Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Cyprus is a sweeping journey through the long and turbulent history of one of the Mediterranean's most strategically important islands. From its earliest Neolithic settlements to its role as a Bronze Age center of copper production and international trade, the book traces how geography, resources, and empire shaped the island's destiny across thousands of years.The narrative explores Cyprus as a crossroads of civilizations, where Greeks, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, Venetians, Ottomans, and British rulers each left their mark. It follows the rise of city-kingdoms, the spread of Hellenic culture, the arrival of Christianity, and the island's transformation under successive imperial powers.Moving into the medieval and early modern eras, the book examines Cyprus as a contested prize between East and West, from Richard the Lionheart and the Lusignan kingdom to Venetian fortifications and Ottoman conquest. It also highlights the cultural, religious, and political layers that helped create the complex identity of the island and its people.The modern chapters cover British colonial rule, the rise of nationalism, the struggle for union with Greece, the birth of the Republic of Cyprus, intercommunal conflict, and the events of 1974 that left the island divided. The book also considers the aftermath of division, including refugees, political negotiations, economic development, European Union membership, and ongoing reunification efforts.Rich in historical scope, Cyprus presents the story of a resilient island shaped by conquest, trade, faith, culture, and conflict. It offers readers a clear and engaging overview of how a small Mediterranean island became a meeting point of civilizations and remains, to this day, a place where history continues to shape the future. Cyprus is a sweeping journey through the long and turbulent history of one of the Mediterranean's most strategically important islands. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Designing and Building Datacenters offers a complete, end-to-end view of the engineering that powers the modern internet and AI workloads. Readers will walk through every critical decision-from choosing a site with the right power, fiber, and water resources to laying the concrete foundation, installing racks, and configuring the complex power and cooling chains that keep a facility running 24/7. By the end of the book you will understand how to balance redundancy, efficiency, and cost while meeting the stringent reliability demands of today's digital services. The guide dives deep into the core infrastructure that makes a datacenter function. You'll learn how utility feeds are transformed into clean, uninterruptible power through UPS systems, generators, and dual-path distribution, and how heat is removed using everything from traditional air containment and hot/cold aisle strategies to cutting-edge direct-to-chip and immersion liquid cooling. Chapters on building architecture, whitespace and gray space planning, rack selection, and structured cabling show you how to create a physical layout that optimizes airflow, power delivery, and maintainability while supporting future growth. Networking receives equal attention, with clear explanations of leaf-spine fabrics, ECMP routing, BGP in the data center, and the optical transport technologies-DWDM, coherent transceivers, and CPO-that move terabits of data across continents. You'll also explore compute platforms ranging from general-purpose x86 servers to AI-focused GPU machines, storage systems built on erasure coding and software-defined storage, and the software layers of virtualization, containers, and Kubernetes that turn hardware into a flexible, self-healing resource pool. Automation, provisioning, and Infrastructure as Code are detailed so you can treat the entire facility as programmable infrastructure. Reliability, observability, and security are treated as ongoing disciplines rather than afterthoughts. You'll discover how to measure availability with MTBF/MTTR, apply the Uptime Institute tiering model, and implement predictive maintenance and change-management processes that prevent human-induced outages. Monitoring, telemetry, DCIM, and observability tools are explained to give you real-time insight into power, cooling, and network health, while zero-trust architecture, microsegmentation, and encryption strategies protect data and applications from ever-evolving cyber threats. Sustainability metrics like PUE, WUE, and CUE are covered alongside renewable energy procurement, waste-heat reuse, and circular-economy hardware practices. Finally, the book looks ahead to the forces reshaping datacenters: edge and modular deployments that bring compute closer to users, AI-ready facilities designed for extreme power densities, widespread liquid cooling, and the push toward 800GbE and co-packaged optics. You'll gain insight into disaggregated infrastructure enabled by CXL, the integration of datacenters into district heating systems, and the evolving role of the facility as a hub for both centralized cloud and distributed edge workloads. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be equipped to design, build, operate, and future-proof datacenters that meet the performance, efficiency, and resilience demands of the next generation of digital services. A comprehensive guide to planning, building, and operating modern datacenters, covering site selection, power, cooling, networking, rack layout, and future-growth strategies for AI and internet workloads.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, the Maltese archipelago has served for millennia as a fortress, a sanctuary, and a coveted prize for empires. This sweeping narrative traces the epic history of these small islands, whose strategic location has made them a perpetual crossroads of civilizations. From the mysterious Stone Age farmers who erected the world's oldest freestanding temples, predating even the pyramids, to its modern-day status as a European republic, this is the story of a nation forged in the crucible of conflict and cultural exchange. The account delves into the succession of powers that shaped Malta's unique identity: the seafaring Phoenicians, the systematic Romans, the Arabs who left their indelible mark on the language, and the Normans who pulled the islands back into the orbit of Christian Europe.A defining era began with the arrival of the Knights of St. John in 1530. Expelled from Rhodes, these warrior-monks transformed Malta into a formidable bastion of Christendom. The book provides a gripping account of their most celebrated and desperate hour: the Great Siege of 1565, where a small band of defenders held out against the overwhelming might of the Ottoman Empire in a victory that stunned Europe. In the aftermath, the Knights built the magnificent fortress city of Valletta, ushering in a golden age of Baroque art and architecture. This lavish period came to a sudden end with the fleeting conquest by Napoleon Bonaparte, which in turn sparked a national rebellion and the arrival of a new global power: Great Britain.Under the British flag, Malta's strategic importance was magnified, becoming a vital naval base and a linchpin of the empire. This volume chronicles the island's transformation during this period, its crucial role in World War I as the "Nurse of the Mediterranean," and its greatest trial since 1565-the Second Great Siege during World War II. It details the relentless Axis bombing campaign and the extraordinary resilience of the Maltese people, whose heroism earned the entire island the George Cross. The narrative then navigates the complex post-war path, from the rubble of the blitz to the passionate and often turbulent struggle for self-government.The story culminates in the forging of a modern nation. It explores the hard-won achievement of Independence in 1964 and the subsequent transition to a Republic, detailing the politically charged era of Dom Mintoff, who sought to carve out a new, non-aligned direction for the country. The final chapters recount the deep political divisions of the late 20th century and the monumental national effort that led to Malta's accession into the European Union in 2004. This history concludes by examining the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, as contemporary Malta navigates a new era of economic dynamism, social transformation, and its enduring role as a crossroads of cultures and economies. Explore the epic history of Malta, a coveted Mediterranean prize for millennia. From the Temple Builders and Knights of St. John to its heroic WWII stand and EU accession, this is the story of a resilient island at the crossroads of empires. This item is printed on demand.
