  A nuanced portrait of Albert Einstein, a world citizen pivotally engaged in politics, humanitarianism, and science. 
    
  Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was the most influential scientist of the twentieth century, and his influence shows little sign of abating. His work comprises of much of today's understanding of the structure of the microphysical and cosmic universes. Einstein was a man of the modern world, faced with intellectual and existential challenges of extraordinary magnitude, a working scientist immersed in epochal theories of special relativity, the quantum theory, but also in organizational activities and teaching at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. More than any other past scientist, Einstein still pervades popular iconography and has come to symbolize genius, creativity, and innovation infused with humanism, wisdom, and humor. His life is interconnected with so many of the important political and intellectual movements of his era—Zionism, pacifism, Nazism, nuclear weapons, philosophy, civil rights, McCarthyism, the League of Nations, and more—that his views shaped the world he lived in while his persona acquired a formidable patina deposited by generations of apocryphal mythmaking, both during and after his lifetime. 
    
  Free Creations of the Human Mind: The Worlds of Albert Einstein presents a concise and nuanced account of Einstein's life and work embedded in his intellectual and social contexts, based on the substantial discoveries made through the study of his tremendous personal archive and several generations of assiduous scholarship. By disentangling the public persona from the private man, the rhetorical statement from the heartfelt conviction, this book shows Einstein as a man of the modern world, faced with intellectual and existential challenges of extraordinary magnitude, whose life was framed by turbulent, violent historical events. 
    
  "Albert Einstein lived a life of soaring scientific creativity. He also witnessed, and responded to, some of the most searing developments of modern times: world wars, the rise of Nazism, and the nuclear age. This remarkable book traces how the efforts of Einstein's life hung together."—David Kaiser, Germeshausen Professor of Physics and the History of Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
   
   
   
  Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
   
   
   
  Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

  Master Cryptography with Python: From History to Real-World Implementation.
  Book Description
  Cryptography is the backbone of modern digital security, and Python makes it accessible for everyone. Hands-on Cryptography with Python takes readers from foundational concepts to advanced cryptographic systems, equipping them with both theoretical understanding and practical implementation skills using Python.
  You’ll begin with setting up the platform and Installation and move on to understanding the basics of cryptography—exploring classic ciphers, their evolution, and their role in secure communication. Next, you’ll advance to Symmetric Key Cryptography and Asymmetric Key Cryptography, learning how to implement encryption algorithms step-by-step with Python.
  As you progress, you’ll dive into essential cryptographic components like Hashing and Message Integrity, enabling you to safeguard data and verify its authenticity. The book then introduces miscellaneous cryptographic schemes and highlights the principle that “Security is Only as Strong as the Weakest Link”, encouraging you to identify and address vulnerabilities.
  Toward the final stages, you’ll gain hands-on expertise in TLS Communication, the backbone of secure data exchange on the web. The journey culminates with an exploration of current trends in cryptography, including lightweight cryptography and post-quantum solutions, ensuring you stay ahead in this ever-evolving field.

  A scientific journey to the center of the new female body.The Latin term for the female genitalia, pudendum, means “parts for which you should be ashamed.” Until 1651, ovaries were called female testicles. The fallopian tubes are named for a man. Named, claimed, and shamed: Welcome to the story of the female body, as penned by men.Today, a new generation of (mostly) women scientists is finally redrawing the map. With modern tools and fresh perspectives, they’re looking at the organs traditionally bound up in reproduction, the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and seeing within them a new biology of change and resilience. Through their eyes, journalist Rachel E. Gross takes readers on an anatomical odyssey to the center of this new world?a world where the uterus regrows itself, ovaries pump out fresh eggs, and the clitoris pulses beneath the surface like a shimmering pyramid of nerves. Full of wit and wonder, Vagina Obscura is a celebratory testament to how the landscape of knowledge can be rewritten to better serve everyone.
