Ever wanted to do a 48 Hour Film Project?

Author Michele Bousquet has been entering weekend film competitions since 2019, when her team’s debut entry Ride to Destiny took home the Audience Choice Grand Prize Award.

Since then, she’s encouraged others to join in. Whether you win a prize or produce a dud (and she candidly admits, she’s done both), the learning experience and networking opportunities are the real reward.

In this book, Bousquet imparts her team’s approach to the 48 Hour Film Project, and encourages others to give it a try. You never know, you just might make the next great short film!

Wouldn’t it be great to really understand cryptography?

There are lots of great books on cryptography, but most give either a surface understanding or are full of complex mathematical formulas. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a book that went below the surface, and explained the inner workings of cryptography in a way you could understand?

The Art and Math of Cryptography explains how symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, hashing, and random number generators work under the hood, using familiar examples and high-school level math. You’ll also learn about digital signature, digital certificates, and all the cryptography pieces that come together to make cybersecurity work.
