  This book contains 3 titles, which are the following: 
  · Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is no longer a niche concern for IT professionals but a critical issue that impacts everyone. From personal data breaches to large-scale corporate hacks, the risks of cyber attacks are more real and damaging than ever. Hackers, cybercriminals, and even state-sponsored entities have the ability to infiltrate systems, steal sensitive data, and disrupt critical services. The consequences of these actions can range from financial loss to the erosion of privacy, and in some cases, even national security threats. 
  · Global Disasters: The world is increasingly vulnerable to a wide array of disasters, both natural and man-made, that threaten our lives, economies, and ecosystems. These crises, which range from catastrophic earthquakes to the far-reaching impacts of climate change, have become more frequent, intense, and interconnected. While the planet has always been subject to the forces of nature, human activity has amplified many of these events, while also introducing new, unprecedented risks. Natural disasters, like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, have become an inevitable part of the global landscape, but they are now exacerbated by the ongoing environmental degradation we’ve caused. 
  · Drug Cartels: Drug cartels have become a pervasive and highly organized criminal force with a significant global reach. These powerful syndicates control large portions of the illegal drug trade, operating not only within their home countries but across continents. Their operations extend far beyond drug trafficking, often influencing global markets, politics, and even social structures. The history of drug cartels is intertwined with the rise of drug consumption worldwide, as their growth is directly linked to the increasing demand for illicit substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and marijuana.

  Wild American ginseng, America's most famous medicinal plant, is in trouble. In plain prose, James McGraw explains why as he translates the latest in ecological and conservation science findings on this unassuming understory herb. As the world's foremost authority on wild ginseng, McGraw is uniquely poised to present this story based on more than twenty years of uninterrupted field research. 
   
   
   
  McGraw traces the dramatic ecological history of ginseng in North America, documenting the ginseng-centric view of a world increasingly dominated by both direct and indirect actions of humans. Far more than a story of a single plant species, ginseng becomes a parable, a canary in a coal mine, for what is happening to our dwindling wild species across the globe. Documenting lingchi (death by a thousand cuts) in human interactions with wild species, McGraw shows us the evidence of our slowly eroding biodiversity and our diminishing global biotreasury. 
   
   
   
  Beyond merely documenting our destruction of nature, McGraw also offers a pathway to an optimistic future for ginseng and the wild species with whom we share the planet. He illuminates how a dramatic expansion of our commitment to sharing the planet with our fellow planetary companions is the key to preservation; and now is the time to do so.

  This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet.I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing.Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos.There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades.For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper.That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years?There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth.Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.

  In "From Within," Parabellum explores a future where humans transcend biological limitations through advanced medical technologies, nanobots, and brain implants. These enhancements allow people to live without illness, aging, or injury, and even communicate telepathically. Yet, these advancements divide society into factions with differing visions of humanity's future. Some pursue the creation of "perfect" humans, while others fear losing the essence of humanity. The power to alter DNA and design offspring with specific traits raises ethical dilemmas, challenging the natural order. As society splits into city-states, corporate territories, and virtual realms, governance becomes complex, with AI and collective decision-making shaping the world. "From Within" delves into the philosophical and ethical questions of identity, freedom, and responsibility in a world where scarcity and death are no longer constants. As humanity stands on the brink of even more incredible transformations, the struggle to define what it means to be "authentically human" continues, shaping the destiny of both enhanced and unchanged individuals. Amidst the tension and competition for resources, new philosophical and legal frameworks emerge, advocating for "morphological freedom"—the right to modify one's body. As traditional concepts like work, education, and family are redefined, humanity must navigate the challenges of this unprecedented era, seeking meaning and direction as they prepare for the next leap into the unknown.
