Summary

Lost Forests explores the disappearance of ancient woodlands due to climate change and human activity, revealing profound implications for our planet's ecological balance. The book examines paleobotanical evidence to understand the driving forces behind these forest extinctions, offering lessons to safeguard modern ecosystems. For example, the coal forests of the Carboniferous period provide insights into how environmental shifts can decimate entire ecosystems. The book uniquely combines paleobotanical research with ecological modeling, moving beyond simple descriptions to understand the processes driving forest change. It starts by introducing the concept of "lost forests," progresses through case studies of specific extinct forests, and then delves into the roles of climate change and human activity. Finally, it emphasizes the need for proactive measures to prevent further losses, highlighting the fragility of biodiversity and the consequences of unsustainable practices.

Breached! - Why Data Security...

Daniel J. Solove, Woodrow Hartzog

Digital connections permeate our lives—and so do data breaches. Given that we must be online for basic communication, finance, healthcare, and more, it is remarkable how difficult it is to secure our personal information. Despite the passage of many data security
laws, data breaches are increasing at a record pace. In Breached!, Daniel Solove and Woodrow Hartzog, two of the world’s leading experts on privacy and data security issues, argue that the law fails because, ironically, it focuses too much on the breach itself.

Drawing insights from many fascinating stories about data breaches, Solove and Hartzog show how major breaches could have been prevented or mitigated through better rules and often inexpensive, non-cumbersome means. They also reveal why the current law is
counterproductive. It pummels organizations that have suffered a breach but doesn’t recognize how others contribute to the breach. These outside actors include software companies that create vulnerable software, device companies that make insecure devices,
government policymakers who write regulations that increase security risks, organizations that train people to engage in risky behaviors, and more.

Although humans are the weakest link for data security, the law remains oblivious to the fact that policies and technologies are often designed with a poor understanding of human behavior. Breached! corrects this course by focusing on the human side of security. This
book sets out a holistic vision for data security law—one that holds all actors accountable, understands security broadly and in relationship to privacy, looks to prevention and mitigation rather than reaction, and is designed with people in mind. The book closes with
a roadmap for how we can reboot law and policy surrounding data security.
