  Do you keep an eye on world events through mainstream media? If so, chances are you have missed out on many essential news stories from countries around the world. 
  While many news outlets will cover European, U.K., and U.S. news in great detail, they often leave out essential news from other continents, especially Africa. 
  And yet, that doesn’t mean that newsworthy events occur there every day, just like in the UK. 
  In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years. 
  If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place. 
  Introducing, But, Whose Fault? Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition. 
  Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen. 
  In many ways, the conflict surrounding the missing rifles is a point of convergence of the exploitation of Africa and the negligence shown toward the local people and their value to the world. 
  It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told. 
  Inside, But, Whose Fault? Part One, discover: 
  ●	essential background information about the local people and community 
  ●	the political context behind the events that unfolded 
  ●	the initial factors that influenced the confrontation 
  ●	the company behind the Nguvu mining project 
  ●	the disappearance, search, and fallout from the missing rifles 
  If you are at all interested in the rich history and real-life stories of Africa, this book is a must-read.

  Science for a Green New Deal -...

  Since it was first proposed in the US House of Representatives, the Green New Deal has been hotly debated. The intent was not simply to fight climate change or address a specific environmental concern, but rather to tackle how climate change and other environmental challenges affect the economy, the vulnerable, and social justice—and vice versa. 
   
   
   
  In Science for a Green New Deal, Eric Davidson dissects this legislative resolution. He also shows how green new deal thinking offers a framework for a convergence of the natural sciences, social science, economics, and community engagement to develop holistic policy solutions to the most pressing issues of our day. Davidson weaves the case for linkages among multiple global crises, including a pandemic that has reversed progress on fighting poverty and hunger, an acceleration of climate change, and a renewed awareness of profound social injustices highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement. 
   
   
   
  Illustrating these points with his personal life experiences as a child growing up in Montana and as a famed researcher leading a large scientific society, Davidson relates these complex challenges to our everyday lives and decision-making. Science for a Green New Deal is a realistic and optimistic look at how we can attain a more sustainable, prosperous, and just future.

  Google's work culture has gained legendary status, earning both admiration and satire. Setting aside the mythology, Schmidt and Rosenberg attribute Google's success to its founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who created an environment attracting top-tier talent. 
  The company employs a rigorous hiring process to select exceptional candidates, seeking brilliance and well-rounded individuals. From executives to entry-level, everyone works in shared office spaces, fostering collaboration across roles and disciplines. Alongside the famed Google perks like pool tables and well-stocked kitchens, these amenities aim to encourage diverse interactions that spark collaboration and creative thinking. 
  Google's management structure is designed to facilitate the free-flowing expansion of ideas, resembling a web more than a pyramid. Emphasizing minimal hierarchy and bureaucratic procedures, employees are encouraged to take action and challenge ideas constructively. Every employee publicly lists personal objectives and key results to clarify goals and priorities.  
  Failure is viewed as a learning opportunity, promoting a proactive approach. 
  This management style leads to spontaneous and successful results.  
  For instance, when irrelevant ads surfaced on a Google search, Page addressed the issue promptly without calling a meeting. This approach allowed a group of engineers to devise a solution over the weekend, demonstrating the company's agility and responsiveness.

  In the microscopic realm of human disease, viral pathogens represent some of the most elusive, adaptable, and consequential threats to global health. Operating at the boundary between living and non-living entities, viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to hijack cellular machinery, evade immune detection, and persist within host populations. This comprehensive exploration delves into three viral infections of profound clinical and social significance—HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis, and Herpes—each representing a distinct paradigm of viral pathogenesis, chronicity, and impact on human health and society. 
  The narrative of viral infections extends far beyond clinical manifestations; it encompasses complex immunological interactions, epidemiological patterns, and profound social dimensions that reshape individual lives and collective health systems. By examining the molecular mechanisms, transmission dynamics, clinical progression, and therapeutic approaches to these viral conditions, this book illuminates how these stealthy pathogens navigate human biology to establish persistent infections with far-reaching consequences. Readers will journey through the intricate biological landscapes where these viruses operate—from the immune devastation of HIV to the liver-centric pathology of hepatitis viruses and the neurotropic persistence of herpes viruses—while also exploring the broader contexts of stigma, public health challenges, and the remarkable scientific advances that have transformed many of these once-devastating diagnoses into manageable chronic conditions. Through evidence-based information, historical context, and forward-looking analysis, we seek to deepen understanding of these complex viral infections that continue to challenge medical science while profoundly affecting millions of lives globally.

  A Hacker's Mind - How the...

  It’s not just computers—hacking is everywhere. 
   
  A hack is any means of subverting a system’s rules in unintended ways. The tax code isn’t computer code, but a series of complex formulas. It has vulnerabilities; we call them “loopholes.” We call exploits “tax avoidance strategies.” And there is an entire industry of “black hat” hackers  
  intent on finding exploitable loopholes in the tax code. We call them accountants and tax attorneys. 
   
  In A Hacker’s Mind, Bruce Schneier takes hacking out of the world of computing and uses it to analyze the systems that underpin our society: from tax laws to financial markets to politics. He reveals an array of powerful actors whose hacks bend our economic, political, and legal  
  systems to their advantage, at the expense of everyone else. 
   
  Once you learn how to notice hacks, you’ll start seeing them everywhere—and you’ll never look at the world the same way again. Almost all systems have loopholes, and this is by design. Because if you can take advantage of them, the rules no longer apply to you. 
   
  Unchecked, these hacks threaten to upend our financial markets, weaken our democracy, and even affect the way we think. And when artificial intelligence starts thinking like a hacker—at inhuman speed and scale—the results could be catastrophic. 
   
  But for those who would don the “white hat,” we can understand the hackingmindset and rebuild our economic, political, and legal systems to counter those who would exploit our society. And we can harness artificial intelligence to improve existing systems, predict and defend  
  against hacks, and realize a more equitable world.
