Size : 1.37 MB |
English |
Descirption: A seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, Edward Bernays' 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence public attitudes over the past century. With his view that the public behaves like herds of animals, Bernays outlines how to control the masses in whatever way the influencer chooses. With a glimpse into the world of propaganda and advertising, he sho how ideas as different as eating bacon for breakfast and preferring women to be thin were put into our heads. By adapting the ideas that Bernays put forth in this book, governments and advertisers have been able to "regiment the mind." Bernays' work explains a large part of the popularity of today's TV ne shout-fest and angry social media posts. Bernays wrote, "crowds love a contest."

If anyone is truly desperate, it's Max Merriweather.
Max is at the end of his rope. His cousin has been brutally murdered, leaving Max an envelope that contains nothing but a mysterious key. However, someone really wants that key, badly enough that Max - and anyone he turns to - is in deadly danger. What seems like a simple job for The Nowhere Man turns out to be anything but.

Overground Railroad The Green Book and the Roots of Black Travel in America
Type : epub |
Size : 51.83 MB |

Descirption: The first book to explore the historical role and residual impact of the Green Book, a travel guide for black motorists Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the "black travel guide to America." At that time, it was very dangerous and di cult for African-Americans to travel because black travelers couldn't eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book, and Overground Railroad celebrates the stories of those who put their names in the book and stood up against segregation. It sho the history of the Green Book, how we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes to race relations in America.

Descirption: Wrangling your web passwords can be easy and secure, thanks to <a href="">1Password</a>, the popular password manager from AgileBits. In this book, Joe Kissell brings years of real-world 1Password experience into play to explain not only how to create, edit, and enter web login data easily, but also how to autofill contact and credit card info when shopping online, audit your passwords and generate better ones, handle two-factor authentication (2FA), and sync and share passwords in various ways-including a hosted 1Password account (individual, family, or team), iCloud or Dropbox.
The book focuses on 1Password 7 for Mac and Windo, but it also provides details and directions for the iOS and Android versions of 1Password. It briefly covers 1Password X, a chrome extension that brings 1Password to Chrome OS and Linux.
Topics include:
Meet 1Password: Set your master password, explore the various 1Password components, and decide on your ideal usage strategy.
Master logins: In 1Password, a typical login contains a set of credentials used to sign in to a website. Find out how to create logins, sort them, search them, tag them, and more. You'll also find help with editing logins-for example, changing a password or adding further details.
Understand password security: Get guidance on what makes for a good password, and read Joe's important Password Dos and Don'ts. A special topic covers how to perform a security audit in order to improve poor passwords quickly.
Go beyond web logins: A primary point of 1Password is to speed up web logins, but 1Password can also store and autofill contact information (for more than one identity, even), along with credit card information. You'll also find advice on storing passwords for password-protected files and encrypted disk images, plus ideas for keeping track of confidential files, software licenses, scans of important cards or documents, and more.
Sync your passwords: Discover which 1Password syncing solution is right for you: a hosted 1Password account, Dropbox, iCloud, a manually synced folder, or even device-to-device Wi-Fi sync.
Share your passwords: Learn to store passwords in shared vaults within a family or team hosted account.
You'll also discover the answers to key questions, including:
What are my options for licensing 1Password?What are the differences between vaults in 1Password accounts and standalone vaults?Should I keep using my web broer's autofill feature?What about iCloud Keychain? Should I use that too?What can I do quickly to get better password security?How can I find and update weak passwords I created long ago?What should I do about security questions, like the name of my pet?How can 1Password provide a time-based one-time password (TOTP)? How do I use 1Password logins from utilities like LaunchBar?</ul>
