Summary

"HDF5 Data Architecture and Programming Guide"The "HDF5 Data Architecture and Programming Guide" offers a definitive, in-depth exploration of the HDF5 data format, designed for engineers, scientists, and developers tasked with managing and optimizing large, complex, and heterogeneous datasets. Beginning with foundational concepts, the guide delves into the origins and rationale behind HDF5, its logical and physical storage models, and the core abstractions—groups, datasets, and attributes—that enable robust, scalable data modeling. Readers are introduced to HDF5’s extensible type system, advanced referencing mechanisms, and the semantics underpinning safe, concurrent file access.Building on this foundation, the book presents actionable strategies for hierarchical namespace organization, metadata and attribute schema management, and sophisticated storage optimization techniques. Coverage extends to chunking, compression, and filter customization, equipping practitioners with the tools necessary to tailor storage layouts for both performance and flexibility. Specialized chapters explore high-performance parallel I/O in distributed environments, memory management and efficient data transfer, and the guarantees and tools HDF5 offers for data integrity, validation, and security, including encryption and auditing for rigorous scientific workflows.A practical and forward-looking resource, the guide also addresses advanced API usage across multiple languages (including C/C++, Python, Java, and Fortran), seamless integration with distributed and cloud storage, and interoperability with leading data formats and scientific libraries. Best practices and anti-patterns are illustrated through architectural blueprints and real-world case studies, while future directions and evolving standards are discussed to prepare readers for new trends in large-scale data management. Whether architecting scalable storage systems or harnessing advanced features in production, this guide provides comprehensive insight for leveraging HDF5’s full potential.

    This book was written to bring to everyone's attention our obsession with technology, which is destroying our planet's biosphere and will eventually, in the author's opinion, bring about the extinction of most species on Earth, both plant and animal, including, of course, our own. Clinging onto the belief that we will soon develop some new technology that will provide us with a free and unlimited source of energy and "save" us is just pure folly. Technology cannot be the solution to our environmental problems – it is the cause. 
In the meantime, we should not even consider venturing too far into outer space. Until we learn to live both socially and environmentally compatible with the Earth, any attempt to spread our species to other worlds should not be called "colonizing." It would more accurately be termed "metastasizing."

    The Storytelling Manual for...

    Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have. But we're not talking about a story as a nice-to-have or an occasional distraction from the real work you do. We’re talking about story as the backbone and the underlying structure, and story as a way of ordering your thoughts and connecting with those around you.
If you want to make the most of every page on your website, every email to your clients and every conversation on site, this is the guidebook you need. It gives you a simple, flexible structure to tell the stories of your practice, your projects, your process, and your team. And, more than that, it reframes writing not as a chore but as an act of clarity and connection.
The Storytelling Manual for Architects is a short, practical book with a very human mission – to help you find common ground, convey your worth, and show your clients the difference you can make. It’s a heartfelt manifesto for a better way to write and talk about what you do.
Juliette Mitchell set up Architypal, a writing consultancy for architects, after many years as an editor at Penguin Books. The Storytelling Manual for Architects is both her step-by-step messaging strategy and her personal act of resistance in the face of AI and things to come.

‘It’s a great little book – both succinct and spirited!’ Ceri Davies, director at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris
‘This book is so good, I don’t want to recommend it to other architects. I want to keep it all to myself.’ Lee Holmes, associate director at Wainwrights
‘Joyous, loving, accessible, practical, and just what the doctor ordered.’ Barbara Iddon, co-author of Blueprints for the Soul: Why we need emotion in architecture
‘I devoured about 80% of it in the first sitting. Full of good and clear ideas.’ Paul Sheeran, principal at Architexture
‘Part guidebook, part pep talk, part love letter to clearer, kinder architectural communication. Practical, readable, and quietly radical.’ Simon Drayson, director at George & James Architects

    Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago.
		 
The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.
		 
Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.
