The world's most populous nation and soon-to-be largest economy is rapidly turning into the planet's most efficient assassin. Unscrupulous Chinese entrepreneurs are flooding world markets with lethal products. China's perverse form of capitalism combines illegal mercantilist and protectionist weapons to pick off American industries, job by job. China's emboldened military is racing towards head-on confrontation with the U.S. Meanwhile, America's executives, politicians, and even academics remain silent about the looming threat. Now, best-selling author and noted economist Peter Navarro meticulously exposes every form of "Death by China," drawing on the latest trends and events to show a relationship spiraling out of control. Navarro reveals: How thousands of Chinese cyber dissidents are being imprisoned in "Google Gulags"; how Chinese hackers are escalating coordinated cyberattacks on U.S. defense and America's key businesses; how China's undervalued currency is damaging the U.S., Europe, and the global recovery; why American companies are discovering that the risks of operating in China are even worse than they imagined; how China is promoting nuclear proliferation in its pursuit of oil; and how the media distorts the China story--including a "Hall of Shame" of America's worst China apologists. This book doesn't just catalogue China's abuses: It presents a call to action and a survival guide for a critical juncture in America's history--and the world's.

My GoPro Hero5 Camera offers a comprehensive introduction to using the most recently released GoPro Hero camera models. All of these cameras utilise the same basic operating system and menus, but each has slightly different features, functions and possible shooting resolutions for digital images and video. It also explains how to use the GoPro Apple Watch app or the user's own voice in order to remotely control their camera, and includes a chapter about using one of the GoPro HERO5 cameras with GoPro's Karma drone. After offering an initial introduction to the cameras themselves, as well as their menus and buttons, this book offers an overview of the different camera housings and mounts available, plus explain how to utilise the GoPro mobile app and computer software. How to best use other "must have" GoPro accessories, including the Wi-Fi Remote and the LCD Touch BacPac display, for example, will also be covered. Throughout the book will be hundreds of shooting tips and strategies that teach readers how to capture the best possible photos and videos in a wide range of situations. For example, this book will offer strategies for shooting professional-quality first and third-person photos/videos, as well as traditional photos/video, plus explain ways to achieve the best possible results indoors, outdoors, underwater, in low-light situations, and in high-action situations, for example. This book will appeal to mainstream consumers who have purchased a GoPro camera to take on vacation or to capture "family moments," as well as to more active people who want to capture crystal-clear "action" images or videos of themselves engaged in various activities, using their GoPro camera in conjunction with the best combination of optional camera accessories, housings and mounts, based on their activity and the shooting conditions.

Often an afterthought in the web development process, content strategy needs to be considered front and center. If website content is out of date, off-brand, and out of control, a huge opportunity to engage, convert, and retain customers online is being missed. But creating (and caring for) "meaningful" content is far more complicated than we're often willing to acknowledge. Designing Future-Friendly Content explains how to design, plan, and structure content that can be used now and can be ready for the future.

Scott Kelby, Editor and Publisher of Photoshop User magazine-and the best-selling photography techniques author in the world today-once again takes this book to a whole new level as he uncovers more of the latest, most important, and most useful Adobe Photoshop techniques for photographers. This update to his award-winning, record-breaking book does something for digital photographers that's never been done before-it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly "how to do it.” It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure it out on your own. Instead, Scott shows you step by step the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital photographers, and best of all, he shows you flat-out exactly which settings to use, when to use them, and why. LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT The photographer's workflow in Photoshop has evolved greatly over time, and in this current version of book you'll wind up doing a lot of your processing and editing in Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw feature (whether you shoot in RAW, JPEG or TIFF-it works for all three). That's because for years now, Adobe has been adding most of Photoshop's new features for photography directly into Camera Raw itself. Since today's photography workflow in Photoshop is based around Camera Raw, about one third of this book is about mastering Camera Raw like a pro.

The author clearly explains all the theory students will need to avoid mistakes, understand what regressions are really doing, and evaluate analyses performed by others.

The book will quickly get students started using Go effectively from the beginning, and by the end, they will know how to use it well to write clear, idiomatic and efficient programs to solve real-world problems. They'll understand not just how to use its standard libraries, but how they work, and how to apply the same design techniques to their own projects.

Designed as a wide-ranging guide to Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and how to approach building them, this book covers a variety of different techniques available for DSLs. The goal is to provide readers with enough information to make an informed choice about whether or not to use a DSL and what kinds of DSL techniques to employ. Part I is a 150-page narrative overview that gives you a broad understanding of general principles. The reference material in Parts II through VI provides the details and examples you'll need to get started using the various techniques discussed. Both internal and external DSL topics are covered, in addition to alternative computational models and code generation. Although the general principles and patterns presented can be used with whatever programming language you happen to be using, most of the examples are in Java or C#.
