  Returning the Self to Nature -...

  Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
   
   
   
  Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
   
   
     
  Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
   
    
   
  Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

  "Hacking and Network Protocols: Strategies for Protection and Penetration in Networking" is an essential guide that bridges the gap between network defense and offensive tactics, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles that drive both protection and penetration in modern networks. 
  This book dives deep into the architecture of network protocols, uncovering the mechanics that govern their operation and how they can be both a target for hackers and a line of defense for network administrators. Readers will learn about the various types of attacks that can be carried out against network protocols, from man-in-the-middle attacks to denial of service (DoS) disruptions, and how such vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious actors. 
  But more than just understanding attacks, this book focuses heavily on defense mechanisms. It outlines strategic approaches to securing networks, from deploying advanced encryption practices to setting up comprehensive intrusion detection systems. Each chapter presents real-world scenarios and case studies, allowing readers to explore the consequences of both weak and robust network defenses. 
  Expert interviews and commentary provide insights into the evolving landscape of network security, offering foresight into future challenges and the technologies being developed to counter them. Whether you are a cybersecurity professional aiming to enhance your tactical skills or a network administrator seeking to fortify your infrastructure, "Hacking and Network Protocols" offers the knowledge and strategies needed to understand and manipulate the framework of network security effectively.

  A trove of 111 ingenious tips for seeing more birds wherever you are—from crowd favorites (hummingbirds, owls, eagles) to species you've never spotted before 
   
   
   
  Seeing more birds than you ever imagined and witnessing exciting avian drama is possible—whether you're on the go or in your own neighborhood, local park, or backyard. As Heather Wolf explains, it all comes down to how you tune in to the show happening around you, the one in which birds—highly skilled at staying under the radar—are the stars. In Find More Birds, Heather shares her very best tactics. 
   
   
   
  ● Look for birds at their favorite "restaurants"—from leaf litter to berry bushes, and ball fields to small patches of mud. 
   
   
   
  ● Watch for "tree bark" that moves . . . you may find it has feathers. 
   
   
   
  ● Try simply sitting on the ground for a revealing new perspective. 
   
   
   
  Plus, special tips point the way to crowd favorites such as hummingbirds, owls, and eagles—and can't-miss bird behaviors. As your senses sharpen and "noticing" becomes second nature, Find More Birds will turn your daily routines into bird-finding adventures. Whether you're strolling down the block or parking your car, you never know what will surprise you next!

  This book explores the fascinating world of two critical fields in physics: plasma physics and fluid dynamics. Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, plays a crucial role in everything from the sun’s energy production to potential advancements in controlled fusion energy. Plasma physics investigates the behavior of ionized gases under various conditions, aiming to harness this powerful energy source. Controlled fusion, a field within plasma physics, focuses on replicating the energy-producing reactions of the sun, offering a potential solution for sustainable, clean energy. Meanwhile, fluid dynamics, the study of the movement of liquids and gases, impacts various applications from engineering and meteorology to biology. 
  This book delves into the intricate interactions between these two domains, examining how fluids and plasmas behave under different forces, temperatures, and magnetic fields. By integrating plasma physics, controlled fusion, and fluid dynamics, the text provides a comprehensive understanding of how motion and energy interact on both a micro and macro scale. The principles outlined have far-reaching implications for both theoretical research and practical applications, including energy generation, propulsion systems, and the study of natural phenomena such as weather patterns and ocean currents.
