The Ashtavakra Gita is an ancient spiritual document of great purity and power. Pure, because it is relentlessly one-pointed. Every word is aimed at triggering Self-realization-no suggestions for self-improvement, no rules for moral behavior, no practical wisdom for daily life. Powerful, because the mere reading-or repeated reading-of it can be enough to send a ripe mind reeling into Truth. Little is known about the Ashtavakra Gita. Ashtavakra is a name that appears in Indian lore, but almost certainly he did not write it. The author, likely an anonymous sage, merely uses the characters of Ashtavakra and King Janaka to set up a classic dialogue between guru and disciple. It quickly becomes a guru-guru dialogue, however, because after the first salvo of wisdom from Ashtavakra, Janaka realizes his true Self, and from then on they get into an advaitic jam session of the highest sort. Because of this, some translators have done away with the dialogue format and attributed everything to Ashtavakra. Indeed, since all the verses of the Ashtavakra Gita exist at the highest possible level of spoken wisdom, it would appear meaningless to attribute some to the teacher and some to his newly-enlightened disciple. There is nevertheless a storyline set up in the Ashtavakra Gita, which will become clear to you as you carefully read it.

Cyber risk quantification (CRQ) is the practice of measuring cybersecurity risk using numbers —not colors or guesswork. Instead of labeling risks “high,” “medium,” or “low,” CRQ uses probabilities, ranges, and impact estimates to help organizations make better, data-informed decisions about risk.In a world where ransomware gangs operate like small businesses, every core function of an organization is digital, and Boards and regulators are demanding meaningful, defensible risk metrics, CRQ has never been more relevant than now. And thanks to AI, it’s about to scale fast.At the same time, CRQ is often misunderstood as expensive, technical, or just “voodoo math.” People assume you need a stats degree, six-figure software, or a room full of analysts. This book is here to prove otherwise. From Heatmaps to Histograms is a hands-on, plain-English guide written by a seasoned practitioner who’s built CRQ programs at top global companies. It’s packed with step-by-step instructions, practical tips, templates, shortcuts, AI prompts, and plenty of myth-busting to take you from CRQ skeptic to CRQ champion—even if you’ve never cracked open a statistics book. All techniques in this book can be performed in Excel or Google Sheets—no coding required. But for readers who want to go further, you’ll find dozens of GenAI prompts that help you generate risk scenarios, clean messy data, or even “vibe-code” your way through a Monte Carlo simulation in Python or R. You'll also get guidance on when to not use AI, how to spot hallucinations, and how to integrate it responsibly into your risk practice. CRQ is no longer optional. This is your roadmap for making it work—cheaply, ethically, and effectively. What You Will Learn: A beginner-friendly introduction to the statistical foundations of CRQ, including Monte Carlo simulations, credible intervals, Bayesian reasoning, and simple methods for summarizing uncertainty—without requiring a math or coding background. How to gather, vet, and work with data—even when it’s scarce, messy, or missing. How to perform full end-to-end quantitative risk assessments using only Excel or Google Sheets. How to harness the power of generative AI to supercharge risk analysis workflows. How to apply CRQ and GenAI responsibly and ethically, with clear guidance on common pitfalls, misuse scenarios, and how to ensure transparency, fairness, and trustworthiness in your analysis and reporting. Who This Book is for:Beginner/Intermediate in the cyber/technology risk management field

Handbook of Gem Identification, first published in 1947 and extensively revised over the years, is an authoritative look at the methods used to identify both common and rare gemstones. This reprint of the 6th edition, published in 1962, updates the original work and incorporates much new information. As the author states: "Although many books have been written describing gemstones and their occurrence, there is a need for books which give both the jeweler and the layman with limited equipment an outline for making the simple and often conclusive tests that identify gems. If properly used this handbook will help to fill that need." From the Foreword to the first edition: Today jewelers and the general public are better informed concerning gems than ever before. In the United States, this is due in large measure to the wide dissemination of gemological information during the last quarter of a century through the publication of authoritative texts on gems, the formation of many mineralogical clubs, and especially through the activities of the Gemological Institute of America, founded in 1931, and of the American Gem Society, organized in 1934. For some time, however, it has been recognized that there is need for a manual describing in detail the various methods and procedures to be followed in the identification of gems. This need is now being supplied by Richard T. Liddicoat's Handbook of Gem Identification. By his excellent scientific training and his extensive experience at the Gemological Institute of America, Mr. Liddicoat is well qualified to author an authoritative handbook. Moreover, he has had the benefit of the counsel and advice of Director Robert M. Shipley and others at the Institute. In the opening chapters, the essentials concerning the important properties of gemstones are described in a lucid manner. Manufactured stones and the instruments used for testing are discussed in several chapters. The main portion of the book is devoted to the tests and procedures to be followed in the identification of gemstones, which are grouped according to As the tests and procedures are outlined in great detail, there should be no difficulty whatever in following them. The book also includes useful tables of properties, a glossary, and various flow charts. This handbook should prove to be very helpful in the making of accurate determinations of gemstones. It is a valuable addition to gemological literature, and will be welcomed by dealers in, and lovers of, gems.
