Engineering Data Mesh in Azure Cloud - Implement data mesh using Microsoft Azure's Cloud Adoption Framework

Aniruddha Deswandikar

Summary

Decentralizing data and centralizing governance are practical, scalable, and modern approaches to data analytics. However, implementing a data mesh can feel like changing the engine of a moving car. Most organizations struggle to start and get caught up in the concept of data domains, spending months trying to organize domains. This is where Engineering Data Mesh in Azure Cloud can help.
The book starts by assessing your existing framework before helping you architect a practical design. As you progress, you’ll focus on the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure and the cloud-scale analytics framework, which will help you quickly set up a landing zone for your data mesh in the cloud.
The book also resolves common challenges related to the adoption and implementation of a data mesh faced by real customers. It touches on the concepts of data contracts and helps you build practical data contracts that work for your organization. The last part of the book covers some common architecture patterns used for modern analytics frameworks such as artificial intelligence (AI).
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to transform existing analytics frameworks into a streamlined data mesh using Microsoft Azure, thereby navigating challenges and implementing advanced architecture patterns for modern analytics workloads.

Navigating Life with Dementia

MD James M. Noble

Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is hard but with this book, you and your family will successfully face the challenges that these diseases present. 
 
Dementia is a very common neurological disease of aging affecting millions of people in complex ways. There are multiple forms of the dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and vascular dementia, among others, and many share features of slowly progressive and profound changes affecting memory, thinking, behavior, and personality. The disease often introduces personal and even financial strains, which can be at times hard to understand. Unfortunately, most forms of dementia have no definitive treatments to prevent, slow, or stop the progression, but there is a concerted effort in the scientific community to change this. There is a consistent hope that there will soon be a new era of scientific breakthroughs impacting dementia. Now, and in the future, patients with dementia, their friends, and their families need resources to successfully face the challenges introduced by the disease.Navigating Life with Dementia thoroughly covers the complexities of the dementias, the establishment of a diagnosis, what to expect throughout the stages of disease, and how to best anticipate and manage common problems.

Underground - Stories to...

Adrián Godás

The thrilling history of the extraction and economic control of the world's major minerals – from Antiquity to the present day: gold, copper, iron, lithium, rare earths, and more.
Why should you read this book? Mining is on the verge of regaining a central role on the global stage. As the world gradually shifts toward deglobalization and an indirect confrontation between the United States and China – while countries like Russia and India seek to assert their influence in this emerging multipolar landscape – mineral extraction is becoming ever more strategic. Meanwhile, humanity, faced with the grave threat of climate change, is undergoing an energy transition that demands (and will continue to demand) more metals than ever before. To understand the relevance of mining today, we must revisit its past. History reveals the crucial role that metals and mines have played in shaping nations' destinies – closely monitored, even in recent times like the Cold War, by governments and powerful corporations alike.
From the jungles of the Congo to the glaciers of the Canadian Arctic, from the California Gold Rush to high-altitude excavations in Argentina, and the tale of Spanish tungsten during the Third Reich, Underground is a gripping guided tour through an ancient yet largely misunderstood industry – often reduced to caricatures and oversimplifications in public discourse.
"Brilliant. Essential to understanding the relevance of mining today." Alberto Lavandeira, CEO of Atalaya Mining

Fluid Mechanics - A Very Short...

Eric Lauga

Fluid mechanics is an important branch of physics concerned with the way in which fluids, such as liquids and gases, behave when in motion and at rest. A quintessential interdisciplinary field of science, it interacts with many other scientific disciplines, from chemistry and biology to mathematics and engineering. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction presents the field of fluid mechanics by focusing on the underlying physical ideas and using everyday phenomena to demonstrate them, from dripping taps to swimming ducks. Eric Lauga shows how this set of fundamental physical concepts can be applied to a wide range of flow behaviors and highlights the role of fluid motion in both the natural and industrial worlds. This book also considers future applications of fluid mechanics in science.

The Paradox of a Smart Atomic...

Davis Truman

The risk of nuclear conflict today is at its highest point in decades. Geopolitical tensions are on the rise, and we are witnessing an unsettling increase in reckless nuclear threats and the use of nuclear blackmail. This has made the long-standing taboo against the use of nuclear weapons appear more fragile than ever before. In 2022, the famous Doomsday Clock was set to a chilling 90 seconds to midnight, marking the closest it has ever been since its inception in 1947. This unsettling moment in history underscores just how vulnerable the world has become to the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war.
In this fragile and precarious situation, it becomes even more crucial for the global community to fully grasp the profound humanitarian impact that any use of nuclear weapons would have. Whether in the case of a limited strike or a full-scale nuclear conflict, the consequences would be devastating not just for the immediate areas affected but for all of humanity and the environment. The environmental destruction, the loss of life, and the lasting psychological and societal trauma would ripple across borders, affecting every nation.
Greater awareness and a deeper understanding of these consequences are vital for mobilizing the global community to take decisive, collective action. Only through a heightened sense of urgency and responsibility can we work together to prevent the use of nuclear weapons. This awareness is also the key to advancing the cause of nuclear disarmament. Moving away from a security model based on the dangerous idea of mutually assured destruction and toward one focused on cooperation, diplomacy, and peace is not just desirable—it’s essential for ensuring the survival of humanity and the planet for future generations.
