Many of us especially since 911 have become personally concerned about issues of security & this is no surprise Security is near the top of government & corporate agendas around the globe Security-related stories appear on the front page everyday How well though do any of us truly understand what achieving real security involves? In Beyond Fear Bruce Schneier invites us to take a critical look at not just the threats to our security but the ways in which we're encouraged to think about security by law enforcement agencies businesses of all shapes & sizes & our national governments & militaries Schneier believes we all can & should be better security consumers & that the trade-offs we make in the name of security
- in terms of cash outlays taxes inconvenience & diminished freedoms
- should be part of an ongoing negotiation in our personal professional & civic lives & the subject of an open & informed national discussion With a well-deserved reputation for original & sometimes iconoclastic thought Schneier has a lot to say that is provocative counter-intuitive & just plain good sense He explains in detail for example why we need to design security systems that don't just work well but fail well & why secrecy on the part of government often undermines security He also believes for instance that national ID cards are an exceptionally bad idea technically unsound & even destructive of security & contrary to a lot of current nay-sayers he thinks online shopping is fundamentally safe & that many of the new airline security measure (though by no means all) are actually quite effective A skeptic of much that's promised by highly touted technologies like biometrics Schneier is also a refreshingly positive problem-solving force in the often self-dramatizing & fear-mongering world of security pundits Schneier helps the reader to understand the issues at stake & how to best come to one's own conclusions including the vast infrastructure we already have in place & the vaster systems--some useful others useless or worse--that we're being asked to submit to & pay for Bruce Schneier is the author of seven books including Applied Cryptography (which Wired called the one book the National Security Agency wanted never to be published) & Secrets & Lies (described in Fortune as startlingly livelya jewel box of little surprises you can actually use) He is also Founder & Chief Technology Officer of Counterpane Internet Security Inc & publishes Crypto-Gram one of the most widely read newsletters in the field of online security

Beyond Freedom And Dignity

In this profound and profoundly controversial work a landmark of 20th-century thought originally published in 1971 B F Skinner makes his definitive statement about humankind and society Insisting that the problems of the world today can be solved only by dealing much more effectively with human behavior Skinner argues that our traditional concepts of freedom and dignity must be sharply revised They have played an important historical role in our struggle against many kinds of tyranny he acknowledges but they are now responsible for the futile defense of a presumed free and autonomous individual; they are perpetuating our use of punishment and blocking the development of more effective cultural practices Basing his arguments on the massive results of the experimental analysis of behavior he
pioneered Skinner rejects traditional explanations of behavior in terms of states of mind feelings and other mental attributes in favor of explanations to be sought in the interaction between genetic endowment and personal history He argues that instead of promoting freedom and dignity as personal attributes we should direct our attention to the physical and social environments in which people live It is the environment rather than humankind itself that must be changed if the traditional goals of the struggle for freedom and dignity are to be reached Beyond Freedom and Dignity urges us to reexamine the ideals we have taken for granted and to consider the possibility of a radically behaviorist approach to human problems--one that has appeared to some incompatible with those ideals but which
envisions the building of a world in which humankind can attain its greatest possible achievements
