  Eyes in the Sky - Space...

  Over 50 years ago, astronomers launched the world's first orbiting telescope. This allowed them to gaze further into outer space and examine anything that appears in the sky above our heads, from comets and planets to galaxy clusters and stars. Since then, almost 100 space telescopes have been launched from Earth and are orbiting our planet, with 26 still active and relaying information back to us. 
   
  As a result of these space-based instruments, such as NASA's iconic Hubble Space Telescope, we know much more about the universe than we did half a century ago. But why is Hubble, orbiting just 540 kilometres above the Earth, so much more effective than a ground-based telescope? How can a glorified camera tell us not only what distant objects look like, but their detailed chemical composition and three-dimensional structure as well? 
   
  In Eyes in the Sky, science writer Andrew May takes us on a journey into space to answer these questions and more. Looking at the development of revolutionary instruments, such as Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, May explores how such technology has helped us understand the evolution of the Universe.

  An ideal primer for anyone implementing a PIMS based on ISO/IEC 27701
  ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is a privacy extension to the international information security management standard, ISO/IEC 27001. It has been designed to integrate with ISO 27001 to extend an existing ISMS (information security management system) with additional requirements, enabling an organisation to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve its PIMS.
  ISO 27701 provides guidance on the protection of privacy, including how organisations should manage personal information, and helps demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations around the world, such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
  ISO/IEC 27701:2019: An introduction to privacy information management offers a concise introduction to the Standard, aiding those organisations looking to improve their privacy information management regime, particularly where ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is involved. It is intended for:
  
  - Individuals looking for general information about privacy information management; and
  - Organisations implementing, or considering improving, a PIMS, particularly where the use of ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is being considered.
  It will enable you to understand the basics of privacy information management, including:
  
  - What privacy information management means;
  - How to manage privacy information successfully using a PIMS aligned to ISO/IEC 27701;
  - Key areas of investment for a business-focused PIMS; and
  - How your organisation can demonstrate the degree of assurance it offers with regard to privacy information management.
  This guide will prove useful throughout a number of stages in any privacy information management project – buy your copy today!

  Splinters of Infinity - Cosmic...

  Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
   
   
   
  In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.

  InHumana - An American...

  InHumana: An American Healthcare Story tells how an only child was conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw his widowed mom's life away with the surreptitious aid of unregulated artificial intelligence. 
  Months after a stroke and two seizures robbed author Jeremy White's mom of use of her right side, a federal judge ruled her the victor of their war against Humana for wrongfully denying critically needed care. Their battle, which involved multiple hearings and appeals, is one that fewer than 10 percent of denied Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting, despite a 90 percent success rate for appeals. A Pulitzer-nominated investigation and two class-action lawsuits would eventually demystify Humana's wanton gaslighting by revealing the shocking truth behind their inhumane decisions. 
  InHumana is a timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast that explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood. White's genuine humor buoys heavy topics and hard-learned lessons about a nebulous appeals process. His epilogue—which addresses "Deny," "Defend," and "Depose—was prompted by a surge of interest in InHumana following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

  Remote Sensing Explained: From Satellites to Spatial Analysis is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the science, technology, and real-world applications of remote sensing. Written for students, educators, professionals, and curious readers alike, this book unpacks the complex world of Earth observation with clarity and purpose. It begins with the fundamental principles—exploring electromagnetic radiation, spectral reflectance, and sensor technologies—and progresses to advanced topics such as image classification, spatial analysis, and the integration of remote sensing with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). 
  The book offers rich insights into how satellite data is used across disciplines—from environmental monitoring and agriculture to urban planning, disaster management, and climate science. Through illustrative case studies, practical techniques, and emerging trends like UAVs, AI, and cloud-based geospatial platforms, readers gain both conceptual understanding and hands-on perspective. 
  Equally mindful of ethics and equity, the book also addresses critical challenges such as data accessibility, surveillance concerns, and the global digital divide. Whether you're seeking to enter the geospatial field, enhance your analytical skills, or better understand how we see and shape our world from above, this book is a timely and essential resource for navigating the future of Earth observation.
