Summary

Salt Flat Survival explores the extraordinary adaptations of life in hypersaline environments, focusing on how organisms, like brine shrimp, thrive where salt levels would be lethal to most. The book delves into the fascinating mechanisms of osmoregulation, revealing how these species have evolved unique strategies, such as specialized salt glands, to maintain osmotic balance. Readers will discover how these adaptations highlight the remarkable resilience of life and offer insights into evolutionary biology and potential biotechnology applications. The book uses a scientific approach to explain complex concepts, making it accessible to a broad audience. Beginning with an introduction to hypersaline environments and the principles of osmoregulation, it progresses to detailed explorations of brine shrimp physiology and ecological interactions. It examines the molecular adaptations that enable salt tolerance. Salt Flat Survival stands out by connecting the study of halophilic organisms to broader fields like environmental science and biotechnology. It presents evidence from peer-reviewed literature, original research, and field observations, offering a comprehensive overview of adaptation in extreme environments.

    This illuminating book weaves personal stories of a multilingual upbringing with the latest scientific breakthroughs in interspecies communication to show how the skill of deep listening enhances our curiosity and empathy toward the world around us 
     
     
     
    Third Ear braids together personal narrative with scholarly inquiry to examine the power of listening to build interpersonal empathy and social transformation. A daughter of Holocaust survivors, Rosner shares stories from growing up in a home where six languages were spoken to interrogate how psychotherapy, neurolinguistics, and creativity can illuminate the complex ways we are impacted by the sounds and silences of others. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on expertise from journalists, podcasters, performers, translators, acoustic biologists, spiritual leaders, composers, and educators, this hybrid text moves fluidly along a spectrum from molecular to global to reveal how third-ear listening can be a collective means for increased understanding and connection to the natural world.

    “Garden Marcus is not only a trove of information if you’re looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the chaos happening in the world.”—Vogue 
    “Bridgewater’s planting tips are just as valuable when applied to life.”—The Root 
    In this transformative guide, TikTok’s most popular gardener, Marcus Bridgewater—aka Garden Marcus—offers lessons for growth rooted in lessons from the plant world to help cultivate the soul. 
    Marcus Bridgewater has been compared to Bob Ross and Mister Rogers for his soothing TikTok videos that relate botany to humanity. A gardener “who shares tips about caring for one’s plants and oneself” (New York Times) and “is not only a trove of information if you’re looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the pandemic-induced chaos happening in the world” (Vogue), his soothing observations on plants and life have made him a social media star. In caring for over 600 plants, Marcus has gained invaluable wisdom. Life inside us yearns to grow; like plants, humans maximize their potential when presented with the right conditions. Through care and attention, he reminds us, we can successfully cultivate growth.  
    Centered on a trinity of wellbeing—Mental Health, Physical Fitness, and Spiritual Awareness, How to Grow weaves together insights from the garden with stories from Marcus’s life to help you foster personal development. With lessons rooted in his experiences gardening—from how a replanted flourishing sweet potato vine is a reminder that all living things benefit from a change of scene, to how to embrace patience to foster growth—this inspiring guide helps you do “the dirty work” (pun intended) to discover kindness, patience, and positivity within. “We cannot make anything grow,” he advises. “But we can foster an environment where it may grow.” 
    How to Grow isn’t a gardening book. It is a self-help book that draws inspiration from the garden. Original, timely, and filled with nurturing wisdom, it takes perennial knowledge from plants to teach us about ourselves and opens our eyes to what we are capable of achieving.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    More than a century has passed since humans conquered the sky. Like any conquest, it required assuming countless risks to achieve it. Once achieved, the process of consolidation begins, along with stabilization. Time and hard work are what allow this stabilization to be secure. 
    Just like in every human conquest, this process has not escaped the chronological logic of growth. Of course, aviation is not exempt from this developmental mechanism of conquests. Unfortunately, for this industry, the process of growth comes with the loss of lives. 
    After more than a century of conquest, it could be said that the aviation industry is in the stabilization phase, achieving established, reliable, and sustainable safety standards. If we have reached this stage, it is the result of work, research, study, and the construction of what we now know as a safety culture. 
    The conquest of the sky and safe aviation require constant actions to maintain and increase the levels of safety that have been achieved. That is why this work highlights the most significant aspects of the development of concepts and techniques that have served, served, and will continue to serve flight crews in maintaining and improving the mentioned standards.

    Maintaining secrets, credentials, and machine identities in secure ways is an important, though often overlooked, aspect of secure software development. DevOps security often addresses vulnerabilities, but it neglects broader discussions like authentication, authorization, and access control, potentially leaving the door open for breaches. That's where an identity security strategy integrated in your code, infrastructure, and environments from day one can help. 
     
     
     
    In this practical book, authors John Walsh, Uzi Ailon, and Matt Barker provide conceptual frameworks, technology overviews, and useful code snippets to bridge the gap between development, IT, and security to integrate robust identity security across apps, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes and cloud native, hybrid and multicloud, process automation, IoT, and more. You'll learn: 
     
     
     
    ● What developers need to know about managing secrets and identity to build safer apps 
     
     
     
    ● What machine identities, secrets, and credentials are—and how to secure them 
     
     
     
    ● How to secure the software supply chain to build safer apps
