Sinossi

Niagara Falls is more than just a natural wonder; it's a dynamic intersection of geology, power, and human ambition. This book, "Niagara Falls," unpacks the Falls' history, from its geological origins to the daredevils who challenged its might. Discover how the Niagara Escarpment was formed over millennia and how the Falls continue to erode and reshape the surrounding terrain. The narrative also explores how human ingenuity harnessed the Falls' immense power for hydroelectric power generation, significantly impacting regional development. The book takes a narrative-driven approach, blending scientific analysis with captivating storytelling.

 
It's structured into three parts: Geological Genesis, Power and Progress, and Daredevils of the Divide. The geological section unveils the Falls' natural history, while the power section investigates the engineering behind hydroelectric power. Finally, delve into the documented accounts of those who dared to confront Niagara, examining their motivations and the cultural impact of their actions.

 
By drawing on geological surveys, archival documents, and verified accounts, the book reconstructs the Falls' recession and illustrates the development of hydroelectric infrastructure. It connects to fields like environmental science and technological history while offering insights into risk assessment and the human drive for achievement. This comprehensive account progresses across chapters, providing a broad understanding of Niagara Falls' multifaceted identity for anyone interested in history, earth sciences, and geography.

    From the author of Tokyo Vice comes the wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history. 
     
    Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the internet did for information, but it didn't work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos―especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the center of the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollars' worth of Bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist. 
     
    So what really happened? The Devil Takes Bitcoin tells the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. You'll discover Bitcoin's connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japan's criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devil's dollars. All of this for less than the price of a single Bitcoin.

    Rise of the Machines: A Project Zero Trust Story is a continuation of the 2023 bestseller Project Zero Trust, picking up where the first book left off and addressing issues not covered in the first installment: artificial intelligence, mergers and acquisitions, antivirus, business continuity, and remote work. Artificial Intelligence is the dominant issue discussed in every chapter, providing a case-study-based approach to applying zero trust principles to all the various aspects of artificial intelligence, from MLOps, used by security teams, to use of GPTs, chatbots, and adversarial AI. 
     
     
     
    AI transforms technology by enabling unprecedented automation and decision-making, but securing it with a Zero Trust approach is essential because AI inherently relies on trusted data and systems, making it a target for manipulation. The book also includes discussion around regulatory issues and the alignment of regulation around Zero Trust practices. 
     
     
     
    Rise of the Machines: A Project Zero Trust Story is a timely, essential listen for all IT professionals across industries, including network engineers, system administrators, and cloud architects.
