Richard Johnson

Sinopsis

"Virtualization Technologies and Architectures""Virtualization Technologies and Architectures" presents an in-depth, authoritative exploration of the principles, architectures, and evolving paradigms that define modern virtualization and its pivotal role in today’s IT landscape. Beginning with a historical foundation, the book systematically traces the development of virtualization—from its origins in mainframe partitioning to its central position in contemporary enterprise and cloud computing. Readers are introduced to essential concepts, terminology, and a comprehensive taxonomy of virtualization, establishing a strong baseline for understanding the rationale, efficiency, security, and flexibility that virtualization brings to computing environments.With a technical yet accessible approach, the book delves into the architectural nuances of virtual machines, hypervisors, and containers, detailing their designs, resource management strategies, and the mechanisms that ensure robust isolation and security. Specialized chapters examine state-of-the-art topics such as hardware-assisted virtualization, network and storage virtualization, and the contrasting approaches of full and paravirtualization. The work further investigates the intricacies of OS-level virtualization technologies, including containers and microVMs, uncovering the underlying Linux kernel primitives, orchestration systems like Kubernetes, and emergent models for lightweight and secure computation.Beyond core technologies, this comprehensive volume addresses critical operational aspects such as performance optimization, dynamic resource allocation, and the orchestration and automation of virtualized infrastructure. Advanced discussions cover security threat modeling, side-channel defenses, compliance best practices, and cutting-edge trends shaping the future—including confidential computing, serverless architectures, virtualization at the edge, and sustainable infrastructure designs. "Virtualization Technologies and Architectures" is an indispensable resource for architects, engineers, and technology leaders seeking a holistic and forward-looking understanding of the virtualized world.

Who's a Good Dog? - And How to...

Jessica Peirce

Who's a Good Dog? is an invitation to nurture more thoughtful and balanced relationships with our canine companions. By deepening our curiosity about what our dogs are experiencing, and by working together with them, we can become more effective and compassionate caregivers. 
 
 
  
With sympathy for the challenges met by both dogs and their humans, bioethicist Jessica Pierce explores common practices of caring for dogs, including how we provide exercise, what we feed, how and why we socialize and train, and how we employ tools such as collars and leashes. She helps us both to identify potential sources of fear and anxiety in our dogs' lives and to expand practices that provide physical and emotional nourishment. Who's a Good Dog? also encourages us to think more critically about what we expect of our dogs and how these expectations can set everyone up for success or failure. Pierce offers resources to help us cultivate attentiveness and kindness, inspiring us to practice the art of noticing, of astonishment, of looking with fresh eyes at these beings we think we know so well. And more than this, she makes her findings relatable by examining facets of her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life. As Bella shows throughout, all dogs are good dogs, and we, as humans and dog guardians, could be doing a little bit better to get along with them.

Sound's Fury Unleashed - The...

John Harpoon

Throughout history, humankind has marveled at the natural world, from the majesty of towering mountains to the depths of the oceans. Yet, some phenomena defy explanation, remaining elusive and enigmatic. One such phenomenon is the sonic anomaly known as Sound's Fury—a violent, inexplicable burst of sound that seems to break all the rules of nature. Its origins, causes, and implications have puzzled scientists, captivated the public, and left a trail of unanswered questions. This book delves deep into the sonic enigma, exploring its mystery and the far-reaching impact it has had on the world.
Sound's Fury, a term coined to describe these overwhelming sonic events, is not a fictional occurrence but a genuine, puzzling phenomenon that has been observed around the globe. The first reports came from isolated locations where communities were shaken by intense, thunderous sounds that appeared out of nowhere, yet left no visible source. It wasn't long before similar incidents began to spread across different regions, sparking intrigue, fear, and a sense of helplessness among those who experienced them. What makes this phenomenon even more baffling is the absence of any clear pattern or consistent explanation.
Over time, experts have tried to analyze these events from a scientific standpoint. Acousticians, geophysicists, and even space scientists have worked tirelessly to find answers. They have proposed several theories, ranging from natural phenomena like sonic booms or atmospheric anomalies to more complex, speculative causes, such as unknown seismic activities or extraterrestrial influences. Despite their best efforts, none of these explanations have fully captured the essence of Sound's Fury or provided a definitive answer.

AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep...

Sean O'Callaghan, Paul A. Hoffman

Since ChatGPT burst into the public consciousness in 2022, AI has thoroughly infiltrated everyday life. Machines can now take on work once thought to be solely the domain of human beings--from writing college essays to composing worship music. How should Christians respond to this brave new technology? 
 
In this accessible introduction to AI, Sean O'Callaghan and Paul Hoffman explore its social and ethical impacts for ministry and teaching. The authors shed light on the biblical vision for human flourishing--and on how AI can help or hinder that flourishing. Avoiding both alarmism and uncritical acceptance, O'Callaghan and Hoffman offer resources and practical tools for using AI in our classrooms and congregations. 
 
AI can write a generic three-point sermon, but it cannot replace an authentic encounter between humans and the divine. In a time of cultural confusion, O'Callaghan and Hoffman encourage readers to embrace the clarity found in the gospel. The book includes a foreword by A. Trevor Sutton.
