  Systemic - How Racism Is Making...

  Layal Liverpool

  Layal Liverpool spent years bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she'd grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick. 
   
   
   
  The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, she shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, she goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer. Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.

  Most software demos fail—not because the product is weak, but because the human brain is overwhelmed. 
  In a world where buyers are distracted, stressed, and drowning in information, even the best technology gets ignored if the presentation doesn’t align with how people actually think, learn, and decide. 
  The Cognitive Demo reveals the neuroscience behind unforgettable software presentations—and gives you a proven framework to transform your demos into clear, compelling, decision-driving experiences. 
  Drawing on cognitive load theory, memory science, behavioral psychology, and decades of sales experience, Jeff Mildon shows you how to:Capture attention in the first 30 secondsPrevent cognitive overload before it happensBuild memory-anchored demo flows that stickUse emotional cues to accelerate understandingAlign your message with each buyer personaStructure demos that buyers can retell internallyClose with clarity, confidence, and momentum 
  Whether you’re in SaaS sales, solutions engineering, leadership, or onboarding, this book will teach you how to deliver demos that aren’t just watched—they’re felt, remembered, and retold. 
  If you want shorter sales cycles, stronger engagement, and buyers who finally “get it,” you need more than features and workflows. 
  You need The Cognitive Demo.

  Over the Seawall - Tsunamis...

  Stephen Robert Miller

  In March 2011, people in a coastal Japanese city stood atop a seawall watching the approach of the tsunami that would kill them. They believed—naively—that the huge concrete barrier would save them. Instead they perished, betrayed by the very thing built to protect them. Erratic weather, blistering drought, rising seas, and ecosystem collapse now affect every inch of the globe. Increasingly, we no longer look to stop climate change, choosing instead to adapt to it. 
   
   
   
  Never have so many undertaken such a widespread, hurried attempt to remake the world. Predictably, our hubris has led to unintended—and sometimes disastrous—consequences. Academics call it maladaptation; in simple terms, it's about solutions that backfire. Over the Seawall tells us the stories behind these unintended consequences and the fixes that can do more harm than good. From seawalls in coastal Japan, to the reengineered waters in the Ganges River Delta, to the artificial ribbon of water supporting both farms and urban centers in parched Arizona, Stephen Robert Miller traces the histories of engineering marvels that were once deemed too smart and too big to fail. In each he takes us into the land and culture, seeking out locals and experts to better understand how complicated, grandiose schemes led instead to failure, and to find answers to the technologic holes we've dug ourselves into.

  This book explains engineering practice, what engineers actually do in their work. The first part explains how to find paid engineering work and prepare for an engineering career. The second part explains the fundamentals of engineering practice, including how to gain access to technical knowledge, how to gain the willing collaboration of other people to make things happen, and how to work safely in hazardous environments. Other chapters explain engineering aspects of project management missed in most courses, how to create commercial value from engineering work and estimate costs, and how to navigate cultural complexities successfully. Later chapters provide guidance on sustainability, time management and avoiding the most common frustrations encountered by engineers at work. This book has been written for engineering students, graduates and novice engineers. Supervisors, mentors and human resources professionals will also find the book helpful to guide early-career engineers and assess their progress. Engineering schools will find the book helpful to help students prepare for professional internships and also for creating authentic practice and assessment exercises.
