Stables employs a vivid narrative style that interweaves personal anecdotes with clinical observations, drawing readers into the unique challenges faced by medical officers afloat. The book is a significant contribution to the genre of naval literature and medical memoirs, reflecting the complexities and innovations of naval medicine in a time of expanding maritime empires and burgeoning scientific understanding. Gordon Stables, a former naval doctor and prolific author, infuses his work with firsthand experience and a deep-seated admiration for the British Navy. His background in both medicine and literature influenced his portrayal of life at sea, as he highlighted the critical role of medical practitioners in maintaining the health of sailors, often under perilous circumstances. Stables, who embarked on numerous naval expeditions, coupled his passions for adventure and medicine, crafting a narrative that is both educational and engaging. Readers interested in historical medicine, naval history, or the interplay between life and duty will find "Medical Life in the Navy" to be an enlightening read. Stables' engaging prose not only captivates but also informs, shedding light on the often-overlooked role of medical professionals in naval history. This book is an essential addition to any scholarly collection, inviting readers to appreciate the vital contributions of medical officers in the tumultuous environment of life at sea.

    This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet.I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing.Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos.There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades.For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper.That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years?There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth.Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.

    Microservices can be a very effective approach for delivering value to your organization and to your customers. If you get them right, microservices help you to move fast, making changes to small parts of your system hundreds of times a day. But get them wrong and microservices just make everything more complicated. 
     
     
     
    In this book, technical strategist Sarah Wells provides practical, in-depth advice for moving to microservices. Having built her first microservices architecture in 2013 for the Financial Times, Sarah discusses the approaches you need to take from the start, and explains the potential traps most likely to trip you up. You'll also learn how to maintain the architecture as your systems mature while minimizing the time you spend on support and maintenance. 
     
     
     
    With this book, you will: 
     
     
     
    ● Learn the impact of microservices on software development patterns and practices 
     
     
     
    ● Identify the organizational changes you need to make to successfully build and operate this architecture 
     
     
     
    ● Determine the steps you must take before you move to microservices 
     
     
     
    ● Understand the traps to avoid when you create a microservices architecture—and learn how to recover if you fall into one

    What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor. 
     
     
     
    Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.
