Synopsis

Mining Math Explained dives into the mathematical heart of cryptocurrency mining, revealing the complex algorithms and cryptographic principles that power blockchain technology. The book explores the essential role of hash functions, showcasing how their properties, such as collision resistance, guarantee a secure and tamper-proof ledger. It further examines the concept of difficulty adjustment, a crucial mechanism that ensures consistent block creation rates despite fluctuating network power, maintaining network stability and preventing malicious control. The book traces the evolution of crypto mining, highlighting key social and economic influences. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the mathematical foundations for anyone involved in the cryptocurrency field, be they developers, investors, or researchers. Beginning with fundamental mathematical concepts, the book progresses through hash functions, difficulty adjustment, Proof-of-Work, and Proof-of-Stake, concluding with emerging trends like cloud mining. Real-world examples and data are used throughout to illustrate key points and provide a data-driven understanding. What sets this book apart is its commitment to clear, accessible explanations, making complex concepts understandable to a broad audience interested in computers and technology, even without advanced mathematical expertise. The book avoids technical jargon, focusing on intuitive explanations and visual aids to demystify the intricacies of cryptocurrency mining, network security, and decentralized mining.

    The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

    Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
     
     
     
    In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
     
     
     
    With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.

    Critical: Why the NHS is being...

    The true, eye-opening account of how the NHS has been failed and what we can do to save it. 
    ‘The NHS is an institution. But it’s also a political football, kicked back and forth between politicians for the past 75 years. It’s a burden to some and a potent vote-winner for others. It’s a construct, framed in the media. It’s a set of ideas and a logo. It’s a workplace for many and the birthplace of almost all of us. It’s become a valued part of our society, it is extraordinarily special – and it’s being destroyed.’  
    The NHS is at crisis point. In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone, its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders. The result: an underfunded, understaffed, exhausted workforce, a decimation of patient services and the infiltration of privatisation within our public healthcare system. We are now in danger of losing what we have come to depend upon: the NHS is collapsing and a two-tier healthcare system is emerging in its place. We can stop this, but only if we do it together. 
    In her first book, Dr Julia Grace Patterson, founder of EveryDoctor and fierce advocate for the future of the NHS, lays bare the truth about the current state of our healthcare system and sets forth transformational ideas on how we could save it. A book built on a love of the NHS at its heart, Critical is a must-read for anyone who wants it to survive for another 75 years. 
    Dr Julia Grace Patterson's Critical is a best commentary on the state of the NHS, exploring its history, administration, and the social issues that have led to its current crisis. It is a non-fiction book that offers a unique perspective on the medical challenges of the 20th century. 
    For fans of Graham Smith (Abolish the Monarchy), Jolyon Maugham (Bringing Down Goliath), Isabel Hardman (Fighting for Life), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), and Andrew Seaton (Our NHS).
