Summary

This book, authored by a seasoned Senior Data Architect with 25 years of experience, aims to help you achieve proficiency in using the AWS ecosystem for data engineering. This revised edition provides updates in every chapter to cover the latest AWS services and features, takes a refreshed look at data governance, and includes a brand-new section on building modern data platforms which covers; implementing a data mesh approach, open-table formats (such as Apache Iceberg), and using DataOps for automation and observability.

You'll begin by reviewing the key concepts and essential AWS tools in a data engineer's toolkit and getting acquainted with modern data management approaches. You'll then architect a data pipeline, review raw data sources, transform the data, and learn how that transformed data is used by various data consumers. You’ll learn how to ensure strong data governance, and about populating data marts and data warehouses along with how a data lakehouse fits into the picture. After that, you'll be introduced to AWS tools for analyzing data, including those for ad-hoc SQL queries and creating visualizations. Then, you'll explore how the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used to draw new insights from data. In the final chapters, you'll discover transactional data lakes, data meshes, and how to build a cutting-edge data platform on AWS.

By the end of this AWS book, you'll be able to execute data engineering tasks and implement a data pipeline on AWS like a pro!

    Common diseases have become an integral part of the modern healthcare narrative, affecting millions of people globally. Despite medical advancements, misconceptions and myths about these conditions persist, leading to confusion, fear, and misinformation. Understanding the truth about common diseases is not only empowering but also essential for making informed decisions about personal and public health. 
Historically, diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer were often seen as inevitable consequences of aging or genetics. However, emerging research has revealed a far more nuanced picture. While genetic predispositions play a role, lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and even societal systems significantly contribute to the prevalence and severity of these conditions. For instance, unhealthy dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and chronic stress are now recognized as major contributors to many non-communicable diseases. 
One of the biggest challenges in addressing common diseases lies in separating fact from fiction. Misinformation is rampant, fueled by sensationalized media reports, outdated medical advice, and commercial interests. Claims like "sugar causes diabetes" or "fats are the enemy of heart health" oversimplify complex issues and can lead to misguided health decisions. By critically examining these narratives, we can uncover the realities that underpin these conditions and dispel harmful myths.

    The ocean is filled with scientific discoveries—and God’s presence.  For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. With engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the Bible, she asks and answers questions like:  How can Christians reconcile religion and science when the two seem opposed?  What do suffering and death teach us about the character of Jesus?  How do we care for the environment when there seems to be little hope for repair?  What do the ocean and its sea creatures, specifically, reveal about God?  In these chapters, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known. You’ll lose yourself in the shadows of an underwater labyrinth; hear spiritual wisdom from a great-grandmother coral the size of a Volkswagen Beetle; and fall in love with Porky, the pudgy porcupinefish greeting visitors at the Windjammer shipwreck. And along the way, you’ll see how the promise of restoration unfolds in both physical and spiritual ways. Rachel’s thoughtful scientific and theological insights encourage us to know the Creator of the sea and everything in it.

    Carbon Paradox The: Why We Know...

    We know the science. We know the stakes. And yet — the emissions keep rising. Why, in the face of overwhelming evidence, does humanity remain frozen between knowledge and action? 
In The Carbon Paradox, Alex Southwick delves into one of the most unsettling questions of our age: the psychological, cultural, and political forces that make climate change both undeniable and unchangeable. Through interviews with behavioral scientists, activists, economists, and ordinary citizens, Southwick explores the hidden mechanisms of denial, distraction, and disconnection that shape our collective inaction. 
But this is not a book of blame — it’s a mirror. By tracing the gap between what we know and what we do, The Carbon Paradox reveals the deeper truth: that change depends not on more information, but on reimagining who we are and what we value. 
Rigorously researched and profoundly human, The Carbon Paradox is both diagnosis and invitation — a call to break through paralysis and rediscover the will to act in a warming world.
