Sinopsis

Wave Energy Innovations explores wave energy as a burgeoning field within renewable energy technologies, detailing how we can harness the power of ocean waves for sustainable energy. The book addresses the dual challenge of understanding diverse wave energy converter (WEC) designs and overcoming hurdles in grid integration, environmental impact, and economic viability. Did you know initial wave energy patents date back over a century, but recent advancements have reinvigorated the field? This book contextualizes modern developments within a historical overview, emphasizing lessons from past failures. 

 
The book presents a comprehensive overview of wave mechanics, WEC types, and critical issues like environmental impact assessments. It uniquely combines technical analysis with balanced environmental and economic considerations. The book begins with the fundamental principles of wave mechanics, moves through design and operation of WECs, and culminates with case studies and future research priorities.

 
With its accessible style, Wave Energy Innovations targets engineers, scientists, policymakers, and anyone keen on renewable energy solutions, providing both an overview for newcomers and in-depth analysis for experts in offshore engineering.

    Every organization needs a strong security program. One recent study estimated that a hacker attack occurs somewhere every 37 seconds. Since security programs are only as effective as a team's willingness to follow their rules and protocols, it's increasingly necessary to have not just a widely accessible gold standard of security, but also a practical plan for rolling it out and getting others on board with following it. Security Awareness For Dummies gives you the blueprint for implementing this sort of holistic and hyper-secure program in your organization. 
     
     
     
    Written by one of the world's most influential security professionals—and an Information Systems Security Association Hall of Famer—this pragmatic and easy-to-follow book provides a framework for creating new and highly effective awareness programs from scratch, as well as steps to take to improve on existing ones. It also covers how to measure and evaluate the success of your program and highlight its value to management.

    Look Up: Our story with the stars

    ‘Sarah Cruddas is a gifted writer and Look Up is an inspired book. I am hopeful that we will never stop looking up.’ Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins 
    Most of us have never been to space. To date, of the more than 100 billion humans that have ever existed, fewer than 600 humans have ever left Earth. But the exploration of space is the most significant thing we will ever do as a species. 
    Sarah Cruddas has been looking to the skies her entire life. Her childhood was spent staring at the Moon and hearing stories of the space race, and she worked in a fruit factory to fund her love of the subject. Her subsequent career studying astrophysics, and becoming a television host and space journalist has seen her report on space exploration and chase launches across the world. In Look Up Sarah explains why she has always been a passionate advocate for why space should matter – to everyone. 
    From our ancestors who first painted patterns of the stars in caves, to the US and Soviet pioneers who first forged a path beyond our planet, Sarah Cruddas explores the stories and sacrifices that humankind has made to understand more about our place in the universe. And even today, when Moon walking and people in space suits seem less relevant to us than climate change and conflicts here on Earth, she shows how everything from medicine to mobile phones is affected by space technology, and how a new generation of entrepreneurs have kick-started a new story with the stars. 
    This is an inspirational and enlightening introduction to the importance of space to everyone, and why we should all learn to Look Up. 
    Look Up by Sarah Cruddas is a modern narrative that encapsulates the best of 20th-century science and cosmology. It is a journey through the history of space exploration, with a keen eye on the environmental implications, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of these topics. 
    For fans of Adrian West (The Secret World of Stargazing), Libby Jackson (A Galaxy of Her Own), Cgp Books (A-Level Chemistry for AQA), Hallie Rubenhold (The Five), and Nigel Henbest (The Astronomy Bible).

    Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
     
       
     
    In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
     
      
     
    Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.

    When I Consider Your Heavens -...

    In this thought-provoking book, Antony Latham shows how science and philosophy provide evidence for the existence of God. There was a beginning of the universe, which requires an explanation beyond itself. The exquisite fine-tuning of the physical laws necessary for life has all the hallmarks of design. Paleontology and biology show unmistakable signs of an intelligence behind life. Consciousness and free-will, inexplicable in purely physical terms, point to something beyond the material. The philosophy of beauty and morality leads us to an author of both. He argues that the universe is ‘open’—not simply the interaction of matter and energy, but a realm where miracles can happen. The evidence for the greatest miracle in history, the resurrection of Jesus, is carefully presented. 
    About the Author: 
    Antony Latham is a retired family doctor with nine years of experience working in hospitals in East Africa. He has authored books on Darwinism and the philosophy of mind, and holds a degree in Medical Law and Bioethics. Currently, he chairs the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics. He and his wife have four children and three grandchildren. They live in the Western Isles of Scotland, where he enjoys sailing and mountaineering.
