| nate the great read online: The Internet Police: How Crime Went Online, and the Cops Followed Nate Anderson, 2013-08-19 Chaos and order clash in this riveting exploration of crime and punishment on the Internet. Once considered a borderless and chaotic virtual landscape, the Internet is now home to the forces of international law and order. It’s not just computer hackers and cyber crooks who lurk in the dark corners of the Web—the cops are there, too. In The Internet Police, Ars Technica deputy editor Nate Anderson takes readers on a behind-the-screens tour of landmark cybercrime cases, revealing how criminals continue to find digital and legal loopholes even as police hurry to cinch them closed. From the Cleveland man whose natural male enhancement pill inadvertently protected the privacy of your e-mail to the Russian spam king who ended up in a Milwaukee jail to the Australian arrest that ultimately led to the breakup of the largest child pornography ring in the United States, Anderson draws on interviews, court documents, and law-enforcement reports to reconstruct accounts of how online policing actually works. Questions of online crime are as complex and interconnected as the Internet itself. With each episode in The Internet Police, Anderson shows the dark side of online spaces—but also how dystopian a fully ordered alternative would be. Includes an afterword that details law enforcement's dramatic seizure of the online black market Silk Road. |
| nate the great read online: What We Talk About When We Talk About Books Leah Price, 2019-08-20 Reports of the death of reading are greatly exaggerated Do you worry that you've lost patience for anything longer than a tweet? If so, you're not alone. Digital-age pundits warn that as our appetite for books dwindles, so too do the virtues in which printed, bound objects once trained us: the willpower to focus on a sustained argument, the curiosity to look beyond the day's news, the willingness to be alone. The shelves of the world's great libraries, though, tell a more complicated story. Examining the wear and tear on the books that they contain, English professor Leah Price finds scant evidence that a golden age of reading ever existed. From the dawn of mass literacy to the invention of the paperback, most readers already skimmed and multitasked. Print-era doctors even forbade the very same silent absorption now recommended as a cure for electronic addictions. The evidence that books are dying proves even scarcer. In encounters with librarians, booksellers and activists who are reinventing old ways of reading, Price offers fresh hope to bibliophiles and literature lovers alike.

We’re facing financial crisis, massive lay-offs, soaring medical bills, and worse... impending toddlerhood. Life can be so uncool. Good thing I’m armed.” ABOUT CATCHLIGHT Finding humor, hope, and strength to endure just about anything may not seem as difficult after reading Catchlight, a memoir that has already inspired thousands. Open the pages to step inside the unique mind of an eternal optimist, and experience how one thinks, processes, and responds to stress. Genevieve Ruth’s conversational prose feels welcoming, like an old friend, and is infused with just enough self-deprecation to keep things light as she shares intimate details about her past, the very real, very scary present, and how she is able to remain positive and keep her sanity, while fighting to stay strong for those who are unable to. Catchlight offers comfort, guidance, a few laughs, a perspective-shift to a more positive outlook, unobstructed insight into the organ transplantation process, and a story that others can draw strength from when confronted by their own unimaginable circumstances. ABOUT THE COVER ART It is one of several heart-works created by the subject of this book, years before knowing he would need a transplant. It features an older male and female, connected by a purple heart with a gold center. It is a beautiful and symbolic image to honor and illustrate the story of both donor and recipient. PHILANTHROPY A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book benefit non-profit organ-donation advocacy programs and transplant-related research. Thank you for your support! |

It’s difficult not to snap when you’re overworked, overtired, and faced with a child experiencing extremely high emotions. That’s where this book comes in. Wherever you are in your parenting journey, there are ways to improve, connect, and find calm in the chaos. Instead of repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed or uncertain of what to do next, today can be the day you let go of the guilt and shame around feeling like a “bad” parent or telling your child they’re being a “bad kid.” Break Free from Reactive Parenting offers up a new approach toward self-regulation and child expression, focusing on the family as a whole to create a calmer, more equitable home environment. From addressing the issues that cause and result from being reactive to implementing a more effective parenting approach, this book serves as your support system as you seek to bring meaningful change into your home. Within these pages you’ll find helpful advice and tools including: Creating healthy morning and nighttime routines Dealing with anger and power struggles (yours and your child’s) Moving from mind-full to mindful Self-regulating for kids and adults Setting family goals and creating day-to-day balance And so much more! |
