Sinopse

Footprints In Sand explores the fascinating world of ichnology, revealing how footprints and trackways offer unique insights into Earth's history, ancient ecosystems, and human migration. Trace fossils, often overlooked, provide a dynamic archive, showcasing animal behavior and ecological interactions, unlike static skeletal remains. For example, the book examines how analyzing dinosaur trackways helps us understand their locomotion and herding behavior. The book investigates reconstructing ancient ecosystems and understanding early hominin evolution. By analyzing significant footprint sites, such as Laetoli, we can unravel mysteries of bipedalism and migratory routes. The book also discusses how footprints contribute to our understanding of paleoclimate and geological changes, as footprint preservation links to specific environmental conditions. The book begins with an introduction to ichnology's basic principles, then progresses through case studies, blending geology, paleontology, archaeology, and anthropology. It emphasizes the value of footprints in understanding the past and informing future decisions, inviting readers on a journey through time.

    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.

    Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior. 
     
     
     
    Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions? 
     
     
     
    Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau's and other scientists' research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees—they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.

    Physician, do you know how to heal thyself? 
    Or are you taking care of everyone else while you continuously feel empty and exhausted?  
    For many doctors, being a physician isn’t just a profession; it’s an identity. If you’re not careful, it can be an all-consuming identity, with nothing to spare for yourself and your family. This is no way to live your life because it can lead to burnout, depression, and poor health.  
    You are a physician, but you are also YOU. You can be happy and accomplished. You just have to find your balance.  
    Balance can be challenging. Dr. Nanda knows; she’s been there. She was burned out, depleted, and had nothing left to give. She began searching for the answer to her own unhappiness, only to discover that she was the culprit.  
    Through her health battle, fighting depression, and self-discovery, she learned that she didn’t have to fix everything for everyone and that she was worthy of love and happiness without having to burn herself out in the process. She learned to love herself for who she is, not just as a physician but as a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter.  
    Now, her mission is to teach you how to do the same. This book is going to be your guide. Nanda will teach you to spot burnout in yourself and others and how to step away and prioritize YOU when you see those signs.  
    How can you take care of others unless you take care of yourself?  
    It’s time to be a Happy Physician!  
    Nanda Sekhon is a physician in El Paso, Texas. She is a medical director of a hormone clinic in her hometown. Nanda has an adventurous spirit, and she loves influencing and empowering others. Her vision is to create a world where every person knows their worth outside of their career and where physicians can give true, quality care without fear of burnout.
