It steadily increases your vocabulary, as the difficulty slowly grows as you progress through the book, and even though you'll be working your brain, it's the perfect way to unwind.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48863853379927,"sku":"9780007465156","price":7.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780007465156.jpg?v=1722269329"},{"product_id":"cracking-codes-and-cryptograms-for-dummies-9780470591000","title":"Cracking Codes and Cryptograms For Dummies","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShows you how to think like a symbologist to uncover mysteries and history by solving cryptograms and cracking codes that relate to Freemasonry, the Knights Templar, the Illuminati, and other secret societies and conspiracy theories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword ix\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Code and Cryptogram Strategies 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Clueing You In about Codes and Cryptograms 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Cracking the Codes 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Secret Stories, Codes, and Cryptogram Puzzles 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Solving Three Conspiracies 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Letter Substitution Cryptograms 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Number Substitution Cryptograms 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Symbol Substitution Cryptograms 155\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Caesar \/ Shift Ciphers 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Masonic Ciphers 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Rail Fence Ciphers 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Keyboard Codes 235\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Assorted Ciphers 251\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Anagrams and Cryptic Clues 261\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Double Level Puzzles 269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Hints and Answers to the Cryptos and Codes 277\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Hints to Help Crack the Cryptograms and Puzzles 279\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Answers to All Cryptograms and Puzzles 295\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppendix: Historical Background to the Conspiracy Stories 323\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48864633815383,"sku":"9780470591000","price":7.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780470591000.jpg?v=1722272820"},{"product_id":"algebraic-geometry-in-coding-theory-and-cryptography-9780691102887","title":"Algebraic Geometry in Coding Theory and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering graduate students with the necessary theoretical tools for applying algebraic geometry to information theory, this title covers primary applications in coding theory and cryptography.

Taped to his abdomen was an enciphered message. In 1912, a book dealer named Wilfrid Voynich came into possession of an illuminated cipher manuscript once belonging to Emperor Rudolf II, who was obsessed with alchemy and the occult. Wartime codebreakers tried--and failed--to unlock the book's secrets, and it remains an enigma to this day. In this lively and entertaining book, Craig Bauer examines these and other vexing ciphers yet to be cracked. Some may reveal the identity of a spy or serial killer, provide the location of buried treasure, or expose a secret society--while others may be elaborate hoaxes.  Unsolved! begins by explaining the basics of cryptology, and then explores the history behind an array of unsolved ciphers.

Battle these adversaries with novel ways to identify and prioritize technical debt, based on behavioral data from how developers work with code. And that's just for starters. Because good code involves social design, as well as technical design, you can find surprising dependencies between people and code to resolve coordination bottlenecks among teams. Best of all, the techniques build on behavioral data that you already have: your version-control system. Join the fight for better code!   Use statistics and data science to uncover both problematic code and the behavioral patterns of the developers who build your software. This combination gives you insights you can't get from the code alone. Use these insights to prioritize refactoring needs, measure their effect, find implicit dependencies between different modules, and automatically create knowledge maps of your system based on actual code contributions.   In a radical, much-needed change from common practice, guide organizational decisions with objective data by measuring how well your development teams align with the software architecture. Discover a comprehensive set of practical analysis techniques based on version-control data, where each point is illustrated with a case study from a real-world codebase. Because the techniques are language neutral, you can apply them to your own code no matter what programming language you use. Guide organizational decisions with objective data by measuring how well your development teams align with the software architecture. Apply research findings from social psychology to software development, ensuring you get the tools you need to coach your organization towards better code.   If you're an experienced programmer, software architect, or technical manager, you'll get a new perspective that will change how you work with code.   What You Need:   You don't have to install anything to follow along in the book. TThe case studies in the book use well-known open source projects hosted on GitHub. You'll use CodeScene, a free software analysis tool for open source projects, for the case studies.

In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies, military leaders, and diplomats. In recent decades, it has expanded in two main ways: firstly, it provides mechanisms for more than just keeping secrets through schemes like digital signatures, digital cash, etc; secondly, cryptography is used by almost all computer users as it is embedded into the infrastructure for computing and telecommunications. Cryptography ensures secure communications through confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and non-repudiation. Cryptography has evolved over the years from Julius Cesar''s cipher, which simply shifts the letters of the words a fixed number of times, to the sophisticated RSA algorithm, which was invented by Ronald L. Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard M. Adleman, and the elegant AES cipher (Advanced Encryption Standard), which was invented by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen. The need for fast but secure cryptographic systems is growing bigger. Therefore, dedicated hardware for cryptography is becoming a key issue for designers. With the spread of reconfigurable hardware such as FPGAs, embedded cryptographic hardware became cost-effective. Nevertheless, it is worthy to note that nowadays, even hardwired cryptographic algorithms are not safe. Attacks based on power consumption and electromagnetic Analysis, such as SPA, DPA and EMA have been successfully used to retrieve secret information stored in cryptographic devices. Besides performance in terms of area and throughput, designer of embedded cryptographic hardware must worry about the leakage of their implementations. The content of this book is divided into three main parts, which are focused on new trends in cryptographic hardware, arithmetic and factoring.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886537716055,"sku":"9781594549779","price":173.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781594549779.jpg?v=1722540507"},{"product_id":"current-research-topics-on-galois-geometrics-9781612095233","title":"Current Research Topics on Galois Geometrics","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGalois geometry is the theory that deals with substructures living in projective spaces over finite fields, also called Galois fields.

In this scenario, efforts to improve public health will intensify the general trend to move away from sickness treatment to illness prevention and health promotion, as well as increased attention to personal and collective hygiene. This development exposes a potential problem in scholarly literature: much of what we know about influencing what people know about hygiene and why they engage in hygiene behaviour is based on very specific contexts (eg: hospitals and healthcare facilities) and populations (eg: children and healthcare workers). Enter the field of hygiene psychology, which is based on linking the best practices in personal hygiene with relevant personality and contextual factors supported by rigorous and innovative psychological research. We know what people must do to maintain good hygiene, but we must draw from psychology to translate this knowledge into promoting key hygiene behaviours.

STEM-ESTEEM -  Most people who turn out to be scientists or engineers or mathematicians, first showed interest in those fields in elementary school. In fact, research shows that girls will not study or enter a career in STEM if they do not cultivate interests by age seven. It's incredibly rare to encounter female pioneers in the STEM space. Ada Lovelace is an excellent example of a role model whose ideas are approachable enough for a child to comprehend, and big enough to inspire.  EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES - The book will include exercises and challenges for the young reader to learn the fundamental rules of coding. FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATION - Unlike most chapter books for this age range, this title will incorporate at least ten full-color illustrations by Marina Muun.

While Web 1.0 transformed information sharing and commerce and brought us giants like Google and Amazon and Web 2.0 unlocked the social potential of the internet and created Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat, exactly what will come of Web 3.0 remains to be seen.   It is indisputable that the seed of Web 3.0 is the technological, social, and economic innovations that came together in Bitcoin and the blockchain technology it created.

Where, if anywhere, might we see cryptocurrencies and the blockchain in the future and how might it affect our lives?
