Sinopsis

"Drought Resistant Plants" offers a timely and comprehensive exploration of water-efficient gardening solutions in an era of increasing climate challenges. This authoritative guide bridges the gap between scientific understanding and practical application, examining how plants naturally adapt to drought conditions and how gardeners can leverage these adaptations in sustainable landscaping.

 
The book's unique three-part structure begins with the fascinating science behind plant adaptation mechanisms, such as waxy cuticles and modified root systems, before moving into hands-on applications for garden design and maintenance. Through a combination of botanical research and real-world case studies, readers learn how to select, install, and care for a wide range of drought-resistant species, from familiar succulents and cacti to Mediterranean herbs and native grasses. The integration of water consumption data and survival rate studies provides evidence-based recommendations that readers can trust.

 
What sets this resource apart is its comprehensive yet accessible approach to regional considerations and practical implementation. Whether you're a professional landscaper or dedicated home gardener, the book provides detailed guidance for creating water-efficient landscapes that maintain visual appeal. The inclusion of seasonal care calendars, troubleshooting guides, and design templates makes it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in sustainable gardening practices, while its foundation in extensive botanical research ensures its recommendations are both practical and scientifically sound.

    A clear, concise primer on the GDPRThe GDPR aims to unify data protection and ease the flow of personal data across the EU. It applies to every organisation in the world that handles EU residents' personal data.While the GDPR is not law in countries outside the EU, it is effectively part of the legislative environment for organisations that do business with the EU. This is enforced through a combination of international trade law and business pressure – after all, a partner in the EU is unlikely to want to risk engaging with a company in the US, Australia or Singapore (or anywhere else) that will put them at risk.EU GDPR – An international guide to compliance is the ideal resource for anyone wanting a clear primer on the principles of data protection and their obligations under the GDPR.A concise pocket guide, it will help you understand:- The terms and definitions used in the GDPR, including explanations;- The key requirements of the GDPR, including:- Which fines apply to which Articles;- The principles that should be applied to any collection and processing of personal data;- The Regulation's applicability;- Data subjects' rights;- Data protection impact assessments;- The data protection officer role and whether you need one;- Data breaches, and notifying supervisory authorities and data subjects; and- Obligations for international data transfers.- How to comply with the Regulation, including:- Understanding your data, and where and how it is used (e.g. Cloud suppliers, physical records);- The documentation you must maintain (such as statements of the information you collect and process, records of data subject consent, processes for protecting personal data); and- The "appropriate technical and organisational measures" you need to take to ensure compliance with the Regulation.- A full index of the Regulation, enabling you to find relevant Articles quickly and easily.Supplemental material While most of the EU GDPR's requirements are broadly unchanged in the UK GDPR, the context is quite different and will have knock-on effects. You may need to update contracts regarding EU–UK data transfers, incorporate standard contractual clauses into existing agreements, and update your policies, processes and procedural documentation as a result of these changes.  We have published a supplement that sets out specific extra or amended information for this pocket guide. Click here to download the supplement. About the authorAlan Calder is the Group CEO of GRC International Group plc, the AIM-listed company that owns IT Governance Ltd.

    As we approach 2050, it is projected that human consciousness will encounter a superior intelligence for the very first time: artificial machine intelligence. It is important for us to understand the evolutionary impact of this event, but also that we are being altered from the inside out for the singularity to arise. 
    Are we ready? 
    Will we be adaptive? 
    How will we change? 
    The Coming Singularity explores the psychological impact of the changes coming our way and the many adaptations we will have to make. 
    We are transitioning to a world of one degree of separation, with only the illusion of privacy, autonomy and anonymity. All of us are undergoing a transition to an electronic identity, one that can reach back and change the real you. The question going forward will be, who is the real you? 
    A cluster of psychological symptoms are evolving from our technology interface––Identity Diffusion. Its key feature is the de-realization of life. 
    Direct brain-to-technology interfaces will soon render our brains an open-source forum. We need to discuss who is in there and why! 
    The impact of e-technology on human identity will be profound, but it is also a prerequisite for machine intelligence to arise. We need to discuss this. 
    We humans reside in complex, dynamical networks. The goal of artificial intelligence will be to evolve and stabilize these networks. And we may not be the priority.
