    In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. ("Chuck") Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
 
 
 
The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.

    ‘A joy’ Philippe Sands‘Glorious’ David Spiegelhalter 
A fascinating, enchanting and personal look at the meaning of luck, and the way in which it has shaped our shared history and continues to inflect our day to day lives. 
What does it mean to be lucky? How might we mitigate the effects of bad luck and maximise those of good? Is there actually such a thing as ‘luck’—some force that intervenes between desire and its consummation, that impedes or hastens it? 
To answer these questions, David Flusfeder sets out on a search for the definition of luck. This quest will take him to Siberia, Versailles, the Old Testament desert; play roulette in Baden-Baden with Dostoevsky; visit a Cambridge fairground with Wittgenstein; meet the sixteenth-century poet Thomas Bastard, who challenged Fortune, and lost; find Nietzsche on the slopes of Vesuvius; learn about the pioneers of probability; the twentieth-century art investigators of chance and possibility; and the intensely personal story of his father’s good fortune in escaping war-time Poland. Starting at the British Library in London, and following the dictates of an online randomiser that decided the chapter order, Flusfeder follows in the footsteps of some victors of luck and those who were defeated by it, from ancient times to the modern day. 
Luck asks fundamental questions about the world, ourselves, our place in it. In these questions, about our relationships to fortune, to risk, to opportunity, to chance, destiny and fate, we find ourselves deciding who we are and how we might choose to live. 
‘Thrilling, intelligent and wilfully unique … I loved it’ James Runcie, author of The Great Passion 
‘Ruminative … page-turning’ TLS 
‘Fascinating … An eminently enjoyable and engrossing page-turner’ The Jewish Chronicle 
In LUCK, David Flusfeder delves into the psychology of fortune, intertwining it with elements of mathematics and theory. The book is a top pick for those interested in the social aspects of games, particularly poker, and the communication skills required to navigate them. 
For fans of Brian Klaas (Fluke), Morgan Housel (Same as Ever), Annie Jacobsen (Surprise, Kill, Vanish), Bill Perkins (Die With Zero), and Cal Newport (Slow Productivity).

    Unleash Agility and Scale with Micro Frontend Architecture.
Book Description
As modern web applications grow in complexity, micro frontend architecture offers a scalable, modular approach that helps teams work independently, accelerate delivery, and maintain long-term flexibility. Micro Frontends Architecture for Scalable Applications provides a comprehensive, hands-on guide to implementing micro frontends effectively in real-world projects.
The book starts by defining frontend and backend development, exploring what is considered a valuable architecture, and introducing various frontend architecture patterns.
Next, it dives into micro frontends and concepts like Domain-Driven Design, Decentralized Governance, and Independent Deployments. It explains how these principles enable highly observable (easy-to-monitor) micro frontends and covers in-depth discussions on integration strategies, their advantages and disadvantages.
Communication and routing are thoroughly explored, including Container Applications, State Management, and Cross-Application Communication. The book also addresses UI/UX considerations and how micro frontends interact with varying backend patterns.
The final part focuses on best practices for testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end), deployment strategies, and essential security measures. It concludes with a real-world case study and insights into the future of micro frontends—highlighting emerging trends, evolving architectures, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence.
