Description:
An essential introduction to global health in the modern world
Foundations for Global Health Practice offers a comprehensive introduction to global health with a focus on ethical engagement and participatory approaches. With a multi-sectoral perspective grounded in Sustainable Development Goals, the text prepares students for engagement in health care and public health and goes beyond traditional global health texts to include chapters on mental health, agriculture and nutrition, water and sanitation, and climate change. In addition to presenting core concepts, the book outlines principles for practice that enable students and faculty to plan and prepare for fieldwork in global health. The book also offers perspectives from global health practitioners from a range of disciplinary and geographic perspectives.
Exercises, readings, discussion guides and information about global health competencies and careers facilitate personal discernment and enable students to systematically develop their own professional goals and strategies for enriching, respectful, and ethical global health engagement.
Understand the essential concepts, systems, and principles of global health
Engage in up-to-date discussion of global health challenges and solutions
Learn practical skills for engagement in health care and beyond
Explore individual values and what it means to be an agent for change
Prevention, cooperation, equity, and social justice are the central themes of global health, a field that emphasizes the interdisciplinary, cross-sector, and cross-boundary nature of health care

a comprehensive guide at the intersection of generative AI and cybersecurity
Format: Kindle
This book blends deep theoretical foundations with practical frameworks and forward-looking strategies. From adversarial risk models to actionable guidance using OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and the NIST AI RMF, it offers both technical depth and operational clarity.
What makes it stand out is its balance of academic rigor and real-world CISO insights, providing a holistic perspective on securing GenAI systems. While it leans enterprise-focused, the content remains accessible to security engineers, risk managers, and policy leaders alike.
Generative AI Security is a timely and essential read for anyone working to deploy GenAI responsibly—building systems with both power and integrity in today’s fast-evolving threat landscape.

Light on substance and heavy on flaws
Format: Paperback
The book has a great list of topics, but fails to provide much substance any of them.
Most of the provided code is just comments that avoid the actual crux of the issues being discussed. (e.g. #implement the logic to validate XYZ - while the whole point of this chapter is teach how the heck we validate XYZ!)
Some parts are plain wrong, for example the part on Graph based RAG is fundamentally flawed as it assumes the text embedding and the graph embedding are in the same latent space. (This is one of many more examples).
Seems like the book was rushed, and the author has limited hands on experience (if any).
At least we know based on the amount of flaws that it was not written by an LLM

Excellent book to truly understand LLM design patterns
Format: Paperback
I just finished reviewing Ken Huang's pocket book on LLM Design Patterns, and WOW what an amazing resource! This book is excellent if you want to truly understand how to create and enhance intelligent AI language models, all that in your pocket!
Ken makes the difficult things seem surprisingly easy, and that's the real MAGIC.
- How to prepare your data for training by making it extremely clean.
Developing the brains: the practical aspects of training, optimizing, and maintaining your models.
- Learn amazing prompting techniques (such as Chain-of-Thought and Tree-of-Thoughts) to improve your AI's reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
Learn everything there is to know about RAGs so that your LLM can incorporate outside expertise.
- It also delves into creating "agentic" AI that is capable of action and planning (not only simple plan and execute but also enhanced techniques like ReWoo!)
Really, this feels like a useful toolkit, so Ken thank you for that resource
Thanks, Idan Habler

A Broad Overview, But Light on Modern Fine-Tuning
Format: Paperback
I'm currently really interested in fine-tuning LLMs and recently completed my first LoRA-based fine-tuning on a quantized model. I came to this book looking for more detail on fine-tuning. While it touches on the topic, I found the content didn’t quite align with the current state of the field in 2025. Techniques like LoRA, QLoRA, and PEFT weren’t really covered, and the material leaned more toward what I think are older or lower level approaches. That made it harder to connect with what I’m actually working on.
That said, when I shifted to other chapters — like the sections on prompt engineering techniques such as Chain of Thought (CoT) and Tree of Thought (ToT) — I found more value. These sections were clearer, and I picked up a few practical insights, like using few-shot examples that walk through the CoT reasoning process. That’s not something I’ve tried before, and I can see how it might help smaller models that struggle with any type of reasoning tasks.
Overall, the book feels more like a broad overview of all LLM concepts. For someone exploring many topics across the LLM ecosystem, it offers a wide-ranging introduction. But for readers like me who are actively trying to learn and apply techniques like fine-tuning and quantization, it may leave you wanting up-to-date guidance.

Great foundation read for security!
Format: Paperback
This book is a great read! It builds a strong foundation and I would highly recommend it for builders who are interetsed in building on LLMs and ensuring everything is secure. Security is super important and this book does it justice!
