Von Platon und Aristoteles abgesehen, hat keine andere Philosophie der Antike das Denken der westlichen Welt so stark beeinflusst wie die der Stoiker - und zwar bis heute. Ihre Beiträge zur philosophischen Begriffsbildung, Logik, Naturphilosophie und Ethik sind aus der Philosophiegeschichte nicht wegzudenken (und werden in diesem Band umfassend dokumentiert). Der Stoizismus tendierte aber von Anfang an auch zur populären Lebensphilosophie. Dafür stehen Namen wie Cicero, Seneca, Musonius, Epiktet und Marc Aurel.

Design, build, and operate scalable and reliable Kubernetes infrastructure for production
Key Features
* Leverage industry best practices to build and manage production-grade Kubernetes infrastructure * Learn to architect scalable Kubernetes clusters for production, harden container security, and fine-tune resource management * Understand, manage, and operate complex business workloads confidently
Book Description
Kubernetes in Production Best Practices is a blueprint and reference book for anyone who wants to leverage Kubernetes to manage their applications and services in production, following cloud industry standards, and applying best practices to achieve scaling, availability, operational excellence, and cost optimization.
The book will help you to design Kubernetes production clusters, provision them using infrastructure and configuration as code (CAC), optimize performance, harden security, and tune resource usage.
There are different ways of using Kubernetes, including deployment from scratch to your own hardware through to using a fully managed service in the public cloud. The most common way to deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters is to use a public cloud-managed service from either AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This book covers Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), the AWS-managed version of Kubernetes. You'll get to grips with implementation details specific to AWS and EKS, which will enable you to understand the design concepts, implementation best practices, and configuration relating to other cloud-managed services. Throughout the book, you'll discover standard and cloud-agnostic tools to provision and configure the infrastructure, such as Terraform and Ansible.
By the end of this Kubernetes book, you'll be able to confidently operate and manage your production environments using Kubernetes.
What you will learn
* Explore the different infrastructure architectures for Kubernetes deployment * Implement optimal open source and commercial storage management solutions * Discover best practices for provisioning and configuring Kubernetes clusters, such as infrastructure as code and CAC * Configure the cluster networking plugin and other core networking components and learn how to get the best out of them * Apply the latest industry tools and best practices to secure your Kubernetes environment * Deploy core observability stacks such as monitoring and logging to your infrastructure and fine-tune it
Who This Book Is For
This book is for cloud infrastructure experts, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and engineering managers looking to design and operate Kubernetes infrastructure for production. Basic knowledge of Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux, and AWS is needed to get the most out of this book.

Developed to help educators become leaders for critical social justice, the anthology Teacher Leadership for Social Justice: Building a Curriculum for Liberation blends teacher reflection with social justice and policy to position teachers as active leaders in interdisciplinary curriculum development.
The readings in Section I center on critical reflection, identity, and frameworks that help students find an appropriate balance between formal learning techniques and teaching from the heart. Section II examines the impact of social justice issues on schools. Section III explores issues in educational policy through both historical and contemporary lenses. The selections in Section IV provide students with examples of teachers and systems working in meaningful ways towards critical social justice. Each section includes discussion questions and a recent, short piece from the popular press written by an educational activist and related to the section topic.
Teacher Leadership for Social Justice effectively positions teachers as change-agents within schools and the educational system as a whole. It is an ideal text for preparing pre-service or new teachers to succeed in any school setting, and can be used in classes on curriculum development, multiculturalism, and social justice.

Philip F. Gura offers the first book-length biography of William Apess (1798 1839), the Pequot Indian writer and Methodist minister who is generally regarded one of the first published Native American authors. Born in 1798 in Colrain, Massachusetts, Apess early life was marked by abuse, transiency, and alcoholism until, as a young man, he experienced a powerful conversion at a Methodist gathering. Following his conversion, Apess enlisted in the United States Army, accompanying troops sent to the Canadian front during the War of 1812. After the war, he returned to New England, was formally ordained as a Methodist preacher, and in 1829 published "A Son of the Forest," generally thought to be the first formal Native American autobiography. In 1833, Apess visited a Native American congregation at Mashpee on Cape Cod and quickly emerged as a leader in that group s fight for tribal rights against the government of Massachusetts. Arrested for his part in the Mashpee Revolt, Apess went on to write two books speaking to the racial prejudice he encountered during the Mashpee affair and agitating for Native American self-determination. In the years following the publication of his second and third books, however, Apess fortunes worsened, and he died, impoverished, in 1839.Contextualizing Apess story richly in the broader geography and history of early nineteenth-century New England and writing for a broad public audience, Gura draws Apess out of relative obscurity and recenters him as a key figure in the history of American letters and ideas as well as Native American history."

Elie Wiesel's harrowing first-hand account of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, Night is translated by Marion Wiesel with a preface by Elie Wiesel in Penguin Modern Classics.
Born into a Jewish ghetto in Hungary, as a child, Elie Wiesel was sent to the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This is his account of that atrocity: the ever-increasing horrors he endured, the loss of his family and his struggle to survive in a world that stripped him of humanity, dignity and faith. Describing in simple terms the tragic murder of a people from a survivor's perspective, Night is among the most personal, intimate and poignant of all accounts of the Holocaust. A compelling consideration of the darkest side of human nature and the enduring power of hope, it remains one of the most important works of the twentieth century.
Elie Wiesel (b. 1928) was fifteen years old when he and his family were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz. After the war, Wiesel studied in Paris and later became a journalist. During an interview with the distinguished French writer, Francois Mauriac, he was persuaded to write about his experiences in the death camps. The result was his internationally acclaimed memoir, La Nuit or Night, which has since been translated into more than thirty languages.
If you enjoyed Night, you might also like Primo Levi's The Periodic Table, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
