Sinopse

Babylonian Record Science explores how the Babylonians, without modern computing, used meticulous record-keeping on cuneiform tablets to manage their society and foster administrative and scientific continuity. The book reveals how these records, spanning areas like astronomy, agriculture, and economics, were integral to Babylonian society. Intriguingly, their base-60 number system influenced later mathematical developments, and their astronomical observations laid a foundation for future scientific advancements. 

 
The book argues that Babylonian record-keeping wasn't just about bookkeeping, but served as a dynamic tool for analysis and knowledge transmission. It examines their systematic observation of celestial events, their detailed management of land and crops, and their tracking of trade and taxes. By integrating archaeological evidence with historical and scientific analysis, the book offers a holistic view of how these practices underpinned their societal achievements.

 
The book progresses by first exploring the historical and cultural context of Babylonia and the development of cuneiform writing. It then analyzes astronomical, agricultural, and economic records, culminating in a synthesis that demonstrates the interconnectedness of Babylonian administration and science. This approach makes the book valuable for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, or the history of science.

    'Tony Rogers consistently reveals new material regarding WW2 operations, in this case with the captivating account of an LRDG hero.' —Ex-Lance-corporal X, QGM, author of The SAS and LRDG Roll of Honour, 1941-47 
     
     
     
    John Olivey, an officer in the Long Range Desert Group, saw action in the Western Desert, where he was awarded the Military Cross; he fought in the Dodecanese, for which he was decorated a second time; and saw active service on mainland Greece, and in Istria. In autumn 1943, he was deployed to the Aegean and in October tasked with leading 'Olforce' in an ill-conceived operation to take the island of Levitha. Of some fifty LRDG, he was one of only seven to avoid capture. During the battle for Leros in November, he commanded X2 Patrol at Clidi, a key hilltop position. After British forces on Leros capitulated, Olivey was taken prisoner. 
     
     
     
    While being marched through Athens with hundreds of other prisoners of war, he escaped. Aided by local residents, Olivey remained in hiding in German-occupied Athens. It would be more than four months before he was at last able to return to Allied territory. During this time, he wrote a compelling, brutally honest, and often amusing personal account, describing his involvement in what was an eventful and momentous chapter in the history of the LRDG. This is his story.

    Embark on a profound journey through the struggles and revelations of one of Christianity's most influential figures with Confessions by Augustine of Hippo. This masterful autobiography transcends the mere recounting of Augustine's early life of sin and his pivotal conversion to Christianity, offering readers a timeless meditation on the human condition, the power of faith, and the quest for understanding and truth.  
    Confessions stands as a cornerstone in Western literature and theological thought, profoundly impacting not just Christian theology but also philosophy and the broader human search for meaning. Written with unparalleled eloquence, Augustine's introspective exploration of his own life serves as a mirror reflecting universal truths about the trials and transformations that define the human experience.  
    Through his candid narrative, Augustine embarks on a philosophical inquiry into memory, time, and the nature of God, making Confessions not just a tale of personal redemption but also a compelling discourse on the essence of existence itself. This book invites readers into a deep contemplation of their own spiritual journey, encouraging a reflective exploration of faith, the complexities of the human psyche, and the pursuit of inner peace. 
    Discover why luminaries across centuries have drawn inspiration from Augustine's insights. Confessions promises not just a story of conversion but a profound engagement with the mysteries of life—a literary and spiritual odyssey that continues to resonate with readers seeking wisdom and solace in their own lives.

    Ransom War - How Cyber Crime...

    This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
     
     
     
    The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
     
     
     
    Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.

    Fans of Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died will root for Bridey Thelen-Heidel as she struggles to unshackle herself from her mother’s chaos in this triumphant debut memoir. 
    Bridey is tethered to her mom’s addiction to dangerous men who park their Harley-Davidsons in the house and kick holes in all their doors. Raised to be her mother’s keeper, rescuer, and punching bag, Bridey gets used to stuffing her life into black trash bags, hauling them between Alaska and California, and changing schools every time her mom moves in a new monster—or runs away from one. Desperately seeking the normal life she’s observed in sitcoms and her friends’ families, Bridey earns her way into a fancy, private college, where she tries to forget who she is—until her mom calls with a threat that drops Bridey to her knees. Watching doctors and police interrogate her mother at the hospital, Bridey realizes her mom has become a monster herself . . . and she doesn’t want to be saved. 
    But Bridey does. 
    Bright Eyes is about the indomitable spirit of a young girl forced to be brave, required to be resilient, and conditioned to be optimistic, and how she ultimately uses the same traits that helped her to survive her mother’s chaos to create her own happily-ever-after.
