Summary

This book delves into functional programming and composition techniques in JavaScript, starting with core concepts like pure functions, shared state avoidance, and higher-order functions to build modular, maintainable code. Early chapters explore the fundamentals of functional programming, immutability, and its growing influence in the JavaScript community. You'll learn essential topics such as function composition, currying, and higher-order functions, as well as advanced concepts like abstract data types, functors, and monads. The book discusses the evolution of functional programming, its role in modern software development, and addresses challenges like the software crisis and composing with classes. You'll learn essential topics like object-oriented programming, focusing on factory functions, functional mixins, and object composition. You'll also understand why traditional classes complicate composition and discover strategies for creating custom data types, lenses, and transducers. The book also covers best practices, emphasizing clean, reusable code and avoiding anti-patterns like excessive mocking. By the end, you'll be ready to apply functional programming techniques to tackle complex design challenges and write more maintainable JavaScript code.

    Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

    Cyberattacks are the ultimate geopolitical weapon of the twenty-first century. They are used to damage presidential campaigns, shut down electric grids, sway public sentiment, and cost businesses and governments alike billions of dollars. 
 
Popular culture portrays cyberattacks as unstoppable and mysterious actions taken by shadowy, unpredictable forces. 
 
They aren't. Code War: How Nations Hack, Spy, and Shape the Digital Battlefield shatters this depiction, revealing nation-state cyberattacks for what they are: calculated, measured actions to achieve state objectives. 
 
World-renowned cybersecurity expert Allie Mellen draws on her extensive experience with nation-state cyberattacks and AI threats to break down how and why nations deploy cyberattacks in their own unique ways, driven by their military doctrine, national history, and, most importantly, geopolitical strategy. 
 
Mellen deconstructs the most infamous cyberattacks of our time to reveal how and why attacks like Stuxnet, WannaCry, and NotPetya happened and how their success altered the international landscape. She juxtaposes these attacks against the brutal reality of how nations surveil, manipulate, and control their own citizens' data. 
 
An essential resource for individuals, business professionals, and government officials, Code War demonstrates how you can use this knowledge to understand and respond to the practical realities of nation-state cyberattacks.
