How to build innovation and industrial ecosystems in the US that support global leadership in priority technologies of the future. A new world order is emerging, and within it, US priorities are shifting. A reconfiguration of global supply chains. The redrawing of geopolitical lines and alliances with increasing threats of conflict. A rise in weather-related disasters. And the emergence of transformative technologies. All these factors are converging to create an environment filled with uncertainty and change—but also possibility. For the country to flourish as well as defend and secure its interests, it must build on its decades of experience in developing frontier technologies and globally competitive industries through investments into priority technologies for the twenty-first century. This volume, edited by Elisabeth Reynolds, presents a high-level introduction to some of the key areas where the United States must excel and lead in the coming decades to ensure both national and economic security. The book provides an overview of six key priority technologies—critical minerals, semiconductors, biomanufacturing, quantum computing, drones, and advanced manufacturing—needed to build the innovation and industrial ecosystems that will keep the US secure and drive shared prosperity. Contributors: Elsa A. Olivetti, Jesús del Alamo, J. Christopher Love, William D. Oliver, Jonathan Ruane, and Fiona E. Murray.

A Straightforward Introduction

Foundations of Cybersecurity, 2nd Edition

SpringerBriefs in Finance

The book offers an overview of the main financial and operational risks in cryptocurrency markets and Decentralized Finance. It outlines the role of stablecoins, crypto-investment products, and multi-function ecosystems, highlighting vulnerabilities linked to reserves, leverage, and protocol interdependencies. The book distinguishes traditional risks from those rooted in smart-contract logic, oracle manipulation, governance failures, and cross-chain bridges. An empirical section analyzes attack frequency, stolen amounts, and evolving exploit techniques, showing a shift toward complex schemes using flash loans and oracle distortions. The book also examines mixers and presents the Ronin case. The final chapters discuss technical and governance measures to mitigate risks and provide regulatory recommendations.

Learn How to Make Wireless Work Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LoRa are technologies that power our world, but building with them isn’t always straightforward. Connections drop, tutorials skip steps, and error messages don’t always help resolve problems. Through a series of hands-on projects using Raspberry Pi and Linux, you’ll learn how wireless systems work, how to control them, and how to build tools that actually function in the real world. Each recipe is self-contained, reliable, and ready to adapt for your own projects. Among the book’s many projects, you’ll build: <ul><li>A BLE audio receiver for high-quality wireless sound</li><li>A battery-powered LoRa node with miles of range</li><li>A mesh Wi-Fi network that reroutes itself</li><li>A signal strength display with a mini TFT screen</li><li>A wireless intrusion detection system and captive portal</li></ul> Along the way, you’ll build a solid foundation in Linux networking, gain fluency in wireless protocols like 802.11, BLE, and LoRaWAN, and develop the confidence to design and deploy your own solutions. Each recipe is built around a wireless challenge you’re likely to encounter and gives you the tools to solve it. It’s wireless. It’s Linux. And with this book, it finally makes sense.

The Wealth Habit

AI can write the code. You still need to know what it does. You’re already good at Excel. But you’re tired of the copy/paste, the helper columns, and the brittle formulas that break when someone adds a row. You want automation, and whether you write the code yourself or let AI generate it, you need to understand what’s actually running your business processes. Automate Excel with Python teaches you to build real workflows, step-by-step. You’ll read messy workbooks into pandas dataframes, filter and reshape data without helper columns, merge sources without silent VLOOKUP failures, and export polished results with formatting intact. A capstone chapter ties it together: import a multi-tab workbook, generate exception reports, and email the results—all from one script you run with a single click. You’ll learn how to: <ul><li>Read existing Excel files you already use into Python, even the messy ones</li><li>Replace daily copy/paste routines with reusable scripts</li><li>Merge and match data across sources with auditable results</li><li>Handle dates, times, and the edge cases that break formulas</li><li>Export from Python to Excel with column widths, number formats, and frozen panes intact</li><li>Build workflows that run daily without babysitting</li></ul> AI can write the code. This book makes sure you’re the one in control of it.

This practical guide will help spreadsheet pros save time and boost productivity using beginner Python tools – without having to become a programmer. Automate Excel with Python bridges the gap between Excel expertise and Python programming without forcing you to start from scratch. Unlike other programming guides, it’s specifically designed for Excel users who need more power and automation, not for professional programmers. This book focuses on enhancing your existing Excel skills rather than replacing them. You’ll learn how Python’s dataframes work like virtual spreadsheets, extending what you already know while automating repetitive tasks. You’ll be able to import and export data seamlessly between Excel and Python to integrate coding into your current workflow. Concise, practical examples throughout will get you up and running quickly. Each topic addresses real problems Excel users face, with solutions you can implement immediately. The structure is deliberately flexible. Chapters progress logically but stand independently, so you can jump to exactly what you need without reading everything that came before. This makes it perfect for solving urgent problems or learning at your own pace. You’ll apply the techniques you learn to automate reports, clean messy data, perform complex calculations, and handle large datasets that would overwhelm Excel alone—all while leveraging your existing spreadsheet knowledge.

A personal chronicle of three key legal privacy battles that have defined the digital age and shaped the internet as we know it. From a seasoned leader in the field of digital privacy rights. Throughout her career, Cindy Cohn has been driven by a fundamental question: Can we still have private conversations if we live our lives online? Privacy’s Defender chronicles her thirty-year battle to protect our right to digital privacy and shows just how central this right is to all our other rights, including our ability to organize and make change in the world. Shattering the hypermasculine myth that our digital reality was solely the work of a handful of charismatic tech founders, the author weaves her own personal story with the history of Crypto Wars, FBI gag orders, and the post-9/11 surveillance state. She describes how she became a seasoned leader in the early digital rights movement, as well as how this work serendipitously helped her discover her birth parents and find her life partner. Along the way, she also details the development of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which she grew from a ragtag group of lawyers and hackers into one of the most powerful digital rights organizations in the world. Part memoir and part legal history for the general reader, the book is a compelling testament to just how hard-won the privacy rights we now enjoy as tech users are, but also how crucial these rights are in our efforts to combat authoritarianism, grow democracy, and strengthen other human rights.

<div>Human history is a history of individuals - of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life. It is also the history of individuation, understood as a continuous search for autonomy, self-affirmation and the achievement of personal goals. But today, this process of individuation is coming to an end and morphing into its opposite - disindividuation. The individual is giving way to the progressive loss of individuality and social life is turning into the society of "dividuals" - that is, beings who are becoming unaware of their uniqueness and who are losing their sense of self.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The main driver of this process is technology. The more that individuals rely on technological devices to fill the social void and mitigate loneliness, the more they are recognized not so much for themselves but as the bearers of the devices that contain all the information necessary for their identity: images, texts and the digital traces of earlier exchanges. Individuals increasingly renounce their privacy, sharing it with a device that becomes an integral part of themselves. Deprived of uniqueness, the dividual is a lonely being who no longer has the ability to relate effectively to others and to external reality.
