| cracking sin secretos: Criptografía sin secretos con Python David Arboledas Brihuega, La criptografía se ha definido tradicionalmente como el arte o la ciencia que se ocupa de alterar los textos escritos con el fin de hacerlos ininteligibles a receptores no autorizados. El único objetivo de la criptografía es conseguir la confidencialidad de los mensajes. La historia de la criptografía es larga y abunda en anécdotas. El libro recorre los hitos criptográficos más importantes desde el Antiguo Egipto hasta la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tras la conclusión de esta, el rápido desarrollo teórico y los avances en computación supusieron una amenaza para los sistemas clásicos de cifrado. A mediados de los años 70, se empezó a gestar lo que sería la última revolución de la criptografía: los sistemas asimétricos. Esta obra, sin embargo, no se centra ni en la historia, ni en la teoría de la criptografía, sino en cómo programar los ordenadores para imitar el funcionamiento de las cifras clásicas y cómo pueden romperse. Dirigida a principiantes que nunca han programado, te mostrará las técnicas básicas de programación a través de la criptografía mediante el uso de Python, un lenguaje interpretado ideal para programadores por su facilidad y potencia. Podrás participar en el reto de resolver un algoritmo de cifrado diseñado específicamente para los lectores de la obra y así conseguir 1 año de suscripción gratuita a toda la colección digital de Ra-Ma. |

Reeling from a sudden breakup, she’s taken on an unsuitable new lover and finds herself rummaging through a secondhand shop to buy him a birthday gift. A dusty, anonymous old painting catches her eye. After spending her meager savings on the artwork, Annie prepares an exquisite birthday dinner for two—only to be stood up. The painting becomes hers, and Annie begins to suspect that it may be more valuable than she’d thought. Soon she finds herself pursued by parties who would do anything to possess her picture: an exiled Russian oligarch, an avaricious sheikha, an unscrupulous art dealer.

| cracking sin secretos: Ball Lightning Cixin Liu, 2018-08-14 From the New York Times bestselling author of the Three-Body Trilogy, Cixin Liu's Ball Lightning is the story of what happens when the beauty of scientific inquiry runs up against the drive to harness new discoveries with no consideration of their possible consequences. When Chen’s parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of this mysterious natural phenomenon. His search takes him to stormy mountaintops, an experimental military weapons lab, and an old Soviet science station. The more he learns, the more he comes to realize that ball lightning is just the tip of an entirely new frontier. While Chen’s quest for answers gives purpose to his lonely life, it also pits him against soldiers and scientists with motives of their own: a beautiful army major with an obsession with dangerous weaponry, and a physicist who has no place for ethical considerations in his single-minded pursuit of knowledge.

| cracking sin secretos: Finding Kyler Siobhan Davis, 2017-01-02 Two fractured hearts and a forbidden love they can't deny. You shouldn't want what you can't have... Faye Donovan has lost everything. After her parent's tragic death, she's whisked away from her home in Ireland when an unknown uncle surfaces as her new guardian. Dropped smack-dab into the All-American dream, Faye should feel grateful. Except living with her wealthy uncle, his fashion-empire-owning wife, and their seven screwed-up sons is quickly turning into a nightmare-especially when certain inappropriate feelings arise. Kyler Kennedy makes her head hurt and her heart race, but he's her cousin. He's off limits. And he's not exactly welcoming-Kyler is ignorant, moody, and downright cruel at times-but Faye sees behind the mask he wears, recognizing a kindred spirit. Kyler has sworn off girls, yet Faye gets under his skin. The more he pushes her away, the more he's drawn to her, but acting on those feelings risks a crap-ton of prejudice, and any whiff of scandal could damage the precious Kennedy brand. Concealing their feelings seems like the only choice. But when everyone has something to hide, a secret is a very dangerous thing. Being a fan of the Royals series and the Fallen Crest series this book had everything I love - drama, mystery, betrayal, love, friendship, and the bond of family. Emma. Goodreads Reviewer. NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Only suitable for readers aged seventeen and older due to mature content and language. Please note this book contains a forbidden love theme featuring first cousins and a cliff hanger. It is not a standalone read. |

| cracking sin secretos: Unfinished Business Vivian Gornick, 2020-02-04 A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. One of Library Journal's Best Books of 2020. One of our most beloved writers reassess the electrifying works of literature that have shaped her life I sometimes think I was born reading . . . I can’t remember the time when I didn’t have a book in my hands, my head lost to the world around me. Unfinished Business: Notes of a Chronic Re-reader is Vivian Gornick’s celebration of passionate reading, of returning again and again to the books that have shaped her at crucial points in her life. In nine essays that traverse literary criticism, memoir, and biography, one of our most celebrated critics writes about the importance of reading—and re-reading—as life progresses. Gornick finds herself in contradictory characters within D. H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers, assesses womanhood in Colette’s The Vagabond and The Shackle, and considers the veracity of memory in Marguerite Duras’s The Lover. She revisits Great War novels by J. L. Carr and Pat Barker, uncovers the psychological complexity of Elizabeth Bowen’s prose, and soaks in Natalia Ginzburg, “a writer whose work has often made me love life more.” After adopting two cats, whose erratic behavior she finds vexing, she discovers Doris Lessing’s Particularly Cats. Guided by Gornick’s trademark verve and insight, Unfinished Business is a masterful appreciation of literature’s power to illuminate our lives from a peerless writer and thinker who “still read[s] to feel the power of Life with a capital L.” |

Using these three themes this volume offers a comprehensive critical review of the facts that have been the reality of Amazonia and fills a gap in the literature.The book will appeal to scholars, professors and practitioners. An outstanding group of experienced researchers and individuals with detailed knowledge of the proposed themes have produced chapters on an array of inter-related issues to demonstrate the current situation and future prospects of Amazonia. Issues investigated and debated include: territorial management; indigenous territoriality and land demarcation; ethnodevelopment; indigenous higher education and capacity building; natural resource appropriation; food security and traditional knowledge; megadevelopmental projects; indigenous acculturation; modernization of Amazonia and its regional integration; anthropogenic interventions; protected areas and conservation; political ecology; postcolonial issues, and the sustainability of Amazonia. |
