"Just a few years before the dawn of the digital age, Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, along with anthropologist A.I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the globe. Recording their dreams, stories, and innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned future researchers accessing the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and eventually it was forgotten.... In a scrupulously researched and captivating new book, Rebecca Lemov recounts the story of Kaplan's quest and brings to light an informative and disturbing chapter in the prehistory of Big Data."--Dust jacket.

When it comes to choosing, using, and maintaining a database, understanding its internals is essential. But with so many distributed databases and tools available today, it’s often difficult to understand what each one offers and how they differ. With this practical guide, Alex Petrov guides developers through the concepts behind modern database and storage engine internals. Throughout the book, you’ll explore relevant material gleaned from numerous books, papers, blog posts, and the source code of several open source databases. These resources are listed at the end of parts one and two. You’ll discover that the most significant distinctions among many modern databases reside in subsystems that determine how storage is organized and how data is distributed. This book examines: Storage engines: Explore storage classification and taxonomy, and dive into B-Tree-based and immutable Log Structured storage engines, with differences and use-cases for each Storage building blocks: Learn how database files are organized to build efficient storage, using auxiliary data structures such as Page Cache, Buffer Pool and Write-Ahead Log Distributed systems: Learn step-by-step how nodes and processes connect and build complex communication patterns Database clusters: Which consistency models are commonly used by modern databases and how distributed storage systems achieve consistency

The #1 bestselling book on work life balance. It's time. Time to reclaim your life. Time to reclaim your potential. Time to start thriving, not just surviving. The traditional Bucket List is outdated. In today’s fast-paced world, simply writing down fleeting wishes isn't enough. You need a strategic, structured approach to turn your aspirations into actionable plans and make your dreams come true within the next 6-18 months. This book reveals the approaches that powered great achievements like Elon Musk building Tesla, the Apollo 11 moon landing, and Roald Amundsen's South Pole expedition, demonstrating how these stories and more all use the same concepts and principles that form the backbone of the Dreams List method. Imagine if you could turn an Apollo 11-level of dream into reality and design a life that aligns with your deepest desires. In just three years, with an income no higher than that of a police officer, nurse, or entry-level accountant, Alex Funk did this. He took 86 flights, bought two investment properties, completed a marathon on a treadmill, medaled in a bodybuilding contest, and crossed off 252 other dreams from his list—all before his 23rd birthday. This journey started in 2020, amidst the global pandemic, when he made the unconventional choice to drop out of college and return to his thousand-person hometown. Crafting this remarkable life wasn’t a product of financial leverage but of this revolutionary concept: The Dreams List. The Dreams List is a powerful tool for articulating and pursuing deeply resonant goals. It's not just about listing dreams; it's a methodical approach to breaking down lofty aspirations into manageable, actionable steps. This process transforms vague desires into a clear path forward, guiding each step from current reality to desired future. In this book, you will learn: How to Transform Aspirations into Actionable Plans: Learn the step-by-step method to turn lofty dreams into achievable goals. The Art of Lifestyle Design: Discover how to consciously design a lifestyle that aligns with your deepest desires, rather than default societal expectations. Strategies to Overcome Common Barriers: Practical advice for surpassing the usual "no money, no time" obstacles that prevent many from pursuing their dreams. Maximizing Productivity for Dream Achievement: Gain insight into executive-level time management and energy maintenance to make dream-chasing practically sustainable. The Importance of Environment and Habits: Understand how the right surroundings and consistent behaviors can dramatically increase the likelihood of success. This book is an invitation to explore the tool that promises not just to wish for more but to actualize your dreams. It is for the doers who have always wanted more but could never find the right path. The Dreams List beckons all who dare to dream bigger but struggle to find their way. Whether your ambitions involve globe-trotting, entrepreneurial ventures, or personal achievements, this book is your guide to thriving, not just surviving.

Two broken hearts find love and healing in each other in this sexy contemporary romance spin-off from the New York Times bestselling author of the Rock Chick and Dream Man series. Evan "Evie" Gardiner has spent her whole life being the responsible one in her family, but enough is enough. It's time to pursue her own dreams. Evie's finally going to finish that engineering degree she's been working toward. But first she needs to come up with the money to pay for tuition. Working as a dancer at Smithie's club seems like the perfect solution to her problems . . . until her family lands in yet another scrape and comes to Evie for help. Only, this time, her family's recklessness is risking more than her dreams-it's endangering her life. Daniel "Mag" Magnusson knows a thing or two about desperation and disappointment, but no one notices that his good looks and quick wit hide the painful memories that haunt him. When Evie's family puts her in danger, Mag insists on offering Evie his protection. He has the skills to guard Evie's life, but as they grow closer, Mag realizes he'll need to come face-to-face with his demons to prove himself as the man who will protect her heart.

This two-volume set examines dreams and dreaming from a variety of angles—biological, psychological, and sociocultural—in order to provide readers with a holistic introduction to this fascinating subject. Whether good or bad and whether we remember them or not, each night every one of us dreams. But what biological or psychological function do dreams serve? What do these vivid images and strange storylines mean? How have psychologists, religions, and society at large interpreted dreams, and how can a closer examination of our dreams provide useful insights? Dreams: Understanding Biology, Psychology, and Culture presents a holistic view of dreams and the dreaming experience that answers these and many other questions. Divided thematically, this two-volume book examines the complex and often misunderstood subject of dreaming through a variety of lenses. This collection is written by a large and diverse team of experts and edited by leading members of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) but remains an approachable and accessible introduction to this captivating topic for all readers.
