Information Security is usually achieved through a mix of technical, organizational and legal measures. These may include the application of cryptography, the hierarchical modeling of organizations in order to assure confidentiality, or the distribution of accountability and responsibility by law, among interested parties. The history of Information Security reaches back to ancient times and starts with the emergence of bureaucracy in administration and warfare. Some aspects, such as the interception of encrypted messages during World War II, have attracted huge attention, whereas other aspects have remained largely uncovered. There has never been any effort to write a comprehensive history....
This book explores the idea of privacy at sea, from early sixteenth-century maritime expansions to nineteenth-century naval developments. In this period, the sea became a focal point of political and economic ambition as technological and cultural shifts enabled a more extensive exploration of maritime spaces and global coexistence at sea. The exploration of the sea and the conflicts arising from establishing control over maritime routes demanded a more nuanced distinction and negotiation between State and private efforts. Privateering, for example, became a bridge between the private enterprises and the State’s warfares or trade struggles, demonstrating that the sea required public contro...
This book is an insider’s account of the search for missing American servicemen who became trapped in the Soviet Union and the US government’s efforts to free them or discover their fates. The book, which is based on years of work as a consultant to the US government, includes archive research that took place in Russia and four other republics of the Soviet Union as the USSR broke apart. Volume I explores the history of missing American servicemen, with particular emphasis on thousands who were not accounted for during the Korean War and Cold War era. As US relations with Russia and North Korea become more intense, this book is an extremely timely resource for scholars, laymen, and policymakers.
This book presents the latest research on the challenges and solutions affecting the equilibrium between freedom of speech, freedom of information, information security and the right to informational privacy. Given the complexity of the topics addressed, the book shows how old legal and ethical frameworks may need to be not only updated, but also supplemented and complemented by new conceptual solutions. Neither a conservative attitude (“more of the same”) nor a revolutionary zeal (“never seen before”) is likely to lead to satisfactory solutions. Instead, more reflection and better conceptual design are needed, not least to harmonise different perspectives and legal frameworks intern...

'Enchanting to the point of escapism.' – Simon Ings, Spectator 'Hugh Aldersey-Williams rescues his subject from Newton's shadow, where he was been unjustly confined for over three hundred years.' – Literary Review Filled with incident, discovery, and revelation, Dutch Light is a vivid account of Christiaan Huygens’s remarkable life and career, but it is also nothing less than the story of the birth of modern science as we know it. Europe’s greatest scientist during the latter half of the seventeenth century, Christiaan Huygens was a true polymath. A towering figure in the fields of astronomy, optics, mechanics, and mathematics, many of his innovations in methodology, optics and timek...
English summary: Forty years after the death of Erich Maria Remarque, this volume provides a detailed bibliography of international research literature on the author from 1929 to the present day.

An index of persons facilitates the use of the bibliography. The volume is completed with the first publication of one of Remarque's last texts: Der Kranke, from 1964. This is an autobiographically motivated, philosophical reflection on sickness, dying and death, and o...
Das Große Sängerlexikon ist das anerkannte Nachschlagewerk über Sängerinnen und Sänger und umfasst in seiner 4. Auflage 18.760 Sänger-Biographien. Bemerkenswert am Großen Sängerlexikon ist nicht nur seine ungeheure Materialfülle, sondern auch, dass es einen sehr weit gespannten Zeitraum und viele Gattungen umfasst: beginnend mit dem Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts, zeichnet es die Entwicklung der bis heute bestimmend gebliebenen Formen der Gesangskunst nach - Oper, Oratorium, Arie, Kantate, Lied, geistliche Vokalmusik - und bewahrt gleichzeitig bis in die Gegenwart größtmögliche Aktualität. Die biographischen Artikel nennen den Künstler- und den bürgerlichen Namen, das Stimmfach und die Lebensdaten. Es folgen Angaben zur Herkunft, zur Karriere nach Wirkungsstätten und den wichtigsten Werken, eine kurze Darstellung der biographisch bedeutsamen Stationen, eine Charakterisierung der Stimme, bei großen Namen Literaturangaben sowie Hinweise auf Tonträgeraufnahmen. Mit den Aktualisierungen, Ergänzungen und Neuaufnahmen wird das Große Sängerlexikon auch in seiner neuesten Ausgabe wieder dem Ruf seiner Vorgänger als Standardwerk für jeden Liebhaber des Gesanges gerecht.
