With SpaceX and Virgin Galactic both significantly expanding their space programs this year, commercial space travel looks set to dominate the headlines for the foreseeable future. As this new space race dawns, start-up companies are readying their engines to head into the cosmos for the sake of privatisation and profit. Journalist Peter Ward investigates how such endeavours could lead not to a new golden age, but a new era of colonialism.

As longevity medicine revolutionizes the lives of many, the quest to take the next step-living as long as we choose - has spurred a scientific arms race. It s empowered a wild-eyed fringe of pseudo-scientists, tech visionaries, scam-artists, and religious fanatics who have given their lives to the pursuit of immortality. Peter Ward explores the current state of the race for immortality and attempts to sort the swindlers from the scientists, while also analysing the potentially devastating consequences should humanity realize its ultimate dream.

Cyber space is easily the most complex thing humans have ever created. With billions of people and devices all connected together, vulnerability and compromise are inevitable. The complexity continues to grow, and with it comes the emergent insecurity brought by an ever-developing frontier where digital devices and connected people meet.Security challenges present themselves increasingly often and with ever-greater impacts. This is not going to change anytime soon. Although the internet has transformed communication, business, and social life for the better, the construct of cyber space is incredibly fragile and presents endless risk.Connecting every corner of our lives to those of billions across the world, the frontier is slender between the good and the bad, benefit and catastrophe, real and fake, security and insecurity. Cyber security advice can be confusing, contradictory, and sometimes utterly detached from reality. Too easily, people feel guilty for not knowing what to do, or failing to live up to expectations.People, particularly business leaders and policy makers, must daily make security-sensitive decisions, sometimes unknowingly, without being security experts. Securing the Digital Frontier doesn t offer easy answers, but instead explains sixteen dimensions of this dynamic problem and its current partial solutions. The strong technology of encryption has become commonplace, and is a huge benefit if deployed well: but how can you tell? Programming errors give rise to security problems, but why can we not eliminate them? Privacy is tied up with security, but can the two work against each other? Cyber space is international: how can domestic laws protect us? And what happens when those laws come into conflict with technologies like encryption? Why do you need a punctuation symbol and a capital letter in your password, anyway? Through a grasp of the big picture, through technical and human perspectives, we can begin to explore ways to unwind some of the complexity and find ways to contain the risk.

Kniha je nejen životopisem naší planety jako vesmírného tělesa, ale i portrétem vzniku a vývoje života. Navíc přináší sugestivní pohled do vzdálené budoucnosti Země, založený na analýzách mladého vědního oboru zvaného astrobiologie. Geolog a zoolog Peter Ward a astronom Donald Brownlee jedni ze zakladatelů této vědy zde kombinují vypravěčské schopnosti s nesmírnou vědeckou pečlivostí. Výsledkem je vyprávění stejně poutavé jako díla science fiction, od nichž se však odlišuje věrohodností svých závěrů a předpovědí. Popis různých alternativ budoucnosti naší planety nás donutí k zamyšlení, občas při něm i zamrazí v zádech. Ačkoli některým možným scénářům nemůžeme zabránit, dobrou zprávou je, že jiným ano.

The catch: this version of Serene, aged not a day, has enjoyed a childless life.Clara, a celebrity author in desperate need of validation, believes Serene is their mother, while Dempsey, isolated and content to remain so, believes she is a con woman.

Here he describes important developments in theatre from the last century, as well as smaller scale events, from productions by Stanislavsky to the rise of Method Acting, from Brecht s revolutionary alienation technique to the free form Happenings of the 1960s, and from the different styles of such great Shakespearean actors as John Gielgud and Paul Scofield to a joyous impromptu performance in the burnt-out shell of the Hamburg Opera just after the war. Passionate, unconventional and fascinating, his book shows how theatre defies rules, builds and shatters illusions and creates lasting memories for its audiences.Peter Stephen Paul Brook CH CBE (b. 1925) is a highly influential British theatrical producer and director. During the 1950s he worked on many productions in Britain, Europe, and the USA, and in 1962 returned to Stratford-upon-Avon to join the newly established Royal Shakespeare Company.

THE TIMES BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2023A BOOK OF THE YEAR PICK FOR THE TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES, BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE, GUARDIAN, INDEPENDENT AND FINANCIAL TIMESA BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK | AN INSTANT #2 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Humanity has transformed the Earth: Frankopan transforms our understanding of history Financial Times Vast, learned and timely work Sunday Times------From the international bestselling author of The Silk Roads comes a major history of how a changing climate has dramatically shaped the development-and demise-of civilisations across time.When we think about history, we rarely pay much attention to the most destructive floods, the worst winters, the most devastating droughts or the ways that ecosystems have changed over time.In The Earth Transformed, Peter Frankopan, one of the world s leading historians, shows that the natural environment is a crucial, if not the defining, factor in global history - and not just of humankind. Volcanic eruptions, solar activities, atmospheric, oceanic and other shifts, as well as anthropogenic behaviour, are fundamental parts of the past and the present. In this magnificent and groundbreaking book, we learn about the origins of our species: about the development of religion and language and their relationships with the environment; about how the desire to centralise agricultural surplus formed the origins of the bureaucratic state; about how growing demands for harvests resulted in the increased shipment of enslaved peoples; about how efforts to understand and manipulate the weather have a long and deep history. All provide lessons of profound importance as we face a precarious future of rapid global warming.Taking us from the Big Bang to the present day and beyond, The Earth Transformed forces us to reckon with humankind s continuing efforts to make sense of the natural world.----- This is epic, gripping, original history that leaps off the page Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland All Historians aiming to tell a narrative face the problem of when exactly to start it.

Popular music of the 80s decade had its own unique sound. Shaped by breathtaking developments in studio recording equipment and techniques, from digital processing to sampling, the music that is still enjoyed today would not be the same without it. This book tells the story of how one such young engineer/producer navigated his way through this exciting and pivotal period in music history by working with this technology within the confines of the last great era of recording studios, from 1978 to 1988. This was all before musicians and producers retired to their bedrooms with a laptop. Using diaries recorded at the time, Peter Woolliscroft lifts the curtain on the private world of the closed session, with daily accounts of all projects worked on, how they were made, who made them and most importantly how they became hits. It tells of the highs and lows, the expectations and disappointments of recording many of the top acts of the day while navigating the various technical challenges along the way. Along the way, he worked with such names as: Yes, Soft Cell, Cat Stevens, Thin Lizzy, New Order, Buzzcocks, Psychedelic Furs, 10cc, John Cooper Clarke, Frank Zappa, Kate Bush, The Who, Queen, Peter Gabriel, Elton John, Squeeze, Tina Turner, Sam Fox, Talk Talk and Def Leppard. He also worked with producers Trevor Horn, Tony Visconti, Jeff Wayne, Martin Hannett, Robert John Mutt Lange, Frank Zappa and Gus Dudgeon.
