It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible. Like An Inconvenient Truth and Silent Spring before it, The Uninhabitable Earth is both a meditation on the devastation we have brought upon ourselves and an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation.

Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy serves as the perfect introduction to its subject; it remains unchallenged as the greatest account of the history of Western thought. Charting philosophy's course from the pre-Socratics up to the early twentieth century, Russell relates each philosopher and school to their respective historical and cultural contexts, providing erudite commentary throughout his invaluable survey.

Publisher's Summary

Will the world's next war be fought in cyberspace?

"It's going to happen," said former National Defense University Professor Dan Kuehl. So much of the world's activity takes place on the Internet now - including commerce, banking, and communications - that the Pentagon has declared war in cyberspace an inevitability.

For more than a year, Washington Post reporter Robert O'Harrow has explored the threats proliferating in our digital universe. This audiobook is a compilation of that reporting. With chapters built around real people, including hackers, security researchers, and corporate executives, this book will help regular people, lawmakers, and businesses better understand the mind-bending challenge of keeping the Internet safe from hackers and security breaches - and all-out war.

Nothing new here....

For some reason the same information was several times. Compared to similar books on the same subject matter, this attempt sorely lacked.
Recently read the phenomenal 'Future Crimes' twice -a 20 hour book - and it blew this out of the water. No real answers or solutions, just felt like it was reading headlines, by and large.
Not really 'crap' as much as ho-hum.
