Cooperation
Liberal democracy is in crisis around the world, unable to address pressing problems such as climate change. There is, however, another path—cooperation democracy.

These forms of cooperation do not depend on electoral politics. Instead, they harness the longstanding practices and values of cooperatives: self-determination, democratic participation, equity, solidarity, and respect for the environment. Bernard E.

With costs skyrocketing and anti-science sentiment spreading, the so-called "medical freedom" movement has grown. Now it faces its greatest challenge: going mainstream. In these pages you'll meet medic...

Internet of Things Vulnerabilities and Recovery Strategies
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a widely distributed and networked system of interrelated and interacting computing devices and objects. Because of IoT’s broad scope, it presents unique security problems, ranging from unsecure devices to users vulnerable to hackers. Presenting cutting- edge research to meet these challenges, Internet of Things Vulnerabilities and Recovery Strategies presents models of attack on IoT systems and solutions to prevent such attacks. Examining the requirements to secure IoT- systems, the book offers recovery strategies and addresses security concerns related to: Data Routing Data Integrity Device Supervision IoT Integration Information Storage IoT Performance The book takes a holistic approach that encompasses visibility, segmentation, and protection. In addition to visual approaches and policy- driven measures, the book looks at developing secure and fault- tolerant IoT devices. It examines how to locate faults and presents mitigation strategies, as well as security models to prevent and thwart hacking. The book also examines security issues related to IoT systems and device maintenance.
