    The Wanderer is the first book ever to chart a wolf's movement, almost to the day, for an extended period of time. Informed by unique access to research and field notes, award-winning author, photographer, and naturalist Tom Walker shares the story of Wolf 258, nicknamed "the Wanderer," part of a research project that studied wolves in Alaska's Yukon–Charley Rivers National Preserve for more than two decades. A GPS collar recorded the animal's coordinates once a day as it moved through the wilderness. To the amazement of all, the Wanderer traveled more than 2,700 miles in less than six months. To tell this story, Walker had unparalleled access to research and field notes, including the cooperation of the biologist who first collared the Wanderer and the wolf researcher now assigned to Yukon–Charley. 
 
 
 
The Wanderer recounts the compelling life of one particular wolf, while examining the broader complexity of the species as a whole and its struggle for survival. Walker explores not only the natural history of wolves, but the relationship of people—Indigenous, pioneers and settlers, biologists, politicians—to this predator, shedding light on the long northern traditions of trapping and hunting, the tangled politics of wolf management, and the futility of borders to contain large mammals.

    There is an increased risk of injury in people with epilepsy. 
Seizures can present as a sudden fall, blank stare, confusion, uncontrolled movements, diminished awareness, odd sensations, a convulsion, or laboured breathing. 
For some people with epilepsy, their seizures pose a minimal risk of injury. For others, their seizures may require extra precaution to avoid injury. For example, seizures that occur without warning, involve falls, loss of awareness, or confusion after the seizure could result in injury. Precautions may be necessary depending on the activity. 
Assessing the risks associated with the type and frequency of the seizures may require implementing safety procedures.

    CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
"thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
"we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
"the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
"this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
"they decided to do nothing?" 
If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
targets. 
Is there a better way? 
After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
CEO. 
The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

    In Hack to the Future: How World Governments Relentlessly Pursue and Domesticate Hackers, veteran information security professional Emily Crose delivers a deep dive into the history of the United States government's nuanced relationship with hacker culture and the role the latter has played in the former's domestic policy and geopolitics. In the book, you'll learn about significant events that have changed the way the hacking community has been perceived by the public, the state, and other hackers. 
 
 
 
The author explains how the US government managed to weaponize a subculture widely seen as misanthropic and awkward into a lever of geopolitical power. You'll also discover how the release of the Morris worm and the Melissa virus changed the way hackers were seen and treated in the United States; how different government agencies, including the National Security Agency and NASA, treated—and were treated by—domestic hackers; and how hacking went from being an exclusive hobby for socially awkward nerds to a substantial lever of geopolitical power in just a few decades. 
 
 
 
Perfect for anyone with an interest in hacking, tech, infosec, and geopolitics, Hack to the Future is a must-listen for those who seek to better their understanding of the history of hacking culture and how we got to where we are today.
