices and workloads must be seamless even when people move: location must be fully independent of device identity. The LISP protocol makes all this possible. LISP is address-family agnostic, so it can encapsulate any protocol within another, and route across virtually any network. LISP applications include very-large-scale virtualisation for WANs and multi-tenant data centers; host mobility and location services across data centres; advanced mobile networks; ad-hoc networks; IPv6 enablement, seamless site multi-homing; workload mobility; cellular mobility; multicast and traffic engineering, and more. The LISP Network is the first comprehensive, in-depth guide to LISP concepts, architecture, techniques, and applications. Co-authored by LISP co-creator Dino Farinacci and two pioneering developers of Cisco s LISP implementation, this guide will help you plan and implement LISP in any data center, WAN edge, or service provider core network. Largely implementation-agnostic, this book offers actionable answers to questions such as: What problems does LISP address, and how does it address them? How does LISP work? What are LISP s applications, and how do you architect LISP solutions for each application? How does LISP fit with SDN, IoT, and IPv6? What is LISP s future? The LISP Network concludes with detailed deployment case studies of several LISP applications, each drawn from the authors pioneering experience.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

Horrified by the discovery that Moreau is performing vivisection on animals to form monstrous human hybrids, Prendick flees into the jungle. But he soon realises that the island is populated with Moreau s terrible creations, and not all are divested of their savage habits . . .H. G. Wells pioneered ideas of society, science and progress in his works, which are now considered modern classics. Written in 1896, The Island of Doctor Moreau is an imaginative exploration of the nature of cruelty and what it means to be human.

The international bestselling record of a German Jew in Nazi Germany. Deserves to stand beside the diary of Anne Frank as a day-to-day description of the sufferings of the victims of Hitler s evil regime EVENING STANDARD Few English readers will fail to be moved as I was - ultimately to the point of tears SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Packed with vivid observation, profound reflection ... they find hope, dignity and even tart humour in the jaws of hell INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAYA sensation when first published, this is one of the most extraordinary documents of the Nazi period. The son of a rabbi, Klemperer was by 1933 a professor of languages in Dresden. Over the next decade he lost his job, his house and many of his friends, even his cat, as Jews were not allowed to own pets. Saved for much of the war from the Holocaust by his marriage to a gentile, he was able to escape in the aftermath of the Allied bombing of Dresden and survived the remaining months of the war in hiding. Throughout, Klemperer kept a diary, for a Jew in Nazi Germany a daring act in itself. This volume covers the period from the beginnings of the Holocaust to the end of the war, telling the story of Klemperer s increasing isolation, his near miraculous survival, his awareness of the development of the growing Holocaust as friends and associates disappeared, and his narrow escapes from deportation and the Dresden firebombing in 1945.Shocking and moving by turns, it is a remarkable and important document, as powerful and astonishing in its way as Anne Frank s classic.

If it has been done, you can do it. But if it hasn t been done, you should. It was these words from Victoria Alonso s mother that imbued in her the power of possibility. First as a young person in Argentina living through a dictatorship, then as a nineteen-year-old alone in America, saying yes to possibility again and again laid the path for Victoria to become who she is today: one of the most powerful Latinas in Hollywood and a top executive at Marvel Studios - the biggest and most successful studio in the world. Having spent the last fifteen-plus years bringing relatable superheroes to screen, often being the lone woman in the rooms where big decisions are made, Victoria has a simple secret to share: You don t need a cape, you don t need a hammer, you don t need a shield. Your superpower is your voice, and your voice will create change for yourself, for society, and for those who you love. In Possibility Is Your Superpower, Victoria takes you on a deep dive into her years climbing the Hollywood ladder - its hurdles, highlights, and meaningful lessons-in hopes that her path will inspire you to find your own voice, to speak up when you finally have a seat at the table, and to never lose sight of who you are along the way. With vivacious wisdom, she illustrates how your favorite superheroes are just like us - how their struggles and obstacles are not so different from our own. That, in fact, we are just as strong as they are, because their power, and our own, ultimately springs from our character, will, resolve, and ability to embrace new ideas, relationships, and circumstances.

We are in the midst of a worldwide golden age of park creation, and featured here are powerfully telling examples at the forefront of this renaissance. Parks are essential to our well-being; this has never been clearer than it is today, and a recent surge of park development offers us much to celebrate. Parks of the 21st Century presents 52 parks in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Europe, and China that have turned despoiled and polluted land (including former factories, railroads, and industrial waterfronts) into beneficial landscapes. Landscape architects have been referred to as “the first environmentalists,” and Parks of the 21st Century shows how parks are being designed as proactive, dynamic green spaces. The High Line in New York is an early example of how an obsolete railroad could be transformed. Opened in 2009, it now attracts nearly 8 million visitors a year. In addition to providing public open space, these renewed landscapes offer economic revitalization and large-scale environmental improvement. Among the parks featured in this book are designs by well-known professionals such as James Corner Field Operations, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Kongjian Yu/Turenscape, and Catherine Mosbach.

The story of the Titanic has been told countless times, but very few books talk in detail about the numerous expeditions that have visited the wreck; even less will talk about the personal stories associated with these underwater trips. Now, for the first time, details are given of some of the less well-known deep diving expeditions to the worldâ ™s most famous shipwreck, focusing on the people who lead them, the equipment being used and the background stories of the research vessels that have carried these teams out to the cold, dark Atlantic swells. From the failed expeditions in the early 1980s to the tragic loss of a submersible four decades later, this is the story of the searches and the dives to the wreck of a ship which has become synonymous with disaster. Using interviews with people who were there at different times, we rediscover a shipwreck that has captivated the imagination of people from around the world to the point where they are willing to risk their lives just to have a glimpse. But it is this glimpse of the Titanic that has cost so much money and affected so many lives.

A brilliant concept, executed with enviable elegance Lucy Worsley A gem of a book. Thanks to Daisy Dunn s elegant and lively retelling of history, the women of the ancient world are restored to the centre of the story of classical antiquity. It was a joy to read Peter FrankopanLonglisted for The Anglo-Hellenic League Runciman Award 2025Spanning 3,000 years, from the birth of Minoan Crete to the death of the Julio-Claudian dynasty in Rome, a magisterial new history of the ancient world told, for the very first time, through women. For centuries, men have been writing histories of antiquity filled with warlords, emperors and kings. But when it comes to incorporating women aside from Cleopatra and Boudica, writers have been more comfortable describing mythical heroines than real ones. While Penelope and Helen of Troy live on in the imagination, their real-life counterparts have been relegated to the margins. In The Missing Thread, Daisy Dunn inverts this tradition and puts the women of history at the centre of the narrative.These pages present Enheduanna, the earliest named author, the poet Sappho and Telesilla, who defended her city from attack. Here is Artemisia, sole female commander in the Graeco-Persian Wars, and Cynisca, the first female victor at the Olympic Games. Cleopatra may be the more famous, but Fulvia, Mark Antony s wife, fought a war on his behalf. Many other women remain nameless but integral. Through new examination of the sources combined with vivid storytelling Daisy Dunn shows us the ancient world through fresh eyes, and introduces us to an incredible cast of ancient women, weavers of an entire world.
