Summary

Water Treatment Challenges addresses the rising concern of detergent-derived chemicals contaminating municipal water. It explores how everyday detergents persist in water systems, posing threats to both human and environmental health. The book offers practical insights into advanced filtration research, bridging the gap between scientific findings and real-world water management. Readers will learn about the chemical properties of modern detergents and the efficacy of various filtration technologies, such as membrane filtration and advanced oxidation, in removing these contaminants.

The book argues that traditional water treatment methods often fall short in removing specific organic compounds found in modern detergents. It emphasizes the need for advanced filtration techniques tailored to these contaminants, as their presence can compromise water quality and impact aquatic ecosystems. For example, the text highlights how certain advanced materials can be integrated into existing filtration infrastructure to significantly improve detergent removal without complete system overhauls.

The book begins by introducing the chemical composition of detergents and their entry pathways into water sources. It then progresses to discussing the limitations of conventional water treatment plants and examining various advanced filtration methods. Finally, it explores practical implications, offering recommendations for plant upgrades, policy changes, and future research. This approach enables readers to evaluate their local water treatment facilities and advocate for improved technologies.

Advanced Cybersecurity -...

Craig Dames

In the digital age, cybersecurity has become one of the most critical aspects of both personal and organizational operations. As technology continues to evolve and more systems become interconnected, the threat landscape has grown increasingly complex. Modern cybersecurity not only addresses the protection of networks and devices but also involves safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in the face of constantly evolving threats. This chapter provides an overview of what modern cybersecurity entails and the key components that are essential to creating robust defense mechanisms.
Cybersecurity today is far more than just installing antivirus software or setting up firewalls. As cybercriminals grow more sophisticated, the need for advanced security frameworks and strategies has never been greater. The introduction of new technologies, like the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), has expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals, creating more opportunities for exploitation. Attacks now can come from anywhere, targeting not just computers but mobile devices, servers, and even connected appliances.
At its core, modern cybersecurity is about understanding the various threats and the methods used by attackers. These threats can range from malware, phishing, and ransomware to more advanced persistent threats (APTs) often launched by state-sponsored actors. The motives behind cyberattacks are diverse, from financial gain and intellectual property theft to causing widespread disruption and damage to critical infrastructure. As these threats become more varied and complex, cybersecurity professionals must constantly adapt and stay ahead of emerging risks. This has led to the creation of more advanced cybersecurity practices, including penetration testing, threat intelligence, and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.

Human Spaceflight - From Mars to...

Louis Friedman

Mars, a mysterious dust-ridden place, is most like Earth in its climate and seasons. Of all the possible destinations in space to travel, Mars is the most likely for humans to reach. According to esteemed scientist Louis Friedman, it may be the only destination outside the moon to ever see human footprints. 
 
 
 
Far from diminishing our future in space, Human Spaceflight lays out a provocative future for human space travel. The noted aerospace engineer and scientist says that human space exploration will continue well into the future, but space travel by humans will stop at Mars. Instead, nanotechnology, space sails, robotics, biomolecular engineering, and artificial intelligence will provide the vehicles of the future for an exciting evolution not just of space travel but of humankind. 
 
 
 
Friedman has worked with agencies around the globe on space exploration projects to extend human presence beyond Mars and beyond the solar system. He writes that once we accept Mars as the only viable destination for humans, our space program on planet Earth can become more exciting and more relevant. Mars, he writes, will take hundreds, even thousands, of years to settle. During that time, humans and all our supporting technologies will evolve, allowing our minds to be present throughout the universe while our bodies stay home on Earth and Mars.

Chasing Lewis's Monkeyflower -...

Elizabeth Adelman

A look at the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the plant specimens the great explorers gathered on their way—and of their amazing afterlife.Elizabeth Adelman's Chasing the Missing Monkeyflower is the two hundred-year saga of finding, losing, and finding the wild plants collected on America's first exploration west, the Lewis and Clark Expedition.Thomas Jefferson handpicked Meriwether Lewis to lead the expedition, gather notable specimens along the way, and then write the journals, with one volume to include science-worthy descriptions and classifications of the plants that Lewis collected and pressed to preserve. Not a botanist, Lewis needed help to write this part of the journals.Ambition, deceit, theft, wealth, debt, alcoholism, loss, suicide, serendipity, and stubborn persistence cross the plants' paths in Philadelphia, New York, and London. This is the first work detailing the places, practices, and times of a cavalcade of people who touched the plants. A fascinating chronicle of an unexplored byway of the great American story.
