  Energy-Efficient Computing: Designing Sustainable Systems for Performance, Power Optimization, and a Greener Digital Future delivers a comprehensive, forward-looking exploration of how modern computing systems can be engineered to balance performance demands with the urgent need for sustainability. As data centers grow, AI workloads scale, and edge devices proliferate, energy-efficient design is no longer optional—it is essential for the future of digital innovation. 
  This book provides a complete framework for understanding energy consumption across hardware, software, algorithms, and system design. From processor architectures and thermal management to power-aware scheduling, green cloud computing, and efficient AI model architectures, it equips readers with practical strategies to reduce power usage while maintaining—or even increasing—computational performance. 
  Blending theory with real-world case studies, the book highlights the principles, technologies, and engineering practices driving sustainable computing today. It examines cutting-edge trends such as low-power microarchitectures, renewable-energy-aligned data centers, intelligent workload distribution, and emerging paradigms like near-memory computing and carbon-aware AI.

  In the Name of Sharks - 1st Edition

  Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on the latest scientific research on the biology and ethology of sharks and their exceptional characteristics, this book aims to break through the barrier of prejudice and to pay homage to their true nature. Representing a last vestige of wildness, their populations are nevertheless under threat—like so many species, they have been hunted and exploited by humans. Sarano argues for a change of mindset in which we lose ourselves in the world of the other, so that each living entity, human and non-human, can take their rightful place in the broader global ecosystem.

  Wernher von Braun ( March 23, 1912 – June 16, 1977) was a German aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and a pioneer of space technology and science in the United States. 
  After World War II, von Braun was secretly moved to the US, along with roughly 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. 
  He served as director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1955, von Braun became a naturalized citizen of the United States. In 1975, von Braun received the National Medal of Science. This recording is from Dr. Von Braun's speech at the 1st Annual SOLE Symposium, September 13, 1966, in Huntsville Alabama.

  In Hack to the Future: How World Governments Relentlessly Pursue and Domesticate Hackers, veteran information security professional Emily Crose delivers a deep dive into the history of the United States government's nuanced relationship with hacker culture and the role the latter has played in the former's domestic policy and geopolitics. In the book, you'll learn about significant events that have changed the way the hacking community has been perceived by the public, the state, and other hackers. 
   
   
   
  The author explains how the US government managed to weaponize a subculture widely seen as misanthropic and awkward into a lever of geopolitical power. You'll also discover how the release of the Morris worm and the Melissa virus changed the way hackers were seen and treated in the United States; how different government agencies, including the National Security Agency and NASA, treated—and were treated by—domestic hackers; and how hacking went from being an exclusive hobby for socially awkward nerds to a substantial lever of geopolitical power in just a few decades. 
   
   
   
  Perfect for anyone with an interest in hacking, tech, infosec, and geopolitics, Hack to the Future is a must-listen for those who seek to better their understanding of the history of hacking culture and how we got to where we are today.
