  Tipping Points: How Climate...

  Every system — natural or human — has a breaking point. Ice sheets collapse, forests burn, markets crash, societies fracture. Now, as the planet edges toward a cascade of irreversible shifts, humanity faces its own moment of balance. 
  In Tipping Points, Alex Southwick examines the fragile thresholds that define our age — from the melting Arctic permafrost to the strain on global food networks and the fraying bonds of political trust. Drawing on science, history, and on-the-ground reporting, Southwick reveals how these crises intertwine, amplifying one another into a single planetary reckoning. 
  Yet this is also a story of resilience. Across the world, communities, cities, and movements are learning to adapt — not by returning to the old normal, but by building something entirely new. 
  Sweeping in scope yet intimate in its insight, Tipping Points is a profound exploration of how climate chaos doesn’t just threaten civilization — it’s already redefining what civilization means.

  The 4.4-billion-year history of the oceans and their role in Earth's climate systemIt has often been said that we know more about the moon than we do about our own oceans. In fact, we know a great deal more about the oceans than many people realize. Scientists know that our actions today are shaping the oceans and climate of tomorrow—and that if we continue to act recklessly, the consequences will be dire. In this timely and accessible book, Eelco Rohling traces the 4.4 billion-year history of Earth’s oceans while also shedding light on the critical role they play in our planet’s climate system.Beginning with the formation of primeval Earth and the earliest appearance of oceans, Rohling takes readers on a journey through prehistory to the present age, vividly describing the major events in the ocean’s evolution—from snowball and greenhouse Earth to the end-Permian mass extinction, the breakup of the Pangaea supercontinent, and the changing climate of today. Along the way, he explores the close interrelationships of the oceans, climate, solid Earth processes, and life, using the context of Earth and ocean history to provide perspective on humankind’s impacts on the health and habitability of our planet—and on what the future may hold for us.An invaluable introduction to the cutting-edge science of paleoceanography, The Oceans enables you to make your own informed opinions about the environmental challenges we face as a result of humanity’s unrelenting drive to exploit the world ocean and its vital resources.

  Data lakes and warehouses have become increasingly fragile, costly, and difficult to maintain as data gets bigger and moves faster. Data meshes can help your organization decentralize data, giving ownership back to the engineers who produced it. This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of data mesh patterns for streaming and real-time data services. 
   
   
   
  Authors Hubert Dulay and Stephen Mooney examine the vast differences between streaming and batch data meshes. Data engineers, architects, data product owners, and those in DevOps and MLOps roles will learn steps for implementing a streaming data mesh, from defining a data domain to building a good data product. Through the course of the book, you'll create a complete self-service data platform and devise a data governance system that enables your mesh to work seamlessly. 
   
   
   
  With this book, you will design a streaming data mesh using Kafka; learn how to identify a domain; build your first data product using self-service tools; apply data governance to the data products you create; learn the differences between synchronous and asynchronous data services; and implement self-services that support decentralized data.
