The Marketing of Rebellion or Virtual Private Networks

The Marketing of Rebellion: Insurgents, Media, and International Activism (Cambridge Studies in Contentious Politics)

Author: Clifford Bob

How do a few Third World political movements become global causes célèbres, while most remain isolated? This book rejects dominant views that needy groups readily gain help from selfless nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Instead, they face a Darwinian struggle for scarce resources where support goes to the savviest, not the neediest. Examining Mexico's Zapatista rebels and Nigeria's Ogoni ethnic group, the book draws critical conclusions about social movements, NGOs, and "global civil society."

Virtual Private Networks

Author: Charlie Scott

This book tells you how to plan and build a virtual private network, a collection of technologies that creates secure connections or "tunnels" over regular Internet lines. It starts with general concerns like costs and configuration and continues with detailed descriptions of how to install and use useful technologies that are available for Windows NT and UNIX, such as PPTP, the Altavista Tunnel, and the Cisco PIX Firewall.
