  Under the Radiant Hill - Life...

  The northern parish of Assynt boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in Britain. The mountains of Quinag and Suilven dominate a very varied landscape with wild, white hills inland and a complex, intricate moorland to the west. Here, rocky crags, boggy flows, innumerable lochs and burns, stretch to a coast of equal variety with long fjords, high cliffs and sandy beaches. Close to many of the crofting townships are dense areas of native woodland.
  In this book, Robin Noble, who has been intimately involved with this corner of the north-west Highlands of Scotland his whole life, celebrates its rugged beauty and shares many intimate encounters with the resident wildlife – including, golden eagles, otters, badgers and pine martens – which surrounded his cottage in its wooded glen under the 'long mountain' of Quinag.
  Assynt is also well known for its important role in the history of community land ownership, and Robin describes too his deep involvement with those who live there. He learned much from the old generation of shepherds and crofters whom he got to know in the 1960s, as well as from their children and incomers in later decades, and shared with them the challenges of living in a remote, fragile community.

  This book contains 3 titles, which are the following: 
  · Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is no longer a niche concern for IT professionals but a critical issue that impacts everyone. From personal data breaches to large-scale corporate hacks, the risks of cyber attacks are more real and damaging than ever. Hackers, cybercriminals, and even state-sponsored entities have the ability to infiltrate systems, steal sensitive data, and disrupt critical services. The consequences of these actions can range from financial loss to the erosion of privacy, and in some cases, even national security threats. 
  · Global Disasters: The world is increasingly vulnerable to a wide array of disasters, both natural and man-made, that threaten our lives, economies, and ecosystems. These crises, which range from catastrophic earthquakes to the far-reaching impacts of climate change, have become more frequent, intense, and interconnected. While the planet has always been subject to the forces of nature, human activity has amplified many of these events, while also introducing new, unprecedented risks. Natural disasters, like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, have become an inevitable part of the global landscape, but they are now exacerbated by the ongoing environmental degradation we’ve caused. 
  · Drug Cartels: Drug cartels have become a pervasive and highly organized criminal force with a significant global reach. These powerful syndicates control large portions of the illegal drug trade, operating not only within their home countries but across continents. Their operations extend far beyond drug trafficking, often influencing global markets, politics, and even social structures. The history of drug cartels is intertwined with the rise of drug consumption worldwide, as their growth is directly linked to the increasing demand for illicit substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and marijuana.

  We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
   
   
   
  A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.

  How Glands Affect Personality

  How much of who we are is shaped by the chemistry within us? 
   
  In How Glands Affect Personality, Grace Adams introduces readers to the emerging science of the endocrine system and explores the once-revolutionary idea that the body’s internal secretions may influence growth, energy, emotion, behavior, and temperament. 
   
  Beginning with a clear definition of personality, Adams explains the difference between ordinary glands and the “ductless” glands now known as the endocrine system. She examines the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, pineal, thymus, and sex glands, describing the roles early researchers believed each played in physical development and psychological life. 
   
  The book also considers how severe glandular imbalances were associated with recognizable medical conditions, while subtler variations were thought to help explain everyday differences in appearance, mood, energy, and character. 
   
  Originally published in 1929 during the early development of endocrinology, How Glands Affect Personality offers modern listeners a fascinating look at how scientists and popular writers first attempted to connect hormones, physiology, and human behavior. 
   
  Narrated by Jonathan Guerrero, this compact work will appeal to listeners interested in medical history, psychology, endocrinology, and the development of popular science. 
   
  Publisher’s note: This audiobook is presented as a historical scientific work. Some terminology, theories, medical descriptions, and conclusions reflect the knowledge and attitudes of 1929 and should not be considered current medical guidance.
