Summary

Indigenous Science Today explores the integration of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) with Western science, arguing that this collaboration is vital for addressing complex global challenges. The book highlights the philosophical differences and practical applications of both systems, advocating for a synergistic relationship that respects cultural knowledge and promotes sustainable solutions. It emphasizes that IKS is holistic, place-based, and intergenerational, contrasting with the often reductionist approach of Western science. This integrated knowledge can be applied to environmental conservation and healthcare, offering innovative approaches that are both scientifically sound and culturally appropriate. 

 
The book examines the historical context, including the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities and the marginalization of IKS. It delves into ethical considerations such as intellectual property rights and the importance of collaborative research. Case studies illustrate successful partnerships between indigenous communities and scientists, showcasing the potential for integrating IKS into ecosystem management, traditional medicine, and climate change adaptation. 

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts of indigenous knowledge to practical applications and ethical challenges, concluding with recommendations for fostering respectful partnerships.

Ransom War - How Cyber Crime...

Max Smeets

This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
 
 
 
The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
 
 
 
Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.
