Synopsis

Glaciers of India explores the critical role Himalayan glaciers play in sustaining life in India and the environmental consequences of their rapid melting due to climate change. The book highlights the geography, hydrology, and glaciology of these icy reservoirs, emphasizing their importance to major river systems. It demonstrates how accelerated glacial melt threatens water security and environmental stability across the region, presenting a tangible view of global warming's impact. 

 
The book uniquely combines scientific research with real-world implications, analyzing temperature data, satellite imagery, and field studies to showcase the effects of rising temperatures. For instance, the formation of glacial lakes increases the risk of devastating outburst floods. It progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to the diverse types of glaciers in India, then exploring the science behind glacial movement and the impact of rising global temperatures. 

 
Finally, the book discusses potential mitigation and adaptation strategies, such as sustainable water management practices and community-based disaster preparedness. This comprehensive overview is designed to inform students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone concerned about climate change and water resource management in the Himalayas.

    This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
     
     
     
    The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
     
     
     
    Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.
