Being Present - Commanding...

Jeanine W. Turner

Survival strategies for communicating in a notification-saturated world 
 
 
 
As our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions vanishes, it's no wonder that our ability to be heard and understood—to convey our messages—is also threatened. Whether working with our teams and customers or communicating with our families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through the digital devices that get in the way of communication. And the ubiquity of digital devices means that we are often "multicommunicating," participating in multiple conversations at once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an audience requires an intentional approach. 
 
 
 
This increased strain on attention has never been more clear than during the global pandemic, when our homes suddenly accommodated both work and family life. What are our options when facing professional communications at all hours? Do we ask for the technology to be put away at the dinner table? Establish other ground rules? What about using digital communications to our advantage—how can we facilitate information-sharing in the midst of a world where we are overwhelmed with content?

Walking Wild - Hiking the length...

Jose A Neves

"A must-read for anyone who loves Kruger and adventure." - Tony Park
WALKING WILD is not your typical safari - no game drives, no cool sundowners and definitely no fences. Instead, it's 605 km of dust, sweat and unforgettable moments as an unlikely group of strangers sets out to walk the entire length of Kruger National Park. Over six stages and three years, they walked from Crooks' Corner in the far north to Malelane in the south, averaging 20 km a day with heavy backpacks and only the wild for company.
Led by two armed guides, they braved blistering heat and violent storms. At night, as hyenas nosed their tents and lionesses strolled right through camp, some slept soundly - others lay wide eyed, waiting for dawn. They drank from murky trickles in dry riverbeds, navigated thick riverine bush teeming with hippo, buffalo and crocodiles, and slowly learnt to read the bush - from the smallest antlion to the distant roar of a lion.
But Kruger's wilderness is not without its challenges. Poachers - both criminal syndicates and those in search of bushmeat - move in the shadows, rivers bring pollution from beyond its borders, and conservation battles rage on. WALKING WILD captures the magic and the madness of life on foot in one of the world's most iconic national parks. It's a story of adventure, camaraderie and deep immersion in the wild - a journey that leaves no one unchanged.
WALKING WILD is a testament to resilience, discovery and the deep connection between people and nature. If you've ever dreamt of experiencing Kruger beyond the safari vehicle, this book is your ticket to the trail.

Open Entrance to the Closed...

Eirenaeus Philalethes

There are books that speak plainly, and then there are those that conceal their truths behind veils of symbol and secrecy. An Open Entrance to the Closed Palace of the King belongs to the latter—a text written not for the casual reader, but for the seeker, the alchemist, the one who dares to unlock nature’s deepest mysteries.
Attributed to the enigmatic adept Eirenaeus Philalethes, this work stands as a beacon in the vast sea of alchemical wisdom. It does not merely outline a path; it challenges the reader to walk it, to decipher its cryptic instructions, and to undertake the great work that transforms both matter and spirit. Here, the philosopher’s stone is more than legend—it is a living reality, hidden in plain sight for those who have eyes to see.
Through allegory, paradox, and careful instruction, Philalethes invites the worthy to step beyond superficial knowledge and into the sacred chamber of true alchemical wisdom. Yet, as he warns, this entrance is not open to all. It is guarded by discipline, patience, and an unwavering desire for truth. To those who would enter with arrogance or greed, the door remains firmly shut.
Let this preface serve as both encouragement and caution. To read this book is not enough; one must contemplate it, live its lessons, and—above all—persist in the great work. For those who seek in earnest, the palace doors will unlock, revealing treasures far beyond gold or silver.
The entrance is before you. Will you dare to step inside?

Rewiring Democracy - How AI Will...

Bruce Schneier, Nathan E. Sanders

In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.
