    Unleash Agility and Scale with Micro Frontend Architecture.
    Book Description
    As modern web applications grow in complexity, micro frontend architecture offers a scalable, modular approach that helps teams work independently, accelerate delivery, and maintain long-term flexibility. Micro Frontends Architecture for Scalable Applications provides a comprehensive, hands-on guide to implementing micro frontends effectively in real-world projects.
    The book starts by defining frontend and backend development, exploring what is considered a valuable architecture, and introducing various frontend architecture patterns.
    Next, it dives into micro frontends and concepts like Domain-Driven Design, Decentralized Governance, and Independent Deployments. It explains how these principles enable highly observable (easy-to-monitor) micro frontends and covers in-depth discussions on integration strategies, their advantages and disadvantages.
    Communication and routing are thoroughly explored, including Container Applications, State Management, and Cross-Application Communication. The book also addresses UI/UX considerations and how micro frontends interact with varying backend patterns.
    The final part focuses on best practices for testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end), deployment strategies, and essential security measures. It concludes with a real-world case study and insights into the future of micro frontends—highlighting emerging trends, evolving architectures, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence.

    AI is inescapable, from its mundane uses online to its increasingly consequential decision-making in courtrooms, job interviews, and wars. 
     
    As Maximilian Kasy shows, artificial intelligence, far from being an unstoppable force, is irrevocably shaped by human decisions—choices made to date by the ownership class that steers its development and deployment. Kasy shows that the technology of AI is ultimately not that complex. It is insidious, however, in its capacity to steer results to its owners’ wants and ends. Kasy clearly and accessibly explains the fundamental principles on which AI works, and, in doing so, reveals that the real conflict isn’t between humans and machines, but between those who control the machines and the rest of us. 
     
    The Means of Prediction offers a powerful vision of the future of AI: a future not shaped by technology, but by the technology’s owners. Amid a deluge of debates about technical details, new possibilities, and social problems, Kasy cuts to the core issue: Who controls AI’s objectives, and how is this control maintained? The answer lies in what he calls “the means of prediction,” or the essential resources required for building AI systems: data, computing power, expertise, and energy. As Kasy shows, in a world already defined by inequality, one of humanity’s most consequential technologies has been and will be steered by those already in power. 
     
    Against those stakes, Kasy offers a framework both for understanding AI’s capabilities and for designing its public control. He makes a compelling case for democratic control over AI objectives as the answer to  
    mounting concerns about AI’s risks and harms. The Means of Prediction is a revelation, both an expert undressing of a technology that has masqueraded as more complicated and a compelling call for public oversight of this transformative technology.

    “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
    		 
    From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
    		 
    Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
    		 
    For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

    A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature Writing 
    The untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts 
    'A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and – of course – the countryside.' Charles Spencer, author of The White Ship 
    For most of human history, we were rural folk.  
    Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places – the church, the green, the school and the marketplace. 
    And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold. 
    There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children’s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past. 
    From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past. 
    In her non-fiction book A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, Sally Coulthard explores the social and cultural dynamics of rural life in Europe. The book, steeped in anthropology and environmental conservation, emphasises the importance of regional studies and the protection of our environment. 
    For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), Clara Parkes (A Stash of One's Own), Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), and Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose).
