-Titulo Original : Stealth War How China Took Over While Americas Elite Slept-Fabricante : Portfolio-Descripcion Original: China expert Robert Spalding reveals the shocking success China has had infiltrating American institutions and compromising our national security.The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to Americas national security, but the real danger lies farther east. While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on Americas economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure--and theyre winning. Its almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese. In Stealth War, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding reveals Chinas motives and secret attacks on the West. Chronicling how our leaders have failed to protect us over recent decades, he provides shocking evidence of some of Chinas most brilliant ploys, including:Placing Confucius Institutes in universities across the United States that serve to monitor and control Chinese students on campus and spread communist narratives to unsuspecting American students.Offering enormous sums to American experts who create investment funds that funnel technology to China.Signing a thirty-year agreement with the US that allows China to share peaceful nuclear technology, ensuring that they have access to American nuclear know-how.Spaldings concern isnt merely that America could lose its position on the world stage. More urgently, the Chinese Communist Party has a fundamental loathing of the legal protections America grants its people and seeks to create a world without those rights. Despite all the damage done so far, Spalding shows how its still possible for the U.S. and the rest of the free world to combat--and win--Chinas stealth war. Review “[A] searing expose of how the Chinese Communist Party continues to conduct its war for influence around the world.” Washington Examiner“As the former US Department of Defense attache to China, General Spalding is in a unique position to offer a gripping tale of the multiple battlefronts of China’s war against America. Ten years from now, readers will remember this seminal work that accurately describes the current and future states of play between the world’s great powers.” J. Kyle Bass, Chief Investment Officer of Hayman Capital Management About the Author Robert Spalding retired from the U.S. Air Force as a brigadier general after more than 25 years of service. He is a former China strategist for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, as well as a senior defense official and defense attache to China. He earned his doctorate in economics and mathematics from the University of Missouri and is fluent in Mandarin. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Introduction I know something about stealth. In 1998, I began training to pilot B 2 Spirits, known far and wide as Stealth Bombers. The B 2 was at that time the high- profile new weapon in the US Air Force arsenal, a dazzling, billion-dollar, high-tech machine that looked like it had flown in from a future century. Its “continuous curvature” allowed it to avoid detection by the electromagnetic waves used by radar systems to track objects. In other words, I learned to fly a plane that achieved something every military strategist has dreamed of: being invisible. Twenty years later- having served as chief China strate­gist for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and as se­nior US Defense official and Defense attache to the People’s Republic of China- I left my position as senior director for strategic planning at the White House, deeply concerned about a different stealth weapon being turned against my country. For the past forty years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been playing a beautiful game. It is sophis­ticated yet simple. It is a competition to gain control and influence across the planet- and to achieve that outcome without resorting to mil...

-Titulo Original : Blockchain Revolution How The Technology Behind Bitcoin And Other Cryptocurrencies Is Changing The World-Fabricante : Portfolio-Descripcion Original: The first, foundational book on blockchain technology, from the bestselling author of Wikinomics Don Tapscott and blockchain expert Alex Tapscott, now in paperback with a new preface and chapter explaining recent developments in the world of blockchain, including cryptoassets, ICOs, smart contracts, and more. “This book has had an enormous impact on the evolution of blockchain in the world.” -Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft CorporationIn this revelatory book, Don and Alex Tapscott bring us a brilliantly researched, highly readable, and essential book about the technology driving the future of the economy. Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolution­ary protocol that allows transactions to be simultaneously anonymous and secure by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it’s best known as the technology that drives bitcoin and other digital cur­rencies, it also has the potential to go far beyond currency, to record virtually everything of value to humankind, from birth and death certifi­cates to insurance claims, land titles, and even votes. As with major paradigm shifts that preceded it, blockchain technology will create winners and losers. This book shines a light on where it can lead us in the next decade and beyond. Review “The blockchain is one of the most fundamental inventions in the history of computer science. Read Blockchain Revolution to understand its profound implications.” -Marc Andreessen, cofounder, Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz “The Tapscotts have written the book, literally, on how to survive and thrive in this next wave of technology-driven disruption. Likely to become one of the iconic books of our time.” -Clay Christensen, author of The Innovator’s Dilemma “Everywhere thoughtful people are trying to understand this revolutionary technology and how it might change the world. Team Tapscott has stepped up and written the book we’ve been waiting for.” -Dan Schulman, CEO, Paypal “Occasionally a book comes along that changes the global discourse. This is likely to be one of those books. Blockchains are at the heart of the fourth industrial revolution and the Tapscotts lucidly explain why and how to capture the opportunity and avoid the dangers.” -Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman, World Economic Forum “A carefully researched and beautifully written book. Blockchain Revolution argues that the ‘Internet of value’ will transform our lives. A must-read book for our disruptive times.” -Dominic Barton, global managing director, McKinsey & Company “Don and Alex brilliantly illuminate the technology that could profoundly impact the way we manage issues of trust, security, and privacy for years to come.” -Indra Nooyi, chairman and CEO, PepsiCo “The great missing element in the Internet has been a ‘trust protocol,” a way of knowing that a transaction is verified and authentic. Blockchain technology could provide a foun­dation for that. It’s a revolutionary idea, and this lucid book explains why.” -Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs “What a spectacular book. Mind-blowing in its expansiveness and profundity. It makes me think we’re at one of those times in technological, economic, and social history where the sky is the limit.” -Steve Wozniak, cofounder, Apple Computer and chief scientist, Prime Data“The Tapscotts provide a thorough, balanced and enlightening guide to the next big thing.”-Financial Times“Father and son duo, Don and Alex Tapscott, have impeccable timing.”- Forbes Magazine “The Tapscotts’ make the bulls’ case in clear and compelling terms.” - Fortune Magazine “Blockchain Revolution is a highly readable introduction to a bamboozling but increasingly important field.”- The Guardian “This is all very new and still unfolding but I recommend that you read Blockchain Revolution…it really is time to get with the global revolution.” - The Huffington Post “The Tapscotts have done a masterful job explaining why this is, truly, anoth...

-Titulo Original : Trust Me, Im Lying Confessions Of A Media Manipulator-Fabricante : Portfolio-Descripcion Original: The cult classic that predicted the rise of fake news-revised and updated for the post-Trump, post-Gawker age. Hailed as astonishing and disturbing by the Financial Times and essential reading by TechCrunch at its original publication, former American Apparel marketing director Ryan Holiday’s first book sounded a prescient alarm about the dangers of fake news. Its all the more relevant today. Trust Me, I’m Lying was the first book to blow the lid off the speed and force at which rumors travel online-and get traded up the media ecosystem until they become real headlines and generate real responses in the real world. The culprit? Marketers and professional media manipulators, encouraged by the toxic economics of the news business. Whenever you see a malicious online rumor costs a company millions, politically motivated fake news driving elections, a product or celebrity zooming from total obscurity to viral sensation, or anonymously sourced articles becoming national conversation, someone is behind it. Often someone like Ryan Holiday. As he explains, “I wrote this book to explain how media manipulators work, how to spot their fingerprints, how to fight them, and how (if you must) to emulate their tactics. Why am I giving away these secrets? Because I’m tired of a world where trolls hijack debates, marketers help write the news, opinion masquerades as fact, algorithms drive everything to extremes, and no one is accountable for any of it. I’m pulling back the curtain because it’s time the public understands how things really work. What you choose to do with this information is up to you.” Review “Holiday effectively maps the news media landscape. . . . Media students and bloggers would do well to heed Holiday’s informative, timely, and provocative advice.” - Publishers Weekly “This book will make online media giants very, very uncomfortable.” - Drew Curtis, founder, Fark “Ryan Holiday’s brilliant expose of the unreality of the Internet should be required reading for every thinker in America.” - Edward Jay Epstein, author of How America Lost Its Secrets: Edward Snowden, the Man and the Theft “[Like] Upton Sinclair on the blogosphere.” - Tyler Cowen, MarginalRevolution , author of Average Is Over “Ryan Holiday is the internet’s sociopathic id.” - Dan Mitchell, SF Weekly “Ryan Holiday is a media genius who promotes, inflates, and hacks some of the biggest names and brands in the world.” - Chase Jarvis, founder and CEO, CreativeLive “Ryan has a truly unique perspective on the seedy underbelly of digital culture.” - Matt Mason, former director of marketing, BitTorrent “While the observation that the internet favors speed over accuracy is hardly new, Holiday lays out how easily it is to twist it toward any end. . . . Trust Me, I’m Lying provides valuable food for thought regarding how we receive- and perceive- information.” - New York Post About the Author RYAN HOLIDAY is the bestselling author of The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, Growth Hacker Marketing, Perennial Seller, and other books about marketing, culture, and the human condition. His work has been translated into twenty-eight languages and has appeared everywhere from the Columbia Journalism Review to Fast Company.
