  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

  Then I Am Myself the World -...

  The world's leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future 
   
   
   
  In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems. 
   
   
   
  Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality? 
   
   
   
  This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.

  Have you ever wondered how a programmer develops games and writes code without having to think too much? Do you want to know what makes a programmer confident about the code they write? Do you want to learn how programmers use algorithms to determine how to structure their programs before they develop it? If you did, this is the book for you.  
  An algorithm is a set of rules or instructions you provide to a system. The system performs a specific process to answer a question using these instructions. As an amateur or expert, it is important for you to understand what an algorithm is and how you should define it. Once you learn to develop an algorithm, you can easily learn to develop code to execute that algorithm. Throughout this book, you will learn about the following:Algorithms and their characteristics How you should define the algorithm Types of algorithmsAnalyzing an algorithm based on time and space complexitiesWriting code keeping an algorithm in mind And more!  
  This book will also show you how to implement the sorting and searching algorithms using C and Java programming languages, since these are the most common languages used by programmers. Bear in mind an algorithm is only a set of instructions, and this means you can use an algorithm to write code using different programming languages. You will only need to understand the properties of the programming language and use the right syntax.  
  So, what are you waiting for? If you want to strengthen your understanding of algorithms and write high-performing code, grab a copy of this book now.

  Nowhere Left to Go - How Climate...

  Benjamin von Brackel

  Harrowing journeys of animals and plants—fleeing skyrocketing temperatures—reported from the frontlines of the greatest migration of species since the Ice Age. 
   
   
   
  As humans accelerate global warming while laying waste to the environment, animals and plants must flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often-formidable journey toward the poles as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Tropical zones lose their inhabitants, beavers settle in Alaska, and gigantic shoals of fish disappear—just to reappear along foreign coastlines. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel traces these awe-inspiring journeys and celebrates the remarkable resilience of species around the world. But the lengths these plants and animals must go to avoid extinction are as alarming as they are inspirational: Sea animals—like fish—move on average forty-five miles a decade to cooler regions, while land animals—like beavers and butterflies—move eleven miles. As even the poles of the Earth heat up, we're left with a stark and irreversible choice: Halt the climate emergency now, or face a massive die-off of species, who are increasingly left with nowhere else to go.

  "Java in Action: The Journey of Java: From Core Concepts to Advanced Programming," is for beginners and intermediate programmers who want to master Java. Every chapter comes with exercises and code examples that can help in building and developing problem-solving skills. 
  Right from basic concepts that act as a foundation of Java to high-level programming methods, it takes the reader through the complete journey and prepares the reader with all that would be needed to start programming applications confidently in real life. 
  In the beginning sections, it talks about OOP and some core principles of Java that focus on variables, data types, and control structures. Readers are well-oriented and acquainted with Java basics via simple explanations and working examples. 
  The subjects the book involves become more sophisticated along with this: file handling, multi-threading, structures for data, and more detailed best practices about effective coding and scalability. 
  What is impressive besides analyzing the robust standard libraries and APIs of Java is that it even throws in some valuable insights into how this language can be used for database integration, concurrent programming, and web development. 
  "Java in Action" takes readers beyond syntax so they can understand what Java can do and where it's being applied within all types of industries, so it's the perfect book for any person looking to upgrade his or her programming skills. 
  This book will be a comprehensive and very readable guide to Java's rich programming ecosystem, whether the system you are designing is small or large.
