  Every organization needs a strong security program. One recent study estimated that a hacker attack occurs somewhere every 37 seconds. Since security programs are only as effective as a team's willingness to follow their rules and protocols, it's increasingly necessary to have not just a widely accessible gold standard of security, but also a practical plan for rolling it out and getting others on board with following it. Security Awareness For Dummies gives you the blueprint for implementing this sort of holistic and hyper-secure program in your organization. 
   
   
   
  Written by one of the world's most influential security professionals—and an Information Systems Security Association Hall of Famer—this pragmatic and easy-to-follow book provides a framework for creating new and highly effective awareness programs from scratch, as well as steps to take to improve on existing ones. It also covers how to measure and evaluate the success of your program and highlight its value to management. 
   
   
   
  ● Customize and create your own program 
   
   
   
  ● Make employees aware of the importance of security 
   
   
   
  ● Develop metrics for success

  How to Care for the Insane

  William D. Granger

  The writer believes that all attendants should be regularly instructed in their duties, and the highest standard of care can be reached only when this is done. He also believes that every person who is allowed to care for the insane will be greatly benefited by such instruction, and will be able to learn every thing taught, if the teacher uses simple methods and is patient to instruct. 
   
  As this manual was originally written in 1886, the basic medical instruction IS out-of-date and should not be used to diagnose any medical problem, nor should be used in the case of an emergency. It has been recorded for entertainment purposes only! 
  (Summary from the Introduction and by Ann Boulais)

  Signals in the Noise - Security...

  Signals in the Noise: Security, Technology, and the Hidden Patterns of Modern Risk examines how clarity, judgment, and human discernment can survive in an age dominated by algorithms and information overload. 
  Drawing on lessons from intelligence tradecraft, behavioral science, and crisis management, Reed explores how modern organizations can recover the habits of mind that once defined strategic thinking. Each chapter translates operational insights—from aviation and medicine to corporate command centers—into practical methods for navigating uncertainty. 
  The book argues that true intelligence lies not in speed or scale, but in discernment: the ability to distinguish what matters from what merely shouts the loudest. Reed shows that the future of security depends not on better machines, but on better meaning.

  Cacophony of Bone - The Circle...

  Two days after the winter solstice in 2019, Kerri and her partner moved to a remote cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to settle into a stable life. Then the pandemic arrived and their secluded abode became a place of enforced isolation. What was meant to be the beginning of an enriching new chapter was instead marked by uncertainty and fear. The seasons still passed, the swallows returned, the rhythms of the natural world went on, but in many ways 2020 was unlike any year we had seen before. And for Kerri there would be one more change: a baby, longed for but utterly, beautifully unexpected. 
   
   
   
  Intensely lyrical, fragmentary in subject and form, Cacophony of Bone is an ode to a year, a place, and a love that transformed a life. When the pandemic came, time seemed to shapeshift; in Kerri’s elegant prose, we can trace its quickening, its slowing. She maps the circle of a year—a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life—from one winter to the next, telling of a changed life in a changed world, as well as all that stays the same. All that keeps on living and breathing, nesting and dying. This is a book for the listener who wants to slow down, guided by a voice that is utterly singular, "rich and strange," (Robert Macfarlane). A book about home—the deepening of family, the connections that sustain us.
