Beastly Britain - An Animal History

Karen R. Jones

The remarkable history of Britain and its animals, told through ten iconic species Have you ever wondered why we count sheep to get to sleep? Or where the phrase "red herring" comes from? Across British history, animals have been written about in poetry, painted in oils, and even recorded in law. Loved or feared, familiar or endangered, animals are everywhere to be seen. In this enchanting study, Karen R. Jones takes a journey through the history of ten animals to show the extraordinary story of "beastly" Britain. Jones looks at animals including foxes and hedgehogs, newts and beetles, ghostly hounds, and even the Loch Ness Monster. She reveals the place of animals in British cultural identity and sheds new light on the most iconic moments of British history, from the Black Death to World War II. The story of these isles may be told by human voices, but it is fully brought to life by listening to the squawks, bellows, and howls that make Britain what it is.

Rise of the Zombie Bugs - The...

Mindy Weisberger

Zombies are all around us—insect zombies, that is. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead": armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond). 
 
 
 
With vivid description, Mindy Weisberger explains the sinister mechanics of nature's most cunning survival strategies, including the biological marvels and evolutionary intricacies behind zombie ants, mind-controlled beetles, and the fungi and viruses that reprogram their hosts' behavior. Blending scientific rigor with a flair for the macabre, Weisberger takes listeners on a global journey to uncover the dark secrets of parasitic manipulation. 
 
 
 
Her examination of these creatures seeks to answer fundamental questions of their existence: why is a bug's world full of zombies, why are arthropods so susceptible to this zombification, and could the creators of zombie bugs ever evolve to do the same to people? Perfect for fans of horror and science alike, Rise of the Zombie Bugs offers a chilling yet enlightening look at the hidden world of parasites. It's a must-listen for anyone curious about the true terrors lurking in nature's undergrowth and the unnerving beauty of evolution's darker side.

Cybersecurity in the Age of...

Dr. Daniel Glauber

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In a world where AI writes phishing emails, hides in deepfake videos, and evolves malware in milliseconds—how do we defend the digital frontier?

Cybersecurity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence is a groundbreaking guide that reveals how artificial intelligence is transforming the rules of cyber warfare—and what we must do to adapt. Written by Dr. Daniel Glauber, a veteran systems architect and cybersecurity leader with over 30 years of global experience, this book bridges the critical gap between emerging AI capabilities and the urgent need for intelligent, scalable cyber defense.

Why This Book Matters Now
From the devastating impact of the WannaCry ransomware outbreak to the rise of polymorphic malware and autonomous threat actors, cybersecurity threats have evolved faster than traditional defenses can respond. This book explores how AI changes the equation—from both sides of the battlefield.

AI is not just another tool in the defender’s arsenal—it’s reshaping how we identify, predict, and neutralize threats at scale. But it's also empowering attackers to launch sophisticated, personalized, and evasive campaigns with chilling efficiency.

What You’ll Learn
Organized into five comprehensive parts, this book delivers a clear, actionable roadmap to mastering AI-driven cybersecurity:
Foundations of AI in Security: Understand how AI and machine learning transform threat detection, incident response, and behavioral analysis.
Modern Cyber Attacks: Explore how attackers use AI to bypass defenses with deepfakes, social engineering, polymorphic malware, and autonomous scanning tools.
AI-Powered Defense Infrastructure: Learn how leading enterprises deploy intelligent threat modeling, automated security operations, and predictive analytics.
Operational & Cloud Security: Discover real-world strategies for securing networks, cloud platforms, endpoints, and applications using AI and advanced orchestration.
