Sinopse

Dark Matter Evidence investigates the compelling scientific evidence for dark matter, a mysterious substance constituting about 85% of the universe's mass. This exploration is vital for grasping galaxy formation and the cosmos's large-scale structure.

 
The book delves into astrophysical observations and particle physics research, revealing how galactic rotation curves defy Newtonian physics, suggesting unseen mass. Gravitational lensing, where massive objects bend light, further supports dark matter's presence, subtly altering the cosmic microwave background.

 
The book systematically guides readers through complex topics, starting with the history of dark matter and fundamental concepts. It then explores key evidence, such as galactic rotation curves, gravitational lensing, and the cosmic microwave background, demonstrating how these observations converge to support the existence of dark matter.

 
Leading particle candidates like WIMPs and axions are discussed, alongside ongoing detection efforts. The book's interdisciplinary approach connects astrophysics, particle physics, and cosmology, emphasizing the complementary nature of various experimental methods, including data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Large Hadron Collider.

 
It presents an authoritative and factual tone, making complex topics accessible while maintaining scientific rigor, addressing debates like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and its viability against current evidence.

Ransom War - How Cyber Crime...

Max Smeets

This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
 
 
 
The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
 
 
 
Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.

The Safety Anarchist - Relying...

Sidney Dekker

Work has never been as safe as it seems today. Safety has also never been as bureaucratized as it is today. Over the past two decades, the number of safety rules and statutes has exploded, and organizations themselves are creating ever more internal compliance requirements. At the same time, progress on safety has slowed to a crawl. Many incident- and injury rates have flatlined. Worse, excellent safety performance on low-consequence events tends to increase the risk of fatalities and disasters. Bureaucracy and compliance now seem less about managing the safety of the workers we are responsible for, and more about managing the liability of the people they work for. We make workers do a lot that does nothing to improve their success locally. Paradoxically, such tightening of safety bureaucracy robs us of exactly the source of human insight, creativity and resilience that can tell us how success is actually created, and where the next accident may well happen. 
It is time for Safety Anarchists: people who trust people more than process, who rely on horizontally coordinating experiences and innovations, who push back against petty rules and coercive compliance, and who help recover the dignity and expertise of human work.
