Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret WarIn the wake of the anthrax letters following the attacks on the World Trade Center, Americans have begun to grapple with two difficult truths: that there is no terrorist threat more horrifying and less understood than germ warfare, and that it would take very little to mount a devastating attack on American soil.

In the wake of the anthrax letters following the attacks on the World Trade Center, Americans have begun to grapple with two difficult truths: that there is no terrorist threat more horrifying -- and less understood -- than germ warfare, and that it would take very little to mount a devastating attack on American soil. In Germs, three veteran reporters draw on top sources inside and outside the U.S. government to lay bare Washington's secret strategies for combating this deadly threat.
Featuring an inside look at how germ warfare has been waged throughout history and what form its future might take (and in whose hands), Germs reads like a gripping detective story told by fascinating key figures: American and Soviet medical specialists who once made germ weapons but now fight their spread, FBI agents who track Islamic radicals, the Iraqis who built Saddam Hussein's secret arsenal, spies who travel the world collecting lethal microbes, and scientists who see ominous developments on the horizon. With clear scientific explanations and harrowing insights, Germs is a masterfully written -- and timely -- work of investigative journalism.

More than a technical guide this book is a masterclass in design leadership using Figma!
Format: Kindle
Sharma's expertise from leading design teams at major companies shines through, offering real-world insights that integrate Figma into a strong design process. What sets this book apart is Aditi’s genuine expertise. She doesn’t just teach the mechanics of Figma—she brings the wisdom of someone who has led design teams at Amazon, JPMorgan, and Walmart, weaving in real-world insights that make the tool feel like an extension of a strong design process. The structured approach, practical exercises, and advanced techniques helped me not only sharpen my skills but also rethink how I lead design collaboration in my teams. For design leaders aiming to elevate their Figma expertise and use it effectively at scale, this book is an essential resource, making the transition both seamless and impactful.

Practical, Engaging, and Worth Every Penny
Format: Paperback
I’ve read a few Figma books, but this one stands out because of how engaging and hands-on it is. It’s written in a way that makes you feel like you’re learning from a mentor, not just reading a manual. The exercises are practical, and the step-by-step approach makes even complex concepts easy to grasp. I also loved the section on integrating plugins and designing responsively for multiple devices—it’s these little details that make a big difference in real-world design work.
