Summary

dbt Cloud helps professional analytics engineers automate the application of powerful and proven patterns to transform data from ingestion to delivery, enabling real DataOps.
This book begins by introducing you to dbt and its role in the data stack, along with how it uses simple SQL to build your data platform, helping you and your team work better together. You’ll find out how to leverage data modeling, data quality, master data management, and more to build a simple-to-understand and future-proof solution. As you advance, you’ll explore the modern data stack, understand how data-related careers are changing, and see how dbt enables this transition into the emerging role of an analytics engineer. The chapters help you build a sample project using the free version of dbt Cloud, Snowflake, and GitHub to create a professional DevOps setup with continuous integration, automated deployment, ELT run, scheduling, and monitoring, solving practical cases you encounter in your daily work.
By the end of this dbt book, you’ll be able to build an end-to-end pragmatic data platform by ingesting data exported from your source systems, coding the needed transformations, including master data and the desired business rules, and building well-formed dimensional models or wide tables that’ll enable you to build reports with the BI tool of your choice.

    Most organisations are oblivious to, or terrified about, web accessibility.
You may be aware that 20% of your customers – people with disabilities – could be clicking away from your websites or mobile apps every day, without having bought anything or found the information they needed. You may have received complaints about accessibility problems you don't understand, with people asking for what seem like impossible fixes. Your web teams may have read the industry standard WCAG guidelines, but found them impenetrable. You probably know you could be sued if you don't do the right thing, but you don't know how far you need to go to prevent that. And apart from eliminating risk, what else is in it for your organisation?
In this audiobook, award-winning international accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell shows you how to transform your organisation to consistently and cost-efficiently create websites, mobile apps and other digital products that are usable for all of your customers.
Inclusive Design for Organisations  gives you a clear, strategic business-aligned framework how to embed accessibility policies and processes consistently throughout your organisation, and how to measure the return on your investment.
With insights from leading worldwide accessibility experts who have implemented these processes in their organisations, this book comes with a free library of downloadable support tools, templates, podcasts and videos to help you on your journey to accessibility maturity.
Inclusive Design for Organisations, and its companion, Inclusive Design for Products, will help you comply with both parts of the new International Standard ISO 30071-1.

  • Prolonged Casualty Care - Managing the Critical Casualty - cover

    Prolonged Casualty Care is a comprehensive, clinically grounded audiobook designed for medical responders operating in austere, remote, and high-threat environments where evacuation is delayed or denied. Built upon contemporary Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) doctrine and the Joint Trauma System Prolonged Casualty Care guidelines, this audiobook provides a structured progression from immediate battlefield trauma management into the realities of sustained, resource-limited care. 
The content is written for listeners qualified at the Combat Life Saver level or higher and systematically expands into the clinical, nursing, logistical, and decision-making challenges that define prolonged care. Each chapter follows a clear minimum, better, best framework, allowing practitioners to adapt evidence-based interventions to their available resources, skill level, and operational constraints. Topics include haemorrhage control, airway and ventilation, circulation and resuscitation, head injury and temperature management, pain and sedation, antibiotics and sepsis, wound and burn care, nursing interventions, documentation, communications, and telemedicine support. 
More than a procedural guide, Prolonged Casualty Care emphasises clinical judgement, reassessment, and systems thinking over time. It prepares medics, clinicians, and medical planners to sustain life, preserve function, and prevent secondary injury when definitive care is not immediately accessible. 
This audiobook is based on the Joint Trauma Systems' Clinical Practice Guidelines for PCC. It also draws from Dr Rocky Farr's book called 'The end of the Golden Hour' which can be downloaded for free here. https://tinyurl.com/Rocky-Farr 
This audiobook is intended as both a standalone learning resource and a doctrinal companion for advanced training programmes in prolonged field care, remote medicine, and operational healthcare.

    Died Without Warning is a powerful memoir of survival, faith, and purpose after a life-altering medical crisis. 
When retired U.S. Army veteran SFC Terrance McDuffie suffers a sudden Widowmaker heart attack during a routine workout, his life changes in an instant. With no warning and no time to prepare, his heart stops — forcing him to confront mortality and the hidden toll years of service, stress, and responsibility can take on the body and mind. 
Against overwhelming odds, Terrance survives a medical event that most people never return from. But survival is only the beginning. 
In this deeply personal story, he takes listeners through the moment everything stopped, the long and uncertain road to recovery, and the spiritual awakening that followed. Along the way, he reflects on resilience, identity, faith, and the meaning of a second chance at life. 
Honest, raw, and deeply inspiring, Died Without Warning offers hope to veterans, survivors, caregivers, and anyone facing an unexpected life-altering event. 
It is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, purpose can still be found — and every sunrise is a second chance.
