  Charles Babbage and Alan Turing:...

  Today, the world is in the midst of the transformative and ever-developing Digital Age, otherwise referred to as the “Age of Information.” It has been an unprecedented, remarkable, and explosive era marked by social media and computer-generated imagery (and with it, deep fakes), among other novel, previously unimaginable concepts. The bulky monitors and blocky towers of personal computers and laptops, which were once upon a time considered fashionable, futuristic contraptions, have since been replaced with a sleek and stylish array – both multi-functional and specialized – of aerodynamic, minimalistic devices, ranging from smartphones and tablets to lightweight laptops and full-fledged gaming set-ups packed with powerhouse processors. 
  While many are familiar with those facts, and a recent movie revived interest in Alan Turing’s achievements with computing during World War II, it was Charles Babbage who was the first to conceive the notion of a programmable and automatic universal computer, which, on top of its ability to calculate any mathematical equation at an unmatched speed, could also be used for a seemingly infinite number of other applications. In other words, he envisioned the precursor to the modern computer. 
  Given that he was the one who envisioned a concept so momentous that it ultimately led to the creation of what is now considered the world's first computer, many might be mistaken for thinking Alan Turing was the kind of suave, pipe-puffing dandy that many might associate with such a grand and futuristic idea. In reality, he was nothing of the sort. Turing was hardly the kind of two-dimensional, stereotypically bookish character whose light bulb suddenly went off during an experiment binge either. On the contrary, Alan was a gauche and grief-stricken 17-year-old schoolboy who would channel all the pain and confusion from his poignant heartbreak into his tireless research, paving the path for the deeply transformative Computer Age.

  Whale Song and the Secret Life...

  You loved the books about trees that share sugar, fungi that trade nutrients and octopuses that solve puzzles, and now you want that same warm, careful wonder for the biggest animals alive. Most whale books are either textbooks or picture books for kids, and neither is what you reach for on a long walk or a quiet evening.
  
  This audiobook follows a humpback and a sperm whale across one whole life, from a warm shallow lagoon through the first migration beside its mother, learning the clan's dialect, the long dark dives, motherhood and old age. Each chapter centers on one documented behavior, such as songs that spread across an ocean like hit records, bubble-net hunting, mourning over a lost calf, or a whale fall feeding the seafloor for decades. Every chapter ends by separating what researchers actually know from what still puzzles them, then brings the story back to your own coast, river or family table.
  
  By the last chapter, the sea outside your window will feel inhabited. Press play and let the whales carry you out.

  Denali can dominate the horizon while remaining invisible behind cloud.
  
  That contradiction opens a much larger story. Mountains rose through collision and faulting. Glaciers moved through them. Animals followed old seasonal routes. Indigenous peoples knew a northern landscape that did not begin with a park boundary.
  
  William Stanek's The Living Denali Biography follows mountain, tundra, migration, Native homelands, gold, railroads, wildlife protection, naming, tourism, one extraordinary road, scientific change, and the growing consequences of a warming North.
  
  The mountain is the icon. The biography is everything around it.
  
  This is Denali as a living northern system-vast, mobile, contested, and powerful enough to remain itself even when its most famous summit refuses to appear.

  It Depends: Writing on Technology Leadership 2012-2022, a collection of essays and articles by technology executive Kevin Goldsmith, is a must-read for current or aspiring engineering managers, directors, and senior technology executives. With over thirty years of experience in leadership roles at industry-leading technology companies like IBM, Silicon Graphics, Microsoft, and Adobe, as well as early-stage startups and unicorns like Spotify, Avvo, Anaconda, and DistroKid, Goldsmith shares his knowledge about leading technology teams and larger organizations in this book. 
  The book covers a range of topics, including creating a culture of experimentation and innovation, managing day-to-day, career development as a technology leader, team building, and practical advice for handling the requirements of the engineering manager role. Goldsmith acknowledges that the context is different in every company and for every person, and he shares his wisdom to help leaders form solutions that make sense for their company, team, and themselves. 
  What sets Goldsmith's writing apart is his ability to provide practical advice and insights that few companies adequately train their managers on. He also offers guidance on how to move from managing a single team to managing managers, organization structure, building career development frameworks, diversity and inclusion, and hiring. By reading It Depends, you'll gain valuable insights into becoming a more effective leader in the technology industry.
