This illustrated edition brings Muir's vivid prose to life, showcasing his deep appreciation for the natural world through rich, descriptive passages that evoke the sights and sounds of the wilderness. Muir'Äôs narrative style is both poetic and observational, rooted in the Romantic tradition, reflecting a profound connection to nature while advocating for its preservation amidst the encroaching industrialization of the late 19th century. John Muir, often revered as the "Father of the National Parks," was a Scottish-American naturalist and environmentalist whose profound love for wilderness emerged from his formative years in Scotland and later explorations across the American landscape. His experiences in the Sierra directly influenced his environmental advocacy, leading him to found the Sierra Club and significantly shape America'Äôs conservation ethos. Muir's passion for the natural world is palpable, as he offers a deeply personal journey that highlights both the beauty of the wilderness and the imperative need for its protection. This beautifully illustrated edition of "My First Summer in the Sierra" serves as both a love letter to nature and a clarion call for environmental stewardship. Modern readers'Äîand nature lovers in particular'Äîwill find resonance in Muir'Äôs reflections, making this work not only a historical account of America's wilderness but a timeless reminder of our intrinsic connection to the earth.

    Many people assert that all of reality, including life, has simply emerged as a result of natural law and circumstance. How credible is that assumption? How well does it fit with what we find? Exquisite features of apparent design are in evidence everywhere we look. Either something is responsible for all the molecular engineering of life or, it just happened and nothing is directly responsible. Which option offers the best explanation? 
    This book provides a clinician’s perspective on the evidence for design in living things. Specific scenarios are dissected from examples of real cases in clinical medicine and surgery, as well as descriptions of some of the amazing integrated systems that exist in human physiology. Read about the critical processes that must be successfully navigated at the time of birth for every individual to have any prospect of survival. Beyond that, think about thinking itself. This book is a powerful challenge to the belief that the universe, life, and conscious experience can result only from unguided, natural processes.

    We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
     
     
     
    A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.
