Visualization for computer security (VizSec) researchers and developers are doing just that. VizSec is about putting robust information visualization tools into the hands of human analysts to take advantage of the power of the human perceptual and cognitive processes in solving computer security problems.

The first paper, by Otto T. Solbrig, discusses the flora of the South American temperate and semidesert regions, citing numerous genera and reasons that they are found in the different...

As the use of computerized information continues to proliferate, so does the need for a writing method suited to this new medium. In "Writing for the Computer Screen," Hillary Goodall and Susan Smith Reilly call attention to new forms of information display unique to computers. The authors draw upon years of professional experience in business and education to present practical computer display techniques. This book examines the shortfalls of using established forms of writing for the computer where information needed in a hurry can be buried in a cluttered screen. Such problems can be...

Since democracies are relatively new in Eastern Europe and little has been written, much can be learned from looking at the distinctive developments in both legal transitions and the process of criminalization.

This book brings together recent work from researchers and academics engaged in theory, policy and practice, and offers a significant contribution to the study of transition in the fields of criminology, law, philosophy and political science and a critical analysis of future directions in criminalisation in the emerging democratic states of Eastern Europe.
