Download or read book Eyes In The Sky written by Arthur Holland Michel and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating history and unnerving future of high-tech aerial surveillance, from its secret military origins to its growing use on American citizens Eyes in the Sky is the authoritative account of how the Pentagon secretly developed a godlike surveillance system for monitoring America's enemies overseas, and how it is now being used to watch us in our own backyards. Whereas a regular aerial camera can only capture a small patch of ground at any given time, this system—and its most powerful iteration, Gorgon Stare—allow operators to track thousands of moving targets at once, both forwards and backwards in time, across whole city-sized areas. When fused with big-data analysis techniques, this network can be used to watch everything simultaneously, and perhaps even predict attacks before they happen. In battle, Gorgon Stare and other systems like it have saved countless lives, but when this technology is deployed over American cities—as it already has been, extensively and largely in secret—it has the potential to become the most nightmarishly powerful visual surveillance system ever built. While it may well solve serious crimes and even help ease the traffic along your morning commute, it could also enable far more sinister and dangerous intrusions into our lives. This is closed-circuit television on steroids. Facebook in the heavens. Drawing on extensive access within the Pentagon and in the companies and government labs that developed these devices, Eyes in the Sky reveals how a top-secret team of mad scientists brought Gorgon Stare into existence, how it has come to pose an unprecedented threat to our privacy and freedom, and how we might still capitalize on its great promise while avoiding its many perils.

Opening locked doors has a price—even for those who hold a key. After going through the door that called to them both in dreams, Emory and Romie find themselves in the Wychwood: the same verdant world written of in Song of the Drowned Gods, albeit a twisted, rotting version of it. A sinister force has awoken with their arrival, intent on destruction as it spills across realms, and now Emory and Romie must stop it before it reaches their own shores. Meanwhile, Baz and Kai are desperate to follow their friends through the door to other worlds, but a mishap pulls them back in time instead—where they come face to face with Cornus Clover himself, famed author of Song of the Drowned Gods. Stuck together in the past, they must navigate a very different Aldryn as they unravel the school’s darkest secrets. Across time and worlds, Emory, Romie, Baz, and Kai find their fates eerily interwoven with the heroes from Clover’s book. But when stories can’t be trusted, friendships are put to the test, and deadly enemies are not always as they seem, they must decide who gets to be a hero—and who is desperate enough to see themselves become a villain.

Download or read book Ladder to the Sky written by Ettore Luzzatto and published by PINE TEN, LLC. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fictionalized autobiography of a young Italian Jew, who leaves his beloved country when, overnight, the 1938 racial laws make him a pariah, is a testament to the strength of the human soul. Leaving Italy for the United States with little cash and a strong will to live the life of a free man, young Bruno settles down in New York City and struggles to find his balance. When the U.S. enters WWII, he enlists in the army and participates in the liberation of the Philippines. Bruno's Jewish identity is the common thread of this book and omnipresent in all his decisions. He returns to Italy, gets married, has children, and finally settles down in Israel, the only place where he can find himself again. Ettore (Edgar) Luzzatto (1914-2011) was the son of an aristocratic Italian Jewish family. His grandfather, Riccardo, who greatly influenced his formative years, was an Italian hero and one of Garibaldi's "Mille." During his life, the first part of which spanned two world wars, Ettore Luzzatto never stopped trying for something more than the ordinary, professionally and personally, taking chances on his abilities, and never stopping searching until his last day.
