Sinossi

'History of Carnation' presents a fascinating journey through time, chronicling how the humble Dianthus caryophyllus transformed from a wild Mediterranean cliff-dweller into one of the world's most beloved cultivated flowers. The book weaves together botanical science, cultural history, and horticultural practices to tell the compelling story of this remarkably resilient bloom, which has been captivating humans since ancient times.

 
Through meticulous research drawing from archaeological findings, historical manuscripts, and botanical records, the book reveals how carnations became powerful symbols of love and remembrance across different cultures. From their presence in ancient Greek garlands dating back to 300 BCE to their role in Medieval European medicine and Renaissance art, these flowers have continuously evolved in both cultivation and cultural significance. The text explores fascinating developments in carnation breeding, including how monastery gardens became early centers of cultivar development and how Persian merchants helped spread these beloved flowers throughout Asia.

 
What makes this book particularly valuable is its multidisciplinary approach, combining practical growing advice with rich historical context. Readers learn about modern cultivation techniques and challenges while discovering the flower's influence on art, economics, and social customs throughout history. Whether exploring the meaning behind different carnation colors or examining contemporary sustainable growing practices, the book offers both practical insights for gardeners and engaging historical perspectives for botanical enthusiasts.

    In an increasingly volatile world, exemplified by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, organisations are looking at business continuity with a fresh perspective. While most organisations believe they are prepared for disruption, COVID-19 has proved otherwise. The need for business continuity has never been clearer.
    If you were hit by a cyber attack and lost the use of your IT systems, would you be able to carry on? If your business premises were forced to close, what would you do? If you were affected by unexpected staff absence, how could you reassure your customers that you can still offer them the service they expect?
    Being unprepared can lead to financial and reputational damage, which could prove disastrous. You could fail to keep up with customer demand or lose important business, or your customers could go elsewhere. Without a proper risk assessment strategy, your company directors could even face prosecution if a major incident occurs and results in loss or injury.
    An introduction to ISO 22301
    To minimise the impact of a disaster on your business, and to continue to provide essential services to your customers, you need to put in place a BCMS (business continuity management system). This pocket guide will help you understand the basics of business continuity and ISO 22301:2019, the international standard that describes the specification for a BCMS.
    It covers:
    
    - What business continuity is;
    - Key terms and definitions;
    - A brief history of business continuity management;
    - The BCMS;
    - ISO 22301 BCMS requirements; and
    - Certification
    ISO 22301:2019 - An introduction to a business continuity management system (BCMS) provides an easy-to-read and straightforward introduction to a BCMS that business continuity managers, compliance managers, C-suites and disaster recovery planners – or any organisation implementing, or considering implementing, an ISO 22301 BCMS – will find valuable.

    In this fast paced world of the internet, how can you make sure you are leaving your mark? 
    Since 1990, the World Wide Web has developed through three phases. The read phase gave individuals and companies a platform for publishing on a broader scale than ever before, but it wasn't interactive. The read-write phase allows readers and creators to interact with each other on the same Web page, but it has a few drawbacks: Creators are not compensated for the content they produce for platforms, their data is not secure, and they have no ownership of user-generated content. 
    Web3 is emerging to expand the opportunities for creators by delivering tools that help them regain their content freedom, monetize their content better, safeguard their personal data, and fight back against censorship. 
    In this book, you will learn:Why the best safeguard against censorship is decentralization.How the internet changed from being a decentralized asset no one owns or controls to being a centralized collage of walled gardens.Why user-generated content is so valuable to platforms like Facebook and Twitter, but not so great for creators.How blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are giving creators their freedom back.What creators can do today to secure their content freedom, expand their monetization options, and secure their data. 
    This book is for anyone who wants to know the inside and out of Web3. By knowing these, you will be able to navigate it and make sure you retain your content freedom while fighting against the censorship creators are experiencing on legacy social media platforms.
