  Welcome to the United States of Cryptids . . . please enjoy your stay! 
   
   
   
  Each year across the United States, there are mysterious and unexplainable firsthand encounters by average people. These encounters beg the question, do monsters exist? From east to west across the US, professionals are actively researching these encounters to prove once and for all that these creatures do exist. 
   
    
   
  American Cryptids takes you on a journey across the country, visiting each state along the way. On this adventure, renowned "cryptopunkologist," Kenney W. Irish, reviews historical data of each state, detailing Native American lore and chilling creature encounters with such cryptids as Sasquatch, Mothman, and Champ the Lake Champlain Monster, to name a few.

  Son of Apollo - The Adventures...

  Christopher A. Roosa grew up the eldest son of Apollo 14 astronaut and command module pilot Stuart A. Roosa. As a child of the space program, Christopher had a ringside seat at the dinner table of one of twenty-four Americans who had either entered lunar orbit or landed on the moon. The first book written by an offspring of an Apollo astronaut to focus on growing up in that era, Son of Apollo tells the inside story of the life of his father, a man who had a remarkable career despite always believing his air force career was "off-track," from his initial application to the service to his removal from the prime crew of Apollo 13 and his subsequent assignment to Apollo 14. During the Apollo 13 mission and recovery, Stuart played an integral role in developing the procedures to return the crew to Earth safely. The focus—and the pressure—of the entire Apollo program then shifted to the Apollo 14 mission. If the Apollo program was to continue, Stuart and the Apollo 14 crew would need to get safely to the moon, land, and return. 
   
   
   
  In writing about his father's career, Christopher Roosa also shows us a familial side of the Apollo experience, from the daily struggles of growing up in the shadow of a father who was necessarily away in training most of the year to the expectations involved in being an astronaut's son.

  In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. ("Chuck") Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
   
   
   
  The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.

  The story behind the historic Mineral King Valley case, which reveals how the Sierra Club battled Disney’s ski resort development and launched a new environmental era in America. 
    
  In our current age of climate change–induced panic, it’s hard to imagine a time when private groups were not actively enforcing environmental protection laws in the courts. It wasn’t until 1972, however, that a David and Goliath–esque Supreme Court showdown involving the Sierra Club and Disney set a revolutionary legal precedent for the era of environmental activism we live in today. 
    
  Set against the backdrop of the environmental movement that swept the country in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dawn at Mineral King Valley tells the surprising story of how the US Forest Service, the Disney company, and the Sierra Club each struggled to adapt to the new, rapidly changing political landscape of environmental consciousness in postwar America. Proposed in 1965 and approved by the federal government in 1969, Disney’s vast development plan would have irreversibly altered the practically untouched Mineral King Valley, a magnificently beautiful alpine area in the Sierra Nevada mountains. At first, the plan met with unanimous approval from elected officials, government administrators, and the press—it seemed inevitable that this expanse of wild natural land would be radically changed and turned over to a private corporation. Then the scrappy Sierra Club forcefully pushed back with a lawsuit that ultimately propelled the modern environmental era by allowing interest groups to bring litigation against environmentally destructive projects. 
    
  An expert on environmental law and appellate advocacy, Daniel P. Selmi uses his authoritative narrative voice to recount the complete history of this revolutionary legal battle and the ramifications that continue today, almost 50 years later.

  Introduction to Quantum Field...

  Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the framework that unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity, providing a theoretical foundation for describing fundamental particles and their interactions. Unlike quantum mechanics, which describes particles as wavefunctions evolving in time, QFT treats particles as excitations of underlying fields that pervade all of space. This shift in perspective is necessary to accommodate relativistic effects and to describe processes such as particle creation and annihilation, which are not possible in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. 
  The motivation for QFT arises from the limitations of single-particle quantum mechanics when applied to high-energy physics. In relativistic systems, particles can be created and destroyed in interactions, as seen in high-energy collisions and radioactive decays. Traditional quantum mechanics, which treats particles as fixed entities, cannot account for such processes. By formulating particles as field excitations, QFT allows for a consistent description of multi-particle interactions and naturally incorporates the principles of special relativity. 
  At its core, QFT extends the principles of classical field theory to quantum systems. Classical field theories, such as Maxwell’s electrodynamics, describe how physical quantities vary across space and time. In QFT, these fields are quantized, meaning that their excitations correspond to discrete particles. The simplest example is the Klein-Gordon field, which describes spin-zero particles like mesons. The quantization of this field leads to the interpretation of its solutions as particle states, obeying relativistic energy-momentum relations.
