Praised by reviewers and practicing TCP/IP programmers alike, the TCP/IP Illustrated series examines the many facets of the TCP/IP protocol suite using a unique and highly-effective visual approach that describes the inner workings of TCP/IP with detail, insight, and clarity. Volume 3 provides detailed coverage of four essential topics with which today's TCP/IP programmers and network administrators must be thoroughly familiar: *T/TCP (TCP for Transactions), an extension to TCP that makes client-server transactions faster, more efficient, and more reliable; *HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the foundation for the rapidly expanding World Wide Web; *NNTP (the Network News Transfer Protocol), the basis for the Usenet news system; and *UNIX Domain Protocols, a set of protocols used heavily in UNIX implementations. As in the previous two volumes, the book is filled with examples and implementation details within the 4.4BSD-Lite networking code. The TCP/IP Illustrated series provides a complete picture of the protocol suite that drives the Internet, and gives programmers, system administrators, and serious users the information, understanding, and skills they need to remain at the forefront of networking technology. 0201634953B04062001

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES FOR HUMANITY is our ninth textbook in a series covering the world of UASs / CUAS / UUVs / Space. In this book, we change our perspective from advanced weapons and intelligence (potentially harmful to humanity) to exploring the use of advanced technologies to benefit society. The authors chose vital technologies that we envision can be used to help humanity survive or turn into less threatening outcomes for society. Chapter One introduces Wargaming and Artificial intelligence. In it, we understand how OODA decision loops can be used for plans and societal decisions. Chapter two addresses Mobility. It is a deep look into the devices that control our daily lives. It presents a holistic view of connectivity and the changes that need to be made. Chapter three discusses the Metaverse and the risks that society is taking. Chapter four brings us back to basics. It teaches how to write in plain language and research important information. It brings a slew of support links to the table. Chapter five shows us the plan and promise of IoT. Everything is connected. Chapter six focuses on advanced robotics and how it is transforming humanity. What autonomous systems will we have to contend with in the future? Chapter seven is a powerful look into the intersection of biotechnology and AI. It is a combination of warning and future possibilities. Chapter eight is crucial to leveraging advanced technologies to enhance food production. Chapter nine presents a systems-dynamic view of humanitarian efforts. It introduces a balanced humanitarian technology security system. Chapter ten is a complex review of quantum computing limits, enhancements, applications, and core principles. It is not for the faint of heart. Chapter eleven asks the question: has social media worn out its welcome? It reveals the laws that protect us and censor us. It is a needed reality check. The ending chapter entitled Feed The Planet is a story to be heard. It envisions organizing hanging gardens in Africa that can produce food for millions of families. It is a beautiful vision that sums up our goals.

The third entry into the New York Times bestselling series, To Challenge Heaven brings another thrilling adventure from the masters of military science fiction, David Weber and Chris Kennedy. In a universe teeming with predators, humanity needs friends. And fast. We've come a long way in the forty years since the Shongairi attacked Earth, killed half its people, and then were driven away by an alliance of humans with the other sentient bipeds who inhabit our planet. We took the technology they left behind, and rapidly built ourselves into a starfaring civilization. Because we haven't got a moment to lose. Because it's clear that there are even more powerful, more hostile aliens out there, and Earth needs allies. But it also transpires that the Shongairi expedition that nearly destroyed our home planet ... wasn't an official one. That, indeed, its commander may have been acting as an unwitting cats-paw for the Founders, the ancient alliance of very old, very evil aliens who run the Hegemony that dominates our galaxy, and who hold the Shongairi, as they hold most non-Founder species, in not-so-benign contempt. Indeed, it may turn out to be possible to turn the Shongairi into our allies against the Hegemony. There's just the small matter of the Shongairi honor code, which makes bushido look like a child's game. We might be able to make them our friends -- if we can crush their planetary defenses in the greatest battle we, or they, have ever seen...
