Counterterrorism and cybersecurity are the top two priorities at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Graduated from the FBI Citizens Academy in 2021, Prof. Newton Lee offers a broad survey of counterterrorism and cybersecurity history, strategies, and technologies in the 3rd edition of his riveting book that examines the role of the intelligence community, cures for terrorism, war and peace, cyber warfare, and quantum computing security.

From September 11 attacks and Sony-pocalypse to Israel’s 9/11 and MOAB (Mother of All Breaches), the author shares insights from Hollywood such as 24, Homeland, The Americans, and The X-Files. In real life, the unsung heroes at the FBI have thwarted a myriad of terrorist attacks and cybercrimes. The FBI has worked diligently to improve its public image and build trust through community outreach and pop culture.

Imagine Sherlock Holmes meets James Bond in crime fighting, FBI Director Christopher Wray says, “We’ve got technically trained personnel―with cutting-edge tools and skills you might never have imagined seeing outside of a James Bond movie―covering roughly 400 offices around the country.”

This book is indispensable for anyone who is contemplating a career at the FBI, think tanks, or law enforcement agencies worldwide. It is also a must-read for every executive to safeguard their organization against cyberattacks that have caused more than $10 billion in damages. In the spirit of President John F. Kennedy, one may proclaim: “Ask not what counterterrorism and cybersecurity can do for you, ask what you can do for counterterrorism and cybersecurity.” Show less

With more than three billion monthly active users, Facebook family of apps is by far the world’s largest social network. Facebook as a nation is bigger than the top three most populous countries in the world: China, India, and the United States. Social media has enabled its users to inform and misinform the public, to appease and disrupt Wall Street, to mitigate and exacerbate the COVID-19 pandemic, and to unite and divide a country.

Mark Zuckerberg once said, “We exist at the intersection of technology and social issues.” He should have heeded his own words. In October 2021, former Facebook manager-turned-whistleblower Frances Haugen testified at the U.S. Senate that Facebook’s products “harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy.”

This book offers discourse and practical advice on information and misinformation, cybersecurity and privacy issues, cryptocurrency and business intelligence, social media marketing and caveats, e-government and e-activism, as well as the pros and cons of total information awareness including the Edward Snowden leaks.

Pharmacological information has been organized and encoded in rules and frames for systematic retrieval. This includes: delineation, definition, and hierarchical subdivision of mechanisms responsible for drug interactions; division of pharmacological agents into a hierarchy of subclasses to allow for defining interacting drugs by classes as well as by specific agents; correlation of drug classes and specific drugs with mechanisms by which they may be involved in drug interactions. This information, accessible through a natural language-like and menu driven interface, allows clinicians to know what may happen when two drugs are used together, why, what can be done to alleviate detrimental interactions, and what related drugs may also be involved in similar interactions.
