  In Praise of Floods - The...

  James C. Scott reframes rivers as alive and dynamic, revealing the consequences of treating them as resources for our profit Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered. It is the annual flood pulse—the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain—that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees. In demonstrating these threats to the riverine world, award-winning author James C. Scott examines the life history of a particular river, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) of Burma, the heartland and superhighway of Burman culture. Scott opens our understanding of rivers to encompass their entirety—tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, backwaters, eddies, periodic marshlands, and the assemblage of life forms dependent on rivers for their existence and well-being. For anyone interested in the Anthropocene and the Great Acceleration, rivers offer a striking example of the consequences of human intervention in trying to control and domesticate a natural process, the complexity and variability of which we barely understand.

  Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that empowers systems to learn from data and make decisions or predictions without being explicitly programmed. It represents a major shift from traditional rule-based programming to systems that adapt and improve over time. This comprehensive guide delves into the theoretical foundations, types, algorithms, tools, applications, challenges, and the future of Machine Learning. It covers supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning in detail, explains key techniques such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning, and explores real-world applications across domains like healthcare, finance, security, and robotics. Ethical concerns, bias in AI, explainability, and interpretability are also discussed, offering a well-rounded understanding of the state and direction of Machine Learning.

  Birthing Liberation - How...

  Black maternal mortality statistics have not shifted in the past thirty years. 
   
  The maternal mortality rate for Black patients is four to five times higher than it is for White patients. This is just one example of racism as a health and national crisis, but it is a particularly tragic one. 
   
  Birthing Liberation presents reproductive justice as the pathway to equity. The issue of reproductive justice may sound specific, but it is in fact the birthplace of liberation. Its four guiding principles—analyzing power systems, addressing  
  intersecting oppressions, centering the most marginalized, and joining together across issues and identities—have the power to lead us to collective liberation in all facets of life. 
   
  Collective liberation rests on the idea that in order for us all to have equity in this world—from the safety of birthing children to the ability to bring a baby home to a safe community to having access to resources, safety, and opportunities over  
  the long term—we must all become liberated individuals. 
   
  Sabia C. Wade is a renowned radical doula and educator inspired to create a guide for how we can all achieve liberation through trauma healing and reproductive justice. 
   
  Birthing Liberation creates a path to social and systemic change, starting within the birthing world and expanding far beyond.
