former minister in the Karzai government, asks the important
questions and delivers informed insights on the history of women's
struggle in Afghanistan and the dangers posed by the ongoing
negotiations with the Taliban. In Part II, Dr. Silva, a former
member of the Canadian Parliament, addresses the continuing dilemma
of security, state failure, and terrorism, and the structures and
supports that must be in place following the international military
withdrawal.

This book highlights the differences, in terms of neoplastic
dissemination pathways, between various types of thoracic cancers.
It presents and discusses a comprehensive schematic overview of
tumors of the lung parenchyma, of the mediastinum, of the pleura,
and of the chest wall. For each tumor, it details the local spread
and the lymphatic and vascular dissemination, and it describes the
challenging staging of lung tumors with mutations. Illustrations
and artwork enrich the content and help readers to understand and
visualize tumor spread. The book is of great interest to
professionals involved in the study, diagnosis and treatment of
thoracic pathologies, as well as to residents in radiology,
oncology and pulmonology.

Cyber security has become a defining legal and political
predicament of our time, and where it has been found ineffective, a
sense of vulnerability has developed in society. The internet-age
has challenged the implications and execution of personal and
national security, as well as stirred issues about the concept of
privacy. Due to rapid transformations in technology, it has become
a difficult task for governments to give assurances of privacy to
their individual citizens. Technological advancement has seen a
proliferation of hackers who steal consumer data and misuse it for
profit. At the same time, the threat of terrorism has instigated
the use of new surveillance technologies to track and collect
information on a massive, potentially threatening scale.
Unrestricted mass surveillance by the US government, recently
thrusted back into the public consciousness, has largely eliminated
the right to privacy in a world that virtually relies upon
electronic communication. Privacy and Security in the Age of Global
Terror offers an insightful and timely look at how privacy has
become one of the critical issues of discussion in this
technological world. As internet democracy is one of the largest
emerging agendas, Dr. Silva looks at how reformed practices are
required to ensure protection against the surveillance of
individuals.
