Book excerpt: From the New York Times–bestselling authors, this “chilling and engrossing” nuclear-showdown thriller packs “a multi-megaton wallop” (Chicago Tribune). Originally published during the Cuban Missile Crisis, this suspenseful novel takes off as a group of American bombers—armed with a deadly payload of nuclear weapons—heads towards Moscow, their motives unknown. Suddenly, a nuclear apocalypse looms closer than it ever has, and the lives of millions depend on the high-stakes diplomacy of leaders on both sides of the divide. The basis for the classic 1964 movie starring Henry Fonda, this two-million-copy bestseller is not only a terrifying thriller, but a fascinating social commentary on Cold War politics and a look at how, in a world poised on the brink, accidents and mistakes can have catastrophic consequences. Exploring the thin line between peace and global destruction that characterized this turbulent era, it is as timely as ever—“gripping, exciting and almost unbearably fascinating” (Los Angeles Times). “Excruciatingly tense.” —The Wall Street Journal

Book excerpt: Something has gone wrong. A group of American bombers armed with nuclear weapons is streaking past the fail-safe point, beyond recall, and no one knows why. Their destination -- Moscow. In a bomb shelter beneath the White House, the calm young president turns to his Russian translator and says, "I think we are ready to talk to Premier Kruschchev." Not far away, in the War Room at the Pentagon, the secretary of defense and his aides watch with growing anxiety as the luminous blips crawl across a huge screen map. High over the Bering Strait in a large Vindicator bomber, a colonel stares in disbelief at the attack code number on his fail-safe box and wonders if it could possibly be a mistake. First published in 1962, when America was still reeling from the Cuban missle crisis, Fail-Safe reflects the apocalyptic attitude that pervaded society during the height of the Cold War, when disaster could have struck at any moment. As more countries develop nuclear capabilities and the potential for new enemies lurks on the horizon, Fail-Safe and its powerful issues continue to respond.

Book excerpt: When a cultural observation probe malfunctions and crash-lands on a pre-warp world, the S.C.E. is sent in to destroy it before the technology falls into the hands of a civilization not prepared for it. Unfortunately, when Commander Gomez and her team arrive, they find that the device has already been captured by terrorist forces who intend to reverse-engineer the technology into a weapon that will change the balance of power on their world to deadly effect!

Book excerpt: To improve the reliability of digital communications systems, an encoder/decoder was designed, constructed, and evaluated for failsafe and error correction capabilities under stationary gaussian noise conditions. It employs a random error-correcting (73,45) cyclic code in a binary erasure channel. The code is in the class of difference set cyclic codes. Discussed are trade-offs between failsafe communication and efficiency of transmission rate. Also discussed is a special threshold detection technique for error correction purposes. Included is a brief description of the experimental system and the procedures used for computer evaluation. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When preparing for clinical exams, almost all trainees focus exclusively on the content of the examination. This would be the right approach for almost any other type of examination. But knowing your content is not necessarily enough to pass a clinical examination - you also need to communicate clearly and present well under pressure. This book will take you through the ‘Fail-safe Method’ for approaching any clinical exam - whether you are a training in medicine, surgery, nursing, dentistry, physiotherapy...or any other health profession! Using the Fail-safe approach to clinical examinations will make sure that you are able to communicate and deliver the content you know with confidence. And you will be prepared to do it regardless of the circumstances. Developed by an Australian physician, the Fail-safe method will take you through the 3 clear steps, including covering topics such as: - dealing with the 'grumpy examiner', the 'brain freeze' & other exam-day 'curve balls' - how to ensure you perform at a high level (even under pressure) - avoiding common mistakes the day before your exam So, let’s begin!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wide-open landscape of Pennsylvania, Charlotte Martin and her father live a peaceful life on their farm...or so it seems. In truth, the rural locale provides the perfect front for the father-daughter NSA operatives as they expertly carry out their mission: using a high-tech computer system, they protect a team of undercover agents. Some would kill to have access to this system, and it makes Charlotte and her father prime targets. It was only a matter of time before this nightmare unexpectedly crashed down on them, and only Charlotte escaped with her life. Before Dwight Martin dies, though, he initiated the failsafe lockdown, and now Charlotte's the only one who can access the system. Writer Jake Bradford left the serene Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia for the hustle and bustle of New York to pursue his dreams and never looked back. Until now. Entrusted with his ailing grandmother's care, Jake knows he needs help -- and he can't believe his luck when a lovely young woman providentially appears on his doorstep. Charlotte creates a new persona for herself and quickly develops a bond with Jake's grandmother. But it's the connection she feels with Jake that makes it almost too easy to lose sight of her reality: she is being hunted by men who will stop at nothing to access the intelligence she protects. With time running out, can the couple find a future together, or will Charlotte's secrets tear them apart? -- page [4] of cover
