Reproductie Al Smith, gouverneur van New York - Douglas Volk – Boeiende introductie In het overvloedige landschap van de Amerikaanse kunst van het begin van de 20e eeuw, onderscheidt het werk "Al Smith, gouverneur van New York" van Douglas Volk zich door zijn durf en diepgang. Dit portret, dat de essentie vastlegt van een invloedrijk politicus, dompelt ons onder in een tijdperk waarin politiek en kunst nauw verweven waren. Al Smith, iconische figuur van de Democratische Partij, belichaamt de aspiraties van een natie in volle verandering. De kunstdruk van dit meesterwerk maakt het niet alleen mogelijk om een belangrijk moment uit de Amerikaanse geschiedenis opnieuw te ontdekken, maar ook om de virtuositeit van een kunstenaar te waarderen die zijn onderwerp met zo'n finesse heeft vastgelegd. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De kracht van dit werk ligt in de manier waarop Volk erin slaagt realisme en expressiviteit te combineren. Elke penseelstreek lijkt de levendigheid te ademen, en onthult niet alleen de fysieke kenmerken van Al Smith, maar ook zijn charisma en betrokkenheid. De keuze van kleuren, subtiel genuanceerd, geeft het doek een sfeer die zowel plechtig als warm is. De kunstenaar speelt vakkundig met het licht, waardoor het gezicht van de gouverneur wordt benadrukt, terwijl hij een diepte creëert die de blik trekt. De achtergrond, hoewel discreet, roept de stedelijke context van New York op en benadrukt het belang van de stad in de carrière van Smith. Dit portret beperkt zich niet tot het afbeelden van een man; het vertelt een verhaal, dat van een tijdperk waarin politiek een toneel was van ideeën en passies. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed Douglas Volk, geboren in 1856, is een kunstenaar wiens werk aansluit bij de traditie van grote portretten uit de Amerikaanse kunstgeschiedenis. Opgeleid aan de Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts en beïnvloed door Europese stromingen, ontwikkelt hij een eigen stijl die traditie en moderniteit combineert. Volk onderscheidt zich door zijn vermogen niet alleen de verschijning van zijn onderwerpen vast te leggen, maar ook hun innerlijke essentie. Zijn werk heeft bijgedragen aan het verheffen van het portret tot een belangrijke kunstvorm, en hij heeft vele kunstenaars van zijn tijd geïnspireerd. Door politieke figuren, intellectuelen en kunstenaars te schilderen, heeft hij een onuitwisbare stempel gedrukt op het Amerikaanse artistieke landschap, waardoor zijn portrettenShipping Notes

A Pilgrimage Of Body and Spirit
Format: Paperback
Back in the summer of 2003, I visited a former seminary roommate in Leon, Spain. I showed up a couple of days before his wedding after backpacking through Amsterdam, Paris, London, and Madrid. While strolling together through Leon, my Spanish friend remarked that people thought I was a "Pilgrim" because of my clothing and backpack. I asked him to clarify, and he replied that Leon was on the path of the Camino Pilgrimage. Thus began my interest in the topic.
"Walk in a Relaxed Manner" was the first book I read about the Camino. It's newly published, written by a 60-year-old nun who walked the Pilgrimage around the time I was in Leon. She hit the trail with a retired priest, and this book was born from that experience. The subtitle and theme is "Life Lessons From the Camino," and each chapter is based on a way she grew due to the Pilgrimage. For example, the book's title is shared with a chapter where Sr. Rupp describes how she learned to walk slowly and thoughtfully instead of quickly and competitively. Other chapter titles include "Savor Solitude," "Deal with Disappointments," and "Live in the Now." Such topics may strike some as trite. But I found it impressive that more often than not, it was the walk's difficulties that enabled her to internalize these truths.
The author writes in a clear and readable manner. She rejoices in the high points of the Pilgrimage, and is honest about the lows as well. Each lesson is presented in a thoughtful manner, and all are applicable to everyday life. However, like many spiritual insights perhaps some sort of defining experience is required to truly own them. But reading about these truths may be a way to prepare the heart for their eventual actualization. Although a Catholic nun in the Servite Community, Sr. Rupp keeps things fairly ecumenical throughout her tale. In addition, practical advice about the Pilgrimage is sprinkled throughout the book, and a list of helpful Camino resources is included at the end. There's even an authorized website based on Joyce Rupp's name if you want more info about her.
Someday I'd like to do the El Camino Pilgrimage. I hope I don't have to wait until my sixties, but sometimes you have to let things happen in their time. If I do walk it, I'll be glad if I learn and grow half as much as Sr. Rupp did. Recommended for all travelers and pilgrims.
UPDATE 9/7/07: Well, I only had to wait until I was forty to do the Camino. On 7/14/07 I stepped off in St. Jean Pied-de-Port (France), and on 8/24/07 I walked into Santiago, Spain. After returning home to the US, I went through this book again. It was nice reading about familiar places on the Way, and also to identify with the lessons Ms. Rupp writes about. Recommended even more now that I've actually done the trek.

This book is the real deal
Format: Paperback
This book is the real deal. I found it to be eye-opening, because, despite sounding very advanced and almost next-level, the attacks accompanied by source code show how simple and effective they are in reality.
This book seemed light at first (200 pages), so I was skeptical at it's ability to really tackle advanced topics, but I will say I was very pleasantly surprised. Those two hundred pages are action packed and filled with jaw-dropping 'this is cool' moments.
My only gripe with it is that it's a little formulaic, with the social engineering being shoehorned into every attack, and maybe pushing the whole APT thing too much, like when you really want something to become 'a thing'. Do we really need to socially engineer payloads using the same formula for all of the attacks? Not even one 'ha Ked the router with boring Cisco exploits' example? I guess it wouldn't make for an entertaining book.

Best pentest book read to date
Format: Paperback
This is the best penetration testing book that I have ever read to date. There is such a depth of understanding of penetration testing that is conveyed in this book in the way that the author is able to portray highly advanced topics in a conceptually understandable way. A novice might not be able to follow the text, as it is advanced, but for anyone looking to open their mindset up to becoming a more effective penetration tester, I HIGHLY advise this book.

Worth every penny
Format: Paperback
This book is in a class of its own compared to other security and pentesting books. I would highly recommend to anyone interested or currently working in network security. Instead of simply explaining how to use common pentesting tools, Wil Allsopp explains how they work and how to write your own custom tools from the ground up. Even if you do not have a programming background, it is worth understanding how an attacker can infiltrate a "secure" network without being detected.
