  If Science is to Save Us

  There has never been a time when 'following the science' has been more important for humanity. At no other point in history have we had such advanced knowledge and technology at our fingertips, nor had such astonishing capacity to determine the future of our planet. 
   
   
   
  But the decisions we must make on how science is applied belong outside the lab and should be the outcome of wide public debate. For that to happen, science needs to become part of our common culture. Science is not just for scientists: if it were, it could never save us from the multiple crises we face. For science can save us, if its innovations mesh carefully into society and its applications are channeled for the common good. 
   
   
   
  As Martin Rees argues in this expert and personal analysis of the scientific endeavor on which we all depend, we need to think globally, we need to think rationally and we need to think long-term, empowered by twenty-first-century technology but guided by values that science alone cannot provide.

  Sustainable Tech Solutions for Enterprise Scalability 
   
  The modern economy runs on technology; it is the backbone of all major businesses. From firing packets of information between customers and websites to tracking customer demographics and purchase history–every bit of information that occurs online is captured through data. As businesses scale and transactions grow, the volume of data (and the number of servers required to store it) creates an increasingly complex environment that makes managing and monitoring the overall health of your organization’s technology stack a dizzying task for even the most well-informed IT professional. 
   
  Fortunately for today’s CDOs, CTOs, CIOs, and even CFOs, the founder and CEO of Fortified, a leading database managed service provider, Ben DeBow has written End of Abundance in Tech: How IT Leaders Can Find Efficiencies to Drive Business Value. 
   
  DeBow’s patent-pending approach allows IT executives to: 
  Develop a technology environment that’s more efficientIncrease server resource productivityProvide better financial transparency into the technology costsOptimize system scalability, performance, and stabilityPotentially save millions that were previously tied up in inefficient technology practices 
   
  To determine the health, efficiency, and capacity of their systems, leaders need solutions they can act on. Yet, many technology leaders lack real insights into the health of their technology environment at the organizational level. In a refreshing shakeup of the status quo, DeBow’s book equips IT executives with actionable solutions for managing and monitoring technology health so they can maximize the efficiency of the enterprise’s entire tech stack and deliver measurable value to the bottom line.

  The Big Bang of Numbers - How to...

  Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing—no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space—could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try. 
   
   
   
  In this new mathematical origin story, mathematician and novelist Manil Suri creates a natural progression of ideas needed to design our world, starting with numbers and continuing through geometry, algebra, and beyond. He reveals the secret lives of real and imaginary numbers, teaches them to play abstract games with real-world applications, discovers unexpected patterns that connect humble lifeforms to enormous galaxies, and explores mathematical underpinnings for randomness and beauty. With evocative examples ranging from multidimensional crochet to the Mona Lisa's asymmetrical smile, as well as ingenious storytelling that helps illuminate complex concepts like infinity and relativity, The Big Bang of Numbers charts a playful, inventive course to existence. Mathematics, Suri shows, might best be understood not as something we invent to explain Nature, but as the source of all creation, whose directives Nature tries to obey as best she can.

  Finding meaning in trauma work, as a traumatized healer yourself. 
   
   
   
  The act of caregiving is physically exhausting and emotionally draining, yet caregivers describe it as rewarding and gratifying. Prolonged exposure to human suffering, however, is not without risks—caregivers report high rates of burnout and poor quality of life. 
   
   
   
  Many care providers believe that their feelings do not matter; that they should ignore their pain, brush off their trauma, wipe away their tears, and just "suck it up." Here, Omar Reda—a Libyan-born American psychiatrist who as an emergency physician and trauma counselor provided care for medical staff caring for victims of trauma—calls upon other healers to break free from cycles of secrecy, toxic stress, and silent suffering so they can continue to empower and inspire those in their care. 
   
   
   
  Filled with poignant first-person stories and clinical case studies, this book is an impassioned plea for psychosocial trauma care that prioritizes the health of both client and healer.
