  Climate Denial

  Is it possible to subsidize fossil fuels on the one hand, while at the same time claiming to be committed to the fight against global warming? 
  Is it possible to promote free trade treaties throughout the world while claiming that CO2 emissions must be reduced? 
  Can we use indicators that only take into account market production without taking into account pollution?
  In view of the climate challenge, the answer to these questions should be negative, but unfortunately today it is still positive. In a documented, clear and incisive book, Thomas Porcher and Henri Landes denounce this climate hypocrisy. In the last chapter, they present 10 proposals to meet the climate challenge. 
  Instead of all the great speeches on climate, this book reminds us of the sad reality of recent years—an unprecedented development of polluting energies with unconventional gas and oil, a blind trust in non-existent solutions from the market to fight against climate change, hundreds of free trade treaties being negotiated without climate clauses, inadequate measurement indicators that encourage business as usual.

  Rise of the Machines: A Project Zero Trust Story is a continuation of the 2023 bestseller Project Zero Trust, picking up where the first book left off and addressing issues not covered in the first installment: artificial intelligence, mergers and acquisitions, antivirus, business continuity, and remote work. Artificial Intelligence is the dominant issue discussed in every chapter, providing a case-study-based approach to applying zero trust principles to all the various aspects of artificial intelligence, from MLOps, used by security teams, to use of GPTs, chatbots, and adversarial AI. 
   
   
   
  AI transforms technology by enabling unprecedented automation and decision-making, but securing it with a Zero Trust approach is essential because AI inherently relies on trusted data and systems, making it a target for manipulation. The book also includes discussion around regulatory issues and the alignment of regulation around Zero Trust practices. 
   
   
   
  Rise of the Machines: A Project Zero Trust Story is a timely, essential listen for all IT professionals across industries, including network engineers, system administrators, and cloud architects.

  Birds - The Complete Handbook...

  Selecting the right bird and creating a comfortable living environment are crucial first steps in ensuring a happy and healthy life for your feathered companion. The process begins with understanding your own lifestyle and preferences, as this will help you choose a bird species that aligns with your needs. Birds vary widely in size, temperament, and care requirements. For example, small species like canaries and finches are low-maintenance and ideal for beginners, while parrots and cockatoos demand more attention and interaction due to their intelligence and social nature. 
  Once you’ve chosen your bird, setting up an appropriate home is the next essential step. A well-chosen cage serves as both a sanctuary and a playground for your bird, so it’s important to select one that suits its size and activity level. Smaller birds require less space but still benefit from a cage that allows for free movement, while larger species need ample room to stretch their wings and explore. The spacing between the bars should be appropriate for your bird’s size to ensure safety and prevent escapes. 
  Inside the cage, include essentials that will keep your bird comfortable and stimulated. Perches of varying diameters are necessary for maintaining foot health and simulating a natural environment. Food and water dishes should be easily accessible and kept clean at all times. Additionally, toys such as swings, bells, and chewable items are vital for mental stimulation and preventing boredom. Birds are intelligent and curious creatures, so rotating toys periodically will keep them engaged.

  In Search of Darkness - The...

  Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it accounts for a significant portion of the universe’s mass. It has been a subject of scientific inquiry for over a century, and yet, it remains largely elusive. The term "dark matter" was first coined in the 1930s by astronomer Fritz Zwicky when he observed that galaxies in clusters were moving much faster than expected based on the visible matter they contained. Zwicky hypothesized that there must be some unseen mass, which he referred to as "dark matter," to explain the extra gravitational pull. This idea was revolutionary at the time, but it took decades for the concept of dark matter to gain widespread acceptance in the scientific community. 
  In the following years, astronomers and physicists continued to gather indirect evidence for dark matter’s existence. The observation of galaxy rotation curves provided another compelling clue. Galaxies, such as our Milky Way, were found to rotate faster at their outer edges than could be explained by the visible matter alone. If only the mass of the stars and gas were considered, the galaxies would not be able to maintain their rotation speeds without breaking apart. However, the additional gravitational influence of dark matter seemed to explain this discrepancy, pointing to its presence. 
  Despite this evidence, scientists still have no direct way to detect dark matter. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to traditional telescopes and detectors. The most that can be done is to observe its effects on visible matter, radiation, and gravitational forces. The hunt for dark matter has since become a driving force in astrophysics and particle physics, with scientists developing new methods and tools to try and detect it.
