  The Blue Revolution - Hunting...

  Overfishing. For the world's oceans, it's long been a worrisome problem with few answers. But as older fishing fleets retire and new technologies develop, a better, more sustainable way to farm this popular protein has emerged to profoundly shift the balance. The Blue Revolution tells the story of the recent transformation of commercial fishing: an encouraging change from maximizing volume through unrestrained wild hunting to maximizing value through controlled harvesting and farming. 
   
   
   
  Nicholas P. Sullivan presents this new way of thinking about fish, food, and oceans by profiling the people and policies transforming an aging industry into one that is "post-industrial"—fueled by "sea-foodies" and locavores interested in sustainable, traceable, quality seafood. He discusses the global challenges to preserving healthy oceans, including conservation mechanisms, the impact of climate change, and unregulated and criminal fishing in international waters. 
   
   
   
  In a fast-growing world where more people are eating more fish than ever before, The Blue Revolution brings encouraging news for conservationists and seafood lovers about the transformation of an industry historically averse to change, and it presents fresh inspiration for entrepreneurs and investors eager for new opportunities in a blue-green economy.

  Group Theory

  By many expert mathematicians, group theory is often addressed as a central part of mathematics. It finds its origins in geometry, since geometry describes groups in a detailed manner. The theory of polynomial equations also describes the procedure and principals of associating a finite group with any polynomial equation. This association is done in such a way that makes the group to encode information that can be used to solve the equations. This equation theory was developed by Galois. Finite group theory faced a number of changes in near past times as a result of classification of finite simple groups. The most important theorem when practicing group theory is theorem by Jordan holder. This theorem shows how any finite group is a combination of multiple finite simple groups. 
  Group theory is a term that is mainly used fields related to mathematics such as algebraic calculations. In abstract algebra, groups are referred as algebraic structures. Other terms of algebraic theories, such as rings, fields and vector spaces are also seen as group. Of course with some additional operations and axioms, mathematicians accept them as a group. The methods and procedures of group theory effect many parts and concepts of mathematics as well as algebra on a large scale. Linear algebraic groups and lie groups are two main branches or say categories of group theory that have advanced enough to be considered as a subject in their own perspectives. 
  Not only mathematics, group theory also finds its roots in various physical systems, especially in crystals and hydrogen atom. They might be modeled by symmetry groups. Thus it can be said that group theory possess close relations with representation theory. Principals and ideas of group theory are practically applied in the fields of physic, material science and chemistry of course. Group theory is also considered as a central key in the studies and practices of cryptography. In 2000s, more than 10000 pages were published in the time span of 1960 to 1980. These publications were a collaborative effort in order to culminating the result as a complete classification of infinite simple groups. For the practitioners and learners of mathematics or even physics the theory of groups has a great importance. Not all aspects of this theory are used in mathematics or physics. But there are some ideas and principals that help a lot as you advance to higher level mathematics, it is very same with the physics. Full application of this wide theory is not possible on a single subject anyhow. However it is partially applied in both cases, and still leaves a great influence.

  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. 
  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, NotPetya, and the Sony Pictures hack happened and how their success altered the international landscape. 
  Code War also demonstrates how individuals, business professionals, and government officials can use this knowledge to understand and respond to the practical realities of nation-state cyberattacks.

  Can Medicine be Cured?

  • 0

  A fierce, honest, elegant and often hilarious debunking of the great fallacies that drive modern medicine. 
  Seamus O'Mahony writes about the illusion of progress, the notion that more and more diseases can be 'conquered' ad infinitum. He punctures the idiocy of consumerism, the idea that healthcare can be endlessly adapted to the wishes of individuals. He excoriates the claims of Big Science, the spending of vast sums on research follies like the Human Genome Project. And he highlights one of the most dangerous errors of industrialized medicine: an over-reliance on metrics, and a neglect of things that can't easily be measured, like compassion. 
  'A deeply fascinating and rousing book' MAIL ON SUNDAY 
  'What makes this book a delightful, if unsettling read, is not just O'Mahony's scholarly and witty prose, but also his brutal honesty' THE TIMES

  Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

  When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
  Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
  Sample passages: 
  From Chapter 1 
  "Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
  From Chapter 16 
  "The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
  In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."
