  A New York Public Library "Best Book of the Year" “The Forgotten Sense leaves us with the hope of new discoveries and new recoveries—so that we may once again revel in the glorious, fragrant world around us.”—Wall Street Journal 
  By one of the world’s leading researchers into the science of smell, a fascinating exploration of our most essential yet least understood sense—enabling us to appreciate food and drink, warning us of dangers, and even influencing who we fall in love with 
  Our sense of smell guides our lives far more than our screen-heavy, sight-privileged era would suggest. It animates our experience of food and drink, helps us access memories, and strengthens our intimacy with each other. But, long considered our most “beastly” sense, the inner workings of smell have stumped scientists for centuries. 
  Now, cognitive scientist and leading smell researcher Jonas Olofsson uncovers the sophisticated processes that drive our olfactory system, with profound implications for how we perceive the world around us. Drawing from cutting-edge original research, Olofsson shows that not only is our sense of smell extraordinarily sensitive, its process of chemical exchange shaped human evolution on its most fundamental level. 
  From the pheromones, environmental signals, and emotions we process with each breath, olfaction makes us the individuals we are. Moreover, smelling is an intellectual exercise, Olofsson argues, one that we have the remarkable capacity to strengthen and, with some effort, even regain after illness. 
  With infectious curiosity and a host of applications—from emotional health and gastronomy to literature and even politics—The Forgotten Sense is a wide-ranging and entertaining look at this most understudied function of human life.

  Ethical Hacking - Techniques and...

  Ethical hacking, often referred to as "white-hat hacking," involves the practice of intentionally probing computer systems, networks, or web applications to find and fix vulnerabilities. Unlike malicious hackers who exploit weaknesses for personal gain, ethical hackers use their skills to identify security flaws and improve an organization’s overall cybersecurity posture. The role of an ethical hacker is not only about finding vulnerabilities but also about preventing potential breaches and reducing the impact of future cyberattacks. 
  At its core, ethical hacking aims to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. With the increasing frequency of cyberattacks, ethical hackers play a critical role in the digital world, offering services to both private and public organizations. These hackers use the same techniques as cybercriminals, but their work is sanctioned and aimed at improving security rather than causing harm. 
  One of the key differences between ethical hackers and malicious hackers is the legal framework under which they operate. Ethical hackers must obtain permission from the system owners before conducting tests, ensuring that their actions are lawful. This distinguishes them from cybercriminals who may breach systems without authorization, which is illegal and punishable under law. The act of hacking without consent is a criminal offense, but ethical hackers work within a legal and controlled environment to reduce risks and vulnerabilities.

  Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility.
  You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed. You may have received complaints about accessibility problems you don't understand, with people asking for what seem like impossible fixes. Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable. You probably know you could be sued if you don't do the right thing, but you don't know how far you need to go to prevent that. And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation?
  In this audiobook, award-winning international accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell shows you how to transform your organisation to consistently and cost-efficiently create websites, mobile apps and other digital products that are usable for all of your customers.
  Inclusive Design for Organisations  gives you a clear, strategic business-aligned framework how to embed accessibility policies and processes consistently throughout your organisation, and how to measure the return on your investment.
  With insights from leading worldwide accessibility experts who have implemented these processes in their organisations, this book comes with a free library of downloadable support tools, templates, podcasts and videos to help you on your journey to accessibility maturity.
  Inclusive Design for Organisations, and its companion, Inclusive Design for Products, will help you comply with both parts of the new International Standard ISO 30071-1.

  Sound shapes our world in invisible but profound ways, and here Caspar Henderson brings his characteristic curiosity, knowledge and sense of wonder to the subject to take us on an exhilarating journey through the heard universe. 
  A Book of Noises gathers together sounds from the cosmos, the natural world, the human world, and the invented world, and contains quiet pockets of silence. From the vast sound of sand in the desert to the tuneful warble of a songbird, to the meditative resonance of a temple bell and the improvisational melodies of jazz, this is a celebration of all things auricular. 
  The preface is read by Cerys Matthews, and the rest of the book by the author
