Summary

"Iceberg Table Formats and Analytics""Iceberg Table Formats and Analytics" offers a comprehensive, in-depth exploration of Apache Iceberg and the transformative landscape of modern table formats for analytic data lakes. Beginning with a solid grounding in the motivations and architectural innovations underlying next-generation table formats, the book systematically contrasts Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Hudi, while elucidating the principles of scalable storage, transactional integrity, and optimal data access. Readers will find accessible explanations of critical concepts such as ACID guarantees, metadata management, and the foundational file formats that empower high-performance analytics in today's data-driven enterprises.The heart of the book meticulously details Iceberg’s open specification, focusing on advanced schema and partition evolution, manifest file structures, and robust transactional semantics. Through a balanced blend of practical patterns and technical deep dives, the chapters guide data professionals-from engineers to architects-through essential workflows including batch and streaming ingestion, change data capture, upserts, compaction, and conflict management in distributed settings. Cutting-edge sections address query optimization, time travel, cost-based planning, and the integration with leading engines like Spark, Trino, and Flink, equipping the reader to maximize both performance and analytical flexibility in production data lakes.Beyond technical mechanics, the book rigorously addresses security, governance, data lineage, and compliance, charting a path toward operational excellence in cloud-native deployments and cross-cloud architectures. Advanced use cases demonstrate Iceberg’s relevance to machine learning, real-time analytics, and geospatial workloads, while an ecosystem-oriented final section embraces standardization, interoperability, and future trends. Whether you are building large-scale analytic platforms, orchestrating robust ETL pipelines, or pioneering data governance initiatives, "Iceberg Table Formats and Analytics" is an indispensable resource for mastering the evolving landscape of data lake architecture.

    This is a beautifully elegant, deeply excellent book, pursued by grace on every page, in every stunning illustration." 
    
    —Carl Safina, ecologist, NYT bestselling author of Beyond Words and Becoming Wild; MacArthur Fellow and founder of The Safina Center
    
    From the bestselling author of All Creation Waits — a beautiful book of hope for Lent, filled with twenty-five of Earth's rare and wild creatures. Their stories, while tragic and uncomfortable, will wake readers to greater compassion and hope.
    
    Pangolins and polar bears, olms, lemurs, and leopards. We share this planet with creatures magnificent, delicate, intricate—and now vanishing at a faster rate than at any other time in Earth's history.
    
    
    Spend Lent with twenty-five of these endangered animals. Vivid descriptions of the miracle of each creature and the peril it faces will fill readers with wonder and grief at what these animals suffer on a planet shaped by human choices. Their true and difficult stories will wake readers to a greater compassion—which is what Lent, meaning "springtime," has always been for. These stories also wake in us a wild hope that from all this death and ruin something new could rise. The promise of Lent is that something new will rise. In fact, as these stories attest, our hope, though wild, is not impossible and is already loose in the world.

    The Earth Said Remember Me - How...

    As the climate emergency worsens and biodiversity shrinks, we somehow get used to it. We struggle to remember what summers were like before the unrelenting heat, in those years before wildfires became an annual routine. We adapt, we normalize. Scientists call this "shifting baseline syndrome," and they warn that it's why we are increasingly sleepwalking toward disaster. 
     
    In this inspiring manifesto, environmental advocate and longtime editor-in-chief of Sierra magazine Jason Dove Mark offers antidotes that everyone can use to resist ecological amnesia and make lasting progress to repair and revive a livable planet. He puts forth four simple but powerful rules for a life lived in communion with the Earth: 
     
    Go outside 
    Bear witness 
    Make a record 
    Pass it on 
     
    From the mountains of California to the lakes of Wisconsin and across the lush forests of his beloved Pacific Northwest, Mark shares moving examples of citizen scientists, birdwatchers, mountain climbers, and fishermen who are putting these remedies into practice. And he makes the case for easy, everyday practices that can help us "remember the earth" and support environmental conservation, restoration, and rewilding. The Earth Said Remember Me is a hopeful, achievable prescription for protecting the planet, one citizen at a time.

    "We need more writers with bite. We have lived in the flatlands too long," writes John Barnie in one of his 'observations' ('Art in the Flatlands'). And bite he delivers.
    
    Ranging across politics, history, culture, ecological disaster, the meaning of truth, poetry, what we mean by identity and more… Barnie shares a window onto the world that is both erudite and particular. Leaning towards pessimism in a darkening world, these observations are often provocative, not from any bullish desire to antagonise, but as the result of mining a rationalist line of thought with an honesty and consistency that is applied as much to the author as to his subjects. There is a clarity here that some may find uncomfortable, but the aim is always dialogue above agreement; intellectual engagement above cheap solutions and sentimentality.
    
    Barnie asks us to think, consider and dig deeper, but most of all he asks that we "…live richly among our secondary self-created meanings, while recognising them for what they are. To face without flinching the nullity of the great void." ('Varieties of Meaning')
    Tsunami Days is a vital collection of essays for those prepared to engage with its unflinching observations.
