  A Silent Spring for our era, this eloquent, urgent, fascinating book reveals how just fifty years of swift and dangerous oceanic change threatens the very existence of life on Earth. Legendary marine scientist Sylvia Earle portrays a planet teetering on the brink of irreversible environmental crisis. 
   
   
   
  In recent decades we've learned more about the ocean than in all previous human history combined. But, even as our knowledge has exploded, so too has our power to upset the delicate balance of this complex organism. Modern overexploitation has driven many species to the verge of extinction. Since the mid-twentieth century about half our coral reefs have died or suffered sharp decline; hundreds of oxygen-deprived "dead zones" blight our coastal waters; and toxic pollutants afflict every level of the food chain. 
   
   
   
  Fortunately, there is reason for hope, but what we do—or fail to do—in the next ten years may well resonate for the next ten thousand. The ultimate goal, Earle argues passionately and persuasively, is to find responsible, renewable strategies that safeguard the natural systems that sustain us. The first step is to understand and act upon the wise message of this accessible, insightful, and compelling book.

  Lakes might be the most misunderstood bodies of water on earth. And while they may seem commonplace, without lakes our world would never be the same. In this revealing look at these lifegiving treasures, John Richard Saylor shows us just how deep our connection to still waters run. 
   
    
    
  Lakes is an illuminating tour through the most fascinating lakes around the world. Whether it's Lake Vostok, located more than two miles beneath the surface of Antarctica, whose water was last exposed to the atmosphere perhaps a million years ago; Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, the world's deepest and oldest lake formed by a rift in the earth's crust; or Lake Nyos, the so-called Killer Lake that exploded in 1986, resulting in hundreds of deaths, Saylor reveals to us the wonder that exists in lakes found throughout the world. Along the way we learn all the many forms that lakes take—how they come to be and how they feed and support ecosystems—and what happens when lakes vanish.

  Do you want to improve cyber defense quickly, without complex mumbo jumbo, and come to work knowing you improved things noticeably?People say that one important secret to success is BEING PREPARED. When an attack happens, you don't want to be the person or team in complete panic. In an episode, terror becomes the worst enemy and can lead to mistakes. When we panic, we miss important clues about the attack, campaign, or attacker. Having a basic knowledge of general (cyber)security terms and concepts helps us respond faster and professionally than most teams without that training or expertise.This book focuses on essential concepts in the least amount of time and pages to give you the basic knowledge to stay focused.    Understand how to work with incidents and follow best practices from NIST and SANs    Understand what types of risks you and your business face using social media    Understand and realize why IOC (indicators of compromise) are minimal as a defense strategy    Understand the limitations of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, as well as cyber products and services based on them    Use new theories and methodologies for discovering deep fakes, fake science, and fake news sites, as well as the interest groups behind them.    Build better Security Operations and Cyber Defense teams with new methodologies and innovationBe better prepared for a career, leadership role, team, or management role in security and security research from your first day, then please scroll up and click on the "buy now" button right now!

  Introduction to General...

  General Relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915, revolutionized our understanding of gravity. It describes gravity not as a force in the traditional sense, as in Newtonian physics, but as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. This groundbreaking theory was not only a significant departure from previous models of gravity but also the foundation for modern cosmology and astrophysics. 
  At the core of General Relativity is the concept that massive objects like planets, stars, and galaxies bend the fabric of spacetime around them. This curvature influences the movement of objects within it, including light, which explains phenomena such as gravitational lensing, where light bends around massive objects. The equation that governs this curvature is Einstein’s famous field equation, which mathematically relates the geometry of spacetime to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present. 
  Before Einstein’s work, gravity was understood in terms of Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which described gravitational force as an instantaneous action at a distance between two masses. While this model worked well for many practical applications, it had limitations, especially in extreme conditions such as those near very massive objects or moving at high velocities. General Relativity resolved these issues by providing a more accurate description of gravitational phenomena, particularly in scenarios involving high gravitational fields, such as near black holes or in the context of cosmology.
