Sinopsis

"Modem Breakthrough" chronicles the revolutionary journey of a technology that fundamentally changed how computers communicate, beginning with Bell Labs' groundbreaking innovation in 1958. This comprehensive exploration weaves together the technical evolution of modems, their profound social impact, and the economic transformation they unleashed by democratizing internet access.

 
The narrative skillfully traces the progression from early 300-bit-per-second devices to the familiar 56k modems of the 1990s, and ultimately to modern broadband technology. The book uniquely balances technical detail with accessibility, explaining complex concepts like signal modulation and data compression in clear, practical terms.

 
Through carefully documented historical records, patents, and firsthand accounts from pioneer developers, readers gain insight into how modems transformed from specialized equipment into ubiquitous technology. The text illuminates fascinating developments, such as how early engineers solved the challenge of converting digital signals to analog for transmission over telephone lines, and the pivotal role of companies like CompuServe and AOL in shaping online services.

 
Particularly valuable is the book's examination of how modem technology influenced everything from email protocols to the World Wide Web's development. It addresses crucial standardization battles that shaped the industry while highlighting the technology's role in bridging the digital divide. The narrative demonstrates how each advancement in modem capabilities opened new possibilities for information exchange and business operations, ultimately laying the groundwork for today's interconnected world.

    In an increasingly volatile world, exemplified by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, organisations are looking at business continuity with a fresh perspective. While most organisations believe they are prepared for disruption, COVID-19 has proved otherwise. The need for business continuity has never been clearer.
    If you were hit by a cyber attack and lost the use of your IT systems, would you be able to carry on? If your business premises were forced to close, what would you do? If you were affected by unexpected staff absence, how could you reassure your customers that you can still offer them the service they expect?
    Being unprepared can lead to financial and reputational damage, which could prove disastrous. You could fail to keep up with customer demand or lose important business, or your customers could go elsewhere. Without a proper risk assessment strategy, your company directors could even face prosecution if a major incident occurs and results in loss or injury.
    An introduction to ISO 22301
    To minimise the impact of a disaster on your business, and to continue to provide essential services to your customers, you need to put in place a BCMS (business continuity management system). This pocket guide will help you understand the basics of business continuity and ISO 22301:2019, the international standard that describes the specification for a BCMS.
    It covers:
    
    - What business continuity is;
    - Key terms and definitions;
    - A brief history of business continuity management;
    - The BCMS;
    - ISO 22301 BCMS requirements; and
    - CertificationISO 22301:2019 - An introduction to a business continuity management system (BCMS) provides an easy-to-read and straightforward introduction to a BCMS that business continuity managers, compliance managers, C-suites and disaster recovery planners – or any organisation implementing, or considering implementing, an ISO 22301 BCMS – will find valuable.

    Orthopedics is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders. These disorders affect the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, and can result from trauma, wear and tear, congenital conditions, or diseases. The field of orthopedics aims to restore function, reduce pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals suffering from musculoskeletal problems. Orthopedic care encompasses both surgical and non-surgical treatments, depending on the condition and the patient’s needs. 
    The role of an orthopedic surgeon extends beyond just performing surgeries. They play a crucial part in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions, creating treatment plans, and guiding patients through recovery. Orthopedic surgeons often collaborate with physical therapists, radiologists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care. They manage conditions ranging from acute fractures and dislocations to chronic disorders like arthritis and osteoporosis. Orthopedic surgeons also handle congenital deformities, sports injuries, and complex musculoskeletal trauma. Their expertise lies not only in performing surgeries such as joint replacements and spinal surgeries but also in using advanced diagnostic tools to assess conditions accurately. 
    The history of orthopedics dates back to ancient times when early physicians attempted to treat broken bones using splints and other rudimentary methods. Over the centuries, the field has evolved, incorporating advancements in medical science, technology, and surgical techniques. In the 19th century, orthopedics began to emerge as a distinct medical specialty, with pioneers such as Hugh Owen Thomas, often referred to as the “father of orthopedics,” contributing significantly to the development of orthopedic practices.

    The Sacred Disease is a text written by Hippocrates that explores the topic of epilepsy. In this text, Hippocrates attempts to dispel the belief that epilepsy is a sacred disease caused by supernatural forces. Instead, he argues that epilepsy is a natural disease that should be treated like any other illness. This text is significant because it represents one of the earliest attempts to provide a rational explanation for a medical condition. Read in English, unabridged.

    The Second History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Second History of Man focuses mostly on bacteria and bacterial infections as the foundation, jumping off into Darwin and evolution, gin & tonics and the discovery of the first antibiotic to treat infection (and it wasn’t penicillin), visiting with those clever chaps who cook up drugs in the lab. We’ll call upon poets & poetry, celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Bobby Darin, the classical music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the tragic story of World War II, Anne Frank and the Holocaust, tuberculosis, and a few of the rich & famous who suffered from TB, travelling back in time to the Black Death which wiped out 25 percent of humans on Earth, exploring the origins of a salon and a saloon, Columbus and the Age of Discovery, the lost generations of childhood, ending with the invention of the Internet.

    The Shocking Truth about Energy...

    Energy powers every aspect of modern life. From the moment we wake up and turn on the lights to the devices we use, the transportation we rely on, and the industries that fuel our economies, energy consumption is deeply embedded in our daily existence. However, few of us stop to consider the true cost of our energy habits—both visible and hidden. While energy provides convenience and economic growth, it also carries significant environmental, social, and economic consequences that often go unnoticed.  
    One of the most overlooked aspects of energy consumption is its environmental impact. The majority of the world's energy still comes from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Burning these fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which contribute to climate change. Rising global temperatures lead to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems. Additionally, extracting and transporting fossil fuels result in deforestation, oil spills, and water contamination, all of which further degrade the planet.  
    Beyond environmental concerns, energy consumption has a direct impact on human health. Air pollution from power plants, vehicle emissions, and industrial activities causes respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and premature deaths. Communities near coal mines or oil refineries suffer from higher rates of illness due to exposure to toxic chemicals. In developing countries, millions still rely on wood, charcoal, or kerosene for cooking and heating, leading to indoor air pollution that is responsible for millions of deaths each year.
