  The Coming Storm - Why water...

  Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the twenty-first century than the competition for oil or gas.
  The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead: that is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing compared to what they will do for the most vital natural resource of all.
  As both a citizen who has supported water charities and worked in the NHS and a politician who has dealt with security and economic issues, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns that are often written about separately but seldom together and provides a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.

  "Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems: The Shift towards Distributed Computing Paradigms and the Growing Role of Cloud Computing in HPC" explores the transformative impact of cloud computing on the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and the evolution of distributed computing paradigms. 
  In recent years, there has been a dramatic shift in the way computing resources are provisioned and utilized. Traditional monolithic systems have given way to distributed computing models, where processing power is distributed across multiple nodes and interconnected through networks. This paradigm shift has been driven by the growing demand for scalable, flexible, and cost-effective computing solutions. 
  This book provides a comprehensive overview of the concepts, technologies, and applications that have emerged from this transition. It delves into the fundamental principles of distributed systems, covering topics such as distributed file systems, distributed storage, distributed databases, and distributed consensus algorithms. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by distributed computing, including fault tolerance, scalability, and load balancing. 
  Whether you are a computer science student, a researcher, or a practitioner in the field of distributed systems or cloud computing, "Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems" provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the foundations, architectures, and applications of these transformative technologies. It equips you with the knowledge and tools necessary to embrace the power of distributed computing paradigms and leverage cloud computing for high-performance computing, enabling you to unlock new possibilities and drive innovation in your own projects and endeavors.

  The Genetic Lottery - Why DNA...

  This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton makes a provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal society
  
  In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health—and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society.
  
  In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society.
  
  Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.

  Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
   
   
   
  As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.
