Synopsis

Sand Dune Life explores the remarkable resilience of organisms thriving in Earth’s most unstable landscapes—mobile sand dunes. This book uncovers how plants and animals adapt to extreme conditions, from scorching heat to nutrient-poor soils, revealing ingenious survival strategies.For instance, desert plants like psammophytes develop deep roots and waxy coatings to conserve water, while animals such as the Namib Desert beetle harvest moisture from fog. These adaptations highlight the delicate balance of arid ecosystems and offer lessons in resilience as climate change accelerates desertification.The book progresses from the geological foundations of sand dunes to the intricate relationships between species, including how microorganisms stabilize dunes and how plants and pollinators rely on each other. It also examines human impacts, such as tourism and invasive species, and proposes conservation strategies inspired by indigenous practices and modern science.By focusing on mobile sand systems, the text emphasizes the unique challenges of dynamic environments, making it a valuable resource for conservationists, policymakers, and educators.Written in accessible yet scientifically rigorous prose, Sand Dune Life combines field research, climatology, and ethnobiology to present a compelling narrative. It transforms deserts into vibrant laboratories of innovation, showcasing life’s tenacity and offering practical insights for addressing environmental challenges.

    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.

    Amy Shah, MD, leading medical doctor and Instagram personality @fastingmd, shares her proven 5-step program for battling excessive hunger and food cravings by harnessing the power of psychobiotics and intermittent fasting. 
     
    “My mission is to revolutionize the way we think about hunger and nutrition, and to help people manage hunger and cravings and break free from the tyranny of diets and battles with food. I’ve seen my program work for people all over the world. And it will work for you, too.” —from the introduction by Dr. Amy Shah 
    Dr. Amy Shah kept hearing the same complaints from her patients: “I feel hungry all the time, even when I just ate.” “My cravings are out of control.” They were white-knuckling it through yet another diet plan, only to feel depleted, frustrated, and really effing hungry. 
    So she created I’m So Effing Hungry, a science-based plan designed to help you take charge of your health and your cravings, without feeling deprived. As Dr. Shah explains, cravings aren’t your fault—and eating a healthier diet isn’t just a matter of self-discipline or willpower. There are powerful biological forces at play in your body that govern your hunger levels and cravings. 
    Drawing on the emerging science of psychobiotics—healthy gut bacteria that help improve mood and regulate hunger, weight, and cravings—Dr. Shah has created a 5-step plan to help you make peace with food and your body: 
    STEP 1. REPLENISH: your body by eating more nourishing, mood-balancing foods. 
    STEP 2. REWIRE: your brain to undo the addiction pathways and cravings for processed foods. 
    STEP 3. RESET: your circadian rhythm to activate hunger hormones that reduce your appetite. 
    STEP 4. REFRESH: with a good night’s sleep, using proven good sleep habits used by the U.S. military. 
    STEP 5. RETRAIN: your body with exercise that regulates key neurotransmitters that influence our hunger response. 
    Complete with more than thirty delicious recipes and peppered with easy Hunger Hacks and Cravings Crushers—like eating walnuts to reduce hunger and getting direct sunlight first thing in the morning—I’m So Effing Hungry is a complete guide to help you reframe decades-old dieting patterns and stop fighting the scale. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    The Rose-breasted Grosbeak often stays out of sight among the treetops. However, its rich melodious song consisting of whistled phrases, somewhat similar to the American Robin's voice can often be heard in spring and summer. Where the range of this species overlaps with that of the Black-headed Grosbeak on the Great Plains, the two sometimes interbreed. This binaural audio recording features the Rose-breasted Grosbeak birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Red-winged Blackbird, Song Sparrow, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove, American Crown with American Goldfinch, Gray Catbird, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker drumming in background.
