  “A fascinating, comprehensive, and accessible exploration of life’s most fundamental questions. If you’re wondering who we are and why we’re here, this book is a great place to start.”—Mark Gober, award-winning author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and board member at the Institute of Noetic SciencesIs our physical universe actually a virtual simulation that is thought into existence by consciousness? Noted astrophysicist Bernard Haisch explores the frontiers of science, consciousness, and God, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe and what’s behind it all.Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist and whether there might be another experience awaiting you after the physical body dies? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? Without consciousness there is nothing. The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God. Authors Bernard Haisch and Marsha Sims tackle age-old metaphysical questions such as the following:Are near-death experiences real?What is the zero-point field?What kind of being could God be?Is there some place that God could have come from?How does the Big Bang figure into this?It there an afterlife, and what could it be like?What is the purpose of life?Is consciousness all there is?Is the universe a virtual reality?Why is hell impossible?

  Cyber Security – Essential principles to secure your organisation takes you through the fundamentals of cyber security, the principles that underpin it, vulnerabilities and threats, and how to defend against attacks.
  Organisations large and small experience attacks every day, from simple phishing emails to intricate, detailed operations masterminded by criminal gangs, and for every vulnerability fixed, another pops up, ripe for exploitation.
  Cyber security doesn't have to cost vast amounts of money or take a short ice age to implement. No matter the size of your organisation, improving cyber security helps protect your data and that of your clients, improving business relations and opening the door to new opportunities.
  This pocket guide will take you through the essentials of cyber security – the principles that underpin it, vulnerabilities and threats and the attackers who use them, and how to defend against them – so you can confidently develop a cyber security programme.
  Cyber Security – Essential principles to secure your organisation:
  
  - Covers the key differences between cyber and information security;
  - Explains how cyber security is increasingly mandatory and how this ties into data protection, e.g. the Data Protection Act 2018 and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation);
  - Focuses on the nature of the problem, looking at technical, physical and human threats and vulnerabilities;
  - Explores the importance of security by design;
  - Gives guidance on why security should be balanced and centralised; and
  - Introduces the concept of using standards and frameworks to manage cyber security.
  No matter the size of your organisation, cyber security is no longer optional – it is an essential component of business success and a critical defence against the risks of the information age. The only questions left are to decide when and where your journey will begin.

  Can one prove that 1 + 1 = 2? How long is the coastline of Britain? Which US president proved Pythagoras's theorem on right-angled triangles? Who originated the quadratic equation we learned at school? In how many ways can you tile your bathroom? Is there a formula for prime numbers? How often are two winning lottery numbers consecutive? Who was the witch of Agnesi? What is "the most important theorem in mathematics"? Who scratched mathematical equations on a Dublin bridge? What is a "space-filling curve"? Must all infinities be the same size?These and many other questions are answered in this book which presents eighteen "Stories" featuring famous mathematical equations and their historical development. The equations arise from geometry, arithmetic, algebra, calculus, combinatorics, number theory, and mathematical logic, and range over 4,000 years from early counting and circle measurement via Renaissance algebra to fractal geometry, and from the geometry of the ancient Greeks via the development of calculus to Boolean algebra and computing. Presented in a straightforward, intelligible, and entertaining manner, Sum Stories is written for general audiences of all ages with an interest in mathematics and its historical development.

  Affective Neuroscience - The...

  Some investigators have argued that emotions, especially animal emotions, are illusory concepts outside the realm of scientific inquiry. However, with advances in neurobiology and neuroscience, researchers are demonstrating that this position is wrong as they move closer to a lasting understanding of the biology and psychology of emotion. In Affective Neuroscience, Jaak Panksepp provides the most up-to-date information about the brain-operating systems that organize the fundamental emotional tendencies of all mammals. Presenting complex material in a readable manner, the book offers a comprehensive summary of the fundamental neural sources of human and animal feelings, as well as a conceptual framework for studying emotional systems of the brain. Panksepp approaches emotions from the perspective of basic emotion theory but does not fail to address the complex issues raised by constructionist approaches. These issues include relations to human consciousness and the psychiatric implications of this knowledge. The book includes chapters on sleep and arousal, pleasure and fear systems, the sources of rage and anger, and the neural control of sexuality, as well as the more subtle emotions related to maternal care, social loss, and playfulness. Representing a synthetic integration of vast amounts of neurobehavioral knowledge, including relevant neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurochemistry, this book will be one of the most important contributions to understanding the biology of emotions since Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
