Hedges are one of Great Britains most iconic landscape features. They are the stitching in the patchwork quilt of fields and meadows that defines the countryside. Hedgelaying first developed to form living stock-proof barriers, and has always been considered an art and a skill, taking something wild and unruly and giving it order, structure and perhaps even beauty. The book examines over 25 regional styles in England and Wales, introducing local experts who proudly explain their native style and offer a wealth of informed advice. Autorid: Nigel Adams

An up-to-date exploration of how AI is transforming cybersecurity and how to implement AI in your organizations cyber defenses to meet todays evolving threat landscape In The AI Cybersecurity Handbook, author Caroline Wong examines AIs impact on both offensive and defensive cybersecurity strategies. Wong explains how artificial intelligence has transformed the way cyberattacks are carried out and how technology professionals prepare for and defend against them. On the offensive side, the author explores how AI is being used to automate, accelerate, and personalize attacks against targets. She shows you how these technologies make cyberattacks cheaper to carry out, harder to detect, and easier to automate at scale--broadening the impact beyond initial targets to include partners, third parties, and critical connected systems. For defenders, this book demonstrates how to use AI to evolve past traditional, rules-based cybersecurity defense to an adaptive model that evolves in real-time to counteract emergent risks and novel attack vectors. These new systems rely on continuously updated data inputs and form resilient bulwarks against formidable threats. Inside the book: Hands-on strategies for minimizing operational barriers to AI implementation to enable new capabilities for defenders and allow for the use of powerful tools, like smart data enrichment, AI-powered query engines, and self-initiating security actions Up-to-date discussions of how to use AI to accelerate your cybersecurity responses while improving their accuracy, including anomaly detection, threat identification, and dynamic mitigation processes Expert advice for building resilient AI-enabled cybersecurity without compromising on AI ethics Perfect for cybersecurity professionals, IT managers, developers and business leaders looking for actionable guidance on the integration of AI into their IT security practices, The AI Cybersecurity Handbook offers accessible strategies well-suited to people with varying levels of technical expertise. Its a must-read book for everyone with a stake in safeguarding digital assets. Autorid: Caroline Wong

"The winding paths of ants and the intricate stories of city streets reveal how movement is shaped by forces beyond mere efficiency. In architecture, however, circulation is often viewed as a technical requirement-corridors, stairs, and ramps-designed for easy passage. But what if we viewed these spaces not just as neutral connectors, but as dynamic environments that respond to the complexity of human experience? In Circulation Spaces in Contemporary Architecture, Jacklynn Niemiec reframes circulation asa layered, living framework that communicates values, supports agency, and adapts over time. Through recent case studies from around the globe-from schools in China to libraries in Spain-she examines how circulation can promote inclusivity, sensory engagement, and spatial memory. This book is a call to design with greater empathy and imagination-where a stair is the difference between inclusion and exclusion, and a corridor could carry the stories of many. Drawing from architecture, neuroscience, and design theory, Niemiec invites architects, interior designers, students, and readers interested in the built environment to reconsider the spaces in between. Whether you design buildings or simply navigate them, this is an invitation to see circulation spaces as connective, temporal spaces that link people, context, and change"-- Provided by publisher.
