  Join acclaimed travel writer and incurably curious hiker Tom Chesshyre in this celebration of the Peak District, Britain’s first National Park, on its 75th anniversary 
  'Funny, fair and honest, and effortlessly readable' Matthew Parris 
  In the heart of England lies a fascinating landscape of rugged dark gritstone plateaus and gentle green limestone valleys: the Peak District. But this national treasure hasn’t always been open to all. 
  On a spring day in 1932, 400 disgruntled ramblers embarked on a ‘mass trespass’ of Kinder Scout, the Peak’s highest point. Their aim? To establish a right to roam across the land, against the wishes of wealthy owners. And in 1951 they finally got what they wanted: the Peak District was established as Britain’s first national park. Home to striking dragon-back ridges of rock, vast expanses of peat, farms and villages, cloughs and caverns, the Peak is much more than the ‘howling wilderness’ described by Daniel Defoe three centuries ago. 
  To mark the park’s 75th anniversary, celebrated travel writer Tom Chesshyre hit the trails on a 360-odd mile ramble to find out how this dramatic landscape has fared – and to celebrate this symbolic home of hiking. 
  Wild Peaks follows winding paths, pausing at old inns and mountain huts, and along the way meeting a rich cast of landowners, farmers, historians, mountaineers, publicans, rangers, right-to-roamers, travellers, mountain-rescue members, mystics, dreamers and fellow hikers. 
  Don your cagoule, grab a compass and join Tom as he explores how this place has changed, and how we have too. 
  For fans of Nige Tassell (Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners), Monisha Rajesh (Moonlight Express), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), Michael Palin (Pole To Pole), and Mark Gregory Probert (Journey through Wales).

  Data lakes and warehouses have become increasingly fragile, costly, and difficult to maintain as data gets bigger and moves faster. Data meshes can help your organization decentralize data, giving ownership back to the engineers who produced it. This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of data mesh patterns for streaming and real-time data services. 
   
   
   
  Authors Hubert Dulay and Stephen Mooney examine the vast differences between streaming and batch data meshes. Data engineers, architects, data product owners, and those in DevOps and MLOps roles will learn steps for implementing a streaming data mesh, from defining a data domain to building a good data product. Through the course of the book, you'll create a complete self-service data platform and devise a data governance system that enables your mesh to work seamlessly. 
   
   
   
  With this book, you will design a streaming data mesh using Kafka; learn how to identify a domain; build your first data product using self-service tools; apply data governance to the data products you create; learn the differences between synchronous and asynchronous data services; and implement self-services that support decentralized data.

  Eat this, not that. Enjoy all foods in moderation. Love yourself. Lose weight. These are just a few of the contradictory messages many of us face every day. No wonder we've never felt more confused about what to eat, how our bodies "should" look, and what it means to be "healthy."Through personal narratives, clinical examples, extant research, as well as expert and stakeholder insights, The New Food Fight offers an incisive guide to the complex and increasingly polarized fields of eating disorders and weight management. Written with both expertise and empathy, the authors unpack common myths, address misinformation, and provide compelling recommendations to unite two fields that, as it turns out, may be more alike than they are different.A must-read for anyone who has grappled with body image concerns, deliberated over what to eat, or found themselves torn between self-acceptance and wanting to change their body.

  Rare Earth Elements & Critical...

  Course #16 from Unteachable Courses 
  Every few years a new headline warns that the world is running out of some element you'd never heard of — lithium, cobalt, gallium, the rare earths. This 24-lecture audio course takes those stories apart and shows what's really happening underneath. 
  The central idea is simple and, once you hear it, hard to unsee: criticality is almost never about the rock. The Earth isn't short of these elements. What's scarce is the refinery — the single plant, the one midstream step where a country or a company holds the valve. Scarcity lives in the supply chain, not the periodic table. The mechanism is the receipt. 
  Across twenty-four hours you'll travel from the magnets inside every EV motor and wind turbine, through the battery metals in your garage, the nuclear stack, the noble gases you can't drill for, the semiconductor and export-ban metals at the heart of today's trade fights, to the byproduct metals nobody mines on purpose that still hold up a jet engine's turbine blade. 
  Every element gets the same forensic treatment: its killer application, the physics that makes it irreplaceable, the real geography of who mines it versus who refines it, and the moment it became "critical." By the end you'll carry a set of instincts you can turn on any "we're running out of X" story — and usually find the chokepoint yourself. 
  No jargon left unexplained. No panic, no doom, no villains — just how the world's most strategic materials actually move, who controls them, and why it matters now. 
  Twenty-four lectures on the elements hidden inside everything you own.
