Mastering AI
An urgent book on generative artificial intelligence exploring the risk and benefits looming in this seminal moment'Easily the best exploration to date on the perils and promise of AI.” —ASHLEE VANCE author of When the Heavens Went on Sale'Mastering AI is a must-read. It’s hard to put down'. —BETHANY McLEAN, coauthor of The Smartest Guys in the Room and The Big Fail'A timely and urgent exploration of AI’s dizzying acceleration' —BRAD STONE, author of The Everything StoreThe debut of ChatGPT on November 30th was a watershed moment in the history of technology. We stand on the threshold of a new age — one where content of all kinds, even software itself, will be conjured, seemingly from thin air, with simple conversation.In a culture fraught with misinformation, Mastering AI pierces through the thicket of exaggerated claims, explaining how we arrived at this moment and mapping the likely long-term impacts on business, economics, culture and society this potent technology will have.This book will serve as a guide to those dangers — as well as highlighting the technology’s transformative potential — and will pinpoint concrete steps that should be taken to regulate generative AI.

Programming GPS and OpenStreetMap Applications with Java
Written by an expert in the development of GPS systems with digital maps and navigation, Programming GPS and OpenStreetMap Applications with Java: The RealObject Application Framework provides a concrete paradigm for object-oriented modeling and programming. It presents a thorough introduction to the use of available global positioning data for the development of applications involving digital maps. The author first describes the different formats of GPS data and digital maps and shows how to use recorded GPS traces to replay and display this data on a digital map. Then, he works through in detail the processing steps of obtaining dedicated data from OpenStreetMaps and how to extract a network for a simple navigation application. For each topic covered—GPS data, OpenStreetMaps, and navigation—Java code is developed that can easily be adapted to the readers’ needs and locality.Finally, all components are put together in a sample computer-game application modeled on the well-known board game, Scotland Yard. The computer game is intended to be a basis from which readers can develop and customize their own application for their desired geographical area. The developed application can be "published" on the Internet and made available for interactive multiplayer competition.This book provides a fun and interesting way to learn distributed programming with Java and real-world data. Open-source software is available on a companion website at www.roaf.de

Mastering Biblical Hebrew
Mastering Biblical Hebrew is a Hebrew grammar textbook that adopts modern second language acquisition (SLA) methods, emphasizing interactive pedagogies like listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing for the integration and acquisition of Biblical Hebrew.Traditionally, Hebrew grammars relied on deductive and grammar-translation approaches, but today's students prefer dynamic and engaging classroom experiences. This textbook is tailored for teachers who wish to use a blended approach, incorporating oral, aural, tactile, written, performative, and reading exercises, as well as grammar and syntax activities.Designed for both undergraduate and graduate students alike, this grammar is intended for two semesters. The primary objective of Mastering Biblical Hebrew is to equip students with reading competency in the Hebrew Bible at the intermediate level. Secondary objectives include proficiency in listening comprehension, writing, and speaking, which are honed through functional activities done both in the classroom and outside. To facilitate learning, new grammatical features are introduced in each chapter and revisited throughout the course. Students are encouraged to understand that mastering all grammatical details takes time and repetition.The grammar is accompanied by charts, paradigms, audio files, vocabulary lists, study guides, teaching tools, and an answer key for assignments. Additionally, an Instructor Guide is available, providing detailed classroom activity suggestions that can be modified to suit individual class needs.

Mastering Cybersecurity
Mastering Cybersecurity: A Practical Guide to Cyber Tools and Techniques (Volume 2) offers a hands-on, real-world approach to developing modern cybersecurity skills. This volume builds on foundational concepts to provide readers with practical techniques and toolsets that are essential in today’s evolving threat landscape. Each chapter dives into a critical area of cybersecurity, emphasizing applied learning through real-world scenarios, case studies, and step-by-step exercises.This book begins with an in-depth focus on network security, guiding readers through capturing and analyzing traffic using command-line tools and understanding how attackers exploit unencrypted protocols. It then progresses to more complex attack vectors such as man-in-the-middle attacks, DNS spoofing, and email threats, reinforcing defensive strategies using tools like Wireshark and Tcpdump. The exploration of open-source intelligence (OSINT) offers a comprehensive look at harvesting digital footprints from publicly accessible data, applying techniques and tools such as Shodan, Google Dorking, and reverse image searches for real investigations. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, this book dedicates several chapters to the Internet of Things (IoT), uncovering its vulnerabilities and showcasing threat surface attack assessments through real device testing and threat mapping frameworks. Readers learn to analyze device security and apply countermeasures such as secure boot, blockchain integration, and anomaly detection.The volume also delves into the dark web, shedding light on anonymous networks like TOR and I2P and equipping readers with methods to investigate hidden services safely. It explains how to extract intelligence using automation, analyze illicit activity, and integrate findings into broader cybersecurity frameworks. Culminating with advanced cyber threat intelligence (CTI), this book examines intelligence cycles, tools, and platforms, enabling readers to move from theory to practice. From indicator of compromise analysis and threat actor profiling to automation and incident response, readers gain the skills to leverage CTI for strategic defense.Designed for cybersecurity students, professionals, and enthusiasts, this book offers a balanced blend of technical depth, ethical awareness, and actionable guidance. By the end, readers will not only understand key cybersecurity domains but also be prepared to apply their knowledge in practical, high-stakes environments, making them valuable assets in the fight against cyber threats.

Scientific Data Analysis using Jython Scripting and Java
Scientific Data Analysis using Jython Scripting and Java presents practical approaches for data analysis using Java scripting based on Jython, a Java implementation of the Python language. The chapters essentially cover all aspects of data analysis, from arrays and histograms to clustering analysis, curve fitting, metadata and neural networks. A comprehensive coverage of data visualisation tools implemented in Java is also included.Written by the primary developer of the jHepWork data-analysis framework, the book provides a reliable and complete reference source laying the foundation for data-analysis applications using Java scripting. More than 250 code snippets (of around 10-20 lines each) written in Jython and Java, plus several real-life examples help the reader develop a genuine feeling for data analysis techniques and their programming implementation. This is the first data-analysis and data-mining book which is completely based on the Jython language, and opens doors to scripting using a fully multi-platform and multi-threaded approach. Graduate students and researchers will benefit from the information presented in this book.
