  As machine-learning systems grow not only more prevalent, but also more powerful, humans want to ensure that they understand us and do what we want, eliminating the possibility of catastrophic divergence. In the field of computer science, this question is known as the alignment problem. 
  In The Alignment Problem (2020), Brian Christian raises questions of safety and ethics in a world where humans are turning into machines and machines are turning into humans. He discusses tools that, through imitation, curiosity, inference, and shaping, exhibit human skills without being programmed to do so. The future of machine learning holds risks, but also great promise.

  Rumbles - A Curious History of...

  The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
   
   
   
  The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
   
   
   
  Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
   
   
   
  Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?

  We humans are messy, illogical creatures who like to imagine we’re in control—but we blithely let our biases lead us astray. In Design for Cognitive Bias, David Dylan Thomas lays bare the irrational forces that shape our everyday decisions and, inevitably, inform the experiences we craft. Once we grasp the logic powering these forces, we stand a fighting chance of confronting them, tempering them, and even harnessing them for good. Come along on a whirlwind tour of the cognitive biases that encroach on our lives and our work, and learn to start designing more consciously. 
  THIS BOOK EXPLORES: 
  • Why our brains take shortcuts—and why that matters in our work 
  • How bias influences everything from user behavior to stakeholder decision-making to team dynamics 
  • Techniques for noticing your own biases, and using them for good where you can 
  • Making more humane and conscientious products and experiences

  When I Consider Your Heavens -...

  In this thought-provoking book, Antony Latham shows how science and philosophy provide evidence for the existence of God. There was a beginning of the universe, which requires an explanation beyond itself. The exquisite fine-tuning of the physical laws necessary for life has all the hallmarks of design. Paleontology and biology show unmistakable signs of an intelligence behind life. Consciousness and free-will, inexplicable in purely physical terms, point to something beyond the material. The philosophy of beauty and morality leads us to an author of both. He argues that the universe is ‘open’—not simply the interaction of matter and energy, but a realm where miracles can happen. The evidence for the greatest miracle in history, the resurrection of Jesus, is carefully presented. 
  About the Author: 
  Antony Latham is a retired family doctor with nine years of experience working in hospitals in East Africa. He has authored books on Darwinism and the philosophy of mind, and holds a degree in Medical Law and Bioethics. Currently, he chairs the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics. He and his wife have four children and three grandchildren. They live in the Western Isles of Scotland, where he enjoys sailing and mountaineering.

  Gain practical OpenSSL skills for real-world cybersecurity challenges
  Book Description
  OpenSSL is the backbone of secure communication on the internet, trusted by developers, enterprises, and governments alike. Practical Network Security with OpenSSL equips you with the knowledge, real-world context, and hands-on skills to master OpenSSL—from its command-line tools to its C library APIs—for implementing robust, enterprise-grade cryptographic solutions.
  You’ll begin with a solid foundation in cryptographic principles and the role of OpenSSL in modern security systems. The book then guides you through practical usage, covering symmetric and asymmetric encryption, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and secure communications. Real-world examples and C code snippets help you confidently apply OpenSSL in standalone applications, enterprise-grade solutions, and hardware-based security environments such as HSMs and TPMs.
  By the end of this book, you’ll have the expertise to confidently use OpenSSL for designing, implementing, and managing cryptographic solutions across various domains. Whether you're securing financial transactions, IoT networks, or enterprise authentication systems, you’ll be equipped with the tools and knowledge to build secure, future-ready applications. Don’t get left behind—secure your systems like the pros do with OpenSSL mastery.

  "Java Web Development: Java Unleashed: Crafting Enterprise-Level Solutions," is one comprehensive book that will give the developers the education for building solid, high performance Java web applications that are good enough to stand in an enterprise level. 
  Comprehensive covering of the book has essential and advanced information with regards to Java web development, from fundamental concepts into advanced frameworks Spring Boot, Hibernate. Bibliophile will learn how to build applications that are functional, scalable, secure, and maintainable-like that produced by industry standards. 
  With each chapter, the hard subject matter proves to be feasible pieces a reader can understand, making it with Java Servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP), or in the creation of a RESTful API, concurrency, and databases all found within code. 
  Beyond this, the text is advancing on a study in the context of MVC architecture and session management of multiple web technologies applied after layer of another enterprise application development. 
  The book "Java Web Development" is designed to be armed with tools to approach common modern problems of web applications in improvement of performance, security improvement, and implementation best practices with real examples and case studies taken from reality. 
  This book is for medium-to-aces Java developers that would serve as a great learning tool and lasting reference for building and deploying their Java applications with confidence on scalability in the future of growth and technological advances. The guide would help develop improved skills and be even more actively working on a constantly changing enterprise solution in Java.
