Modern REST API Development in Go - Design performant secure and observable web APIs using Go's powerful standard library

Jesús Espino

Summary

Modern REST API Development in Go is a hands-on guide to understanding and applying REST principles using Go’s powerful standard library. In an era where interconnected systems demand robust and performant APIs, Go offers the perfect combination of simplicity, performance, and tooling to build modern backend services.This book is centered around a complete, real-world REST API project and guides you through every stage of the development process, from building HTTP handlers to applying authentication and generating OpenAPI documentation. You’ll learn to structure your application, handle persistence with common libraries like GORM and Squirrel, apply observability patterns through logging and tracing, and ensure code quality through unit and integration tests. Each concept is grounded in REST theory and backed by idiomatic Go practices, enabling you to build APIs that are not only functional but production-ready. By the end of the book, you’ll be ready to design, build, and maintain REST APIs in Go.

Gateways to the Otherworld

Philip Gardiner

Is there an answer to the most profound question mankind has been asking itself for as long as there has been consciousness: is there life after death? 
 
We discover that a technique exists with which we can all travel and journey to "other realities" that exist within us. Through the science of quantum physics, Gardiner shows that ancient man was far more advanced than we previously believed. The author actually undergoes his own experiments to prove the point. 
 
Is there a universal frequency so perfect that it allows the mind to travel into other realms? Did our ancestors know of this special harmony? How does all this relate to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement? Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm? Are there ancient methods of healing that would benefit mankind? 
 
In an all-encompassing work, the author uses the science of the day in conjunction with the most ancient of teachings, bringing them into current-day reality. Based on the best-selling book of the same name. 
 
Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.

Man Cattle and Veld

Johann Zietsman

THE book for Profitable Ranching. A Real Ranching Revolution. Cattle Breeding. Grazing Management.
Much like nature, this book is both simple and complex. The author has taken great care to create both a simple technical guide as well as a philosophic declaration about complex human and environmental nuances, all in one volume.
Those persons who see and shape the future often say that the future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed. I am confident that, several years from now many will look back upon this book, as well as the rest of Johann Zietsman's works, as foundational to the restoration of—and relationships between—man, cattle, and veld.
Zietsman puts forth a much-needed critique of man and his actions over the past century as well as personal stories as contra-example to the narratives we that have dominated the ranching world.
Achieving the ranch goal of maximum sustainable profit per hectare depends on breeding and feeding cattle (and all grazing species) as the grazers that they are. Efforts should be directed at raising cattle that are more efficient converters of forage, not on trying to make forage-reliant species into grain-efficient machines. Forces of nature created the animals we have, and their genetic potential will be brought out through non-selective grazing and proper supplementation.
Non-selective, time-controlled grazing, in which 80 to 95 percent of the mass of all grasses and forbs are utilized, thus pruning plants back to their crowns, is the process by which grasslands are improved in both plant vigor and species composition. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this last point—plant species diversity is promoted by time-controlled severe grazing events, whereas selective, take half leave half grazing is much more limited in improving species diversity, even leading to species narrowing in some circumstances.

The Expression of the Emotions...

Charles Darwin

"The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" is a seminal work by Charles Darwin, first published in 1872. In this book, Darwin explores the ways in which humans and animals express their emotions through facial expressions, body language, and vocalizations. He delves into the evolutionary origins of these expressions, suggesting that they have adaptive significance and are rooted in our shared ancestry with other species.
