  Recounting the Anthrax Attacks -...

  It was September 18, 2001, just seven days after al-Qaeda hijackers destroyed the Twin Towers. In the early morning darkness, a lone figure dropped several letters into a mailbox. Seventeen days later a Florida journalist died of inhalational anthrax. The death from the rare disease made world news. These anthrax attacks marked the first time a sophisticated biological weapon was released in the United States. It killed five people, disfigured at least 18 more, and launched the largest investigation in the FBI's history. 
  Recounting the Anthrax Attacks explores the origins of the innovative forensics used in this case, while also explaining their historical context. R. Scott Decker's team pursued its first suspect with dogged determination before realizing that the evidence did not add up. With renewed energy, they turned to non-traditional forensics—scientific initiatives never before applied to an investigation—as they continued to hunt for clues. These advances formed the new science of microbial forensics, a novel discipline that produced critical leads when traditional methods failed. The new technologies helped identify a second suspect—one who possessed the knowledge and skills to unleash a living weapon of mass destruction.

Obtaining a Cisco Certification validates that the IT professionals are dedicated to their career, it opens up new career paths, and may move them into a higher salary bracket. Cisco Certified professionals are in demand worldwide and that demand is increasing with the rapid technology development growth. They are also among the top-paying jobs in the world! If you are an IT professional wanting to further your career as a Cisco Certified professional, then it all starts with the new CCNA qualification. Recently, Cisco announced that they were revamping their certifications. They want to ensure their courses include all the latest technological innovations that pertain to their industry sector. On 23 February 2020 Cisco will be launching its new courses that affect each level of certification, from entry-level to architect level. They have retired some of their courses in an effort to streamline the certification path. Before, the CCNA consisted of multiple courses and exams, one for each network path, such as CCNA Cloud, CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Security. This meant three different courses and three different exams. The new CCNA replaces these individual CCNA courses and exams, which means one course covering a broader spectrum of IT fundamentals. It also means the IT professional only has to sit one exam to obtain their certificate! This book is a guide to help you discover the new CCNA certificate.

  "The Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation" is a book written by David Ricardo, a British economist who lived from 1772 to 1823. First published in 1817, the book is considered a landmark in the development of classical economics, and is one of the most influential works in the field. 
  In the book, Ricardo lays out his theories of economic rent, labor value, and comparative advantage. He argues that economic rent, which is the difference between the value of a resource and its production cost, is the main source of wealth in an economy. He also discusses the relationship between labor and value, and how labor contributes to the creation of wealth. 
  Ricardo's most famous contribution to economics is his theory of comparative advantage, which argues that countries should specialize in producing goods for which they have a comparative advantage, even if they could produce other goods more efficiently. This theory has had a profound impact on international trade policy. 
  "The Principles of Political Economy, and Taxation" was controversial in its time, and Ricardo's ideas were met with criticism and opposition. However, his work has had a lasting impact on the field of economics, and is still studied and debated today.

  White Hot Light - Twenty-Five...

  Frank Huyler

  Another “pitch-perfect book of short essays” (New York Times Book Review) from the acclaimed author of Blood of Strangers, this one exploring the contemporary practice of medicine from the perspective of a doctor with 25 years of experience in the ER. 
   
  In the late 1990s, a young physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, published a stunning memoir of his experiences in the highly charged world of the ER. Presented in a series of powerful, poetic vignettes, The Blood of Strangers became an instant classic.  
  Now, over two decades later, Dr. Frank Huyler delivers another dispatch from the trenches—this time from the perspective of middle age. In portraits visceral, haunting, sometimes surreal, Huyler reveals the gritty reality of medicine practiced on the razor’s edge between life and death.  
  From the doomed, like the Iraq vet with a brain full of shrapnel, to the self-destructive, like the young woman who inserts a sewing needle into her heart, to the transcendent, like the homeless Navajo artist whose sketches charm the nurses, Huyler assembles a profound mosaic of human suffering and grace, complemented by episodes from his personal life: the hail that fell the night his wife gave birth, his drive through a snowstorm to see his father in a Colorado ER, the beautiful wedding of his childhood friend with terminal cancer. Melding hard-earned wisdom with a poet’s crystalline vision, Huyler evokes the awesome burden of responsibility, the exhaustion, the relief of a costume disco nurse party, and those rare occasions when the confluence of luck and science yield, in the author’s words, “moments of breathtaking greatness.”   
  White Hot Light offers an unforgettable portrait of a field that illuminates society at its most vulnerable, and its most elemental.
