Sinopse

"Cockroach Survival" delves into the remarkable resilience of one of nature's most enduring creatures, exploring how cockroaches have thrived for over 300 million years through extraordinary biological adaptations. The book's fascinating journey begins with the insects' most notable survival feat: their ability to live for weeks without a head, thanks to a decentralized nervous system and efficient blood-clotting mechanisms.

 
Through a blend of scientific research and detailed observations, readers discover how these remarkable insects withstand conditions that would obliterate most other species, from radiation exposure to extreme temperatures. The book progresses systematically through three main themes: anatomical adaptations, survival mechanisms, and evolutionary success. Drawing from multiple scientific disciplines, including entomology, biomechanics, and evolutionary biology, it presents complex concepts in clear, accessible language while maintaining scientific rigor.

 
Particularly intriguing is the examination of how cockroach biology influences modern innovation, from disaster-resistant technology to potential medical breakthroughs in antibiotic development. By combining laboratory findings with field observations and advanced imaging techniques, the text reveals previously unknown aspects of cockroach physiology and behavior. The book challenges common perceptions by highlighting these insects' ecological importance and their role in scientific advancement, making it an invaluable resource for biology students, researchers, and science enthusiasts interested in understanding the mechanisms behind biological resilience and adaptation.

    What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting? 
    Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia. 
    A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached. 
    This moving story is part personal diary, part scientific treatise and part practical guide, woven together with humorous anecdotes. Above all, it’s an inspiring account of a daughter in search of her father: the man beyond the grief, despair, depression and dementia. 
    This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us? 
    Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing? 
    The answer is an unequivocal YES! 
    Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life. 
    ‘Who would have thought that dementia could be such an adventure—that adventure, in fact, prevents dementia!’ Dr Sarah Woodbury FRANZCOG

    This is a breakdown of the NIST risk management framework process for cybersecurity professionals getting into security compliance. It is written in layman's terms without the convoluted way it is described in the NIST SP 800-37 revision 2. It goes into what the information system security officer does at each step in the process and where their attention should be focused. 
    Although the main focus is on implementation of the NIST 800 RMF process, this book covers many of the main concepts on certifications such as the ISC2 CGRC.
