  Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.

  Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
   
   
   
  David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
   
   
   
  Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.

  Rise of the Machines: A Project Zero Trust Story is a continuation of the 2023 bestseller Project Zero Trust, picking up where the first book left off and addressing issues not covered in the first installment: artificial intelligence, mergers and acquisitions, antivirus, business continuity, and remote work. Artificial Intelligence is the dominant issue discussed in every chapter, providing a case-study-based approach to applying zero trust principles to all the various aspects of artificial intelligence, from MLOps, used by security teams, to use of GPTs, chatbots, and adversarial AI. 
   
   
   
  AI transforms technology by enabling unprecedented automation and decision-making, but securing it with a Zero Trust approach is essential because AI inherently relies on trusted data and systems, making it a target for manipulation. The book also includes discussion around regulatory issues and the alignment of regulation around Zero Trust practices. 
   
   
   
  Rise of the Machines: A Project Zero Trust Story is a timely, essential listen for all IT professionals across industries, including network engineers, system administrators, and cloud architects.

  Sauvage - My fight to end animal...

  A passionate animal lover, Jérôme Pensu denounces the trafficking of wild animals in France, which is worth hundreds of millions of euros every year; he explains the mechanisms at play, the scale of the problem and the techniques used by criminals to make their business prosper; he points out, with specific cases to back it up, the incredible impunity enjoyed by fraudsters; and he lists a series of proposals to put an end, at last, to this scandal that endangers biodiversity - in other words, us.
  Sauvage! tells of pink flamingos atrophied to enrich zoos, macaques sent to their deaths in the name of environmental preservation, reptiles tortured for the needs of unscrupulous pet shops. He also talks about massive laundering, unashamed regularization and euthanasia of felines... All wild animals are concerned. He also talks about concrete, precise, immediate solutions that could put a stop to this massacre. 
  Because wildlife trafficking in France is not inevitable. It's up to each and every citizen to take part in the public debate to put an end to this scandal, which is almost as profitable as dealing hard drugs, and even more harmful in the long term for our planet and the human species. This book is also here to explain that anything is still possible, if citizens, families and children become aware of the uncontrolled traffic.
