Phobias (Diseases and Disorders)

Lucent Books, 2009

Human beings have a love/hate relationship with fear. Medals are given to valiant warriors who charge fearlessly into combat, while those who sneak around whimpering in their battle helmets are labeled cowards and in some cultures are even put to death for what is considered a war-time crime. As a whole, people generally find fear to be...

Macs Portable Genius

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Some less-than-charitable folks insist on calling Mac users a “cult.” Why? Well, who knows, really? Perhaps it’s because people who use a Mac actually enjoy using a computer, as opposed to folks using other systems who seem to wage a daily war to stop themselves from putting a fist through their screens. Perhaps it’s because...

Freedom Fighters is a game of tactical combat, or what some like to refer as a thinking shooter.

The Culture of Vengeance and the Fate of American Justice

Cambridge University Press, 2008

America is driven by vengeance in Terry Aladjem's provocative account - a reactive, public anger that is a threat to democratic justice itself.

"Computers don't attack computers, people do. With Erbschloe's capability taxonomy, we see that there are plenty of new adversaries out there with increasingly powerful cyberweapons and intentions.
