Book Description
Mythical, historical and scientific secrets are hidden in a small prairie town, and a group of boys may be the only ones able to protect the biggest secret of all. A centuries-old organization within the tiny town of Grayson protects many secrets - from unknown scientific discoveries to the truth about the mythical island of Atlantis, along with information that ties it to historical events from around the world. Thirteen-year-old Adam McTaggart and his wise-cracking friends have always assumed that Grayson is just another boring small town on the prairie, but the destruction of a nearby town and disappearance of all of its residents forces them to believe they might also be in danger. After listening to theories from one of the many ‘unique’ townspeople, Adam and his friends set out on a quest to uncover Grayson’s mysterious past. During their investigation they find a strange network of underground tunnels along with objects that seem to come straight out of a science fiction magazine. They also discover the existence of the secret organization controlling everything that happens in Grayson, and soon the group understands that their boring small town is much more exciting than they had always believed it to be. But someone is coming, looking for an ancient power protected by the secret organization, and they are destroying towns as they draw near. Can Adam and his friends learn everything they need to know in time to protect their town, its people, and the biggest secret of all? What Readers are Saying: "...such a great story, not just for kids, but everyone. The characters are well developed and you get invested in their lives pretty quickly. Amazingly detailed and unique story! Definitely recommend this book, and I will go on to read the second one!" - Katherine "...I'm an avid reader and often get bored with the the same old stories over and over. This book was refreshing in its original plot. Was enjoyable to read." - Josh Hochman "...Excellent story / read from start to finish. good pace and characters. Best part is that there is closure at the end - even though this is a series." - Thomas DiMarino

Book Description
It has often been said that information is power. This is more true in the information age than ever. The book profiles the tools used by criminal law to protect confidential information. It deals with the essence of information, the varieties of confidential information, and the basic models for its protection within the context of the Internet and social networks. Eli Lederman examines the key prohibitions against collecting protected information, and against using, disclosing, and disseminating it without authorization. The investigation cuts across a broad subject matter to discuss and analyze key topics such as trespassing and peeping, the human body as a source of information, computer trespassing, tracking and collecting personal information in the public space, surveillance, privileged communications, espionage and state secrets, trade secrets, personal information held by others, and profiling and sexting. Infocrime will appeal to graduate and undergraduate scholars and academics in the legal arena, in law schools and schools of communication, and to practicing lawyers with an interest in legal theory and a concern for the protection of the personal realm in a world of increasingly invasive technologies.
