  Infectious disease is a moving target: new diseases emerge every year, old diseases evolve into new forms, and ecological and socioeconomic upheavals change the transmission pathways that spread disease. But where does disease come from? How is it transmitted from one person to another? And why are some individuals more susceptible than others? 
   
   
   
  In this Very Short Introduction, Marta Wayne and Benjamin Bolker address these questions through the lenses of ecology and evolution. Assessing the management of outbreaks of diseases such as influenza, HIV/AIDS, cholera, and COVID-19, they provide specific examples to illustrate why major diseases still threaten populations all over the world.

  "Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems: The Shift towards Distributed Computing Paradigms and the Growing Role of Cloud Computing in HPC" explores the transformative impact of cloud computing on the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and the evolution of distributed computing paradigms. 
  In recent years, there has been a dramatic shift in the way computing resources are provisioned and utilized. Traditional monolithic systems have given way to distributed computing models, where processing power is distributed across multiple nodes and interconnected through networks. This paradigm shift has been driven by the growing demand for scalable, flexible, and cost-effective computing solutions. 
  This book provides a comprehensive overview of the concepts, technologies, and applications that have emerged from this transition. It delves into the fundamental principles of distributed systems, covering topics such as distributed file systems, distributed storage, distributed databases, and distributed consensus algorithms. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by distributed computing, including fault tolerance, scalability, and load balancing. 
  Whether you are a computer science student, a researcher, or a practitioner in the field of distributed systems or cloud computing, "Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems" provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the foundations, architectures, and applications of these transformative technologies. It equips you with the knowledge and tools necessary to embrace the power of distributed computing paradigms and leverage cloud computing for high-performance computing, enabling you to unlock new possibilities and drive innovation in your own projects and endeavors.

  The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.

  Why AI Undermines Democracy and...

  Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
   
     
   
  In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
   
    
   
  Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.
