  Into Stability: Walter R. Evans and the Story of Root Locus tells the remarkable story of a quiet but transformative breakthrough in engineering—one that reshaped modern control systems and helped guide technological progress during the Cold War. 
  In the late 1940s, as engineers struggled to design increasingly complex feedback systems for aircraft, radar, and emerging technologies, stability remained one of the most difficult problems in control engineering. Walter Evans, working with a rare combination of mathematical insight and practical intuition, developed a graphical technique that allowed engineers to visualize how system stability changed as parameters shifted. This method—later known as the root locus—quickly became one of the most powerful and widely taught tools in control theory. 
  The book traces Evans’s journey from his early life and education through the intellectual environment that shaped his thinking, revealing how curiosity, persistence, and unconventional problem-solving led to a breakthrough that would influence generations of engineers. 
  Beyond the mathematics, Into Stability is also a human story—of family, mentorship, and the legacy of innovation. Gregory W. Evans blends personal recollections with historical context to illuminate how one engineer’s idea spread through classrooms, laboratories, and industries worldwide. The result is both a tribute and a historical narrative that captures the spirit of discovery that drives engineering progress. 
  Ultimately, the book reveals how a deceptively simple graphical technique became a cornerstone of modern control engineering—shaping everything from aerospace systems to robotics and beyond—while honoring the life and contributions of the man who first drew stability into view.

  Hospice nurse Penny Terrell has walked alongside countless people in their final moments-holding hands, offering comfort, and witnessing scenes she could never explain. Moments when the dying reach out to loved ones long gone. When they smile at an unseen presence. When they speak to mothers, fathers, children, and even pets who have been absent for decades.In Not Going Alone, Penny shares these stories-not as proof or persuasion, but as a collection of experiences too beautiful to forget. From a boy who saw his sister with her favorite teddy bear, to an elderly woman greeting her mother on a birthday eighty years too late, these accounts cross boundaries of belief, culture, and age.Told with compassion and humility, these stories offer comfort to the grieving, hope to the fearful, and wonder to the curious. They remind us that death may not always be an ending-it is a moment of connection that reaches beyond the veil.If you have ever sat by a loved one's bedside and felt something you could not explain, Not Going Alone will speak to you.

  Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
   
   
   
  Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
   
   
   
  To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

  Being human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed. 
   
   
   
  In this lively and provocative book, leading biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes begins by tracing the origin and evolution of sex, describing the many ways in the animal kingdom of being female, male, or both. Turning to humans, he presents evidence from the fossil and archaeological record that attests to the diversity of our ancestors' sexual bonds, gender roles, and family and community structures, and shows how the same holds true in the lived experiences of people today. Fuentes tackles hot-button debates around sports and medicine, explaining why we can acknowledge that females and males are not the same while also embracing a biocultural reality where none of us fits neatly into only one of two categories. 
   
   
   
  Bringing clarity and reason to a contentious issue, Sex Is a Spectrum shares a scientist's perspective on why a binary view of sex and gender is not only misguided but harmful, and why there are multitudes of ways of being human.

  Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks that aim to access, change, or destroy sensitive information, extort money from users, or interrupt normal business processes. In the modern digital world, where every aspect of personal life, business, and government is connected through information technology, the importance of cybersecurity has grown exponentially. 
  This comprehensive exploration of cybersecurity provides a deep understanding of the concepts, technologies, practices, and challenges in the field. It covers the history and evolution of cybersecurity, common types of cyber threats (such as malware, phishing, ransomware, and DDoS attacks), critical cybersecurity principles (like confidentiality, integrity, and availability), and the various domains involved, including network security, application security, information security, and operational security. 
  It further examines cybersecurity frameworks and standards, risk management strategies, the role of cryptography, security policies, and incident response procedures. Real-world case studies are analyzed to highlight the consequences of cyber-attacks and the lessons learned. The final sections address cybersecurity in emerging technologies (like AI, IoT, and cloud computing), international regulations, and the future of global cybersecurity. 
  This guide is ideal for students, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the mechanisms, tools, and importance of defending digital infrastructure in the 21st century.
