  In a world where data has become one of the most valuable business assets, organizations need modern approaches to managing, scaling, and leveraging it effectively. Data Mesh introduces a revolutionary paradigm for data architecture that moves away from centralized data teams and monolithic data warehouses toward a decentralized, domain-driven approach. 
  This practical and insightful guide explains how Data Mesh transforms the way organizations think about data ownership, governance, and delivery. Instead of treating data as a byproduct of systems, Data Mesh empowers domain teams to own, manage, and serve their own data as products—creating more scalable, resilient, and agile data ecosystems.

  Mathematical Devotionals

  Mathematical Devotionals serves as a guide to connect Christianity with mathematics through a year's worth of inspirational prompts and meditations. Each devotional is self-contained, including scripture verses and an image. The devotionals fall into four categories: 
  · Mathematical connections to Christianity 
  · Semi-biographical devotionals of Christian mathematicians 
  · Devotionals based on quotes either by a mathematician or about mathematics 
  · A few devotionals using logical reasoning as a form of Christian apologetics 
  The devotionals use mathematics, statistics, computer science, and even occasionally stray into the other science areas to provide a variety of engaging connections to Christianity. The book is intended to show how mathematics and other scientific fields should be considered complementary to Christianity rather than adversarial. 
  About the Author: 
  Dale K. Hathaway has been a faculty member, department chair, and recently selected as the Associate Dean for the Martin D. Walker School of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois 
  since 1989. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Boston University. Mathematically, he has a passion for finding and presenting "Birthday Problem" connections and, as a Christian, he loves finding ways to connect his profession with his faith.

  Moonlight Elk - One Woman's Hunt...

  Christie Green learned to hunt in order to complement the food she grew in her garden. As an act of practical agency this fulfilled her needs, yet a restlessness stirred within. She longed for a life defined by something deeper than cultural norms. Could she travel beyond the supposed domain of women and venture into the wild, where men were said to prevail? 
   
   
   
  Here, hunting in the wild, the moon cycles through her, rising and falling, whispering messages from the dark side. Rather than circle the hot insistence of a masculine sun, Green begins to attune to the more elusive, mysterious murmuration of the moon. Animals and dreams, lunar partners, choreograph Green through time and space. She longs to dream, toil, live, and love at the edges of the fertile ecotones where she can withdraw inward, retreat like an animal into hiding, and then come into full, radiant view on her own terms. Green sheds the burdens of her domestic self and witnesses the animals defying reason as they walk her into their world, ambling her along, straddling night and day, waking and sleeping. Through them, definitions of gender dissolve and boundaries blur. In the process, Green eclipses western society's definitions of her as a woman, mother, lover, and entrepreneur, courageously birthing her own independence through a profound connection to the animals and the places they call home.

  The Software Engineer's...

  In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance. 
  By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions. 
  This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more. 
  This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers. 
  We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally. 
  Praise for the book 
  “From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path 
  "Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify
