"This book is a timely and important tool for the empowerment of communities facing housing deficits. The Red Feather project is extremely important; it is truly making a difference."—Jane Goodall For more than a decade the Red Feather Development Group, a volunteer-based organization, has built and repaired straw bale houses for Native Americans. Somewhere along the way—and this was certainly not the plan—they created an architectural phenomenon: This inexpensive, environmentally sound, easily constructed, and downright beautiful form of building has, for good reason, caught the public's imagination. Here, Red Feather provides a step-by-step, easy-to-follow manual for would-be strawbale builders—indeed, they supply everything you'll need but time, energy, and lots and lots of straw. Informative sections on safety, design, tools, and materials, and case studies picked from over thirty-five Red Feather projects give a comprehensive overview to straw-bale building. But this book is much more than a construction manual. It is also the inspiring story of Red Feather itself, a tale of community action and cooperation that suggests a can-do solution to the growing housing crisis on America's Native American reservations.

More than a million systems are now connected to the Internet, and something like 15 million people in 100 countries on all seven continents use Internet services. More than 100 million email messages are exchanged each day, along with countless files, documents, and audio and video images. Everyone is jumping on the Internet bandwagon. Once a haven for academicians and scientists, the Net is now reaching large and small businesses, government at all levels, school children, and senior citizens. The commercial world is rushing headlong into doing business on the Internet, barely pausing while technologies and policies catch up with their desire to go online. But, too few of the seekers after Internet wisdom and riches consider whether their businesses will be safe on the Net. What kinds of security risks are posed by the Internet? Some risks have been around since the early days of networking -- password attacks (guessing them or cracking them via password dictionaries and cracking programs), denial of service, and exploiting known security holes. Some risks are newer and even more dangerous -- packet sniffers, IP (Internet Protocol) forgery, and various types of hijacking attacks. Firewalls are a very effective way to protect your system from these Internet security threats. Firewalls in computer networks keep damage on one part of the network (e.g., eavesdropping, a worm program, file damage) from spreading to the rest of the network. Without firewalls, network security problems can rage out of control, dragging more and more systems down. What is a firewall? It's a hardware and/or software solution that restricts access from your internal network to the Internet -- and vice versa. A firewall may also be used to separate two or more parts of your local network (for example, protecting finance from R&D). The firewall is installed at the perimeter of the network, ordinarily where it connects to the Internet. You can think of a firewall as a checkpoint; all traffic, incoming and outgoing, is stopped at this point. Because it is, the firewall can make sure that it is acceptable. "Acceptable" means that whatever is passing through -- email, file transfers, remote logins, NFS mounts, etc. -- conforms to the security policy of the site. Building Internet Firewalls is a practical guide to building firewalls on the Internet. If your site is connected to the Internet, or if you're considering getting connected, you need this book. It describes a variety of firewall approaches and architectures and discusses how you can build packet filtering and proxying solutions at your site. It also contains a full discussion of how to configure Internet services (e.g., FTP, SMTP, Telnet) to work with a firewall. The book also includes a complete list of resources, including the location of many publicly available firewall construction tools. The book is divided into four parts: Part I discusses Internet threats, the benefits of firewalls, overall security strategies, and a summary of Internet services and their security risks. Part II describes possible firewall designs and general terms and concepts, how to protect the bastion host in your firewall configuration, how to build proxying and packet filtering firewalls, and how to configure Internet services to operate with a firewall. Part III describes how to maintain a firewall, develop a security policy, and respond to a security incident. Part IV contains appendic

Технологія Ethernet останнім часом перестала бути лише технологією, що застосовується при побудові локальних (внутрішньооб’єктових) мереж. Сучасний рівень технології охоплює мережі LAN, WAN та MAN. Сучасне застосування технології Ethernet передбачає роботу на високих швидкостях 1 Гбіт/с, 10 Гбіт/с, використання оптичного волокна, безпосередній вихід на первинну мережу зв’язку, взаємодію технології Ethernet з іншими технологіями мережі доступу (наприклад DSL) та первинної мережі (наприклад SDH, WDM). Автори намагались в цьому посібнику дати опис використання технології Ethernet як в локальних мережах так і на первинній мережі, викласти принципи функціонування технології Ethernet, параметри складових, що входять до мережі, котра використовує технологію Ethernet.

Хто ми — Україна чи Малоросія? Європа чи Росія? Чи українська релігійність — це те саме, що візантійське православ'я? Звідки взялись тамплієри на берегах Дніпра? Яку таємницю берегли «таємні товариства» малоросійських дворян XIX ст.? Звідки в «Лісовій пісні» зашифрована легенда про Грааль? Чи й справді українці — це «селянська нація»? В чому різниця між демократією і хамократією? В чому полягав модерний «український проект» і чи вдалося нам його реалізувати?.. Нова книжка провідної української письменниці, підсумковий плід її багаторічних роздумів — це вражаюча інтелектуальна подорож крізь віки, культури й конфесії в пошуках «України, яку ми втратили». Ключем до неї стає розкритий О. Забужко «код Лесі Українки». Аристократка і єретичка, спадкоємиця древнього лицарського роду і продовжувачка гностичної традиції, ця найвидатніша з українок залишилася незрозумілою в радянській Україні і майже незнаною широкій публіці — в Україні незалежній. Чому? Відповіддю на це питання стає велика історична драма «прихованої війни», яку Оксана Забужко з притаманною їй відвагою виносить із забуття і, на багатющому літературному й історичному матеріалі, відновлює на повен зріст. Це не лише фундаментальна історико-культурна студія чи вишукана філологічна екзегетика. Це ще й книга про наше сьогодення — про те, як жорстоко ми розплачуємося за втрату і забуття багатовікової лицарської культури.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IS CONSIDERED A MAJOR THREAT TO privacy because it enables pervasive surveillance, massive databases, and lightning- speed distribution of information across the globe. In fact, privacy has been one of the most enduring social issues associated with digital electronic information technologies. A fi xture in public discourse at least since the 1960s, when the dominant concern was massive databases of government and other large institutions housed in large stand- alone computers, concerns have multiplied in type and extent as radical transformations of the technology have yielded the remarkable range of present- day systems, including distributed networking; the World Wide Web; mobile devices; video, audio, and biometric surveillance; global positioning; ubiquitous computing; social networks; sensor networks; databases of compiled information; data mining; and more. Associated with each of these developments is a set of worries about privacy.
