In World Brain, Alan Radley looks at the computer not as a tool, or as a bicycle-for-the-mind, but simply as self. He argues that humans are becoming so enmeshed with the computer, in terms of how we think, act and communicate; that soon it may no longer be possible to identify where the self ends, and the computer begins, and vice-versa. Predicted by some, are marvellous benefits for technology; in terms of enhancements to our social, creative and personal lives. But already clear, is that not all of the associated problems lie in the realm of speculation. One example, is that the Internet is moving ever further away from the free and open system as foreseen by its original designers; whereby citizens are routinely censored, controlled, hacked and/or spied upon. Other questions arise; such as who builds today's systems, and in what sense(s) are they useful, humane or democratic? Explored are human-friendly designs for the computers of tomorrow, whereby the wishes, plans and actions of society may be aligned to benefit all. Contains 1000 illustrations www.alanradley.com

Alan Radley has written a comprehensive book on the workout and strength training routines followed by the legendary martial artist and Hollywood actor Bruce Lee. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Bruce developed a thoughtful approach to his physical conditioning-employing all available methods; including isometric, dynamic and even electric stimulation exercises; using free-weights and machines, combined with martial-arts movements, flexibility and cardiovascular training etc.Bruce possessed a fantastic physique in which every single one of his muscles was superbly developed, plus he had an amazing physicality and athletic movement capability possessed by almost no other martial-artist of his time (or today). Lee's muscular physique was no accident. He employed a systematic approach to physical conditioning; including use of special exercises and diet, plus advanced strength training techniques. And it's all here, including a comprehensive break-down of Lee's personal workout philosophy, strength attainment principles, exercises, routines etc. Both men and women can use Bruce Lee's Strength Workout For Muscles Of Steel to meet their fitness goals. The how and why of Lee's training is explained in greater detail than ever before, and laid-out is a well-defined path to physical perfection.

How can we characterise Cybersecurity? How do data breaches, hacks, system exploits and computer intrusions happen - and why? What occurs when Cybersecurity really works effectively, and can we systemise it? Or will the clever hacker always break into any networked device, sweeping all defences aside? On a quest for insightful answers in this ground-breaking book, Dr Alan Radley proceeds to completely deconstruct, rationally analyse, meticulously re-build and then sanely reassess the entire field of Cybersecurity. A rigorous scientific methodology is applied to networked system design, leading to a comprehensive new model - and accurate taxonomic-tree - of all possible types and classes of cyber attacks and associated countermeasures. The upshot is a wholly original, astute and fearlessly honest - yet practically-oriented - treatise on Cybersecurity. Outlined here for the first time is a logical explanation of the fundamental theory and principal axioms of Cybersecurity as developed from first principles, and in a format ideally suited to both - the engineering minded professional - and the less technically-oriented.
