Perimeter defenses guarding your network aren't as secure as you
might think. Hosts behind the firewall have no defenses of their
own, so when a host in the "trusted" zone is breached, access to
your data center is not far behind. This practical book introduces
you to the zero trust model, a method that treats all hosts as if
they're internet-facing, and considers the entire network to be
compromised and hostile. In this updated edition, the authors show
you how zero trust lets you focus on building strong
authentication, authorization, and encryption throughout, while
providing compartmentalized access and better operational agility.
You'll learn the architecture of a zero trust network, including
how to build one using currently available technology. Explore
fundamental concepts of a zero trust network, including trust
engine, policy engine, and context aware agents Understand how this
model embeds security within the system's operation, rather than
layering it on top Use existing technology to establish trust among
the actors in a network Migrate from a perimeter-based network to a
zero trust network in production Examine case studies that provide
insights into various organizations' zero trust journeys Learn
about the various zero trust architectures, standards, and
frameworks
In War and Conflict in the Middle Ages, Stephen Morillo offers the
first global history of armed conflict between 540 and 1500 or as
late as 1800 CE, an age shaped by climate change and pandemics at
both ends. Examining armed conflict at all levels, and ranging
across China and the central Asian steppes to southwest Asia,
western Europe, and beyond, Morillo explores the technological,
social, cultural, and environmental determinants of warfare and the
tools and tactics used by warriors on land and at sea. Part I
explains the geographical, political, and technological rules that
shaped patterns of military activity everywhere. Part II explores
how these rules played out in various historical contexts. Armed
conflict played a central role in the making of the medieval world,
and medieval people used war and conflict to create, expand, and
defend their communities and identities. But the devastating
effects of climate change and epidemic disease continually reshaped
these communities and the nature of their conflicts. Broad in its
scope and rich in detail, War and Conflict in the Middle Ages will
be the go-to guide for students and aficionados of military
history, medieval history, and global history.

"Heartwarming... infectious ... [Morillo's The Boy Who
Reached for the Stars] is every bit the inspiration he means
it to be." –Kirkus Reviews The engineer known as the “space
mechanic” speaks to both our future and past in this breathless
memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio
Morillo’s life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic
collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee
Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her
son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will
ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor:
space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in
public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his
galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded
the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human
expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human
innovation—from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and
equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic
and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories,
reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the
stars above.

An interwoven study in many ways refreshing and original... A good
book, the first major product of one of the more vital debates in
recent early medieval scholarship. HISTORY A major re-statement of
the nature of Anglo-Norman warfare, with special emphasis on the
role of the familia regis, the King's military household. This
study of the battles waged between 1066 and 1135 by the
Anglo-Norman kings of England - William the Conqueror, William
Rufus and Henry I -is a major restatement of the nature of medieval
warfare in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Bringing together
the two major trends in recent medieval military history, the study
of military organisations and the study of campaigns, Stephen
Morillo illuminates the interrelationship of military organisation
and social and political structures and brings many new perceptions
to bear, such as the central role of the familia regis, the King's
military household. The roles of armies and castles and the normal
activities of warfare are examined to show why sieges were far more
common than pitched battles. Siege and battle tactics are analysed
in the context of social and political influences, administrative
structures and campaign patterns, and a connection is proposed in
most pre-modern warfare between government strength and infantry
quality. Dr STEPHEN MORILLOteaches at Wabash College, Indiana. He
has published numerous articles on Anglo-Norman warfare.
Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW) is recognized as an
abnormality of cardiac rhythm that manifests as supraventricular
tachycardia. Few practitioners today appreciate how much the
development of clinical cardiac electrophysiology owes to
Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. In the early 1960s, it became the
test bed for electrophysiological theory and new therapies.
Surgical electrophysiological techniques were developed, the
pathways were severed, and the patient was often left with an
entirely normal heart. This was an important first in modern
cardiology - a complete cure. The aim of the Clinical Approaches to
Tachyarryhthmias series is to update the physician, cardiologist,
and all those responsible for the the care of patients with cardiac
arrhythmias. In this volume, the authors unfold the story of WPW,
its precise diagnosis by use of electrocardiography, its successful
management and its near extinction in parts of the world reached by
modern medical technology, and the remaining challenge it
represents in pediatric medicine and in other parts of the globe.
Latest volume in the leading forum for debate on aspects of
medieval warfare. The essays in this latest edition of the Journal,
by leading experts in the field, are a witness to the flourishing
state of the subject, and provide significant contributions to
various important on-going debates and controversies. They include
wide-ranging discussions of state formation and the role of women
in medieval warfare, and an energetic argument against viewing
medieval warfare as cavalry-dominated. A trio of articles dealing
with issuesof bravery and cowardice, though based on Anglo-Saxon
and Anglo-Norman evidence, advance our knowledge of one of the
all-pervasive aspects of the military history of the middle ages.
Similarly, an experimentally-based study of theeffectiveness of
arrows against mail armor reaches conclusions that will cast light
on combat from Visigothic Spain to Crusader Outremer to
fifteenth-century Bohemia. In addition, the Journal includes
in-depth studies of Iberianwar-dogs, the naval battle of Zierikzee
at the start of the fourteenth century, and [reflecting the
editors' broad understanding of the scope of the field] the
war-related activities of Dutch magistrates at the turn of the
sixteenth century. Contributors: STEPHEN MORILLO, BERNARD S.

A unique collection of materials focused on one of the most
significant battles in European history. The Battle of Hastings is
a unique collection of materials focused on one of the most
significant battles in European history. It includes all the
primary sources for the battle, including pictorial, and seminal
accounts ofthe battle by the major historians of the last two
centuries. Stephen Morillo, in his own important piece, first sets
the scene, describing the political situation in western Europe in
the mid-eleventh century, and the events of1066. He then introduces
the sources, reviewing the perspective of their medieval authors,
and traces the history of writing about the battle. An important
companion to the sources and interpretations is the set of original
maps of the major stages of the battle, from first contact in the
early morning of 14 October 1066 to final pursuit in the late
evening darkness. Sources: WILLIAM OF POITIERS, WILLIAM OF
