  Owning the Sun - A People's...

  Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
   
   
    
  Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.

  A revelatory tale of how the human brain develops, from conception to birth and beyond 
   
   
   
  By the time a baby is born, its brain is equipped with billions of intricately crafted neurons wired together through trillions of interconnections to form a compact and breathtakingly efficient supercomputer. Zero to Birth takes you on an extraordinary journey to the very edge of creation, from the moment of an egg's fertilization through each step of a human brain's development in the womb—and even a little beyond. 
   
   
   
  As pioneering experimental neurobiologist W. A. Harris guides you through the process of how the brain is built, he takes up the biggest questions that scientists have asked about the developing brain, describing many of the thrilling discoveries that were foundational to our current understanding. He weaves in a remarkable evolutionary story that begins billions of years ago in the Proterozoic eon, when multicellular animals first emerged from single-cell organisms, and reveals how the growth of a fetal brain over nine months reflects the brain's evolution through the ages. Our brains have much in common with those of other animals, and Harris offers an illuminating look at how comparative animal studies have been crucial to understanding what makes a human brain human.

  Advanced Cybersecurity -...

  In the digital age, cybersecurity has become one of the most critical aspects of both personal and organizational operations. As technology continues to evolve and more systems become interconnected, the threat landscape has grown increasingly complex. Modern cybersecurity not only addresses the protection of networks and devices but also involves safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in the face of constantly evolving threats. This chapter provides an overview of what modern cybersecurity entails and the key components that are essential to creating robust defense mechanisms. 
  Cybersecurity today is far more than just installing antivirus software or setting up firewalls. As cybercriminals grow more sophisticated, the need for advanced security frameworks and strategies has never been greater. The introduction of new technologies, like the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), has expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals, creating more opportunities for exploitation. Attacks now can come from anywhere, targeting not just computers but mobile devices, servers, and even connected appliances. 
  At its core, modern cybersecurity is about understanding the various threats and the methods used by attackers. These threats can range from malware, phishing, and ransomware to more advanced persistent threats (APTs) often launched by state-sponsored actors. The motives behind cyberattacks are diverse, from financial gain and intellectual property theft to causing widespread disruption and damage to critical infrastructure. As these threats become more varied and complex, cybersecurity professionals must constantly adapt and stay ahead of emerging risks. This has led to the creation of more advanced cybersecurity practices, including penetration testing, threat intelligence, and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
