    In an era dominated by big data, mastering the art of building and maintaining data-intensive applications is crucial for any technology professional. "Mastering Data-Intensive Applications: Design, Scale, and Optimization" is a comprehensive guide that delves into the architectures, technologies, and practices essential for handling massive datasets efficiently and reliably. 
    This book begins by defining what makes an application data-intensive and explores the key challenges such as scalability, reliability, efficiency, and maintainability. Readers will learn about various storage options—from traditional relational databases to innovative NoSQL solutions—and understand when and how to use them effectively. The discussion extends to data distribution techniques, including partitioning and replication, essential for building fault-tolerant systems that can scale. 
    Further chapters focus on the nuts and bolts of data-intensive operations, including indexing, search, caching, batch and stream processing, and data integration. Each topic is covered with clear explanations, practical examples, and real-world case studies to demonstrate the application of these technologies in today’s leading companies. 
    Security and compliance are not overlooked; the book provides a thorough overview of the necessary practices to keep data secure and applications compliant with global regulations. Additionally, readers are equipped with strategies for scalability and performance tuning, helping them to improve existing systems and build efficient new systems from the ground up. 
    "Mastering Data-Intensive Applications" is an invaluable resource for software engineers, system architects, data scientists, and IT managers. Whether you are looking to deepen your existing knowledge or venturing into the field of data-intensive applications for the first time, this book offers the insights and tools needed to excel in this dynamic field.

    When Robert Zubrin published his classic book The Case for Mars a quarter century ago, setting foot on the Red Planet seemed a fantasy. Today, manned exploration is certain, and as Zubrin affirms in The New World on Mars, so too is colonization. 
     
     
     
    We will settle on Mars, and with our knowledge of the planet, analyzed in depth by Dr. Zubrin, we will utilize the resources and tackle the challenges that await us. What we will we build? Populous Martian city-states producing air, water, food, power, and more. Zubrin's Martian economy will pay for necessary imports and generate income from varied enterprises, such as real estate sales—homes that are airtight and protect against cosmic space radiation, with fish-farm aquariums positioned overhead, letting in sunlight and blocking cosmic rays while providing fascinating views. Zubrin even predicts the Red Planet customs, social relations, and government that will overcome traditional forms of oppression to draw Earth immigrants. 
     
      
     
    With all of this in place, Zubrin's Red Planet will become a pressure cooker for invention, benefiting humans on Earth, Mars, and beyond. We can create this magnificent future, making life better, less fatalistic. The New World on Mars proves that there is no point killing each other over provinces and limited resources when, together, we can create planets.

    A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
    Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
    
    "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
    "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
    "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
    "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
    "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
