Security in Embedded Devices
by Catherine H. GebotysAlthough security is prevalent in PCs, wireless communications and other systems today, it is expected to become increasingly important and widespread in many embedded devices. For some time, typical embedded system designers have been dealing with tremendous challenges in performance, power, price and reliability. However now they must additionally deal with definition of security requirements, security design and implementation. Given the limited number of security engineers in the market, large background of cryptography with which these standards are based upon, and difficulty of ensuring the implementation will also be secure from attacks, security design remains a challenge. This book provides the foundations for understanding embedded security design, outlining various aspects of security in devices ranging from typical wireless devices such as PDAs through to contactless smartcards to satellites.
Security in Next Generation Mobile Networks: SAE/LTE and Wimax (River Publishers Series In Standardisation Ser.)

Seeking Truth in International TV News: China, CGTN and the BBC (Routledge Advances in Internationalizing Media Studies)
by Vivien MarshThis book puts CGTN (formerly CCTV-News) and the BBC’s international television news head-to-head, interrogating competing ‘truths’ in the exacting business of news reporting. Written by a media scholar and former long-serving BBC News journalist, Seeking Truth in International TV News asks if China’s English-language television news programmes are little more than state propaganda, and if the BBC can be viewed as a universal news standard to which all other broadcasters should aspire. Over 8 years of Xi Jinping’s rule, it investigates how the international TV news channels of CGTN and the BBC reported on Chinese politics, protests in Hong Kong, disasters, China in Africa, and insurgency and its suppression in Xinjiang. The comparison reveals uneven editorial imperatives at the Chinese broadcaster and raises questions about the BBC’s professed tenets of balance and impartiality. It also illustrates how Chinese journalists commit ‘small acts of journalism’ that push the boundaries of information control. A rigorous analysis of reportage from the two channels, this book will be relevant to scholars of global media, journalism, international relations and public diplomacy. It will also interest those in academia, the media and international affairs who want to examine the nature of news and ‘soft power’ in a comparative context.

Selbstgewiss ins Ungewisse: Auftragskommunikation in der Krise (essentials)
by Andreas Galling-Stiehler Jürgen Schulz Robert Caspar MüllerDas letzte Jahrzehnt war geprägt von globalen Krisen: Finanz-, Flüchtlings-, Klima- und die Corona-Pandemiekrise haben Gewissheiten in Frage gestellt. In Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik wurde und wird von Menschen eine Anpassung an neue Bedingungen gefordert. Transformation erscheint als Gebot der Stunde. Dazu braucht es den Mut von Menschen und Organisationen, Bedrohungen entgegenzutreten sowie den vitalen Willen, Chancen zu ergreifen. Voraussetzung dafür ist Selbstgewissheit. Das Problem: Ungewisse Zeiten sind meist keine selbstgewissen. Es braucht den Austausch mit anderen Menschen, um Risiken gemeinsam einzugehen. Wir müssen uns mit den neuen Bedingungen ebenso vertraut machen wie mit- und untereinander, um zu neuen Gewissheiten zu gelangen. Anstatt Verständigung zu fördern, setzen Politik und Wirtschaft auf das Gegenteil: Paternalismus und Verhaltensökonomie sollen die Sinnsuche verkürzen. Das Gespräch soll durch sein Ergebnis ersetzt werden. Das ist eine Transformation, die auf Anpassungsdruck und Drohung setzt, weil sie Menschen wie Organisationen einen Wandel zum Guten letztlich nicht selbst zutraut. Die Autoren schlagen einen anderen Weg vor: selbstgewiss ins Ungewisse.

Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn
by Martha Gellhorn Caroline MooreheadFrom Martha Gellhorn's critically acclaimed biographer, the first collected letters of this defining figure of the twentieth-centuryMartha Gellhorn's heroic career as a reporter brought her to the front lines of virtually every significant international conflict between the Spanish Civil War and the end of the Cold War. While Gellhorn's wartime dispatches rank among the best of the century, her personal letters are their equal: as vivid and fascinating as anything she ever published. Gellhorn's correspondence from 1930 to 1996—chronicling friendships with figures as diverse as Eleanor Roosevelt, Leonard Bernstein, and H. G. Wells, as well as her tempestuous marriage to Ernest Hemingway—paint a vivid picture of the twentieth century as she lived it. Caroline Moorehead, who was granted exclusive access to the letters, has expertly edited this fascinating volume, providing prefatory and interstitial material that contextualizes Gellhorn's correspondence within the arc of her entire life. The letters introduce us to the woman behind the correspondent—a writer of wit, charm, and vulnerability. The result is an exhilarating, intimate portrait of one of the most accomplished women of modern times.
