Summary

Following the success of “The Burgess Bird Book for Children”, Thornton W. Burgess’ fans clamored for more, thus prompting the author to produce “The Burgess Animal Book for Children”, a work similar to its predecessor. In this work the author instead turns his attention to the four-legged animals that populate the natural landscape of North America. Whimsically told through a conversation between Old Mother Nature and Peter Rabbit, characters that fans of Burgess’ work will recognize from his other books, “The Burgess Animal Book for Children” is a delightful and educationally entertaining work of naturalism, beautifully illustrated by artist Louis Agassiz Fuertes. Originally published in 1920, “The Burgess Animal Book for Children” is a classic work that will not only enchant readers of all ages but just may inspire the inner naturalist in all who are so lucky to discover it. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
Available since: 01/01/2015.

    Digital Earth – Cyber threats, privacy and ethics in an age of paranoia
    Whether it's the next big ransomware attack or cyber terrorism, digital threats have evolved drastically in recent years. Issues surrounding phishing, misinformation, cyber terrorism, physical security, and privacy continue to arise for both individual users and large enterprises.
    With technology an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, we need to be aware of digital threats, and be able to identify other threats such as phishing, ransomware, and spyware before they can wreak havoc in our professional or personal lives.
    This book discusses the most prevalent technological threats that we face today. It is an accessible guide that highlights the most common cyber attacks, and explores data ethics and privacy in an age where we hold so much of our PII (personally identifiable information) online.
    It covers cyber threats such as phishing, disinformation versus misinformation in a post-COVID-19 world, cyber terrorism, and the power of social media, and analyzes ever-evolving privacy concerns in response to technological advances. For example, does the use of drones by law enforcement offer us complete security or raise questions around the privacy of citizens?
    The book focuses on:
    
    - The spike in phishing amid the COVID-19 pandemic
    - Cyber terrorism
    - The risks associated with social media
    - Whether drones are a search-and-rescue solution or the all-seeing eye in the sky
