the militarized legacy of the digital cloud: how the cloud grew out of older network technologies and politics. we may imagine the digital cloud as placeless, mute, ethereal, and unmediated. yet the reality of the cloud is embodied in thousands of massive data centers, any one of which can use as much electricity as a midsized town. even all these data centers are only one small part of the cloud. behind that cloud-shaped icon on our screens is a whole universe of technologies and cultural norms, all working to keep us from noticing their existence. in this book, tung-hui hu examines the gap between the real and the virtual in our understanding of the cloud. hu shows that the cloud grew out of such older networks as railroad tracks, sewer lines, and television circuits. he describes key moments in the prehistory of the cloud, from the game "spacewar" as exemplar of time-sharing computers to cold war bunkers that were later reused as data centers. countering the popular perception of a new "cloudlike" political power that is dispersed and immaterial, hu argues that the cloud grafts digital technologies onto older ways of exerting power over a population. but because we invest the cloud with cultural fantasies about security and participation, we fail to recognize its militarized origins and ideology. moving between the materiality of the technology itself and its cultural rhetoric, hu's account offers a set of new tools for rethinking the contemporary digital environment. show more (2)
'combines elements of in cold blood and black hawk down with apocalypse now as it builds towards its terrible climax...extraordinary' new york times iraq's `triangle of death', 2005. a platoon of young soldiers from a u.s. regiment known as `the black heart brigade' is deployed to a lawless and hyperviolent area just south of baghdad. almost immediately, the attacks begin: every day another roadside bomb, another colleague blown to pieces. as the daily violence chips away, and chips away at their sanity, the thirty-five young men of 1st platoon, bravo company descend into a tailspin of poor discipline, substance abuse, and brutality - with tragic results. black hearts is a timeless true story of how modern warfare can make or break a man's character. told with severe compassion, balanced judgement and the magnetic pace of a thriller, it looks set to become one of the defining books about the iraq war. `black hearts is the obverse of band of brothers, a story not of combat unity but of disharmony and disarray' chicago sun-times `a riveting picture of life outside the wire in iraq, where "you tell a guy to go across a bridge, and within five minutes he's dead."'kirkus reviews (starred) show more (1)
during the cold war, jazz became a cultural weapon that was employed by both sides to advance their interests. this volume explores the history and roles of jazz in poland, the german democratic republic (gdr), czechoslovakia, hungary, the soviet union, and the baltic states by means of several case studies. the american administration attempted to destabilize the political systems of the eastern bloc countries, while the powers responsible for culture in the eastern bloc countries tried to curtail the us propaganda campaign. this resulted in distinct jazz traditions and jazz scenes, each governed by a distinct behavioural codex, as well as official responses in each of the eastern bloc countries.

following the instant # 1 new york times bestseller stone cold, oliver stone and the camel club return in david baldacci's most surprising thriller yet . . . known by his alias, "oliver stone," john carr is the most wanted man in america. with two pulls of the trigger, the men who destroyed stone's life and kept him in the shadows were finally silenced. but his freedom comes at a steep price: the assassinations he carried out prompt the highest levels of the u.s. government to unleash a massive manhunt. behind the scenes, master spy macklin hayes is playing a very personal game of cat and mouse. he, more than anyone, wants stone dead. with their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the camel club risk everything to save him. now, as the hunters close in, stone's flight from the demons of his past will take him from the power corridors of washington, d.c., to the small, isolated coal-mining town of divine, virginia-and into a world every bit as lethal as the one he left behind. show more (1)

in 1859 the popular novelist wilkie collins wrote of a ghostly woman, dressed from head to toe in white garments, laying her cold, thin hand on the shoulder of a young man as he walked home late one evening. his novel the woman in white became hugely successful and popularised a style of writing that came to be known as sensation fiction. this companion highlights the energy, the impact and the inventiveness of the novels that were written in 'sensational' style, including the work of mary elizabeth braddon, mrs henry wood and florence marryat. it contains fifteen specially-commissioned essays and includes a chronology and a guide to further reading. accessible yet rigorous, this companion questions what influenced the shape and texture of the sensation novel, and what its repercussions were both in the nineteenth century and up to the present day (1)

there have been football books which have told their tale through the partisan heart of a besotted fan, and those that have dissected their subject through the scientific mind of an objective writer. but rarely does one fuse the blind passion of a lifelong supporter with the cold eye of an award-winning journalist in the way 44 years with the same bird does. that bird is the liver bird, and on the surface this book is a pitch-side view of the entire modern era of britain's most successful football club. it is brian reade's take on the extraordinary stories behind the 48 trophies he has seen liverpool lift since watching them en route to their first ever fa cup win in 1965, right through to the champions league defeat in athens in 2007. it takes in all of the big nights that propelled the club to five european cups, three uefa cups, twelve titles, countless domestic cup triumphs, bitter failures, the tragic disasters in sheffield and brussels, as well as the barren years of the late 60s and the 90s. but the book goes far deeper than that. it's about how football allowed a father who was separated from his son to forge a precious bond. how a football club can make a city that is dying on its knees keep believing in itself. how you should never, as a professional, get too close to your heroes. how being part of a disaster at a football match (hillsborough) can leave you a mental wreck, unwilling to carry on, but how witnessing a miracle on a football pitch (istanbul) makes you realize that no matter how low you sink, you should never give in. show more (1)
