    For many of us, video games offer entertainment and leisure away from the worries of life and its obligations. But what happens behind the scenes of the video game industry? It’s not all fun and games. Press Reset: Ruin and Recovery in the Video Game Industry (2021) offers a deep dive into the world of the video game industry and the people of who work in it. 
    Jason Schreier, a veteran of the industry, provides a well-researched investigation based on interviews. The world of video games is both admirable and complex: from game development to hard business decisions and studio closures, the industry is filled with corrupt leaders, hostility, and abusive bosses. Schreier raises questions about the stability of jobs in the video game industry, and points out that the need for solutions is greater than ever.

    A straightforward and fact-based exploration of how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science answers major questions about Earth as a system Climate change is one of the most hotly contested environmental topics of our day. To answer criticisms and synthesize available information, scientists have been driven to devise increasingly complex models of the climate system. This book conveys that the basics of climate and climate change have been known for decades, and that relatively simple descriptions can capture the major features of the climate system and help the general public understand what controls climate and weather, and how both might be changing. Renowned environmental scientist and educator John D. Aber distills what he has learned from a long fascination with weather and climate, the process of science, and the telling of the story of science. This is not a book about policies and politics. Instead, it explores how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science has been used to answer major questions about the Earth as a system and inform policies that have reversed environmental degradation. By providing a guided tour of the science of weather, this thoughtful survey will contribute clarity and rationality to the public understanding of climate change.

    This book is not a technical introduction to Blockchain technology; there's plenty of freely accessible material on that. Instead, this book makes the case that Blockchains will have at least as much economic impact in the 21st century as corporations in the 20th century. 
    The Blockchain Economy provides you different perspectives on the drastic potential of Blockchain technology to disrupt nearly every business or political system in existence today.  
    Some of the ideas may appear evident to you; others may not yet. But in due time, many of them will be implemented in the real world by practitioners, programmers, and Blockchain architects. Myriads of new ideas and applications of Blockchain technology will see the light of the day.  
    Due to the disruptive value proposition of providing permissionless, trusted, secure, and decentralized information management, these applications will create new blue oceans of opportunity, breaking out of the bloody red oceans of existing centralized financial infrastructures. 
    In particular, you'll learn about the economic impact of Bitcoin, decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), censorship-resistance, governance, and many more key Blockchain concepts--and their impact on today's economy.
