Synopsis

"Fire-Safe Wood" explores the science and technology behind enhancing wood's fire resistance, transforming it into a viable and safe building material. It challenges the perception of wood as inherently risky by delving into innovative fire-retardant treatments.

 
Did you know that understanding the chemical processes of wood combustion is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies? Or that advancements allow wood to potentially meet, and even exceed, the fire-safety standards of other materials?

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the principles of fire science and wood combustion, then moves to categorizing various fire-retardant treatments by their effectiveness, durability, and environmental impact. Finally, it examines practical construction considerations, including design guidelines and real-world case studies.

 
This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how treated wood can be safely integrated into modern construction.

    In today’s hyper-connected world, privacy is often taken for granted—or worse, dismissed as an outdated concern. We live in an era where our personal data is treated as currency, constantly collected, analyzed, and monetized by corporations, governments, and cybercriminals alike. Every search query, online purchase, and social media interaction contributes to a vast digital profile that shapes how businesses market to us, how financial institutions assess us, and even how law enforcement monitors us. But how much do we really understand about who is collecting our data and for what purpose?  
      
    Most people assume that their digital activities are relatively private—secured by passwords, encryption, and privacy settings. Yet, the reality is far more unsettling. Companies track our browsing habits even when we’re in “incognito” mode, apps request permissions far beyond what’s necessary, and smart devices listen in on conversations, all in the name of “improving user experience.” Governments worldwide deploy mass surveillance programs under the justification of national security, while hackers exploit weak security measures to access personal and financial information. Even when we willingly share details about our lives, such as through social media, we rarely consider the long-term consequences of this exposure.  
      
    Perhaps the most alarming aspect of digital privacy erosion is how seamlessly it has integrated into our daily lives. From social media giants like Facebook and TikTok to search engines like Google, nearly every digital service we rely on operates under a business model that thrives on harvesting user data. The more these companies know about us—our habits, preferences, and even emotions—the better they can predict and manipulate our behavior. This is the foundation of surveillance capitalism, an industry built on turning our personal lives into profit.
