  Snakes have fascinated humans for centuries, evoking a mix of awe and curiosity. With their sleek, sinuous bodies and mysterious behaviors, they are often misunderstood and feared. However, as exotic pets, snakes offer a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of the animal kingdom in a way that few other pets can. This chapter aims to provide an introduction to snakes as pets, explore why they are an excellent choice for certain pet owners, and outline the key considerations before deciding to bring a snake into your home. 
  The appeal of snakes as pets has grown significantly over the years. Unlike traditional pets such as dogs or cats, snakes are relatively low-maintenance creatures that do not require constant attention. They don’t need daily walks, grooming, or feeding multiple times a day. This makes them ideal for people with busy lifestyles or those who prefer a pet that does not demand much interaction. Additionally, snakes come in a wide variety of species, each with its own unique characteristics, colors, and sizes. This diversity means that potential snake owners can find a species that matches their preferences and available space. 
  However, despite their advantages, keeping a snake is not without its challenges. They require specific care, such as the correct habitat setup, temperature control, and feeding schedule. A proper understanding of their needs is crucial to ensure the snake’s health and well-being. In this book, we will guide you through everything you need to know to become a successful snake owner, from selecting the right species to providing the ideal environment and handling your snake safely.

  Fortress London: Why we need to...

  Sam Bright

  A vividly written and timely polemic tackling the burning injustices shaping British society today. 
  ‘Intelligently written and powerfully argued.’ Paul Mason 
  ‘Witty, scathing, and entertaining.’ Danny Dorling 
  Journalist Sam Bright is a Northerner living in London. He is just one of the millions of people clinging on to the coattails of the capital, sucked in by the prospect of opportunities that the rest of the United Kingdom does not enjoy. 
  Our capital is a vast melting pot of languages, cultures, and ideas, and rightly celebrated for it. For many, though, there is no other option. The only place to access the opportunities this country offers is London. Banking, law, politics, advertising, architecture, the arts and the media are all concentrated here. It is almost impossible to reach the heights of any profession without joining the grey hoards queuing for the next tube. As the economic, political, and cultural epicentre of the country, Fortress London acts more like a renaissance city-state like Florence or Venice than the capital of a modern nation-state. And the gluttony of London, compared to the malnourishment of our regions, dramatically affects life chances in Britain. 
  Fortress London argues that to address Britain’s manifold problems, we need first to end the hegemony of its capital. Enriched by a vast array of interviews and statistics, it will examine how our individual destinies, from childhood to death, are determined by the disproportionate power of London. It will explain why regional inequality has fallen off the Left’s radar, even as the Right pays lip service to it, and it will draw on international comparisons to show where we have gone wrong and, crucially, how we can fix it. 
  Sam Bright’s clear-eyed intervention will convince you that regional inequality is the problem — and that now is the time for change. 
  Featuring exclusive interviews with: Andy Burnham, Lisa Nandy, Steve Rotheram, Aditya Chakrabortty, David Blunkett, Jess Phillips, Andrew Adonis and more… 
  In Fortress London, Sam Bright masterfully delves into the science of social disparity and the geography of opportunity, painting a vivid picture of a city that is both a beacon of hope and a fortress of inequality. The book is a top pick for anyone interested in public affairs, policy planning, and the human cost of regional inequality. 
  For fans of James O'Brien (How They Broke Britain), Chris Bryant (James and John), Grace Blakeley (Vulture Capitalism), Ian Dunt (Conspiracy Theory), and Rory Stewart (The Places In Between).

  The rise of social media has reshaped the way people connect, communicate, and consume information. Over the past two decades, digital platforms have evolved from niche online communities to global networks that influence nearly every aspect of modern life. Social media is no longer just a tool for staying in touch with friends and family—it has become a powerful force in politics, business, entertainment, and culture. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, understanding the impact of these platforms is essential.  
    
  Social media's rapid development can be traced back to the early days of the internet, when online forums and chat rooms allowed people to engage with others beyond geographical boundaries. The introduction of platforms like MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter in the early 2000s marked the beginning of a new era of digital interaction. These sites enabled users to create personal profiles, share updates, and engage in real-time conversations, setting the stage for the social media boom that followed. Today, platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn serve diverse purposes, from entertainment and networking to news dissemination and activism.  
    
  The influence of social media extends far beyond personal connections. Businesses have embraced these platforms to market products, engage with customers, and build brand identities. Political campaigns rely on social media to reach voters and shape public opinion. Activists use digital platforms to mobilize communities and raise awareness about pressing social issues. At the same time, the widespread use of social media has introduced challenges, including concerns about data privacy, misinformation, cyberbullying, and the mental health effects of constant digital engagement.

  Self-Defense - A Myth-Busting...

  A world-renowned scientist offers a much-needed analysis of what it takes to have good immune health—helping readers navigate what can really help, what is a complete myth, and why.Does orange juice help ward off colds? And how does our age affect our ability to recover from one? When it comes to immunity, are we really what we eat? Or how much we eat? We are surrounded by big questions and big claims about enhancing our immune systems, so how do we tell the fiction from the facts? And, ultimately, what can we do to reduce our chances of getting sick? World-leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis offers answers in this authoritative, highly accessible, myth-busting guide to the effects of stress, age, exercise, weight, nutrition, sleep, vaccines, and mental health on our immune health. Taking us to the cutting edge of immunology research and explaining both what we know and how we know it, Self-Defense helps readers spot phony claims and make informed choices. Davis shows us that everyone’s immune system is entirely unique, and that’s why we should be wary of one-size-fits-all “cures.” We learn how exercise, for example, has all sorts of different, even opposing, short- and long-term effects on our immune health. And while our gut microbes are vitally important, it’s unlikely that yogurt drinks can really boost your immune system to stop you getting ill. An eye-opening window into some of the astonishing possibilities for the future, when it comes to distinguishing bogus and beneficial health claims about everything from vitamin D to inflammation and cancer therapies, Davis’s book may be your best self-defense.

  Electromagnetic Theory - A Study...

  Electromagnetic theory is a fundamental branch of physics that describes the interactions between electric and magnetic fields and how they give rise to electromagnetic waves. The theory provides the foundation for understanding a wide range of physical phenomena, including the behavior of light, radio waves, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic theory is essential not only in classical physics but also in modern technological applications, such as communication systems, medical imaging, and radar. 
  The development of electromagnetic theory is rooted in the pioneering work of James Clerk Maxwell, who formulated a set of equations known as Maxwell's equations in the 19th century. These equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered by each other and by charges and currents. Maxwell's equations unify the concepts of electricity and magnetism into a single framework, revealing that light itself is an electromagnetic wave propagating through space. This groundbreaking discovery led to the realization that visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, differing only in their frequency and wavelength.
