The rise in extreme weather events globally serves as a stark reminder of the impacts of climate change. Floods, droughts, and heatwaves have become more frequent, affecting vulnerable populations worldwide. This book rigorously explores the scientific aspects of climate change while delivering a compelling message.
 
We delve into the intricacies of climate change causes, providing a vivid description of the natural systems sustaining Earth's climate. The book explains the harmful impacts of global warming on ecosystems, biodiversity, and human civilization. We trace the history of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, offering a roadmap for a better future.
 
A wide range of topics is discussed in detail, including the Carbon Cycle, climate change drivers, historical climate insights, atmospheric layers, the Hydrological Cycle, and future climate risks. With relevant illustrations, the book is accessible to readers beyond just academics and experts.
 
The book emphasizes the human role in making Earth's living conditions increasingly unsustainable. Activities like deforestation and industrial farming have altered natural dynamics. By retracing historical paths of civilizations and studying the role of climate change in their rise and fall, we gain a deeper understanding crucial for future action against climate change.

The Tale of Betsy Butterfly

Arthur Scott Bailey

Arthur Scott Bailey (1877 – 1949) was the author of more than forty children's books. "Mr. Bailey centered all his plots in the animal, bird and insect worlds, weaving natural history into the stories in a way that won educator's approval without arousing the suspicions of his young readers. He made it a habit to never 'write down' to children and frequently used words beyond the average juvenile vocabulary, believing that youngsters respond to the stimulus of the unfamiliar."

The Study of Mental Health - The...

Steven Johnson

We wrote this book, Statistics for Psychology, specifically to serve as a resource for schooling and instruction. After spending several decades as a teacher of behavioural statistics, the author, who became widely known for his pedagogical prowess, intended to create a textbook that would apply the most effective classroom approaches to the written page. He did this by combining the textbook with the most effective classroom approaches. To achieve this, this book employs a variety of tactics, including timely pointing and highlighting devices, strategic reviews and reminders, a focus on the most pertinent content, and timely anticipating of the student's perspective. Additionally, Evans' technique emphasizes underlying logic and intuitive conceptions rather than sophisticated mathematical formulas and proofs, and it does so within the context of an engaging writing style. This contrasts other methods, which emphasize both of these aspects. One can say that there is a healthy balance between conceptual and computational aspects across the entirety of the object. This work is suitable for students taking their first course in behavioural statistics. After experiencing this subject, the reader will be better prepared for advanced courses and direct applications. We also provide internet links to complimentary additional supplements at www.ebookslimited.com to enhance your reading experience. Teachers of behavioural statistics and their students are the intended beneficiaries of these supplements.

The Ransomware Threat Landscape...

Alan Calder

The fastest-growing malware in the world
The core functionality of ransomware is two-fold: to encrypt data and deliver the ransom message. This encryption can be relatively basic or maddeningly complex, and it might affect only a single device or a whole network.
Ransomware is the fastest-growing malware in the world. In 2015, it cost companies around the world $325 million, which rose to $5 billion by 2017 and is set to hit $20 billion in 2021. The threat of ransomware is not going to disappear, and while the number of ransomware attacks remains steady, the damage they cause is significantly increasing.  
It is the duty of all business leaders to protect their organisations and the data they rely on by doing whatever is reasonably possible to mitigate the risk posed by ransomware. To do that, though, they first need to understand the threats they are facing.
The Ransomware Threat Landscape
This book sets out clearly how ransomware works, to help business leaders better understand the strategic risks, and explores measures that can be put in place to protect the organisation. These measures are structured so that any organisation can approach them. Those with more resources and more complex environments can build them into a comprehensive system to minimise risks, while smaller organisations can secure their profiles with simpler, more straightforward implementation.
Suitable for senior directors, compliance managers, privacy managers, privacy officers, IT staff, security analysts and admin staff – in fact, all staff who use their organisation's network/online systems to perform their role – The Ransomware Threat Landscape: Prepare for, recognise and survive ransomware attacks will help readers understand the ransomware threat they face.
From basic cyber hygiene to more advanced controls, the book gives practical guidance on individual activities, introduces implementation steps organisations can take to increase their cyber resilience, and explores why cyber security is imperative. Topics covered include:

- Introduction
- About ransomware

- Basic measures

- An anti-ransomware

- The control framework
- Risk management
- Controls
- Maturity

- Basic controls
- Additional controls for larger organiations
- Advanced controls

The Mirror - Black Edition...

SFC RET WILLIAM A. STEPHENS JR.

This Audiobook collection therapeutic poetry ( Book 1 of 3 ) of his REFLECTION SERIES that marked the beginning of Stephens’ literary journey. As soon as you hear, the narrator‘s voice, an army veteran himself, his highs and his lows don’t just read words they tell the story the way it should be told . A raw reflection and survival, The Mirror: Black Edition confronts trauma, PTSD, and resilience through verse. Each poem acts as a mirror, inviting readers to confront their own scars while discovering the strength to endure. If this Audiobook can help one person in the dark or in silence, then it was worth every cent I spend creating this vision.  Thank you for taking the time to sample or purchase.  
Thank you
