In a world where it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a dominance in any sporting discipline, Fogarty has won the World Superbike Championship no fewer than four times including back-to-back wins. Carl has come a long way since the early 1980s when he used to travel to circuits as far away as Finland in a clapped-out old horsebox. But those early days were also wild and enjoyable times. Tales of hell-raising abound: staggering home at five in the morning before the Isle of Man TT was clearly not the best preparation for one of the most dangerous races in the world. This autobiography tells his tale of a working class Lancashire boy made good in one of the most dangerous and glamorous of sports.

The language of business is the language of dreams, but the language of war is the language of nightmare made real. Yet business dreams of driverless cars on intelligent roads, and of other real-time critical systems under the control of algorithmic entities, have much of war about them. Such systems, including military institutions at the tactical, operational and strategic scales, act on rapidly-shifting roadway topologies whose ‘traffic rules’ can rapidly change. War is never without both casualty and collateral damage, and realtime critical systems of any nature will inevitably partake of fog-of-war and frictional challenges almost exactly similar to those that have made warfare intractable for modern states. Into the world of Carl von Clausewitz, John Boyd, Mao Tse-Tung, Vo Nguyen Giap and Genghis Khan, come the brash, bright-eyed techies of Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Uber who forthrightly step in where a phalanx of angels has not feared to tread, but treaded badly indeed. In this book we use cutting-edge tools from information and control theories to examine canonical and idiosyncratic failure modes of real-time cognitive systems facing fog-of-war and frictional constraints. In sum, nobody ever navigates, or can navigate, the landscapes of Carl von Clausewitz unscathed.

Harvey England, a retiree age 74 who is widowed with no children, returns home from a good day meeting with and helping college students majoring in engineering. He feels very poorly and is just wondering if he should call someone when he collapses and remembers no more.Five months later he awakens, coming out of his fog (coma), in a full-service nursing care area of a large, upscale senior living community. Everyone is shocked because none of the healthcare professionals ever believed he would survive his bout with bacterial meningitis, and they were expecting his impending death. Harv works through his fog and is totally devoted to his full recuperation. Harv is a man who ran a half marathon less than a year ago, and as a decorated Vietnam Veteran of significant grit, he works on achieving his full health and strength. As he makes headway, he meets new and dear friends, Walt Schell, a formidable man who is also a Vietnam Vet like Harvey and Walt's neighbor in the Independent Living apartments of Wildstone, Tory Randall. She is a brilliant woman with a storied career as the Editor for the Boston Globe. Her wheelchair is no impediment to her prowess. Harvey then finds that his home, decorated with fine art and original Tiffany Lamps by his late wife Margaret; his 1965 Mustang convertible; his investment account which is quite sizeable due to the sale of his very successful Civil Engineering Firm; and his personal savings accounts are all gone. How did this happen to him? As he, Walt, and Tory, "The Team" as they call themselves, begin to understand what happened as they identify and focus on the primary culprits. They then use their investigative skills, courage, and persistence to determine what happened, why it occurred and by whom. They encounter danger and challenges as they seek together to restore Harvey's prior life.

This collection by the acclaimed photographer reveals the shadowy side of the City by the Bay. Following in the footsteps of classic films like The Maltese Falcon and The Lady from Shanghai, veteran photographer Fred Lyon creates images of San Francisco in high contrast with a sense of mystery. In this latest offering from the photographer of San Francisco: Portrait of a City 1940–1960, Lyon presents a darker tone, exploring the hidden corners of his native city. Images taken in the foggy night are illuminated only by streetlights, neon signs, apartment windows, and the headlights of classic cars. Sharply dressed couples stroll out for evening shows, drivers travel down steep hills, and sailors work through the night at the old Fisherman’s Wharf. In many of the photographs, the noir tone is enhanced by double exposures, elements of collage, and blurred motion. These strikingly evocative duotone images expose a view of San Francisco as only Fred Lyon could capture.
