Описание: Covers the history of British Infantry equipment from the landing of Wellesley`s army in Spain in 1808 through its Victorian glories to the eve of World War I. Colour plates depict the equipment in detail.
In Mexican American communities in the central United States, the modern tradition of playing fastpitch softball has been passed from generation to generation. This ethnic sporting practice is kept alive through annual tournaments, the longest-running of which were founded in the 1940s, when softball was a ubiquitous form of recreation, and the so-called "Mexican American generation" born to immigrant parents was coming of age. Carrying on with fastpitch into the second or third generation of players even as wider interest in the sport has waned, these historically Mexican American tournaments now function as reunions that allow people to maintain ties to a shared past, and to remember the decades of segregation when Mexican Americans' citizenship was unfairly questioned.
In this multi-sited ethnography, Ben Chappell conveys the importance of fastpitch in the ordinary yearly life of Mexican American communities from Kansas City to Houston. Traveling to tournaments, he interviews players and fans, strikes up conversations in the bleachers, takes in the atmosphere in the heat of competition, and combs through local and personal archives. Recognizing fastpitch as a practice of cultural citizenship, Chappell situates the sport within a history marked by migration, marginalization, solidarity, and struggle, through which Mexican Americans have navigated complex negotiations of cultural, national, and local identities.

Описание:
Solitary, graceful, and contemplative, cats have inspired poets from Charles Baudelaire to Margaret Atwood to serve as their chroniclers and celebrants. They have appeared, wrapped in their inscrutability, in verse both sensual and spiritual, weary and whimsical. With Familiars, Fred Chappell proves himself a worthy addition to the fellowship of poets who have sought to immortalize their beloved cats.
Here are cats as personalities, cats as art objects and historical figures, cats as reflections of human temperament. Chappell salutes the literary cats of decades past -- George Herriman's happy-go-lucky Krazy Kat, Don Marquis's grande dame mehitabel -- and the imagined cats who claim as their companions the characters from Chappell's own past poems. The cats in Familiars are alert and affectionate, equal parts cherished friends and unknowable mysteries.

Описание:
Wireshark is the world's most popular network analyzer solution. Used for network troubleshooting, forensics, optimization and more, Wireshark is considered one of the most successful open source projects of all time.
Laura Chappell has been involved in the Wireshark project since its infancy (when it was called Ethereal) and is considered the foremost authority on network protocol analysis and forensics using Wireshark.
This book consists of 16 labs and is based on the format Laura introduced to trade show audiences over ten years ago through her highly acclaimed "Packet Challenges." This book gives you a chance to test your knowledge of Wireshark and TCP/IP communications analysis by posing a series of questions related to a trace file and then providing Laura's highly detailed step-by-step instructions showing how Laura arrived at the answers to the labs.
Book trace files and blank Answer Sheets can be downloaded from this book's supplement page (see https: //www.chappell-university.com/books).
Lab 1: Wireshark Warm-Up Objective: Get Comfortable with the Lab Process. Completion of this lab requires many of the skills you will use throughout this lab book. If you are a bit shaky on any answer, take time when reviewing the answers to this lab to ensure you have mastered the necessary skill(s).
Lab 2: Proxy Problem Objective: Examine issues that relate to a web proxy connection problem.
Lab 3: HTTP vs. HTTPS Objective: Analyze and compare HTTP and HTTPS communications and errors using inclusion and field existence filters.
Lab 4: TCP SYN Analysis Objective: Filter on and analyze TCP SYN and SYN/ACK packets to determine the capabilities of TCP peers and their connections.
Lab 5: TCP SEQ/ACK Analysis Objective: Examine and analyze TCP sequence and acknowledgment numbering and Wireshark's interpretation of non-sequential numbering patterns.
Lab 6: You're Out of Order Objective: Examine Wireshark's process of distinguishing between out-of-order packets and retransmissions and identify mis-identifications.
Lab 7: Sky High Objective: Examine and analyze traffic captured as a host was redirected to a malicious site.

Lab 13: Just DNS Objective: Analyze, compare, and contrast various DNS queries and responses to identify errors, cache times, and CNAME (alias) information.
Lab 14: Movie Time Objective: Use various display filter types, including regular expressions (regex), to analyze HTTP redirections, end-of-field values, object download times, errors, response times and more.
Lab 15: Crafty Objective: Practice your display filter skills using "contains" operators, ASCII filters, and inclusion/exclusion filters, while analyzing TCP and HTTP performance parameters.
Lab 16: Pattern Recognition Objective: Focus on TCP conversations and endpoints while analyzing TCP sequence numbers, Window Scaling, keep-alive, and Selective Acknowledgment capabilities.
