Sinopse

A highly entertaining book debunking the many myths about the human body.
Everything You Know About the Human Body is Wrong debunks the scientific myths we all take for granted. Written by author Matt Brown in his trademark humourous style, this book takes you through all the facts we thought true, from bodily blunders, medical mis-quotes and curious cures. Does giving kids sugar make them go hyper-active? Not at all – there is no proven link! Is there such a thing as being 'double-jointed'? And is it dangerous to swim after eating?
Covering everything from pseudoscience to recent research, Everything You Know About the Human Body is Wrong shatters a range of illusions we have accepted unquestioningly since childhood and demystifies this most puzzling of subjects.

    Egg - A Dozen Ovatures

    An unconventional history of the world’s largest cellular workhorse, from chickens to penguins, from art to crime, and more. 
    The egg is a paradox―both alive and not alive―and a symbol as old as culture itself. In this wide-ranging and delightful journey through its natural and cultural history, Lizzie Stark explores the egg’s deep meanings, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance through a dozen dazzling specimens. 
    From Mali to Finland, mythologies around the globe have invested the egg with powers of regeneration and fecundity, often ascribing the origin of the world to a cosmic egg. An oracle to Romans, fought over by Gold Rush gangs, used as the foundation of the Clown Egg Registry, and blasted into space, the egg has taken on larger proportions than, say, the ovum of an ostrich. 
    It has starred in global dishes from the Korean comfort food ttukbaegi gyeranjjim to the less regaled yet iconic soft-boiled egg. Stark writes a biography of French-born chef Jacques Pépin through his egg creations, and weaves in her personal experiences, like attempting to make the perfect omelet or trying her hand at pysanky―the Ukrainian art of egg decoration. She also explores her fraught relationship to the eggs in her body due to a familial link to cancer, and shares her delight in becoming a mother. 
    Filled with colorful characters and fascinating morsels, Egg is playful, informative, and guarantees that you’ll never take this delicate ovoid for granted again.

    The origins of the digital revolution can be traced back to several key developments in technology, many of which were shaped by visionary thinkers and groundbreaking innovations. At the heart of this transformation was the invention of the computer, a device that would later evolve into the complex machines that now permeate every aspect of modern life. Early computing, which began in the 1930s and 1940s, was initially limited to large, cumbersome machines used by governments and research institutions. These machines, like the ENIAC and the UNIVAC, were monumental in size and expensive to maintain, but they laid the groundwork for the digital age that would follow. 
    The true revolution, however, began with the development of the microprocessor in the 1970s. This small, powerful component allowed computers to shrink in size, becoming affordable for individuals and small businesses. Companies like Intel and AMD played pivotal roles in creating chips that would power everything from personal computers to smartphones. The release of the first microprocessor-powered personal computers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as the Apple II and the IBM PC, marked the beginning of a new era in computing. 
    Parallel to the rise of personal computing was the development of the internet, which would fundamentally change how people connect with one another and access information. The internet's roots can be traced to the 1960s, when the U.S. Department of Defense developed ARPANET, a network designed to share information across computers in a decentralized manner. As the internet expanded during the 1990s, it transformed from a tool for academic and government use into a platform for businesses and individuals alike. The introduction of the World Wide Web, developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991, made the internet more accessible and user-friendly, leading to the explosion of online content and services that would define the digital age.

    Gain practical OpenSSL skills for real-world cybersecurity challenges
    Book Description
    OpenSSL is the backbone of secure communication on the internet, trusted by developers, enterprises, and governments alike. Practical Network Security with OpenSSL equips you with the knowledge, real-world context, and hands-on skills to master OpenSSL—from its command-line tools to its C library APIs—for implementing robust, enterprise-grade cryptographic solutions.
    You’ll begin with a solid foundation in cryptographic principles and the role of OpenSSL in modern security systems. The book then guides you through practical usage, covering symmetric and asymmetric encryption, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and secure communications. Real-world examples and C code snippets help you confidently apply OpenSSL in standalone applications, enterprise-grade solutions, and hardware-based security environments such as HSMs and TPMs.
    By the end of this book, you’ll have the expertise to confidently use OpenSSL for designing, implementing, and managing cryptographic solutions across various domains. Whether you're securing financial transactions, IoT networks, or enterprise authentication systems, you’ll be equipped with the tools and knowledge to build secure, future-ready applications. Don’t get left behind—secure your systems like the pros do with OpenSSL mastery.
