Sinopsis

Tidal Wave Impact offers a comprehensive exploration of how tidal waves shape coastal regions, influence climates, and transform habitats. Diving into the geophysical dynamics, the book highlights the importance of understanding tidal wave mechanics, detailing how the gravitational forces of the moon and sun, ocean bathymetry, and coastal geomorphology impact these natural phenomena. It further investigates ecological ramifications, examining how tidal waters create unique, specialized intertidal habitats and influence water quality.

 
The book emphasizes the increasing pressures faced by coastal regions due to rising sea levels and climate change, which intensify the impact of tidal waves. It argues that understanding tidal wave dynamics and their ecological effects is essential for effective coastal management, informing infrastructure design, land-use planning, and adaptive strategies. Through case studies of salt marshes, mangrove forests, and sandy beaches, Tidal Wave Impact synthesizes findings and explores practical applications, such as coastal defenses and early warning systems.

 
Integrating ecological and engineering perspectives, the book begins with foundational concepts of tidal wave generation and propagation, progressing through detailed case studies and culminating in practical applications for coastal management. It distinguishes itself by providing insights into the ecological resilience of coastal habitats and engineering solutions for coastal protection, making it a valuable resource for scientists, policymakers, and coastal communities.

Rift Valley Fever - A British...

Hugh Cran

Trained as a vet in Edinburgh, Hugh Cran set off to Kenya and spent the next 50 years at the sharp end, treating cattle of Maasai herdsmen, wild animals, horses and pets of ex-pats and the military, the government and everyone in-between. Travelling miles on rough roads, performing impromptu surgery by torchlight and with dirty water, Hugh fell in love with the chaotic life and the colourful people he worked for, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.

RMF ISSO: Foundations (Guide) -...

Brown Brown

This is a breakdown of the NIST risk management framework process for cybersecurity professionals getting into security compliance. It is written in layman's terms without the convoluted way it is described in the NIST SP 800-37 revision 2. It goes into what the information system security officer does at each step in the process and where their attention should be focused. 
Although the main focus is on implementation of the NIST 800 RMF process, this book covers many of the main concepts on certifications such as the ISC2 CGRC.

Bright Galaxies Dark Matter and...

Ashley Jean Yeager

We now know that the universe is mostly dark, made up of particles and forces that are undetectable even by our most powerful telescopes. The discovery of the possible existence of dark matter and dark energy signaled a Copernican-like revolution in astronomy: not only are we not the center of the universe, neither is the stuff of which we're made. Astronomer Vera Rubin (1928–2016) played a pivotal role in this discovery. By showing that some astronomical objects seem to defy gravity's grip, Rubin helped convince the scientific community of the possibility of dark matter. In Bright Galaxies, Dark Matter, and Beyond, Ashley Jean Yeager tells the story of Rubin's life and work, recounting her persistence despite early dismissals of her work and widespread sexism in science. 
 
 
 
Yeager describes Rubin's childhood fascination with stars, her education at Vassar and Cornell, and her marriage to a fellow scientist. At first, Rubin wasn't taken seriously; she was a rarity, a woman in science, and her findings seemed almost incredible. Still, she continued her groundbreaking work, driving a scientific revolution. She received the National Medal of Science in 1993, and has since been memorialized with a ridge on Mars, an asteroid, a galaxy, and most recently, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—the first national observatory named after a woman.
