Summary

Historical Cyberwar delves into the surprising origins of cyber warfare, revealing a hidden history where nations exploited electronic system vulnerabilities long before the internet era. It explores how electronic intelligence gathering, offensive cyber capabilities, and electronic sabotage evolved as tools of statecraft. Cyber warfare is not a recent phenomenon but a continuum of technological adaptation in military strategy.

 
Consider early intelligence breaches during the Cold War, where electronic surveillance played decisive roles, setting the stage for future conflicts. The book charts the progression of cyber tactics from the Cold War through the early 21st century, emphasizing that modern strategies are built upon decades of experimentation.

 
It analyzes intelligence breaches, offensive cyber operations, and electronic sabotage across three major sections. By connecting military history with computer science and international relations, Historical Cyberwar treats cyber warfare as an integrated component of military and political strategy. It provides insights for cybersecurity professionals and policymakers by understanding the strategic and historical context of modern cyber warfare.

Cloud Warriors - Deadly Storms...

Thomas E. Weber

For millennia, humans have tried to understand and predict the weather. The Space Age helped usher in satellites and radar, while computers made it possible to plug all that data into complex equations that anticipated the atmosphere's future behavior. Now a new age of advances in forecasting is unfolding, driven by AI, drones, and satellites. The Internet of Things has turned everything from cellphones to cars into ubiquitous weather sensors. Equally significant are new efforts to understand how people respond to forecasts and warnings. Scientists and government officials are realizing that how people get their weather information, and how they use it, are crucial factors in the outcome of a catastrophic weather event. 
 
 
 
Employing in-depth reporting on cutting edge science and technology, veteran journalist Thomas E. Weber takes us on a tour of how meteorologists, scientists, and officials track and prepare for major weather events. As climate change is altering our planet and making weather events more extreme, Weber introduces us to those on the front lines of weather preparation and prediction. We travel from coast-to-coast, to space and back, meeting TV meteorologists and storm chasers, city planners, backyard weatherman, and many others. Cloud Warriors will change the way you think about the weather—and the power of being able to see it coming.

Beyond Your Doorstep - A...

Hal Borland

The inspiring classic on the virtues of embracing the great outdoors from the nationally bestselling author of The Dog Who Came to Stay. 
 
 
 
Over the course of his career, Hal Borland wrote eight nature books and hundreds of "outdoor editorials" for the Sunday New York Times, extolling the virtues of the countryside. From his home on one hundred acres in rural Connecticut, Borland wrote of the natural wonders, both big and small, that surrounded him every day. Beyond Your Doorstep is his guide to venturing into the outdoors around your home, wherever it is, and discovering the countryside within reach. 
 
 
 
The beauty to be found in roadsides, meadows, woodlands, and bogs are explored in elegant prose. Borland takes up birds, animals, and plants—both edible and poisonous—and the miraculous ways in which they are threaded together throughout the natural world. Part introductory field guide and part incitement to exploration, Beyond Your Doorstep is a classic of nature writing and a must-listen for anyone looking to renew his or her relationship to the outdoors.

Software Engineering for Data...

Catherine Nelson

Data science happens in code. The ability to write reproducible, robust, scaleable code is key to a data science project's success—and is absolutely essential for those working with production code. This practical book bridges the gap between data science and software engineering, and clearly explains how to apply the best practices from software engineering to data science. 
 
 
 
Examples are provided in Python, drawn from popular packages such as NumPy and pandas. If you want to write better data science code, this guide covers the essential topics that are often missing from introductory data science or coding classes, including how to understand data structures and object-oriented programming; clearly and skillfully document your code; package and share your code; integrate data science code with a larger code base; learn how to write APIs; create secure code; apply best practices to common tasks such as testing, error handling, and logging; work more effectively with software engineers; write more efficient, maintainable, and robust code in Python; put your data science projects into production; and more.

Where the Earth Meets the Sky -...

Louise K. Blight

Antarctica is a land of extremes. But while its hurricane force winds, tooth-breaking cold, and resident penguins have long been iconic, the perspective of a practicing female scientist is all but absent from modern day Antarctic accounts. Where the Earth Meets the Sky fills that gap.Louise and her campmate David Ainley—one of the greatest Antarctic scientists on the planet—live in a world defined by hostile weather, breathtaking beauty, a continuous parade of avian visitors, and an occasional human visitor. There she explores the lingering grief that has followed the untimely death of her sister, and presents penguins as a window into how climate change and other environmental impacts are altering what has been one of the most untouched corners of the globe.While penguins and the awe-inspiring landscapes they inhabit provide the thread that runs through this story, a central theme is how the world's most unforgiving environment has shaped the psyches of Antarctica’s human visitors, past and present.Experiencing the Antarctic wildernesses has the potential to heal the human psyche and, perhaps, to give us the optimism to reimagine our relationship with the natural world.
