Summary

Indigenous vs Western examines how Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Western science can work together to address complex environmental issues. It highlights the strengths and limitations of both systems, noting that TEK offers long-term observational data and place-based knowledge often missed by Western science's quantitative analysis. Understanding the historical context, including colonialism's impact on indigenous knowledge, is crucial for respectful collaboration. This book explores how integrating TEK and Western science can lead to more effective environmental solutions. For example, while Western science uses predictive modeling, TEK provides crucial insights into biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation. The book progresses by first introducing the core principles of both TEK and Western science, then examining case studies of successful integration, and finally addressing the challenges of incorporating TEK into policy. By using diverse sources, including ethnographic studies and community-based research, Indigenous vs Western provides a balanced, evidence-based approach. It emphasizes the importance of considering both quantitative data and qualitative insights from indigenous knowledge holders. This interdisciplinary approach makes it a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in a more comprehensive understanding of environmental stewardship.

  • The Software Engineer's Guidebook - Navigating senior tech lead and staff engineer positions at tech companies and startups - cover

    The Software Engineer's...

    In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance. 
    By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions. 
    This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more. 
    This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers. 
    We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally. 
    Praise for the book 
    “From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path 
    "Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify

    In this radically optimistic climate change book, find yourself empowered to achieve sustainable living across every facet of your life—the personal, the professional, and the political. 
      
    “Never has decisive action on climate and environment been more important. This book will help citizens understand that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something—and offers a myriad of ways they can get started too.” —Dr. Trista Patterson, Time100 Climate Leader, 2023, and co-founder of Playing for the Planet 
      
    Charlie Sellars pulls insight from his experience as a director of sustainability at Microsoft, which has underlined its commitment to be a green business with a pledge to become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste by 2030 while protecting ecosystems. He also serves on the governing body of the iMasons Climate Accord, an industry coalition united to decarbonize digital infrastructure. 
      
    Inside this sustainable living book, you will learn how to: 
     - Harness environmental science to make more sustainable decisions using the “Make It, Move It, Lose It, Use It” impact framework. 
     - Turn your job into a sustainability job, no matter what you do for a living. 
     - Unleash the power of your voice at the ballot box and in your local community. 
      
    This refreshingly optimistic environmental book for adults and recent graduates makes for a great climate change gift, like Hannah Ritchie’s Not the End of the World and Katharine Hayhoe’s Saving Us. 
       
    Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. It’s not too late to defeat the climate crisis, and What We Can Do will show you how. 
    “What We Can Do brings cutting-edge sustainability techniques used by chief sustainability officers into the hands and context of everyday individuals. The result? A book that finally empowers readers to maximize their impact across every facet of their lives” —Ann Tracy, chief sustainability officer, Colgate-Palmolive

    'Women have won their political independence. Now is the time for them to achieve their economic freedom too.'
    This was the great rallying cry of the pioneers who, in 1919, created the Women's Engineering Society. Spearheaded by Katharine and Rachel Parsons, a powerful mother and daughter duo, and Caroline Haslett, whose mission was to liberate women from domestic drudgery, it was the world's first professional organisation dedicated to women's rights. 
    Magnificent Women and their Revolutionary Machines tells the stories of the women at the heart of this group − from their success in fanning the flames of a social revolution to their significant achievements in engineering and technology. It centres on the parallel but contrasting lives of Rachel Parsons and Caroline Haslett − one born to privilege and riches whose life ended in dramatic tragedy; the other who rose from humble roots to become the leading professional woman of her age and mistress of the thrilling new power of the twentieth century: electricity.
    In this fascinating book, biographer Henrietta Heald also illuminates the era in which the society was founded. From the moment when women in Britain were allowed to vote for the first time, and to stand for Parliament, she charts the changing attitudes to women's rights both in society and in the workplace.
