The Ultimate Guide to Building a Google Cloud Foundation - A one-on-one tutorial with one of Google's top trainers

Patrick Haggerty

Synopsis

From data ingestion and storage, through data processing and data analytics, to application hosting and even machine learning, whatever your IT infrastructural need, there's a good chance that Google Cloud has a service that can help. But instant, self-serve access to a virtually limitless pool of IT resources has its drawbacks. More and more organizations are running into cost overruns, security problems, and simple "why is this not working?" headaches.
This book has been written by one of Google’s top trainers as a tutorial on how to create your infrastructural foundation in Google Cloud the right way. By following Google’s ten-step checklist and Google’s security blueprint, you will learn how to set up your initial identity provider and create an organization. Further on, you will configure your users and groups, enable administrative access, and set up billing. Next, you will create a resource hierarchy, configure and control access, and enable a cloud network. Later chapters will guide you through configuring monitoring and logging, adding additional security measures, and enabling a support plan with Google.
By the end of this book, you will have an understanding of what it takes to leverage Terraform for properly building a Google Cloud foundational layer that engenders security, flexibility, and extensibility from the ground up.

Why We Haven't Found Aliens Yet...

John Harpoon

The question of why we have yet to discover extraterrestrial life remains one of the most profound mysteries in science. Despite decades of research, powerful telescopes, and countless efforts to detect signals from distant worlds, the universe has remained eerily silent. This paradox has led scientists and thinkers to develop a range of theories that attempt to explain why humanity appears to be alone in the cosmos.  
One of the most well-known ideas is the Fermi Paradox, which questions why, given the vastness of the universe and the high probability of other life forms, we have yet to encounter any signs of intelligent beings. The paradox highlights a troubling disconnect between the presumed abundance of alien civilizations and our complete lack of evidence for their existence. This has spurred a wave of speculation, ranging from the possibility that advanced civilizations self-destruct before they can communicate, to the unsettling notion that extraterrestrials deliberately avoid contact with less advanced species.   
Technological limitations may also play a role in this silence. While humanity has made significant strides in space exploration and communication technologies, our methods may be inadequate for detecting extraterrestrial signals. The vastness of space presents enormous challenges, with signals potentially becoming too weak or distorted to identify by the time they reach Earth. Furthermore, the technology alien civilizations may use to communicate could be entirely different from our own, rendering our search methods ineffective.

Shockwave

Michael Mathiesen

This book answers the question:  “Are we the only civilization in the universe who believes there is a God?” 
In a few years, it could be the end of human beings on Earth. The warning signs are all around us today, but few of us have realized how our lives will be changing as we come closer and closer to the END! Some believe that God will save us.  Others have given up hope. 
In Shockwave, time waves as conceived by the author and previously dismissed as theoretical abstraction— are starting to prove themselves by hitting the planet with more and more frequency and force.  Most readers will be amazed at the near future technology that is invented in this book by this author that may actually be accomplished in the coming years.  It's a great time to be alive, but it may be even greater in the not-so-far-off future. 
With each shockwave of Time, events are altered and realities changed.  One reality brings the hero closer to the life he always dreamed about and the other reality brings him further away.  
The ending is the biggest shock wave of all time because it puts humanity at the center of the universe and you don't want to miss it.

Bad Nature - How Rat Control...

Andrew McCumber

Offers insights into the social and cultural implications of humans’ relationships with rats and the natural world. Apart from the occasional pet owner who has rats, most people regard rats as disease-carrying nocturnal pests, scurrying around dumpsters and dragging slices of pizza through New York City subways. Since rats are seemingly omnipresent in human life, why do we harbor such negative feelings about them, and why are they among the creatures most frequently targeted for systematic extermination?In Bad Nature, sociologist Andrew McCumber draws out the cultural underpinnings of rat extermination across three countries and two continents. Drawing from ethnographic, interview, and textual data from the frigid prairie of Alberta, Canada; the heart of downtown Los Angeles, California; and the iconic Galápagos Islands of Ecuador, McCumber studies how humans have sought to suppress and exterminate rat populations in a variety of environmental, social, and political situations. He shows how, in these disparate locations, rat control is a social practice that draws and clarifies the spatial and symbolic boundaries between “good” and “bad” forms of nature. Rats are near the bottom of a symbolic hierarchy of species that places human life at the top, companion animals and majestic wildlife just below them, and the “invasive species” that call for systematic extermination at the very bottom. This hierarchy of living things that places rats at the bottom, McCumber argues, mirrors human systems of social inequalities and power dynamics.  Both original and engaging, Bad Nature urges readers to consider, when charting a just and sustainable future, where will the rats be placed in the worlds we envision?
