Beschreibung

"Hidden Coral Cities" offers a fascinating exploration of coral reef ecosystems, revealing how these underwater metropolises support a quarter of all ocean species while occupying just a tiny fraction of the ocean floor.

 
The book presents a groundbreaking perspective by comparing coral reefs to urban systems, complete with neighborhoods, transportation networks, and resource distribution systems, providing readers with an innovative framework for understanding these complex marine environments. Through a combination of traditional marine biology and cutting-edge technology, including 3D mapping and genetic analysis, the book guides readers through three main sections: the physical architecture of reef systems, the intricate biological interactions within reef communities, and pressing conservation challenges.

 
Drawing from fifty years of marine research, including data from prestigious organizations like the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the text illuminates how coral polyps construct elaborate calcium carbonate frameworks that become the foundation for entire ecosystems. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting marine biology with urban planning, chemistry, and climate science to demonstrate the far-reaching implications of reef ecosystem health.

 
Written in an accessible yet technically accurate style, it serves both academic and general audiences, offering practical insights for reef conservation while addressing current debates about restoration techniques and climate change adaptation strategies. The inclusion of detailed diagrams, maps, and photographs helps readers visualize and understand these complex marine systems that are so crucial to global ocean health.

The Shortest History of Our...

David Baker

A complete history of the universe, spanning 13.8 billion years in an ultra-accessible, uncommonly illuminating, exhilarating chronicle of key events 
 
 
 
In this thrilling history, David Baker captures the longest-possible time span—from the Big Bang to the present day—in an astonishingly concise retelling. His impressive timeline includes the "rise of complexity" in the cosmos and the creation of the first atoms; the origin of all galaxies, stars, and our solar system; and the evolution of life on Earth, from tiny single-celled organisms to human beings. 
 
 
 
Weaving together insights across the sciences—including chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology—Baker answers the fundamental questions: How did time begin? Why does matter exist? What made life on Earth the way it is? He also argues that never before has life on Earth been forced to adjust to a changing climate so rapidly, nor has one species ever been responsible for such sudden change. Baker's grand view offers the clearest picture of what may come next—and the role we can still play in our planet's fate.

Zero Trust Networks - Building...

Christina Morillo, Evan Gilman,...

Perimeter defenses guarding your network aren't as secure as you might think. Hosts behind the firewall have no defenses of their own, so when a host in the "trusted" zone is breached, access to your data center is not far behind. This practical book introduces you to the zero trust model, a method that treats all hosts as if they're internet-facing, and considers the entire network to be compromised and hostile. 
 
 
 
In this updated edition, the authors show you how zero trust lets you focus on building strong authentication, authorization, and encryption throughout, while providing compartmentalized access and better operational agility. You'll learn the architecture of a zero trust network, including how to build one using currently available technology. 
 
 
 
You'll also explore fundamental concepts of a zero trust network, including trust engine, policy engine, and context aware agents; discover how this model embeds security within the system's operation, rather than layering it on top; use existing technology to establish trust among the actors in a network; migrate from a perimeter-based network to a zero trust network in production; examine case studies that provide insights into various organizations' zero trust journeys; and learn about the various zero trust architectures, standards, and frameworks.

John Morrison

The Theory of Evolution Is In a Crisis 
In the updated second edition of Evolution's Final Days, John Morrison presents compelling arguments and new evidence that challenge the mainstream understanding of evolution. This edition is enriched with additional chapters and fully sourced information. 
Jun-Yuan Chen, a renowned paleontologist, once observed: "In China, we can criticize Darwin, but not the government. In America, you can criticize the government, but not Darwin." This statement underscores the controversial nature of evolutionary theory—a central theme of Morrison’s book. 
Evolution's Final Days explores the complexities of evolution as it is currently taught in educational institutions worldwide. From the primordial soup to the diverse species inhabiting the Earth today, including the descent of humans from apes, Morrison scrutinizes these concepts. He then unveils what textbooks omit, casting the theory of evolution in a radically new light. 
By the end of this book, readers will understand why the traditional narrative of evolution might not hold up as claimed. Morrison calls for a community-driven approach to advocate for scientific integrity and a true representation of evolutionary theory. 
This book is designed to provoke thought, whether you're a newcomer to the topic or a seasoned scholar with a PhD in evolutionary studies. Prepare to challenge what you've been told and discover intriguing facts that could reshape your understanding of life itself. 
Dive into the debate and see why Evolution's Final Days claims that the theory of evolution is nearing its end. Click the "Buy Now" button and start your journey into the science behind evolution's controversial discussion today!
