"Remarkable . . . The Way You Make Me Feel affirms that Black and Brown existence in America comes with no guarantee of collective solidarity, no innate promise of racial equality. The path to justice is uncertain, Sharma reminds us, and we must each work hard--and be bold enough to sacrifice our own comfort--to actualize it." --Washington Post A hilarious and moving memoir in essays about love and allyship, told through one Asian and Black interracial relationship When Nina Sharma meets Quincy while hitching a ride to a friend's Fourth of July barbecue, she spots a favorite book, Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, in the back seat of his cramped car, and senses a sadness from him that's all too familiar to her. She is immediately intrigued--who is this man? In The Way You Make Me Feel, Sharma chronicles her and Quincy's love story, and in doing so, examines how their Black and Asian relationship becomes the lens through which she moves through and understands the world. In a series of sensual and sparkling essays, Sharma reckons with caste, race, colorism, and mental health, moving from her seemingly idyllic suburban childhood through her and Quincy's early sweeping romance in the so-called postracial Obama years and onward to their marriage. Growing up, she hears her parents talk about the racism they experienced at the hands of white America--and as an adult, she confronts the complexities of American racism and the paradox of her family's disappointment when she starts dating a Black man. While watching The Walking Dead, Sharma dives into the eerie parallels between the brutal death of Steven Yeun's character and the murder of Vincent Chin. She examines the trailblazing Mira Nair film Mississippi Masala, revolutionary in its time for depicting a love story between an Indian woman and a Black man on screen, and considers why interracial relationships are so often assumed to include white people. And as she and Quincy decide whether to start a family, they imagine a universe in which Vice President Kamala Harris could possibly be their time-traveling daughter. Written with a keen critical eye and seamlessly weaving in history, pop culture, and politics, The Way You Make Me Feel reaffirms the idea that allyship is an act of true love.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There are economics textbooks that will test your patience before they test your knowledge. They open with definitions before you have a reason to care about them. They deploy graphs before the human situation behind the graph has been established. They treat the reader as a student to be examined rather than a person to be persuaded.This book takes a different view.Microeconomics Made Simple and Easy is written for the person who suspects that economics matters - to their career, their finances, their understanding of the news, their ability to make better decisions - but has never found a treatment of the subject that respects both the material's depth and the reader's time.Every concept in this book is introduced through a real situation before it is given a name. Every chapter covers exactly one idea, completely, before moving to the next. No prior knowledge is assumed. No mathematics is required. The only prerequisite is curiosity and the willingness to follow an argument to its conclusion.By the final page, you will not merely have encountered the core ideas of microeconomics. You will understand why they matter, where they appear in daily life, and how to use them to think more clearly about the choices - personal, professional, and political - that shape your world.Whether you are a student approaching economics for the first time, a professional who wants to understand the forces shaping your industry, or simply a curious person who has always suspected there was more logic in the world than the surface suggests, this book was written for you.What microeconomics actually studiesEconomics splits into two broad branches. Macroeconomics looks at the big picture: GDP, inflation, unemployment, national debt. It asks questions like "Why do some countries grow rich while others stay poor?"Microeconomics is different. It zooms in. It studies the decisions of individual people, households, and firms - and how those decisions interact in markets. It asks: why does the price of a concert ticket rise when a popular artist comes to town? Why do landlords sometimes let apartments sit empty rather than lower the rent? Why does a supermarket sell two sizes of coffee, and why is the large one almost always a better deal per milliliter?These are not abstract questions. They are the logic hiding in plain sight, all around you, every single day.The one tool you actually needEconomists have a secret. Beneath all the mathematics, beneath all the models and jargon, there is a single question driving virtually all of microeconomic thinking: Given this situation, what would a reasonable person do?That is it. That is the whole toolkit.When an economist looks at a market, they ask: what are the incentives here? What does a reasonable buyer want? What does a reasonable seller want? What happens when those two sets of wants collide? You do not need calculus to answer those questions. You need curiosity, and the willingness to follow the logic wherever it leads - even when it leads somewhere surprising.How this book is structuredEach chapter covers exactly one idea. That idea is introduced with a real story or scenario before any theory appears, because the human situation always makes more sense than the abstraction. A diagram or simple illustration follows where it genuinely helps. Then the concept is named - and only then.By the end, you will have a working understanding of microeconomics that lets you read a news article about rising housing costs and immediately understand what is happening, or hear an argument about the minimum wage and know which parts are well-reasoned and which parts are muddled.No memorisation required. No prior knowledge assumed. Just one idea at a time, until they all con Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There are facilities operating right now, in every major city on earth, that most people will never see and never think about - and that those same people depend on completely. The data center that processes your bank transaction in milliseconds. The facility that keeps the hospital's patient records accessible when a physician needs them at two in the morning. The infrastructure that routes the emergency services call that saves a life. The systems that clear the financial trades that move markets. None of these things happen without a building somewhere that stays running, continuously, without interruption, regardless of what the weather is doing, regardless of whether a sophisticated attacker is probing its network, regardless of whether a transformer failed or a cooling unit faulted in the middle of the night.These are mission-critical data centers. And the professionals who build, operate, secure, and lead them carry a responsibility that is rarely acknowledged but is genuinely consequential: the responsibility for infrastructure that the modern world has made itself entirely dependent upon, without ever quite deciding to do so.Mission-Critical Data Centers: Reliability, Cybersecurity, Power, and Operations Excellence is written for those professionals - and for the engineers, security practitioners, executives, and students who want to understand what it truly takes to operate at this level. It is not a survey of data center concepts or a vendor-neutral product comparison. It is a comprehensive, deeply operational treatment of the four disciplines that together determine whether a mission-critical facility delivers on its promise: reliability, cybersecurity, power integrity, and operations excellence.Across twenty-eight chapters, this book takes the reader from the foundational mathematics of availability and the engineering logic of redundancy architecture through the complete power path from utility grid to server rack, the full spectrum of cooling technologies from legacy CRAC units to two-phase immersion, and the layered cybersecurity disciplines that protect physical and digital infrastructure against threats that grow more sophisticated every year. It addresses the operational disciplines - standard operating procedures, change management, predictive maintenance, capacity planning - that convert excellent engineering into excellent performance. It examines the human dimensions of the work: team building, shift culture, incident response, and the leadership characteristics that high-stakes operational environments demand.It also looks forward. The emergence of AI and high-density compute is rewriting the infrastructure assumptions that have governed data center design for three decades, and this book addresses those implications honestly and practically. The proliferation of edge deployments is extending mission-critical principles into resource-constrained environments that demand creative adaptation. The sustainability imperative is reshaping power procurement, cooling design, and the strategic calculus of facility investment in ways that will only intensify. These are not future considerations to be addressed in the next edition. They are present realities that every professional in this field must understand and navigate today.What distinguishes this book from others in the field is its refusal to separate what belongs together. Physical security and cybersecurity are treated as a single integrated discipline because the threats they address are integrated. Power architecture and operations culture are examined side by side because the most sophisticated power design provides no protection against an operations team that does not understand it. Sustainability and reliability are presented not as competing priorities but as convergent disciplines, because the facilitie Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
