    In the mid-eighteenth century, most of the Mediterranean coastline and its hinterlands were controlled by the Ottoman Empire, a vast Islamic power regarded by Christian Europe with awe and fear. By the end of the First World War, however, this great civilisation had been completely subjugated, and its territories occupied by European powers. Sea of Troubles is the definitive account of the European conquest of the Levant and North Africa over three centuries. Ian Rutledge reveals the intense imperial rivalry between six European powers - Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Austria-Hungary and Russia - who all jostled for control of the trade, lands and wealth of the Islamic Mediterranean. The competition between these states made their conquest a far more difficult and extended task than they encountered elsewhere in the world. Yet, as new contenders entered the contest, and as rivalries intensified in the early twentieth century, events would spiral out of control as the continent headed towards the First World War.

    Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time. 
    This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better. 
    By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further. 
    Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do. 
    Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.

    Health care as it stands today needs to be re-imagined. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine by Paul Cerrato and Dr. John Halamka challenges the profession to renegotiate its priorities and address the fact that it’s become timid and reluctant to explore new care delivery models. The guiding premise of this book is that rethinking and reimagining the way medicine is practiced in the 21st century will improve health outcomes, and that technology is central to this transformation. Dr. Halamka is the President and Paul Cerrato is the Senior Research Analyst and Communications Specialist for Mayo Clinic Platform, which is harnessing novel technologies to change how care is provided. This cutting-edge work, along with their combined 80 years of experience in healthcare, afford Dr. Halamka and Mr. Cerrato authoritative voices in technology and health care. This book shows how one-size-fits-all health care is slowly giving way to a more precise, personalized approach that takes into account each person’s unique environmental and genetic risk factors. It discusses the use of several emerging technological tools that give each patient a unique “topographical map” to navigate their journey. Artificial intelligence in health care must be accurate, equitable and ethical; providers need to embrace a better way to predict diseases, identify effective treatments and rethink much of the conventional wisdom that has been handed down over the decades. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine provides the guide to doing just that.
