Can humans find a place in a world filled with self-replicating, AI-controlled nanobots?
Sophie understood the problem better than any other cyber-sorcerer. She'd been there at the beginning. The benign AI, Hippocrates, has never spoken to any other humans besides her and Michael and is now missing. The other AI, Wiindigo, means nothing good for humans. The rogue intelligence intends to dominate the world and all that it contains, humans included.
In the world after AI, nanobot mediated spells can be performed by knowledgeable humans, leaving those who don't have that ability as a permanent underclass. Spells can be used for DNA manipulation and, as a result, many species of were-creatures exist. Chimeras, animals with human DNA, have developed the ability to speak. Brownies exist, and Fairies fly over the meadows.
All is not well in the new order. Wiindigo's nanites have scattered over the countryside and blindly seek to regroup. Local concentrations of the rogue AI's nanites form horrendous threats, taking the semblance of mythological monsters.
The "Good Powers," Sophie and Michael, must contend with other sorcerers in their struggle to keep humans from becoming Wiindigo's puppets. Wiindigo's nanites are everywhere and pose a constant threat.
They will need all the assistance they can get, from every source-no matter how strange.

Описание: Water is one of the most valuable resources on this Earth. Without it, people could not survive. However, we all too often use it like some unlimited resource that will never end. Emerging pressure on water resources from population and economic growth, climate change, pollution, and other challenges has major effects on our social, economic, and environmental safety. Many of our utmost significant aquifers are being over-pumped, affecting pervasive declines in groundwater levels. Sustainable Water Technologies addresses water resources management, sustainability of water resources, ground and surface water quality and quantity, water use and reuse, surface and ground water interaction, aquifer recharge, storage and more. Furthermore, emphasises emerging nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology applications as well as sustainable processes and products to protect the environment and human health, save water and energy, and minimise material use. This book intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on development of advanced technologies; a critical component in overcoming the looming water crisis. It lays emphasis on emerging technologies and strategies that facilitate water sustainability for future generations. The scope of sustainable management of water resources concerns the responsibility of water managers and users to ensure that water resources are allocated efficiently and equitably and used to achieve socially, environmentally and economically beneficial outcomes. Future policies to address the sustainable management of water resources will be greatly influenced by climate change and climate variability, including seasonality problems, such as changes in the timing of annual rainfall patterns or periods of snow pack melt. Recognition of the complexity and diversity of water resource management is important from a policy perspective, as it means there is no one-size-fits-all policy solution to improving water resource management. Policies addressing water resource management need to be tailored and targeted to situations specific to countries and regions within countries. This reflects the great variety across different water basins from the local to international levels in terms of the: heterogeneity of water sources; linkages between water resource and water pollution issues; allocation of water between consumptive uses, such as agriculture, domestic, industrial, power generation, and to meet environmental needs; and the management of the complex institutional and property right arrangements associated with water. New technologies are promising to transform wastewater into a resource for energy generation and a source of drinking water.

Описание: When South Sudan's war began, the Beatles were playing their first hits and reaching the moon was an astronaut's dream. Half a century later, with millions massacred in Africa's longest war, the continent's biggest country split in two. It was an extraordinary, unprecedented experiment. Many have fought, but South Sudan did the impossible, and won. This is the story of an epic fight for freedom. It is also the story of a nightmare. First Raise a Flag details one of the most dramatic failures in the history of international state-building. three years after independence, South Sudan was lowest ranked in the list of failed states. War returned, worse than ever. Peter Martell has spent over a decade reporting from palaces and battlefields, meeting those who made a country like no other: warlords and spies, missionaries and mercenaries, guerrillas and gunrunners, freedom fighters and war crime fugitives, Hollywood stars and ex-slaves. Under his seasoned foreign correspondent's gaze, he weaves with passion and colour the lively history of the world's newest country. First Raise a Flag is a moving reflection on the meaning of nationalism, the power of hope and the endurance of the human spirit.

Описание: Soil is the thin skin covering the land; clean water is becoming more valuable every day. As global populations grow, and as demand for food increases in a world with a fixed water supply, there are efforts under way to learn how to produce more food with less water, through improvements in irrigation methods and technologies, agricultural water management, crop types, and water monitoring. Todays major challenges for water engineers and managers include securing water for people and for food production: protecting vital ecosystems: and dealing with variability and uncertainty of water in space and time. In the field of soil and water engineering, modelling aspects have added a new dimension in research innovations in all branches of engineering. They are increasingly used for planning, development, and management of land and water resources, including analysis of quantity and quality parameters of surface and ground water, flood forecasting and control measures, optimum allocation and utilisation of irrigation water. Soil and Water Engineering focuses on the soil/water interface and how to manage it for maximum productivity within the environmental requirements of long-term sustainability and overall ecosystem health. It offers a balanced approach, which covers both the engineering and management aspects of water resource development. It also addresses methods for controlling water to avoid water-related damage and catastrophes. This book will be of comprehensive guide for students, researchers and practitioners, and professionals in water resources engineering generally to learn the latest technological advancements and changes.
