  Returning the Self to Nature -...

  Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
   
   
   
  Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
   
   
     
  Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
   
    
   
  Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

  The Story of Astrophysics in...

  When Neil Armstrong first set foot in the lunar dust, the Earth held its breath. That one small step forever changed our view of what was possible, sparking a dramatic expansion of humankind's cosmic awareness. When we gain a new perspective, a transformation begins, profoundly altering the understanding of the world our human experience had previously granted us. 
   
   
   
  In The Story of Astrophysics in Five Revolutions, astrophysicist Ersilia Vaudo explores five such turning points in the history of cosmology: Newton's realization that gravity governs the celestial world; Einstein's dual theories of relativity, linking space with time and gravity with acceleration; Hubble's revelation of an expanding, rather than static, universe; and the emergence of antiparticles from a mathematical equation and their implications for our cosmic evolution. 
   
   
   
  In poetic prose, Vaudo illuminates the key insights that have led us to where we stand now. At the same time, she urges us to look beyond—to be open to the transformative realizations yet to come in our ongoing quest to understand the extraordinary, and still largely mysterious, universe to which we belong.

  " The Cloud Computing Revolution: From Virtualization to Automation: Unveiling the Cloud Computing Revolution." vividly explains how cloud computing has changed the whole scenario of technology, reformed whole industries, and changed the course of information technology. It gives an overview of how cloud computing has been evolving from its initial days of virtualization to the automation era, wherein innovative technologies at the edge, AI, and serverless architecture are driving the change at a pace that has never been seen before. 
  The comprehensive book is dedicated to explaining, in five elaborated chapters, major ideas, methods, and technologies relating to cloud computing. Learn about the history and development of cloud computing; study core cloud service models: SaaS-Software as a Service, PaaS-Platform as a Service, and IaaS-Infrastructure as a Service; and learn new paradigms that continue to push the envelope regarding what can be done with the cloud. 
  It pinpoints the ways for cloud computing adoption, such as techniques of migration, optimization, and governance. It puts into view practical case studies that spot how effective cloud deployments have been across industries. 
  This book, Cloud Computing Revolution, is important for the IT professional, the corporate officer, and anyone interested in technology because it introduces various trends that are emerging and the role of cloud computing in this process of digital transformation. Whether one is a novice or highly experienced in cloud computing, this book provides the competencies and skills to approach, with confidence, the ever-evolving world of cloud computing.

  The AI-Savvy Leader - Nine Ways...

  Leaders, don't let AI get the best of you. 
   
   
   
  AI is coming fast and will affect every part of a business, including the role of the leader. And up until now, leaders have largely ceded their role in the transformation—pushing determination of strategy out to tech teams and leaving investment decisions with groups that don't have a full view of the organization. Just when responsible leadership is more imperative than ever, leaders are not stepping up to understand and execute in the new world of human-machine collaboration. A generation of AI transformation failures awaits if leaders don't connect their use of AI to their strategies. 
   
   
   
  This book helps leaders retake control of the wildly rapid deployment of AI across organizations. It outlines cleanly and concisely nine actions leaders need to take to successfully steward a transition to a more AI-centric future that will lead to growth for all—companies and workers—and avoid the kinds of mistakes that author David De Cremer has seen many early adopters already make. This is not a book about AI technology itself or the latest developments in machine learning but rather a clarion call for leaders to take their rightful place at the front of the AI revolution and lead their organization into the new world.

  Off-Earth - Ethical Questions...

  Can we do better in space than we've done here on Earth? 
   
   
   
  We've pinpointed the destination, refined the technology, designed the habitat. Are we forgetting something? A timely reminder that it's not just rocket science, this book explores the all-too-human issues raised by the prospect of settling in outer space. Accordingly, her work highlights the complex ethical challenges that accompany any other-worldly venture—questions about the environment, labor rights, and medical ethics, among others. 
   
   
   
  Any such venture, Nesvold contends, must be made on behalf of all humanity, with global input and collaboration. Off-Earth thus includes historical and contemporary examples from outside the dominant Western/US, abled, and privileged narrative of the space industry. Nesvold calls on experts in ethics, sociology, history, social justice, and law to launch a hopeful conversation about the potential ethical pitfalls of becoming a multi-planet species—and, ideally, to shed light on similar problems we presently face here on Earth. 
   
   
   
  Space settlement is rapidly becoming ever more likely. Will it look like the utopian vision of Star Trek? Or the dark future of Star Wars? Nesvold challenges us to decide.
