Summary

Mosquito Mysteries explores the pervasive impact of mosquitoes on global health, delving into their biology, disease transmission mechanisms, and remarkable resilience. The book investigates why these insects, often considered mere pests, are vectors of deadly diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. A key focus is understanding how mosquitoes locate hosts through sophisticated sensory systems and how their blood-feeding habits facilitate disease spread. The book highlights the adaptability of mosquitoes, examining their ability to evolve resistance to insecticides and exploit diverse breeding habitats. The book systematically progresses through chapters that cover mosquito biology, disease transmission, resilience factors, and novel control strategies like genetic manipulation. By connecting biology, public health, and environmental science, Mosquito Mysteries offers a new perspective on addressing mosquito-borne diseases and controversies surrounding mosquito control.

    Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves. 
     
     
     
    In Infinite Life, Jules Howard explains—with great passion, authority, expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—why it's time to give eggs their moment in the spotlight: it is the eggs that can teach us new and surprising lessons about Earth's history, the trials of life, and the exceptional ways in which natural selection operates to propagate the survival of individual species. 
     
     
     
    Infinite Life: The Revolutionary Story of Eggs, Evolution, and Life on Earth, offers a wholly new perspective on the animal kingdom, and, indeed, life on Earth. By examining eggs from their earliest histories to the very latest fossilized discoveries—encompassing the myriad changes and mutations of eggs from the evolution of yolk, to the hard eggshells of lost dinosaurs, to the animals that have evolved to simultaneously give birth to eggs and live young—Howard reveals untold stories of great diversity and majesty to shed light on the huge impact that egg science has on our lives.

    Book 2 of the Moving Target Trilogy 
    Stevie Parker thought the hard part was over. 
    She survived the phishing. The elder fraud. The romance scam that hit too close to home. She read the book, made the changes, and came out the other side prepared. Then her company got a private equity offer and someone handed her the keys to an AI rollout and told her to move fast. 
    She moved fast. 
    Moving Target: The Obedient Machine follows Stevie through the decisions that looked completely reasonable in the moment — the AI tools adopted without vetting, the policy approved without reading, the vendor demo that checked every box, the employee who was not who the resume said. Twelve mistakes in Book 1 were personal. The mistakes in this book belong to the entire organization. And the consequences are proportional. 
    Alongside Stevie's story, each chapter pulls back the curtain on a real crime operation: deepfake voice cloning, synthetic identity fraud, AI-assisted business email compromise, prompt injection, model poisoning, and the insider threat that was hiding in plain sight for eleven months before anyone looked. All of it documented. None of it theoretical. 
    This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about who is actually in control of it. The machine does not have an agenda. It is obedient. The problem is what it is being told to do, and by whom. 
    Perfect for: Anyone who adopted AI tools without a governance framework. Business leaders who approved a policy without reading it. Anyone who watched the PE deal fall apart and wondered how. Anyone who thought the breach was the worst thing that could happen — right before something worse happened. 
    This is Book 2 in the trilogy. Book 3: Ghost and the Machine -- Coming Fall 2026. Stevie stops being findable. The criminals lose the target. The machine is hers alone.

  • Just Culture - Restoring Trust and Accountability in Your Organisation - cover

    Just Culture - Restoring Trust...

    A just culture is a culture of trust, learning and accountability. It is particularly important when an incident has occurred; when something has gone wrong. How do you respond to the people involved? What do you do to minimize the negative impact, and maximize learning? 
    This third edition of Sidney Dekkera (TM)s extremely successful Just Culture offers new material on restorative justice and ideas about why your people may be breaking rules. Supported by extensive case material, you will learn about safety reporting and honest disclosure, about retributive just culture and about the criminalization of human error. 
    Some suspect a just culture means letting people off the hook. Yet they believe they need to remain able to hold people accountable for undesirable performance. In this new edition, Dekker asks you to look at 'accountability' in different ways. One is by asking which rule was broken, who did it, whether that behavior crossed some line, and what the appropriate consequences should be. In this retributive sense, an 'account' is something you get people to pay, or settle. But who will draw that line? And is the process fair? 
    Another way to approach accountability after an incident is to ask who was hurt. To ask what their needs are. And to explore whose obligation it is to meet those needs. People involved in causing the incident may well want to participate in meeting those needs. In this restorative sense, an 'account' is something you get people to tell, and others to listen to. 
    Learn to look at accountability in different ways and your impact on restoring trust, learning and a sense of humanity in your organization could be enormous.
