Paleontology and Evolution -...

Mike Crawford

This book combo brings the prehistoric world to life through the study of ancient plants, animals, and climates. This compelling volume reveals how Earth’s long and complex history has shaped life as we know it—and how fossils, sediments, and ice cores serve as the time machines of science.
Begin with Paleobotany, the study of fossilized plants, and uncover how forests once grew where deserts now lie. Through preserved leaves, pollen, and wood, scientists reconstruct past ecosystems, trace plant evolution, and discover how vegetation adapted to shifting environments over millions of years.
Next, delve into Paleozoology, which focuses on the remains of ancient animals—from dinosaurs and mammoths to tiny marine creatures. Learn how skeletal remains, footprints, and fossilized behavior reveal evolutionary changes, predator-prey relationships, extinction events, and the rise of new species over geological time.
Finally, explore Paleoclimatology, the science of past climates. By analyzing tree rings, ice cores, and ocean sediments, researchers piece together Earth’s shifting temperatures, atmospheric conditions, and major climate events. This field is essential for understanding long-term climate cycles and their influence on both extinction and evolution.
Together, these disciplines create a vivid picture of Earth’s ancient biosphere, showing how life, land, and climate have evolved in tandem over hundreds of millions of years. Ideal for students, educators, and history-of-science enthusiasts, this volume opens a window into the deep past and its relevance to today’s environmental challenges.

Cryptography

Panos Louridas

We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
 
 
 
A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.
