  A riveting thriller reminiscent of The Hot Zone, this true story dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our time—Lyme disease—and of Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered the microbe behind it, revealing his secret role in developing bug-borne biological weapons, and raising terrifying questions about the genesis of the epidemic of tick-borne diseases affecting millions of Americans today. 
   
  While on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, Kris Newby was bitten by an unseen tick. That one bite changed her life forever, pulling her into the abyss of a devastating illness that took ten doctors to diagnose and years to recover: Newby had become one of the 300,000 Americans who are afflicted with Lyme disease each year. 
  As a science writer, she was driven to understand why this disease is so misunderstood, and its patients so mistreated. This quest led her to Willy Burgdorfer, the Lyme microbe’s discoverer, who revealed that he had developed bug-borne bioweapons during the Cold War, and believed that the Lyme epidemic was started by a military experiment gone wrong. 
  In a superb, meticulous work of narrative journalism, Bitten takes readers on a journey to investigate these claims, from biological weapons facilities to interviews with biosecurity experts and microbiologists doing cutting-edge research, all the while uncovering darker truths about Willy. It also leads her to uncomfortable questions about why Lyme can be so difficult to both diagnose and treat, and why the government is so reluctant to classify chronic Lyme as a disease. 
  A gripping, infectious page-turner, Bitten will shed a terrifying new light on an epidemic that is exacting an incalculable toll on us, upending much of what we believe we know about it.

  "Java in Action: The Journey of Java: From Core Concepts to Advanced Programming," is for beginners and intermediate programmers who want to master Java. Every chapter comes with exercises and code examples that can help in building and developing problem-solving skills. 
  Right from basic concepts that act as a foundation of Java to high-level programming methods, it takes the reader through the complete journey and prepares the reader with all that would be needed to start programming applications confidently in real life. 
  In the beginning sections, it talks about OOP and some core principles of Java that focus on variables, data types, and control structures. Readers are well-oriented and acquainted with Java basics via simple explanations and working examples. 
  The subjects the book involves become more sophisticated along with this: file handling, multi-threading, structures for data, and more detailed best practices about effective coding and scalability. 
  What is impressive besides analyzing the robust standard libraries and APIs of Java is that it even throws in some valuable insights into how this language can be used for database integration, concurrent programming, and web development. 
  "Java in Action" takes readers beyond syntax so they can understand what Java can do and where it's being applied within all types of industries, so it's the perfect book for any person looking to upgrade his or her programming skills. 
  This book will be a comprehensive and very readable guide to Java's rich programming ecosystem, whether the system you are designing is small or large.

  Miner's Day

  Miner's Day is a testament to coal mining communities in the mid-twentieth century. First published by Penguin Books as a slim paperback in 1945, it married a reflective text by Britain's outstanding miner-writer, B. L. Coombes, to illustrations by the artist Isabel Alexander.
  The original text is now republished in a generous new format with a substantial introduction and the full wealth of images that Isabel Alexander made in an extended project to document people and places in the South Wales coalfield – a unique addition to the visual representation of mining communities.
  Bert Coombes in words and Isabel Alexander in images each aimed to reveal the layered reality of coal-mining communities to a distant public. They documented both work below ground and devastated environments above. They described the lives not just of working men but women, children and older people too. They saw poverty and despair but also love, hope and even humour. The South Wales they captured echoes similar communities across the world and evolving global challenges to health, work and environment. Miner's Day is as relevant now as it was in 1945.

  Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that empowers systems to learn from data and make decisions or predictions without being explicitly programmed. It represents a major shift from traditional rule-based programming to systems that adapt and improve over time. This comprehensive guide delves into the theoretical foundations, types, algorithms, tools, applications, challenges, and the future of Machine Learning. It covers supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning in detail, explains key techniques such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning, and explores real-world applications across domains like healthcare, finance, security, and robotics. Ethical concerns, bias in AI, explainability, and interpretability are also discussed, offering a well-rounded understanding of the state and direction of Machine Learning.
