  You reuse passwords. You click links without thinking. You accepted a connection request last week from someone you don't quite remember meeting. You have done at least one of these things in the past thirty days, and so has almost every person you know. 
   
  This book is about what happens next. 
   
  Moving Target: The Art of Online Camouflage follows Stevie Parker, a composite character built from the real experiences of people whose lives collided with cybercrime. Across twelve chapters, Stevie makes the same small, ordinary mistakes most of us make every day while real crime stories play out alongside her, sourced from FBI briefings, ransomware negotiators, fraud victims, and the criminals themselves. 
   
  This is not an IT book. This is a crime book. 
   
  The criminals in these pages are not mysterious hackers in hoodies. They are organized crime syndicates running businesses with quotas, shift changes, HR departments, and performance reviews. They have studied you longer than you have studied them. 
   
  Dean Mauro, host of Cyber Crime Junkies on YouTube, FBI InfraGard member, and VP of Growth at NetGain Technologies, has spent years sitting across from people who just found out. This book is everything he wished someone had told them before that conversation happened. 
   
  You do not need to become a cybersecurity expert. You do not need to build Fort Knox. You just need to stop being the easiest target on the street. The basics work. Camouflage works. And by the end of this book, Stevie Parker is out of range. 
   
  Now it is your turn. 
   
  Book One of The Moving Target Trilogy. Narrated by the author.

  How Glands Affect Personality

  How much of who we are is shaped by the chemistry within us? 
   
  In How Glands Affect Personality, Grace Adams introduces readers to the emerging science of the endocrine system and explores the once-revolutionary idea that the body’s internal secretions may influence growth, energy, emotion, behavior, and temperament. 
   
  Beginning with a clear definition of personality, Adams explains the difference between ordinary glands and the “ductless” glands now known as the endocrine system. She examines the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, pineal, thymus, and sex glands, describing the roles early researchers believed each played in physical development and psychological life. 
   
  The book also considers how severe glandular imbalances were associated with recognizable medical conditions, while subtler variations were thought to help explain everyday differences in appearance, mood, energy, and character. 
   
  Originally published in 1929 during the early development of endocrinology, How Glands Affect Personality offers modern listeners a fascinating look at how scientists and popular writers first attempted to connect hormones, physiology, and human behavior. 
   
  Narrated by Jonathan Guerrero, this compact work will appeal to listeners interested in medical history, psychology, endocrinology, and the development of popular science. 
   
  Publisher’s note: This audiobook is presented as a historical scientific work. Some terminology, theories, medical descriptions, and conclusions reflect the knowledge and attitudes of 1929 and should not be considered current medical guidance.

  Saving Ryan - The 30-Year...

  Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.

  The Anatomy of Deception -...

  In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
   
   
   
  The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

  ¿Y si todo lo que hemos creído sobre el sol y la salud está mal? 
  Durante años, nos han enseñado a temer al sol, a protegernos de sus rayos y a evitar la exposición. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes están desafiando esta narrativa, revelando que la luz solar, lejos de ser un enemigo, puede ser un poderoso aliado para nuestra salud. 
  En este esclarecedor libro, el autor examina rigurosamente los últimos estudios científicos sobre la exposición solar y su impacto en el cuerpo humano. A lo largo de sus páginas, se desmontan mitos profundamente arraigados y se destacan los beneficios de una adecuada exposición solar para la salud inmunológica, cardiovascular y emocional. Se exploran a fondo temas clave como la producción de vitamina D, la regulación del ritmo circadiano y el papel esencial de la melatonina y la melanina en la prevención de enfermedades. 
  El texto profundiza en las controversias que rodean el uso de protectores solares, el aumento de los casos de osteoporosis, los efectos nocivos de la luz artificial y la relación entre la exposición al sol y ciertos tipos de cáncer, todo ello basado en estudios de alta calidad y metaanálisis recientes. 
  Este volumen forma parte de una serie de cinco libros dedicados a los pilares fundamentales de la salud: la luz solar, el ayuno intermitente, los hábitos tóxicos modernos, la glucosa y los biorritmos. Una serie científica, clara y transformadora basada en la evidencia más contundente de los últimos años.
