Sinossi

Ancient Maple Harvest explores the fascinating history and science behind maple syrup, revealing its deep roots in indigenous knowledge and sustainable harvesting practices. For centuries before European contact, indigenous peoples across North America, including the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee, skillfully transformed maple sap into a vital food source. These communities ingeniously developed techniques for tapping trees and boiling sap, understanding the precise timing and methods necessary to create syrup and sugar. This book uniquely positions indigenous innovation in maple sugaring as a significant contribution to North American foodways, often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

 
The book progresses from the botanical characteristics of maple trees to pre-colonial harvesting methods, detailing tools, timing, and processing. It then examines the impact of European colonization on indigenous practices, analyzing how trade and land dispossession altered these traditions. By drawing upon archaeological evidence, ethnographic accounts, and oral histories, Ancient Maple Harvest offers a comprehensive and accessible look at the cultural significance and environmental consciousness embedded within indigenous maple sugaring.

Cyber Security - Beginners’...

Jonathan Rigdon

To effectively defend against the threats, cybersecurity professionals employ a variety of strategies and technologies. This includes implementing robust firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor and control network traffic, deploying antivirus software to detect and remove malicious software, using encryption to secure sensitive data both in transit and at rest, and implementing strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. 
  
Additionally, cybersecurity involves ongoing monitoring and analysis of network activity to detect and respond to potential threats in real-time. This may involve the use of security information and event management (SIEM) systems, which aggregate and analyze data from various sources to identify suspicious behavior and security incidents. 
  
Furthermore, cybersecurity professionals often engage in vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify weaknesses in systems and networks before they can be exploited by attackers. This proactive approach helps organizations strengthen their defenses and reduce the risk of successful cyber attacks.

Secret Life of the City - How...

Hanna Hagen Bjørgaas

Come along on an informative, whirlwind tour of urban species and discover that you are surrounded by wild nature, even in your own backyard. 
 
 
 
When biologist Hanna Bjørgaas spots a fairy cup lichen in Antarctica, she is surprised to recognize it from her own backyard in Oslo. When she returns home, she embarks on a journey into urban nature, visiting city parks, cemeteries, and concrete rooftops to investigate the species that live in urban spaces. Along the way, she meets corvids, songbirds, ants, pigeons, bats, sparrows, fungi, and linden trees—and the experts who study their surprising abilities to survive, and thrive, in the city. 
 
 
 
As Bjørgaas discovers, urban nature—and its unique mixture of species that have never lived together before in Earth's history—is valuable. More than half of the world's human population lives in densely populated areas—and plants and animals have followed us into cities. Secret Life of the City invites us to pay more attention to the sounds, sights, and smells of urban nature right outside our door. 
 
 
 
A treasure trove of fascinating flora and fauna, this wonderful book offers a plea to save our city plants, animals, and fungi before we lose them, too.
