Sinopse

In "In African Forest and Jungle," Paul B. Du Chaillu presents a vivid narrative that captures the awe and complexity of the African wilderness. Fusing personal anecdotes with detailed observations, Du Chaillu employs an engaging literary style characterized by rich descriptions and an adventurous tone. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century exploration, the book serves as both a travelogue and a natural history, offering insights into the diverse flora and fauna of equatorial Africa while also touching on the cultures of the indigenous peoples he encounters along the way. Paul B. Du Chaillu, an American explorer and anthropologist born in 1835, was among the first Westerners to explore the interior of Africa, his passion for natural history evident in his meticulous documentation. Formative experiences in his youth—including his early encounters with African landscapes and cultures—shaped his fascination with the region. His travels, which were often perilous and fraught with challenges, provided him unique perspectives that he weaves throughout the book, exploring themes of survival, curiosity, and wonder. This book is highly recommended for readers with an interest in exploration narratives, natural history, and cultural anthropology. Du Chaillu's evocative storytelling invites readers to experience the majesty of Africa's jungles, making it an essential read for those yearning to explore the confluence of human and natural worlds.

    From mavericks to party standard-bearers, United States Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change. 
     
     
     
    Glacial: The Inside Story of Climate Politics is the first Inside-the-Beltway account to lay bare the machinations of what went wrong in Washington—how and why our leaders failed to act on climate change as mounting scientific evidence underscored the urgency to do so. Glacial tells a story of behind-the-scenes infighting and power struggles that blocked or derailed federal legislative progress on climate change, even in times of bipartisanship and with polls showing most Americans favored action. 
     
     
     
    The good news today is that public opinion is at its highest level of support for climate action, from corporate boardrooms embracing sustainability for business reasons to movements led by passionate younger generations who can't afford to stand mute because it is they who will inherit the worst environmental catastrophes. If the missed opportunities in Washington are instructive, the path to doing so is clear. Our elected officials must use their offices not solely for the power and prestige it bestows upon them personally, but for the public good—and they must do so while there is still time.

    Whether sharing a spectacular shot from a deep-space probe, announcing a development in genetic engineering, or crafting an easy-to-reference list of cancer risk factors, science public information officers, or PIOs, serve as scientific liaisons, connecting academic, nonprofit, government, and other research organizations with the public. And as traditional media outlets cut back on their science coverage, PIOs are becoming a vital source for science news. W. Matthew Shipman’s Handbook for Science Public Information Officers covers all aspects of communication strategy and tactics for members of this growing specialty. It includes how to pitch a story, how to train researchers to navigate interviews, how to use social media effectively, and how to respond to a crisis. The handbook offers a wealth of practical advice while teaching science PIOs how to think critically about what they do and how they do it, so that they will be prepared to take advantage of any situation, rather than being overwhelmed by it. For all science communicators—whether they’re starting their careers, crossing over from journalism or the research community, or professional communicators looking to hone their PIO skills—Shipman’s Handbook for Science Public Information Officers will become their go-to reference.

    Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks that aim to access, change, or destroy sensitive information, extort money from users, or interrupt normal business processes. In the modern digital world, where every aspect of personal life, business, and government is connected through information technology, the importance of cybersecurity has grown exponentially. 
    This comprehensive exploration of cybersecurity provides a deep understanding of the concepts, technologies, practices, and challenges in the field. It covers the history and evolution of cybersecurity, common types of cyber threats (such as malware, phishing, ransomware, and DDoS attacks), critical cybersecurity principles (like confidentiality, integrity, and availability), and the various domains involved, including network security, application security, information security, and operational security. 
    It further examines cybersecurity frameworks and standards, risk management strategies, the role of cryptography, security policies, and incident response procedures. Real-world case studies are analyzed to highlight the consequences of cyber-attacks and the lessons learned. The final sections address cybersecurity in emerging technologies (like AI, IoT, and cloud computing), international regulations, and the future of global cybersecurity. 
    This guide is ideal for students, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the mechanisms, tools, and importance of defending digital infrastructure in the 21st century.

    This isn't a book filled with dry timelines or technical blueprints of the digital revolution. Instead, it's a firsthand journey—my journey—through one of the most astonishing transformations in human history: the rise of personal computing and the dawn of the digital age. 
    I was born in November 1955, at a time when the word “computer” was barely whispered outside of military labs and universities. My earliest memories include a bulky black-and-white television with rabbit-ear antennas, broadcasting a single channel. That flickering screen was my first encounter with electronic media—a far cry from the high-definition, touch-responsive world we live in now. 
    Over the decades, my path as an engineer and software developer placed me squarely in the midst of this technological upheaval. I didn’t just watch the future arrive—I helped build it, one line of code and one innovation at a time. 
    This book is a personal time capsule—a chronicle of what it was really like to live through the shift from analog to digital, from typewriters to tablets, from rotary phones to the infinite power in our pockets today. If you're a younger reader curious about how we got here, or someone who remembers the glow of vacuum tubes and the clack of punch cards, I invite you to walk with me through the decades. 
    You may be surprised by how far we’ve come—and how much we’ve forgotten along the way. 
    Many of the chapters are identified with the years or periods of time where these changes occurred.
