  ** Shortlisted for the 2023 Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing ** 
  Israel’s military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control. 
   
  Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster Capitalism, uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting. This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the 'Start-up Nation'. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos' and Jamal Khashoggi’s phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.  
  Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts. As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model. 
  “A sad and sordid record of how "the light unto the nations" became the purveyor of the means of violence and brutal repression from Guatemala to Myanmar and wherever else the opportunity arose.” - Noam Chomsky 
  “A sharp exposé of how Israel's suppression of Palestine has translated into lucrative anti-terrorist systems that the Israeli government exports globally...[An] eye-opening delineation of the alarming ramifications of Israel's status as an 'ethnonationalist state.” - Kirkus Reviews

  This book consists of the following two titles: 
  - Oneiric Omnipotence: Dreams have long been a source of fascination, wonder, and mystery. From ancient civilizations to modern psychology, dreams have been viewed as gateways to hidden realms of consciousness, offering profound insight into our minds, emotions, and even our futures. In this book, we explore the concept of "Oneiric Omnipotence" — the untapped, infinite potential that lies within our dreams, waiting to be harnessed. Dreams are not merely random, nonsensical sequences; they are powerful tools that can be consciously shaped and used to unlock the vast reserves of our mind's creative and transformative capabilities. 
  - Sound's Fury Unleashed: Throughout history, humankind has marveled at the natural world, from the majesty of towering mountains to the depths of the oceans. Yet, some phenomena defy explanation, remaining elusive and enigmatic. One such phenomenon is the sonic anomaly known as Sound's Fury—a violent, inexplicable burst of sound that seems to break all the rules of nature. Its origins, causes, and implications have puzzled scientists, captivated the public, and left a trail of unanswered questions. This book delves deep into the sonic enigma, exploring its mystery and the far-reaching impact it has had on the world.

  Clinical Pharmacology - Drug...

  Clinical pharmacology is a vital field of medicine that bridges the gap between pharmacology and patient care. It encompasses the study of drugs, their effects on the human body, and how they are used in clinical settings to treat diseases and manage health conditions. This discipline is crucial in ensuring that medications are used effectively, safely, and appropriately across diverse patient populations. 
  At its core, clinical pharmacology focuses on understanding the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and excretes drugs) and pharmacodynamics (how drugs exert their effects on the body) of various substances. It also explores the therapeutic effects of drugs, including their potential side effects, interactions with other medications, and the individual variability in response to drugs. These insights are pivotal for designing safe and personalized treatment regimens. 
  The role of clinical pharmacology extends to drug development, where it plays a key part in testing new medications for efficacy and safety through clinical trials. This process ensures that drugs meet regulatory standards before reaching the market. Additionally, clinical pharmacology contributes to post-marketing surveillance, monitoring the long-term effects of drugs once they are widely used in the population.

As a Cisco Certified professional, a person is armed with all the knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen area of expertise. The certification is globally recognized and sought after by major corporations, especially in today's ever-evolving world of IT technology. Cisco ensures that its certified network professionals are kept up to date with the latest technologies and trends. Obtaining a Cisco Certification validates that the IT professionals are dedicated to their career, it opens up new career paths, and may move them into a higher salary bracket. Cisco Certified professionals are in demand worldwide and that demand is increasing with the rapid technology development growth. They are also among the top-paying jobs in the world! If you are an IT professional wanting to further your career as a Cisco Certified professional, then it all starts with the new CCNA qualification. Recently, Cisco announced that they were revamping their certifications. They want to ensure their courses include all the latest technological innovations that pertain to their industry sector. On 23 February 2020 Cisco will be launching its new courses that affect each level of certification, from entry-level to architect level. They have retired some of their courses in an effort to streamline the certification path. Before, the CCNA consisted of multiple courses and exams, one for each network path, such as CCNA Cloud, CCNA Routing and Switching, CCNA Security. This meant three different courses and three different exams. The new CCNA replaces these individual CCNA courses and exams, which means one course covering a broader spectrum of IT fundamentals. It also means the IT professional only has to sit one exam to obtain their certificate! This book is a guide to help you discover the new CCNA certificate.

  For years, executive Martin Fiore has been advising leaders from a wide range of industries about technological trends that are reshaping the world of business, from artificial intelligence and the rise of autonomous systems to human/machine convergence. Now, in Humanity Reimagined, Fiore explores how these trends are disrupting industries, changing the world of work, transforming the economy, and creating both threats and opportunities for leaders at all levels, from entrepreneurs nurturing start-up businesses to C-suite leaders at the world’s biggest corporations.  
  Fiore’s main focus is on what we can do to ensure that the forces of change now sweeping the planet will protect and enhance the most cherished qualities of human life rather than undermining them. He offers thoughtful recommendations for addressing many of the big issues that today’s transformational technologies are raising, from the threats to privacy posed by misuse of big data to the infiltration of autonomous systems by racial and gender bias. Most important, Fiore provides advice on how to prepare for an unpredictable future that business leaders, policy makers, and individuals forging their careers will find both practical and inspiring.  
  “Fiore combines perceptive forecasting of change with an understanding of how the world and public already has shifted, making a compelling case that making the best of the future demands improving upon the leadership of the past.”—BookLife Reviews 
  “For those looking for a glimpse at the future, this book isn’t a bad place to start. An encouraging, unflinching look at the tech changes to come.”—Kirkus Reviews
