Sinopse

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.

    The Paris Accords, widely accepted as the key to solving today's climate crisis, set a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that's not good enough. The only way to guarantee a livable future is climate restoration, which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and entrepreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical path that will let humankind survive and thrive. 
     
     
     
    As Fiekowsky explains in Climate Restoration, this will require removing a trillion tons of excess CO2 from the atmosphere. The good news is that this task, while enormous and technically challenging, is eminently feasible. Scientists and engineers have developed four major technologies for greenhouse gas removal and storage: ocean iron fertilization; synthetic limestone manufacture; seaweed permaculture; and methane oxidation. 
     
     
     
    Fiekowsky shows that these technologies are safe and practical—and, even more remarkable, that they require little if any government funding, since they can be financed largely through existing markets. For these reasons, they have enormous promise as vehicles for achieving climate restoration. With the global climate crisis continuing to spiral out of control, the time for tough conversations about what it will really take to create a healthy future for humanity is here.

    This book looks at the weird and wonderful world of parasites, the most abundant form of life on Earth. Parasites come in all forms and sizes and inhabit every free-living organism. Parasitism is now, and always has been, a way to survive under changing environmental conditions. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, Scott Gardner, Judy Diamond, and Gabor Racz investigate how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems. 
     
     
     
    Taking listeners to the open ranges of Mongolia, the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the Andes of Bolivia, and more, the authors examine the impact parasites have on humans and other animals. Using examples of parasites from throughout the tree of life, the authors describe parasite-host relationships as diverse as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. Parasites offer clues to the evolutionary history of particular regions, and they can provide insights into the history of species interactions. Through parasites, biologists can weave together a global knowledge of the past to predict the challenges that we will face in the future. 
     
     
     
    Revealing that parasites are so much more than creepy-crawlies, this book gives up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.

    The information in this ebook on various aspects of using the Internet to your advantage is organised into 20 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line. In fact, the number of people trying to make (some extra) money online has skyrocketed over the last ten or twelve years, but especially since the Covid-19 lockdowns. 
    Not everything can be blamed on Covid-19 though. Britain, for example, has suffered twelve years of ‘austerity’ brought in by a government that seems no longer to care about the electorate. First they blamed the banking crisis; then the influx of foreign labour; then Covid; and now Brexit and the war in the Ukraine. No doubt you have heard similar excuses where you live. Anyway, the result has been exorbitant inflation and a reduction in wages, and that has led to enterprising people trying improve their situation by working online. This book is for you. I hope that it helps.

    Ancient Egypt, renowned for its monumental architecture and sophisticated culture, was also a hub of intellectual and scientific advancements. At the heart of Egyptian knowledge was a unique blend of practical experience, religious beliefs, and cultural traditions. Understanding the foundations of their knowledge requires examining the interplay between mythology, early scientific thought, and the ways this knowledge was transmitted through generations. 
    The role of religion and mythology in ancient Egypt cannot be overstated. Egyptian cosmology deeply influenced how people understood the world around them. Deities associated with creation, the afterlife, and natural phenomena shaped the Egyptians' perception of science and technology. For example, the god Thoth was believed to be the deity of wisdom, writing, and mathematics, and his influence permeated educational practices. Priests and scribes, who were often part of temple schools, acted as custodians of this sacred knowledge. Their training combined religious teachings with practical subjects like astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. 
    Early scientific thought in ancient Egypt was pragmatic rather than theoretical. Egyptians were skilled observers, and much of their knowledge arose from practical problem-solving. Whether it was calculating the Nile's flooding patterns or designing complex irrigation systems, their science emerged from the need to manage everyday challenges. For instance, their understanding of geometry developed out of the necessity to remeasure fields after the annual inundation of the Nile. Similarly, medical practices were rooted in practical observations of ailments and their treatments, blending empirical knowledge with spiritual beliefs.

    In the era of the intelligent cloud, architecture must do more than enable systems; it must verify them. The Architecture of Discipline defines how modern enterprises design environments capable of demonstrating their own integrity—continuously and at scale. Drawing on extensive leadership experience in cloud security, Zero Trust, governance, and AI oversight, Lori Higham redefines architecture as a discipline of structure and accountability, where evidence emerges as the natural outcome of design rather than the afterthought of audit. 
    This work moves fluidly between theory and reflection, rhetoric and practice. It invites the reader to question assumptions about control, trust, and automation while offering concrete mechanisms for building systems that remain accurate, accountable, and adaptive as they evolve. Here, architecture becomes both a technical craft and a philosophical inquiry: a dialogue between what is built and what can be proven. 
    Across chapters on governance, Zero Trust, responsible AI, and assurance, The Architecture of Discipline demonstrates how design becomes verification: how standards translate into automation, ethics into operational boundary, and continuity into measurable assurance. Each section balances rigorous conceptual framing with tangible architectural patterns, reinforcing that discipline in design is both method and mindset. 
    More than a manual, this is a conversation with the reader—a call to architects, engineers, and decision-makers to examine not only what they build, but how they sustain fidelity between design and outcome. In intelligent environments, integrity is not assumed; it is demonstrated through evidence. The measure of architecture is its capacity to sustain integrity through change—to analyze, constrain, and reveal the systems it governs faster than risk can erode them.
