Sinopsis

Internet Connection Mechanics explores the intricate infrastructure behind our hyper-connected world, examining both the technology and its societal impacts. It delves into the core components that enable internet connectivity, such as packet switching and the TCP/IP protocol suite, while also analyzing how these technologies have reshaped communication, commerce, and international relations. For example, the book highlights how the architecture of the Internet, initially designed for decentralization, has inadvertently led to new forms of centralization and control.

 
The book unfolds in three sections, beginning with the core technical concepts and their evolution. It then progresses to current challenges like network neutrality and cybersecurity, using case studies to illustrate diverse impacts. Finally, it addresses policy implications, offering recommendations for a more equitable digital future.

 
By combining technical depth with social and political awareness, Internet Connection Mechanics provides a balanced and accessible analysis for students, policymakers, tech professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the Internet's mechanics and global implications.

Between Light and Infinity -...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if reality is not objects in empty space, but a living architecture built from reflection, information and infinite possibility?

Between Light and Infinity offers a revolution in perspective. It proposes that everything in existence - from particles and planets to life and consciousness emerges from an underlying network of spherical reflections. Light is constantly absorbed, reshaped, and re-emitted by matter, water, air and even the atoms within us. This endless circulation of information creates a cosmic mirror system in which nothing is isolated and every interaction matters.

Drawing from modern physics, cosmology, systems theory, and the introspective depth of lived experience, this book presents a unified understanding of how the universe evolves, learns, and organises itself across all scales. Instead of approaching a “theory of everything” through equations alone, it approaches it through patterns - the universal feedback loops that generate structure, complexity, and consciousness.

You will discover:

• How light acts as the connective tissue of reality

• How information forms the hidden architecture beneath matter

• How life and mind emerge from cosmic reflection

• Why the universe continually evolves toward complexity

• How consciousness fits naturally into the fabric of existence

• And why you are an active reflector in this infinite system

Both expansive and deeply personal, Between Light and Infinity invites the reader to step into a new relationship with reality - one in which every moment is part of an infinite conversation between energy, matter, and awareness. It is a book for seekers, thinkers, scientists, creators and anyone who has ever felt that the universe is both mysterious and meaningful.

This is not merely a theory - it’s a new way of seeing everything.

Obesity - The other pandemic of...

Ada Cuevas, Donna Ryan

Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

Life on Purpose - How Living for...

Victor J. Strecher

A pioneer in the field of behavioral science delivers a groundbreaking work that shows how finding your purpose in life leads to better health and overall happiness.
Your life is a boat. You need a rudder. But it doesn’t matter how much wind is in your sails if you’re not steering toward a harbor—an ultimate purpose in your life.
While the greatest philosophers have pondered purpose for centuries, today it has been shown to have a concrete impact on our health. Recent studies into Alzheimer’s, heart disease, stroke, depression, functional brain imaging, and measurement of DNA repair are shedding new light on how and why purpose benefits our lives.
Going beyond the fads, opinions, and false hopes of “expert” self-help books, The Science of Purpose explores the incredible connection between purposeful living and the latest scientific evidence on quality of life and longevity. Drawing on ancient and modern philosophy, literature, psychology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and neuroscience, as well as his experience in public health research, Dr. Vic Strecher reveals the elements necessary for a purposeful life and how to acquire them, and outlines an elegant strategy for improving energy, willpower, and long-term happiness, and well-being. He integrates these core themes into his own personal story—a tragedy that led him to reconsider his own life—and how a deeper understanding of purposeful living helped him not only survive, but thrive.
Illuminating, accessible, and authentically grounded in real people’s experiences, The Science of Purpose is essential reading for everyone seeking lasting improvement in their lives.
