Many people have written biographies of Charles Darwin, but the story of his family and roots in Shrewsbury is little known. This book, containing original research, fills that gap. The key player is Charles' father, Dr Robert Darwin, a larger-than-life character whose financial acumen enabled Charles to spend his whole life on research unencumbered by money worries. Through Susannah, Charles' mother, we are introduced to the Wedgwood family, whose history was so closely interwoven with the Darwins. The stories of Charles' five siblings are detailed, and there is a wealth of local material, such as information on Shrewsbury School and its illustrious headmaster, Samuel Butler. The book is fully illustrated with contemporary and modern pictures, and will be of interest to anyone wanting to discover more about the development of Shrewsbury's most famous son.

A concise introduction to the NIST CSF 2.0 The NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework) 2.0 is designed to protect organizations from cyber attacks. Although the CSF was developed to help US organizations involved in infrastructure to systematically organize their critical activities and ensure they remain up to date, Version 2.0 states that “The CSF is designed to be used by organizations of all sizes and sectors, including industry, government, academia, and nonprofit organizations, regardless of the maturity level of their cybersecurity programs.” NIST 2.0 is an effective and flexible framework that is well-known across the US, and increasingly across the rest of the world. It also aligns closely with ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, and all three standards can operate concurrently. This book will help you understand how to: Begin implementing the NIST CSF 2.0 in your organizationBuild a cybersecurity program, adapt an existing one, or review existing security practicesIntegrate the NIST CSF 2.0 with other frameworks such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 Organizations that comply with the NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301 demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity to current and prospective stakeholders.
Effective cyber resilience requires a culture of preparedness that considers risk management and recovery planning to be at least as important as cyber defences. This book discusses: What cyber resilience is; How an organisation can achieve cyber resilience; How a cyber resilience strategy can be implemented, with a focus on ISO 27001 and ISO 22301; and The certification and auditing process for standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301. This book will explore the core principles of cyber resilience and explain how you can use ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 to implement a cyber resilience programme in your organisation. By the end of the book, you will understand how to implement both standards and combine them to form an effective, integrated system that will both enhance cyber security and ensure your organisation can respond effectively to a cyber attack or disruption.
Organisations must deal with AI implementation in a practical and sensible way.

How does Christian faith integrate with capitalism? This question has been at the heart of Christian ethics for more than three hundred years, but rarely as complex and important as now. The polarizing influence of consumer capitalism has extended into virtually every domain of human life. On the one hand, capitalism has contributed to increases in standards of living and life expectancy, especially among those in extreme poverty. On the other, it has exacerbated income inequality, environmental damages, and social displacement. For contemporary American evangelical theology, this is problematic. It has long been on a quest to show that Christian faith harmonizes with capitalistic enterprise. But can faith harness the transformational power of consumer capitalism without being affected by its excesses? For many, the election of Donald Trump as president has revealed a great divide within American evangelicalism about the links between Christianity, economic power, and moral character. Working from the field of academic practical theology in interdisciplinary dialogue with business management ethics, Transforming Enterprise? shows why and how a reframing of the relationship between Christian faith and capitalistic enterprise is needed in the contemporary postsecular milieu.
