    In Hack to the Future: How World Governments Relentlessly Pursue and Domesticate Hackers, veteran information security professional Emily Crose delivers a deep dive into the history of the United States government's nuanced relationship with hacker culture and the role the latter has played in the former's domestic policy and geopolitics. In the book, you'll learn about significant events that have changed the way the hacking community has been perceived by the public, the state, and other hackers. 
     
     
     
    The author explains how the US government managed to weaponize a subculture widely seen as misanthropic and awkward into a lever of geopolitical power. You'll also discover how the release of the Morris worm and the Melissa virus changed the way hackers were seen and treated in the United States; how different government agencies, including the National Security Agency and NASA, treated—and were treated by—domestic hackers; and how hacking went from being an exclusive hobby for socially awkward nerds to a substantial lever of geopolitical power in just a few decades. 
     
     
     
    Perfect for anyone with an interest in hacking, tech, infosec, and geopolitics, Hack to the Future is a must-listen for those who seek to better their understanding of the history of hacking culture and how we got to where we are today.

    More than one hundred species of kingfishers brighten every continent but Antarctica. Not all are fishing birds. They range in size from the African dwarf kingfisher to the laughing kookaburra of Australia. This first book to feature North America's belted kingfisher is a lyrical story of observation, revelation, and curiosity in the presence of flowing waters. 
     
     
     
    The kingfisher—also known as the halcyon bird—is linked to the mythic origin of halcyon days, a state of happiness that Marina Richie hopes to find outside her back door in Missoula, Montana. Epiphanies and a citizen science discovery punctuate days tracking a bird that outwits at every turn. The female is more colorful than the male (unusual and puzzling) and the birds' earthen nest holes are difficult to locate. 
     
     
     
    While the heart of the drama takes place on Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula, the author's adventures in search of kingfisher kin on the lower Rio Grande, in South Africa, and in London illuminate her relationships with the birds of Montana. In the quiet of winter, she explores tribal stories of the kingfisher as messenger and helper, pivotal qualities for her quest. For all who love birds or simply seek solace in nature, Halcyon Journey is an inviting introduction to the mythic and mysterious belted kingfisher.

    As more farmers move to a regenerative approach to their farming practices, many turn to Ewan who has been farming this way for decades, providing practical answers for practical farmers through growing the greatest soil on earth. 
    Ewan, faced with a failing farm and 'empty pockets', realised that doing things the way they had always been done was what had gotten him to the point of 'farming off the cliff slowly'. Asking the question 'What is soil?' he embarked on a journey of research and trials resulting in a deep understanding of the delicate interaction of the soil, biology, nutrient, plant and ultimately health of the animal and ourselves. 
    Through observation of phenomena, study of concepts and testing Ewan finds solutions to problems that are facing farmers today - always a beneficial outcome. 'Study books and observe nature; if they do not agree, throw away the books' (Albrecht). 
    This book chronicles the pursuit of knowledge and excellence in farming - everything is connected to the soil. If the soil is failing then so is the produce and profitability. In this world of clean and green, Ewan is able to bring back the natural nitrogen cycle in the plant (nitrogen doesn't need to be from a bag) whilst growing and measuring deep carbon levels, beneficial to the water cycle as well. Nature will repair itself and this book will explain how. 
    With the patent for 'Probitas' - a product that amplifies the natural electrical potential of the earth and with his extensive knowledge of soil silicas and free aluminium, Ewan is a force that Big Ag tried to eliminate. 
    Farmers are increasingly looking to heal their land, maintain healthy and productive animals and revitalise and regenerate their farming life and enthusiasm. 
    Ewan puts complex concepts through the 'simplifier' to allow anyone to understand, linking soil-plant-animal-human health. He is often told that nobody else has their feet in the farm like he does.
