Indonezja. Po drugiej stronie raju
Anna Jaklewicz
Książka wyróżniona w kategorii "najlepsza książka reportażowa" w konkursie na najlepsze publikacje turystyczne 2018r. organizowanym przez Magazyn Literacki Książki. Palmy kokosowe pochylające się nad zalanymi słońcem piaszczystymi plażami, wokół intensywnie turkusowa woda i kolorowe łódki uśmiechniętych rybaków. Indonezja – tropikalny raj, idealna sceneria egzotycznych wakacji na końcu świata. Ale czy ten raj pozostanie bez skazy, jeśli poznamy go lepiej? Anna Jaklewicz zabiera nas w głąb świata położonego z dala od turystycznych kurortów, odkrywa jego mniej znane oblicze – zaskakujące, czasem nawet mroczne. Pokazuje obraz Indonezji bez retuszu. Czy istnieje piąta płeć? Jak indonezyjskie duchy pomagają swatać? Do czego służą cukierki z cyjanku potasu? Kto pokłada bomby w oceanie? Jak wiele krwi przelano za goździki i gałkę muszkatołową? Czy można mieszkać trzy lata ze zmarłym? Dlaczego bawół jest droższy od samochodu? Ile talerzy warta jest śmierć dziecka? By się tego dowiedzieć, autorka bierze udział w szamańskich rytuałach, ceremoniach pogrzebowych, mieszka z morskimi cyganami w domach na palach i z ludźmi lasu w głębi dżungli. Próbuje zrozumieć i opisać ich świat, unikając jednoznacznych ocen. Jej książka to mistrzowskie połączenie autorefleksyjnej prozy podróżniczej, pasjonującego szkicu antropologicznego i frapującego reportażu. W książce: PIĄTA PŁEĆ - Opowieść o androgenicznych szamanach, odsłaniająca konflikt między świętością a naturą ludzką MORSCY CYGANIE - Legendarni ludzie-ryby i rybacy uwikłani w międzynarodowy proceder nielegalnego połowu ryb przy pomocy cyjanku potasu i bomb własnej produkcji WYSPY KORZENNE - Historia krwawych podbojów kolonialnych i konfliktów etnicznych, rozgrywająca się w cieniu drzew muszkatołowych i wonnych goździkowców ŚMIERĆ W TANA TORAJA - Świat, w którym pogrzeby są ważniejsze niż wesela, zmarli traktowani jak żywi, a ceną za pozaziemski raj jest śmierć setek bawołów LUDZIE LASU - Spotkanie z rdzennymi mieszkańcami lasów tropikalnych, których dziewiczy świat ulega szybkim zmianom pod wpływem kontaktów z cywilizacją

Industrial automation has become a popular solution for various industries looking to reduce manual labor inputs and costs by automating processes. This book helps you discover the abilities necessary for excelling in this field.The book starts with the basics of industrial automation before progressing to the application of switches, sensors, actuators, and motors, and a direct on-line (DOL) starter and its components, such as circuit breakers, contactors, and overload relay. Next, you'll explore VFDs, their parameter settings, and how they can be wired and programmed for induction motor control. As you advance, you'll learn the wiring and programming of major industrial automation tools – PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA. You’ll also get to grips with process control and measurements (temperature, pressure, level, and flow), along with analog signal processing with hands-on experience in connecting a 4–20 mA transmitter to a PLC. The concluding chapters will help you grasp various industrial network protocols such as FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and HART, as well as emerging trends in manufacturing (Industry 4.0) and its empowering technologies (such as IoT, AI, and robotics).By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a practical understanding of industrial automation concepts for machine automation and control.

With Industrial Control Systems (ICS) expanding into traditional IT space and even into the cloud, the attack surface of ICS environments has increased significantly, making it crucial to recognize your ICS vulnerabilities and implement advanced techniques for monitoring and defending against rapidly evolving cyber threats to critical infrastructure. This second edition covers the updated Industrial Demilitarized Zone (IDMZ) architecture and shows you how to implement, verify, and monitor a holistic security program for your ICS environment.You'll begin by learning how to design security-oriented architecture that allows you to implement the tools, techniques, and activities covered in this book effectively and easily. You'll get to grips with the monitoring, tracking, and trending (visualizing) and procedures of ICS cybersecurity risks as well as understand the overall security program and posture/hygiene of the ICS environment. The book then introduces you to threat hunting principles, tools, and techniques to help you identify malicious activity successfully. Finally, you'll work with incident response and incident recovery tools and techniques in an ICS environment.By the end of this book, you'll have gained a solid understanding of industrial cybersecurity monitoring, assessments, incident response activities, as well as threat hunting.
Industrial Cybersecurity. Efficiently secure critical infrastructure systems
Pascal Ackerman
With industries expanding, cyber attacks have increased significantly. Understanding your control system’s vulnerabilities and learning techniques to defend critical infrastructure systems from cyber threats is increasingly important. With the help of real-world use cases, this book will teach you the methodologies and security measures necessary to protect critical infrastructure systems and will get you up to speed with identifying unique challenges.Industrial cybersecurity begins by introducing Industrial Control System (ICS) technology, including ICS architectures, communication media, and protocols. This is followed by a presentation on ICS (in) security. After presenting an ICS-related attack scenario, securing of the ICS is discussed, including topics such as network segmentation, defense-in-depth strategies, and protective solutions. Along with practical examples for protecting industrial control systems, this book details security assessments, risk management, and security program development. It also covers essential cybersecurity aspects, such as threat detection and access management. Topics related to endpoint hardening such as monitoring, updating, and anti-malware implementations are also discussed.
