    Book Description

    Web site developers balance their need to collect information about users with their obligation to show respect for their users' privacy. The Platform for Privacy Preferences Project, or P3P, has emerged as a technology that may satisfy the wishes of both parties. Developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), P3P gives users more control over the amount of information they disclose about themselves as they browse the Web, and allows web sites to declare to browsers what sort of information they will request of users. The number of web developers using P3P continues to grow. P3P support is now built into the newest browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, and Mozilla. Web Privacy with P3P explains the P3P protocol and shows web site developers how to configure their sites for P3P compliance. Author Lorrie Faith Cranor, chair of the Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) Specification Working Group at the W3C and co-author of the P3P1.0 specification, explains the inner workings of the P3P protocol while maintaining a hands-on implementation approach. Following a foreword by Stanford Law professor Lawrence Lessig, the book begins with an introduction to P3P and an overview of online privacy concerns and the laws governing online privacy. Cranor discusses existing privacy technology, such as encryption tools, filters and identity management tools. Next, the book shows you how to P3P-enable your own site. Among the many topics covered are: Full of examples and case studies, Web Privacy with P3P delivers practical advice and insider tips. Software developers, privacy consultants, corporate decision-makers, lawyers, public policy-makers, and any individual interested in online privacy issues will find this book a necessary reference.

                  From the supplier: The Commission on Graduate Education in Economics (COGEE) report issued recommendations for graduate program development following concern over declining interest by economists to pursue their profession. One suggestion supported by leading economists is requiring greater focus on writing and research skills. A dual approach for PhD programs is also considered ideal, where theoretical and applied orientations are given separate focus.

                        From the supplier: The development of agricultural economics is considered a product of the economics profession. However, its value system deviates from economics and is considered closer to that established in the Commission on Graduate Educations in Economics report. Training in agricultural economics has a broader scope and has greater application with data. This approach must also be integrated into mainstream economics, particularly for PhD programs.

                            Book Description

                            Towards the end of the 20th century, biology seems to have replaced physics as the leading scientific discipline. At the beginning 21st century, the potential impact of biology on the fate of mankind has placed this discipline in the limelight of public interest as well. It is therefore important that biologists leave the ivory tower of their laboratories and explain to the public what they do, how they do it, and what they want to achieve. In the first part of this volume six leading biologists present their views on the principles nature uses to generate complex organisms such as man, and on strategies such complex organisms use to protect their integrity in a hostile environment. The scientific process is revealed as an intellectual endeavor aimed at goals that enrich our culture rather than threaten it. The chapters are lectures read at a symposium on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology (Freiburg, Germany). Aimed at a general audience without being trivial

                              The International Conference on Transportation, Storage, and Disposal of Hazardous Materials, held at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), brought together representatives of academia, business, and government from East and West to discuss the nature of current problems in the area of hazardous materials. An important objective of the Conference was to suggest steps that could be undertaken by industrial firms, the insurance industry, and government agencies to improve the safety and efficiency with which hazardous materials are produced and controlled in industrialized societies.

                                  Book Description

                                  The book abounds with fascinating anecdotes about fusion's rocky path: the spurious claim by Argentine dictator Juan Peron in 1951 that his country had built a working fusion reactor, the rush by the United States to drop secrecy and publicize its fusion work as a propaganda offensive after the Russian success with Sputnik; the fortune Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione sank into an unconventional fusion device, the skepticism that met an assertion by two University of Utah chemists in 1989 that they had created "cold fusion" in a bottle. Aimed at a general audience, the book describes the scientific basis of controlled fusion--the fusing of atomic nuclei, under conditions hotter than the sun, to release energy. Using personal recollections of scientists involved, it traces the history of this little-known international race that began during the Cold War in secret laboratories in the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union, and evolved into an astonishingly open collaboration between East and West.
