Sinopse

Radioactive Foods sheds light on the often-underestimated dangers of radioactive contamination in our food supply, stemming from nuclear accidents, soil contamination, and radiation exposure. It explores how radioactive materials enter the food chain, emphasizing the long-term consequences for both human health and environmental safety. The book highlights that current safety standards may not fully address the cumulative effects of low-level radiation, particularly on vulnerable populations. For instance, the presence of Cesium-137 and Strontium-90, two key radionuclides, can lead to increased health risks when ingested through contaminated plants and animals.

 
The book begins by laying the groundwork with an overview of nuclear physics and the behavior of radionuclides. It then progresses by tracing the pathways of these materials through the food chain and assessing the associated health risks. Case studies from past nuclear incidents, like Chernobyl and Fukushima, are analyzed, alongside data from organizations such as the WHO and IAEA. 

 
A unique aspect of the book is its focus on how radioactive contamination can exacerbate the impacts of other environmental stressors, like pollution and climate change, on food security.

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.

Constructing Canine Consent -...

Erin Jones

The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers. This canine-indexed definition of consent includes a model of five major categories: Touch/interaction-based consent, cooperative care using learned consent behaviors, activity consent, consent-based learning, and substitutive consent. These categories involve a two-way communication system, integration of salient choices, teaching consent behaviors and incorporating existing training protocols that adhere to the Humane Hierarchy of best practices, and an evaluation of dependent decision-making in extenuating circumstances. This book aims to merge the existing literature and new understandings about canine consent to paint a complete picture. It will challenge the current expectations of dogs and dog behavior in our society with an intention of considering their perspectives, experiences, and emotional needs.

Secret Societies

Philip Gardiner

Throughout Secret Societies, Gardiner; uncovers an ancient secret society thought to have died out many years ago and gets to the core of the secret societies’ belief systems. He explores the secret origins of Freemasonry and the links to secret Serpent Cults, Investigates the secret hidden meaning of King Arthur and Robin Hood and examines the claimants to the name of Illuminati, and analyzes the history of the group in Europe and America. Gardiner reveals the secret links within the Vatican and the Nazi Party and looks in-depth at the white-powdered gold theory supposedly kept secret by orders throughout time and radically re-appraises it. He also shows the link between the so-called enlightenment experience and the control of our minds. 
 
Nobody in the genre involves themselves in the tale in the same way that Gardiner does, and here he shows that the search for ultimate truth can often be a terrifying one.
