  The Fourth History of Man

  MD John Bershof

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Fourth History of Man continues with virus infections where The Third History of Man left off hashing-out those specks of genetic schmutz, covering the R-naught of those naughty infectious scoundrels. Some big hitters will be considered, from polio and the famous celebrities that had it, through fifty shades of hepatitis, rabies and the hair of the dog, and the monkey business of HIV and AIDS. Leaving viruses, we’ll delve into a study of parasites, including the parasite of all parasites, Sigourney Weaver’s alien. Opening up a can-of-worms we’ll launch a nerd rumble: who would win between Weaver’s Alien and Schwarzenegger’s Predator. Other topics include the sociology of a social death preceding the actual death, the sociology of sexual cannibalism, and the sociology of colors, not just of yellow fever, but of other emotions under the rainbow, hopefully not making you feel positively blue. On the science side we’ll flip the script on the infamous Krebs cycle fleeced of the boring jargon that usually flows from the lecture hall and our road will scrutinize nuclear bombs, nuclear footballs and weapons of mass destruction, the secret of Ondine’s curse, and lessons in global warming.

  Cougars on the Cliff - One Man's...

  Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
   
   
   
  North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.

  Advanced Cybersecurity -...

  In the digital age, cybersecurity has become one of the most critical aspects of both personal and organizational operations. As technology continues to evolve and more systems become interconnected, the threat landscape has grown increasingly complex. Modern cybersecurity not only addresses the protection of networks and devices but also involves safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in the face of constantly evolving threats. This chapter provides an overview of what modern cybersecurity entails and the key components that are essential to creating robust defense mechanisms. 
  Cybersecurity today is far more than just installing antivirus software or setting up firewalls. As cybercriminals grow more sophisticated, the need for advanced security frameworks and strategies has never been greater. The introduction of new technologies, like the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), has expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals, creating more opportunities for exploitation. Attacks now can come from anywhere, targeting not just computers but mobile devices, servers, and even connected appliances. 
  At its core, modern cybersecurity is about understanding the various threats and the methods used by attackers. These threats can range from malware, phishing, and ransomware to more advanced persistent threats (APTs) often launched by state-sponsored actors. The motives behind cyberattacks are diverse, from financial gain and intellectual property theft to causing widespread disruption and damage to critical infrastructure. As these threats become more varied and complex, cybersecurity professionals must constantly adapt and stay ahead of emerging risks. This has led to the creation of more advanced cybersecurity practices, including penetration testing, threat intelligence, and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.

  Creation Care Discipleship - Why...

  Although our planet faces numerous ecological crises, including climate change, many Christians continue to view their faith as primarily a "spiritual" matter that has little relationship to the world in which we live. But Steven Bouma-Prediger contends that protecting and restoring our planet is part and parcel of what it means to be a Christian. 
   
  Making his case from Scripture, theology, and ethics and including insights from the global church, Bouma-Prediger explains why Christians must acknowledge their identity as earthkeepers and therefore embrace their calling to serve and protect their home planet and fellow creatures. To help readers put an "earthkeeping faith" into practice, he also suggests numerous practical steps that concerned believers can take to care for the planet. 
   
  Bouma-Prediger unfolds a biblical vision of earthkeeping and challenges Christians to view care for the earth as an integral part of Christian discipleship.
