Tallinn Manual 2.0 on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations - 2nd Edition by Michael N Schmitt (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 638Genre: Freedom + Security / Law EnforcementSub-Genre: InternationalFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Cambridge University PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: Michael N SchmittFeatured book lists: TextbooksLanguage: English About the Book The new edition of the highly influential Tallinn Manual, which outlines public international law as it applies to cyber operations. Book Synopsis Tallinn Manual 2.0 expands on the highly influential first edition by extending its coverage of the international law governing cyber operations to peacetime legal regimes. The product of a three-year follow-on project by a new group of twenty renowned international law experts, it addresses such topics as sovereignty, state responsibility, human rights, and the law of air, space, and the sea. Tallinn Manual 2.0 identifies 154 'black letter' rules governing cyber operations and provides extensive commentary on each rule. Although Tallinn Manual 2.0 represents the views of the experts in their personal capacity, the project benefitted from the unofficial input of many states and over fifty peer reviewers. Review Quotes 'Appropriately named Tallinn Manual 2.0: International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations, the new book offers a fascinating look at how far the cyber threat landscape has evolved in the less than half decade since the first version's release in 2013, shifting the focus from conventional state-authorized and operated cyber warfare to the small-bore deniable cyber activities that form the majority of day-to-day cyber attacks today.'

Successful Psychopharmacology - by Stephen V Sobel (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 352Genre: MedicalSub-Genre: PsychiatryFormat: PaperbackPublisher: W. W. Norton & CompanyAge Range: AdultBook theme: PsychopharmacologyAuthor: Stephen V SobelFeatured book lists: TextbooksLanguage: English About the Book A guide for physicians and clinicians to understanding and choosing the proper psychiatric medications and for their patients who want to learn how this should be done. Book Synopsis This book teaches mental health professionals how to choose and use psychotropic medications to address the biological etiology of psychiatric disease and mental health. It helps readers understand the key aspects of psychotherapy to deal with the psychosocial factors that prescribers need to know to use these medications within the context of the patient's life. This book is based on the premise that all mental health--in the most symptomatic, impaired individual and in the most mentally healthy individual--is caused by a combination of biopsychosocial factors. Mental health professionals need to recognize and understand these factors and their interactions, and correct them. An understanding of all these factors, and of psychopharmacology, can lead to better treatment decisions. This book is for many readers: for psychiatrists who recognize the daily challenges in treating patients; for primary care physicians who identify psychiatric disorders in their patients; for non-medically-trained mental health professionals who want a more sophisticated understanding of psychopharmacology; and even for patients who want and need a better understanding of the medications their doctors have prescribed them. Review Quotes [E]minently readable . . . . [C]lear and concise . . . . [T]houghtfully describes common patient issues with medication therapy . . . . Excellent explanations of drug mechanisms of action . . . . Obviously, clinicians in psychiatry and psychology would enjoy this book, but perhaps less obvious is its enormous value to scientists, pharmacists, and other health care professionals, as well as health sciences students. Highly recommended.-- "CHOICE"The author gracefully combines his everyday clinical experience with treatment guidelines. . . . The writing style is lucid and succinct.-- "Metapsychology Online Reviews" (12/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)Dr. Sobel has distilled a large amount of information on psychopharmacology into easily digestible bites, giving practical information that will greatly benefit any primary care physician. Gleaning tips from both his incisive research and his many years of experience as a psychiatrist, Dr. Sobel presents the reader with useful and accessible advice in an engaging conversational style.--Gregg Lichtenstein, MD, MBA, FAAFP, Medical Director, Student Health Services, San Diego State UniversityStephen Sobel has written a wide-ranging, impressive book on psychopharmacology. His expertise is obvious as is his honesty regarding the challenges clinicians and patients face. This book is a welcome addition to my collection of books on the topic, and I highly recommend adding it to yours.--Rakesh Jain, MD, Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Services, University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Houston, TXThis book offers an engaging take on modern psychopharmacology by artfully combining the author's real-world clinical experience with evidence-based treatment guidelines. Punctuated by insightful anecdotes and vignettes, this book manages to reframe the ultimate goal of modern psychopharmacology: to optimize functional recovery by aggressively seeking total symptom control.--Mark Rapaport, MD, Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine, and Ebrahim Haroon, MD, Emory UniversityThis excellent book demonstrates why Dr. Sobel is so highly regarded in professional circles. It paves a solid pathway through which to regain that functional state that would otherwise elude the individual suffering from this medical problem.--Gustavo Alva, MD, DFAPA, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the University of California, IrvineWhether you are a physician or a psychotherapist treating mental health disorders, you will want this volume close at hand. Dr. Sobel has a remarkable ability to describe neurobiology and the mechanisms of action of medications and he makes it clear how to achieve his stated goal of remission for mental health disorders. With straightforward, un-common sense and evident compassion for his patients, he provides templates for using medications so those who prescribe can find their way through the maze of choices to serve the patient most effectively. Dr. Sobel also clarifies for psychotherapists where medication fits into the recovery of our clients, so we can provide confident medication referrals and foster our clients' compliance with medication regimens. Here is a genuine 'go-to' book on psychopharmacology you do not want to miss!--Margaret Wehrenberg, author of The 10 Best-Ever Anxiety Management Techniques

The Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes - (Philosophical Papers (Cambridge)) by Imre Lakatos (Paperback)
Number of Pages: 260Genre: ScienceSub-Genre: Philosophy & Social AspectsSeries Title: Philosophical Papers (Cambridge)Format: PaperbackPublisher: Cambridge University PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: Imre LakatosFeatured book lists: Adopted Trade BooksLanguage: English About the Book This collection exhibits and confirms the originality, range and the essential unity of his work. Book Synopsis Imre Lakatos' philosophical and scientific papers are published here in two volumes. Volume I brings together his very influential but scattered papers on the philosophy of the physical sciences, and includes one important unpublished essay on the effect of Newton's scientific achievement. Volume II presents his work on the philosophy of mathematics (much of it unpublished), together with some critical essays on contemporary philosophers of science and some famous polemical writings on political and educational issues. Imre Lakatos had an influence out of all proportion to the length of his philosophical career. This collection exhibits and confirms the originality, range and the essential unity of his work. It demonstrates too the force and spirit he brought to every issue with which he engaged, from his most abstract mathematical work to his passionate 'Letter to the director of the LSE'. Lakatos' ideas are now the focus of widespread and increasing interest, and these volumes should make possible for the first time their study as a whole and their proper assessment. Review Quotes '... a well-produced book that every philosopher of science or mathematics will wish to have.' Philosophy'... there is an essential unity of theme and purpose running through all the papers collected in these volumes. Many of the papers, even though they have been previously published, are not fully self-contained and can be understood only by reference to others. Their collection and the editors' cross-referencing thus serves the useful purpose of facilitating an assessment of Lakatos' contribution to philosophy.' Philosophical Books

Book Synopsis Modern technology has now reached a point where improved safety can only be achieved through a better understanding of human error mechanisms. In its treatment of major accidents, the book spans the disciplinary gulf between psychological theory and those concerned with maintaining the reliabiblity of hazardous technologies. Much of the theoretical structure is new and original, and of particular importance is the identification of cognitive processes common to a wide variety of error types. Review Quotes "...a comprehensive and often innovative treatment of human error that is both readable and informative." Gavan Lintern, Human Factors Society Bulletin"...an in-depth analytical framework of human error..." Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing
