You'll also learn which approaches are too risky to save, and are actually more damaging than a total lack of any security.ĭangerous risk management methods abound there is no industry more critically in need of solutions than cybersecurity. This book sheds light on these blatant risks, and provides alternate techniques that can help improve your current situation. Some of the field's premier risk management approaches actually create more risk than they mitigate, and questionable methods have been duplicated across industries and embedded in the products accepted as gospel. ![]() This book expands upon that premise and draws from The Failure of Risk Management to sound the alarm in the cybersecurity realm.

THE ZOO explored the behaviors seen by a society and its leadership and the extreme consequences resulting from the actions the characters took. In the first book, a major metropolitan city was utterly destroyed and reduced to an uninhabited state of rubble, abandoned and desolate for all eternity.

Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?’ Because that would be dishonest.” - Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieĬhimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian born essayist and novelist living in New York. ![]() ![]() I had epiphanies about my ability to improve at skills. Better performance, and maybe even world-class performance, is closer than you think.Ī life-changing book if you value your performance ![]() Readers and listeners worldwide have been inspired by this book’s liberating message: You don’t need a one-in-a-million natural gift. What’s more, the principles of great performance apply to virtually any activity that matters to you. It’s a very specific type of work that anyone can do - but most people don’t. It isn’t specific, innate talent, nor is it plain old hard work. Bringing together extensive scientific research, best-selling author Geoff Colvin shows where we go wrong and what actually makes world-class performers so remarkable. Happily, the real source of great performance is no longer a mystery. ![]() That’s important, because if we’re wrong on this crucial question, then we have zero chance of getting significantly better at anything we care about. Why are certain people so incredibly great at what they do? Most of us think we know the answer - but we’re almost always wrong. Now this classic has been updated and revised with new research and takeaways to help anyone achieve even greater performance. ![]() ![]() Since its publication 10 years ago, businesspeople, investors, doctors, parents, students, athletes, and musicians at every level have adopted the maxims of Talent Is Overrated to get better at what they’re passionate about. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Paabo and his team also managed to extract DNA from a tiny finger bone found in a cave in Siberia, leading to the recognition of a new species of ancient humans they called Denisovans. People outside Africa have 1-2% of Neanderthal genes. This transfer of genes between hominin species affects how the immune system of modern humans reacts to infections, such as the coronavirus. "Paabo and his team also surprisingly found that gene flow had occurred from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens, demonstrating that they had children together during periods of co-existence," she said. This included the time when modern humans and Neanderthals diverged as a species, determined to be around 800,000 years ago, said Anna Wedell, chair of the Nobel Committee. ![]() While Neanderthal bones were first discovered in the mid-19th century, only by unlocking their DNA-often referred to as the code of life-have scientists been able to fully understand the links between species. Paabo spearheaded the development of new techniques that allowed researchers to compare the genome of modern humans and that of other hominins-the Neanderthals and Denisovans. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Was she truly the faithful wife she is made out to be? How did Ithaca remain prosperous, despite the absence of its lord? In the words of Margaret Atwood: "What was Penelope herself really up to?"Ītwood takes the traditional tale of Odysseus's adventure and turns it on its head. Atwood's the Penelopiad, however, tells a different aspect of the story: Penelope's. His wife, Penelope, awaits the return of Odysseus with faith and patience, despite numerous suitors who insist Odysseus is dead. After angering Poseidon, he is condemned to roam the Mediterranean Sea for fourteen years: only after outwitting the curse can he return to his home and family. Throughout Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, Odysseus is portrayed as the brave, cunning hero of the Trojan War, who seeks to return to Ithaca and his wife, Penelope. ![]() ![]() It jerked again, and he definitely was lying down, head thunking against the bottom of the cart whenever it went over a rock or pothole in the road.

The last thing he needs is the two halfwits who show up wanting his help with the noble they've kidnapped-the very man Shemal had been hoping to prove himself to, the man he hasn't forgotten since Shemal punched him a year and a half ago.Īll rights reserved. Shemal just wants to live a normal life, leave his pirating days behind him and prove that he's respectable now. And then immediately bolted like a man who'd gotten what he wanted. A pirate who later snuck away with Lesto to an empty room, touched him in ways far more memorable. None but the High King dares risk his wrath-and a pirate who once punched him in the middle of the imperial pavilion. High Commander Lesto Arseni is the most feared man in the Harken Empire. About the Author The Pirate of Fathoms Deep Tales of the High Court 2 Megan Derr ![]() ![]() A gadfly and storyteller as well as a scientist, the author can’t resist a good yarn even when it’s not likely to be true, such as the anecdote about Shostakovich claiming that he heard beautiful new melodies every time he tilted his head to one side, due to a piece of German shrapnel lodged in his brain. ![]() ![]() ![]() Less frightening are stories about people like Martin, a severely disabled man who committed some 2,000 operas to memory, or ruminations on the linkage between perfect pitch and language: Young children learning music are vastly more likely to have perfect pitch if they speak Mandarin than almost any other language. Fantastical case studies include a young boy assaulted by musical hallucinations who would shout “Take it out of my head! Take it away!” when music only he could hear became unbearably loud. Here, Sacks tackles the whole spectrum of the human body’s experience of music by studying it from the aesthetic as well as medical viewpoint. Learned, endlessly inquisitive and seemingly possessed of a bottomless store of human compassion, the neurologist’s authorial personality both reassures and arouses curiosity. If we could prescribe what our physicians would be like, a good number of us would probably choose somebody like Sacks ( Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood, 2001, etc.). ![]() The gentle doctor turns his pen to another set of mental anomalies that can be viewed as either affliction or gift. ![]() |
