  A lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a remarkable and charming orphaned beaver kit.On May 10, 2020, an orphaned beaver kit was found in St. Albans, Vermont and handed over to John Aberth, a licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator. Over the next two years, John raised the kit, whom he nicknamed "BK," and prepared him for release back into the wild. During that time, John and BK developed a special and unique bond, which John documented in a daily diary. That diary became the basis for Bringing Up Beaver, a lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a wild animal.Bringing Up Beaver is more than just a feel-good story about human encounters with nature. Full of fascinating observations about beaver behavior and biology, Bringing Up Beaver also documents the unique challenges and obstacles to be faced and overcome in rehabbing a wild beaver kit. Populating the story are plenty of other wild creatures that John encountered in the course of his rehab, including other beavers—one of whom became BK's mate—as well as hawks, owls, mink, and weasels. For anyone who has been charmed by a beaver's smile or enjoyed books like Fox and I and Eager, Bringing Up Beaver is a must-listen that will give us a new perspective on the wildlife and nature that exists all around us.

  How to Steal a City - The Battle...

  How to Steal a City is the gripping insider account of this intervention, which lays bare how Nelson Mandela Bay metro was bled dry by criminal syndicates, and how factional politics within the ruling party abetted that corruption.  
  As a former senior state official and local government ‘fixer’, Crispian Olver was no stranger to dodgy politicians and broken organisations. Yet what he found in Nelson Mandela Bay went far beyond rigged contracts, blatant conflicts of interest and garden-variety kickbacks. The city’s administration had evolved into a sophisticated web of front companies, criminal syndicates and compromised local politicians and officials. The metro was effectively controlled by a criminal network closely allied to a dominant local ANC faction. What Olver found was complete state capture – a microcosm of what has taken place in national government. 
  Olver and his team initiated a clean-up of the administration, clearing out corrupt officials and rebuilding public trust. Then came the ANC’s doomed campaign for the August 2016 local government elections. Having lost its way in factional battles and corruption, the divided party went down to a humiliating defeat in its traditional heartland.  
  Olver paid a high price for his work in Nelson Mandela Bay. Intense political pressure and even threats to his personal safety took a toll on his mental and physical health. When his political support was withdrawn, he had to flee the city as the forces stacked against him took their revenge. This is his story.

  Social Engineering -...

  Cito Harder

  Social engineering is the art of manipulating individuals into divulging confidential or personal information by exploiting their psychological vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional forms of hacking, which rely on technical skills to break into systems, social engineering takes advantage of human behavior to gain access to sensitive data. Whether through deceit, persuasion, or psychological manipulation, social engineers often prey on an individual’s trust, emotions, or fear, making it a more subtle yet highly effective form of attack. This introduction will explore what social engineering is, its methods, and why it has become such a significant threat in today’s digital landscape. 
  The core idea behind social engineering is simple: it is the manipulation of people rather than technology. In this approach, an attacker bypasses security measures and instead focuses on exploiting the weakest link in any organization or system—the people. These attacks can take many forms, ranging from phishing emails to impersonating authority figures, all designed to get the victim to willingly provide information, click on malicious links, or take actions that compromise their security. The success of social engineering relies not on breaking through firewalls or hacking encryption systems but on exploiting the trust and naivety of human beings. 
  Social engineering attacks can have serious consequences, especially as more of our personal and professional lives move online. Cybercriminals can gain access to sensitive personal information, financial data, or corporate secrets, leading to identity theft, financial loss, or damage to an organization’s reputation. In the corporate world, social engineering is often used as a gateway to larger cyberattacks. For instance, once an attacker gains access to an employee’s credentials through a phishing scheme, they can infiltrate company systems, potentially compromising valuable data.

  Growing up in Montana, Chris La Tray always identified as Indian. Despite the fact that his father fiercely denied any connection, he found Indigenous people alluring, often recalling his grandmother's consistent mention of their Chippewa heritage. 
   
   
   
  When La Tray attended his grandfather's funeral as a young man, he finally found himself surrounded by relatives who obviously were Indigenous. "Who were they?" he wondered, and "Why was I never allowed to know them?" Combining diligent research and compelling conversations with authors, activists, elders, and historians, La Tray embarks on a journey into his family's past, discovering along the way a larger story of the complicated history of Indigenous communities—as well as the devastating effects of colonialism that continue to ripple through surviving generations. And as he comes to embrace his full identity, he eventually seeks enrollment with the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, joining their 158-year-long struggle for federal recognition. 
   
   
   
  Both personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. Infused with candor, heart, wisdom, and an abiding love for a place and a people, Chris La Tray's remarkable journey is both revelatory and redemptive.
