Synopsis

"Plains of India" examines the profound connection between geology, history, and economic development within the Indian subcontinent's fertile plains. It highlights how the plains, formed by the Himalayan orogeny and subsequent fluvial processes, have shaped agricultural practices, settlement patterns, and the overall socio-political landscape of India over millennia. The book uniquely integrates Earth Sciences, historical narratives, and economic analysis to provide a holistic understanding. It demonstrates the plains are not just geographical features, but cradles of civilization and engines of agriculture.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geological context, focusing on topics like river systems and sediment deposition. It then analyzes the impact of these geological foundations on agricultural development, including traditional farming practices and the Green Revolution. Finally, it connects agricultural bounty to population density, economic systems, and contemporary challenges like climate change, resource management, and sustainable development.

 
Using diverse data sources, including satellite imagery and historical texts, this book illuminates the complex relationship between the environment and human activities, offering valuable insights for understanding regional development and resource utilization.

    From an artist and TikTok creator, a critical look at the controversial app and its effect on cultural heritage, artificial intelligence, community organizing, and digital censorship. In Revolutionary Algorithms, Torey Akers approaches TikTok with a deep understanding of the app, as both a prolific creator and consumer of its content. In these essays, she interrogates how the TikTok ban and the multiple genocides happening around the world are deeply intertwined; how the app can empower creators, amplify social movements, and document abuses of power. She addresses the good, bad, and sometimes uncanny parts of maneuvering and communicating in a digital space.  As a new era of social media looms, Akers makes the case for techno-progressivism, looking toward a future where TikTok continues to connect, inspire, and create space for more intersectionality, equity, and joy.

    Security has been designed for well resourced organizations, and thus falls short for 90% of organizations who lack the necessary resources to manage security at scale. Security built-in by design and by default provides a leap for these organizations. However, we must also use architectural patterns that scale to better meet the needs of these organizations. Learn more on why we are at a. critical junction to make this shift and how to consider architectural patterns that scale in product design and selection. 
    The information security industry is undergoing a major change, forced by the rise of end-to-end encryption, encryption that cannot be intercepted, transport protocol stack evolution, "zero trust networks", and distributed computing. While we understand the logical connections between these trends, there is little analysis of all of these trends in combination. Examination of all five trends uncovers opportunities that not only improve the state of information security and the general posture, but also lead to resource reductions necessary for information security to be sustainable. 
    In this exciting new book from security expert Kathleen M. Moriarty, the examination of all five trends uncovers opportunities to change the state of information security. Providing a unique perspective from the center of the debates on end-to-end encryption, Moriarty explores emerging trends in both information security and transport protocol evolution, going beyond simply pointing out today's problems to providing solutions for the future of our product space.
