Synopsis

Alfred North Whitehead (18681-1947) was an English mathematician and philosopher. He is best known as the defining figure of the philosophical school known as process philosophy, which has been applied to a variety of disciplines, including ecology, theology, education, physics, biology, economics, and psychology. He was educated at Cambridge University in England and later became a professor of philosophy at Harvard University. Early in his career Whitehead wrote primary on mathematics, logic, and physics. His most notable work is the three-volume “Principia Mathematica” which he wrote with former student Bertrand Russell, and was published in 1910-1913. His book, “Science and the Modern World,” published in 1925, is based on a series of lectures he presented in February of 1925, although with some revisions and additions.

    A clear, concise primer on the GDPRThe GDPR aims to unify data protection and ease the flow of personal data across the EU. It applies to every organisation in the world that handles EU residents' personal data.While the GDPR is not law in countries outside the EU, it is effectively part of the legislative environment for organisations that do business with the EU. This is enforced through a combination of international trade law and business pressure – after all, a partner in the EU is unlikely to want to risk engaging with a company in the US, Australia or Singapore (or anywhere else) that will put them at risk.EU GDPR – An international guide to compliance is the ideal resource for anyone wanting a clear primer on the principles of data protection and their obligations under the GDPR.A concise pocket guide, it will help you understand:- The terms and definitions used in the GDPR, including explanations;- The key requirements of the GDPR, including:- Which fines apply to which Articles;- The principles that should be applied to any collection and processing of personal data;- The Regulation's applicability;- Data subjects' rights;- Data protection impact assessments;- The data protection officer role and whether you need one;- Data breaches, and notifying supervisory authorities and data subjects; and- Obligations for international data transfers.- How to comply with the Regulation, including:- Understanding your data, and where and how it is used (e.g. Cloud suppliers, physical records);- The documentation you must maintain (such as statements of the information you collect and process, records of data subject consent, processes for protecting personal data); and- The "appropriate technical and organisational measures" you need to take to ensure compliance with the Regulation.- A full index of the Regulation, enabling you to find relevant Articles quickly and easily.Supplemental material While most of the EU GDPR's requirements are broadly unchanged in the UK GDPR, the context is quite different and will have knock-on effects. You may need to update contracts regarding EU–UK data transfers, incorporate standard contractual clauses into existing agreements, and update your policies, processes and procedural documentation as a result of these changes.  We have published a supplement that sets out specific extra or amended information for this pocket guide. Click here to download the supplement. About the authorAlan Calder is the Group CEO of GRC International Group plc, the AIM-listed company that owns IT Governance Ltd.

    Teeth have played a crucial role in the survival and adaptation of countless species throughout history. Their development and evolution provide insight into the dietary habits, environmental changes, and biological adaptations of various organisms, including humans. From primitive jawless fish to modern mammals, the transformation of teeth reflects an ongoing evolutionary process shaped by natural selection and functional necessity. 
    The earliest evidence of tooth-like structures dates back over 500 million years to the era of jawless fish. These ancient creatures possessed dermal denticles—small, tooth-like scales covering their bodies—that provided protection and may have eventually contributed to the formation of true teeth. As vertebrates evolved, the emergence of jaws revolutionized feeding strategies, allowing for more efficient food consumption and leading to the diversification of teeth in different species. 
    In early jawed fish, known as placoderms, teeth were not yet distinct from the jawbone but were integrated into it. Over time, evolutionary pressures favored the development of separate, more specialized teeth. This adaptation enabled vertebrates to exploit a wider range of food sources, leading to increased survival and reproduction. With the rise of sharks and bony fish, teeth became more complex, capable of being replaced throughout an organism’s life, a trait still seen in many species today.

    For centuries, industrialization and factory-based production have been core ingredients in economic growth, development, and innovation. This symbiotic relationship between industrialization and economic prosperity is now changing. "Megatrends"—trends within the domains of technology, economy, society, and ecology that have a global impact—are changing the ability of the manufacturing sector to serve as the engine of growth, changing traditional ideas of technological progress, and changing growth and development opportunities in both the global South and the global North. 
     
     
     
    Four megatrends are particularly worthy of note: the rise of services, digital automation technologies, globalization of production, and ecological breakdown. In this book, Jostein Hauge provides a novel analysis of how these megatrends are changing industrialization, and charts new pathways for industrial policy and global governance. He also offers a wide-ranging account of the role of technology, globalization, and ecology in shaping the world economy. The Future of the Factory shows that industrialization remains a cornerstone of economic prosperity, but that power asymmetries in the world economy create uneven opportunities for achieving economic growth, development, and industrialization.

The book is divided into thirteen chapters that cover everything from setting up a development environment to building an Angular app with TypeScript. 
    
    We start with an introduction to TypeScript and its benefits and go on to explain how TypeScript can help developers write more maintainable, scalable code and catch errors before they make it to production. The book then dives into more technical topics like basic type annotations, using the TypeScript compiler, advanced features like enums and interfaces, and manipulating types. 
    
    The book then discusses chapters on classes and control flow analysis that are particularly helpful for developers looking to build more complex applications. The book teaches by example, with numerous code examples that illustrate the main concepts and approaches towards writing TypeScript programs and codes, and finishes with a comprehensive practical example that shows step-by-step development of a modern web application using TypeScript and Angular.
