Hands-On Concurrency with Rust. Confidently build memory-safe, parallel, and efficient software in Rust

Brian L. Troutwine

Most programming languages can really complicate things, especially with regard to unsafe memory access. The burden on you, the programmer, lies across two domains: understanding the modern machine and your language's pain-points. This book will teach you to how to manage program performance on modern machines and build fast, memory-safe, and concurrent software in Rust. It starts with the fundamentals of Rust and discusses machine architecture concepts. You will be taken through ways to measure and improve the performance of Rust code systematically and how to write collections with confidence. You will learn about the Sync and Send traits applied to threads, and coordinate thread execution with locks, atomic primitives, data-parallelism, and more.The book will show you how to efficiently embed Rust in C++ code and explore the functionalities of various crates for multithreaded applications. It explores implementations in depth. You will know how a mutex works and build several yourself. You will master radically different approaches that exist in the ecosystem for structuring and managing high-scale systems. By the end of the book, you will feel comfortable with designing safe, consistent, parallel, and high-performance applications in Rust.

Kryzysy w Unii Europejskiej w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku. Uwarunkowania - przebieg - implikacje

red. Tomasz Kubin, Mieczysław Stolarczyk

Unia Europejska znalazła się w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku w kryzysie egzystencjalnym. Przyczyną tego stanu było współwystępowanie (nakładanie się) wielu kryzysów i stosunkowo słabe efekty podejmowanych działań zmierzających do ich rozwiązania. Celem badawczym książki jest poddanie analizie najważniejszych kwestii dotyczących głównych przyczyn i przejawów kryzysów występujących w UE w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku oraz wskazanie na możliwości ich rozwiązania, a także na ich implikacje dla dalszej realizacji europejskiego projektu integracyjnego. Prezentowany praca zbiorowa zawiera dwadzieścia cztery artykuły, które zostały pomieszczone w czterech częściach zatytułowanych: Teoretyczne aspekty kryzysów w Unii Europejskiej, Uwarunkowania kryzysów w Unii Europejskiej, Przejawy kryzysów w Unii Europejskiej oraz Implikacje kryzysów w Unii Europejskiej. Autorami poszczególnych opracowań są badacze z wielu polskich ośrodków akademickich. Opracowanie adresowane jest do szerokiego grona Czytelników. Artykuły zamieszczone w publikacji powinny zainteresować badaczy procesów integracji europejskiej, studentów, dziennikarzy, polityków oraz tych wszystkich, którzy chcieliby poszerzyć swoją wiedzę na temat głównych przyczyn, przejawów i implikacji kryzysów występujących w Unii Europejskiej w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku (m.in. kryzysu strefy, euro, kryzysu uchodźczo-migracyjnego, kryzysu polityki bezpieczeństwa i obrony, kryzysu aksjologicznego, kryzysu uznanego (powszechnie akceptowanego) przywództwa Niemiec w UE).

Peter Pan

J.M. Barrie

Peter Pan is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. The author behind one of the most beloved childhood fairytale characters of all time was known for his joyful embrace of youth and creativity, but there were dark elements surrounding his life that remain mysteries. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans and the dastardly Captain Hook, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland. He befriends Wendy, John and Michael and teaches them to fly with a little help from fairy dust. Humorous, satiric, filled with suspenseful cliff-hangers and bittersweet truths, Peter Pan works an indisputable magic on readers of all ages, making it a true classic of imaginative literature.

The Passionate Friends. A Novel

Herbert George Wells

Although most famous for his sci-fi, Wells best work often deals with ordinary people having big thoughts in picturesque settings. The Passionate Friends is a fine representative example of this. Wells uses the changing relationships among childhood friends as the media for his thoughts on human relations on personal and global scales, and of what it all means. On the death of his father, Stephen Stratton writes a long and deeply personal letter to his son, hoping that, as his son becomes a man, he can benefit from Stephens experience and wisdom. As Stephen sets down his lifes history, he tells the remarkable story of his former lover, Lady Mary. With a lust for freedom and a fierce desire not to be owned by a man, she is a woman living ahead of her time until marriage threatens to ruin her. First published in 1913, The Passionate Friends is an inspiring love story between father and son, and man and woman.

The Duel and Other Stories

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

The center of attention was a small group of people, but everything was spinning around Ivan Laevsky, self-confident and selfish 28-year-old. He escaped with the wife of another man and lived in sin. Perhaps there is not even a duel in the literal sense, but a duel with the contradiction of the main character. He realized that love was not so, and did not know what to do, what to say.
