  Technology is our new life partner. No longer confined to the sidelines, new interactive technologies like AI therapists, avatar friends, and robot assistants are ready to transform technology's role from basic tools of convenience to intimate elements of our social and emotional lives. 
   
    
   
  Blending science, sociology, history, and psychology, Relationships 5.0 asks how recent technological developments cause us to think differently about our family lives, love affairs, and emotional needs. It argues that we are currently living through a technological paradigm shift similar in magnitude to the preceding agricultural, industrial, and informational revolutions in human history. Thanks to the convergence of the cognitive revolution (AI), the sensorial revolution (VR and AR), and the physical revolution (robots), technology can now fulfill emotional, intellectual, and physical needs that have until now been met by other humans. 
   
   
   
  While many are still wary of human-technology companionship, Relationships 5.0 reveals that these novel interactions aren't as risky as we'd once thought, but can instead make our social and emotional lives richer and more diverse. Still, we must ask: What will the age of Relationships 5.0 look like? How should we prepare for such an age? Who might already be ready to embrace these changes, and why?

  In recent years, there has been a growing shift toward sustainable living, and one of the most impactful ways individuals can contribute to environmental stewardship is through permaculture. The Permaculture Home Garden Design and Implementation is designed to guide you through the principles and practices that can transform your home garden into a self-sustaining, ecologically balanced ecosystem. This book is for anyone, whether you are a seasoned gardener or just beginning, who is interested in creating a space that not only provides food but also nurtures the environment. 
  Permaculture, at its core, is a design system rooted in natural ecosystems, aiming to meet human needs while regenerating the planet. It goes beyond organic gardening by integrating every element of your home and garden—plants, animals, structures, and even human activities—into a cohesive whole. By observing the natural world, permaculture teaches us how to mimic the processes found in nature to create systems that are productive, resilient, and low-maintenance. 
  One of the central ideas of permaculture is that a sustainable garden doesn’t need to be a constant source of stress and hard labor. Instead, it’s about working with nature’s rhythms, understanding the needs of your plants and animals, and fostering an environment where they can thrive with minimal external inputs. By applying the permaculture principles to your home garden, you will create a space that grows food, builds soil health, conserves water, supports biodiversity, and ultimately reduces your reliance on outside resources. 
  This book will help you start from the very beginning, guiding you through an in-depth exploration of permaculture principles and their practical application. You will learn how to assess your land, plan your garden using thoughtful design, and implement solutions that foster long-term ecological health.

  Cybersecurity Essentials -...

  Cybersecurity is a critical aspect of the modern world, ensuring the protection of our digital information and systems from various threats. As technology continues to evolve, so do the methods employed by cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity, at its core, involves the practices, technologies, and policies designed to safeguard digital data, networks, and devices from unauthorized access, attacks, or damage. 
  In today’s digital age, cybersecurity has become more important than ever. With the widespread use of the internet for personal, financial, and business purposes, the risks associated with cyber threats are ever-present. Cyberattacks can come in many forms, including hacking, phishing, malware, ransomware, and more, with potential consequences ranging from identity theft and financial loss to the compromise of sensitive business data. These threats are not limited to large corporations or government organizations; individuals, small businesses, and even educational institutions are all at risk. The importance of understanding and implementing effective cybersecurity practices cannot be overstated, as the consequences of neglecting security can be severe. 
  To better understand cybersecurity, it’s essential to grasp the various types of threats that exist. Cybercriminals use a wide range of techniques to gain unauthorized access to systems or information. Hacking, for example, involves exploiting vulnerabilities in software or networks to steal data or disrupt services. Phishing, on the other hand, is a social engineering attack where attackers deceive individuals into providing sensitive information, such as passwords or financial details, through fake emails or websites. Malware, which includes viruses and ransomware, is another common threat, infecting devices and causing damage to data or locking users out of their systems until a ransom is paid.

  A decade to save the planet. 
  That's the current call to arms. Targets are set, governments vow to do their bit and on a societal level we are encouraged to do ours by choosing to forego all things plastic. The question is whether this is the right decision or are we inadvertently at risk of doing more harm than good? Are there other factors in play needing equal consideration? 
  The book will follow the story of plastic, and to an extent rubber (known collectively as polymers), and all with an eye to the overarching theme of the environment. It will ask some challenging questions but also sets out to inform. It begins by building a picture. Just what exactly is a plastic, how did it gain such a dominant role in our lives? Are recent denouncements fully justified? 
  By better understanding plastics, a clearer opinion can be formed of their usefulness and their potential to alleviate serious environmental concerns.
