  Now a sprawling video game franchise, Resident Evil has kept us on the edge of our seats for decades with its tried-and-true brand of jump scares, zombie action, and biological horror. But even decades after its release, we can't stop revisiting the original's thrills, chills, and sometimes unintentional spills. 
   
    
   
  Pop culture writer and horror cinephile Philip J Reed takes dead aim at 1996's Resident Evil, the game that named and defined the genre we now call "survival horror." While examining Resident Evil's influences from the worlds of film, literature, and video games alike, Reed's love letter to horror examines how the game's groundbreaking design and its atmospheric fixed-cam cinematography work to thrill and terrify players—and why that terror may even be good for you. 
   
   
   
  Featuring a foreword from Troma Entertainment legend Lloyd Kaufman and new interviews with the game's voice actors and its live-action cast, the book serves as the master of unlocking the behind-the-scenes secrets of Resident Evil, and shows how even a game filled with the most laughable dialogue can still scare the pants off of you.

  Build high-performance, scalable, and resilient systems using Python and Kafka.
  Book Description
  Python’s simplicity and flexibility, combined with Apache Kafka’s high-throughput, fault-tolerant messaging system, make them a powerful duo for building scalable, event-driven applications. Ultimate Event-Driven Architecture with Python and Apache Kafka brings together these two technologies to help developers and architects design modern, asynchronous systems capable of handling real-time data at scale.
  The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), including its core principles, benefits, and real-world relevance. It then explores the essential components of an EDA system, guiding readers through design patterns, message flow, and architectural considerations. Security, testing, and observability are covered in depth to ensure robust and reliable systems.
  Later chapters dive into Apache Kafka concepts and demonstrate how to build and deploy practical, real-world solutions using Python. Hands-on examples and a complete use case walk-through ensure that readers can confidently apply what they’ve learned in production scenarios.
  Whether you're modernizing legacy systems or architecting from scratch, this book equips you to build event-driven systems that are scalable, resilient, and future-ready. Start your EDA journey with Python and Kafka today!

  Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

  Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
   
   
   
  Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.
