    This book is one of a popular series that seeks to tell the story of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Written with the general reader – the walker, the lover of the countryside – firmly in mind, these pages open the door to a fascinating story of bygone oceans, deltas, mineralisation and glacial landscapes.
Millions of years ago, rocks that now form the lovely terrains of the Moors and Wolds were laid down on the floors of shallow seas, and were then deformed by plate tectonics before being shaped by streams and rivers. The sandstones were left to form the high Moors, whereas the chalk was carved into the rolling Wolds. Ice Age lakes came and went, and all the time wave action was fretting the coastline into glorious and varied profiles.
With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, most of which are taken from his personal collection, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes of sandstone uplands, chalk hills and clay vales came to look as they do. Including suggestions for walks and places to visit to appreciate the best of the inland and coastal landforms, this accessible and readable book opens up amazing new perspectives for all who are interested in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful area.

    Literary Theory for Robots reveals the hidden history of modern machine intelligence, taking listeners on a spellbinding journey from medieval Arabic philosophy to visions of a universal language, past Hollywood fiction factories, and missile defense systems trained on Russian folktales. In this provocative reflection on the shared pasts of literature and computer science, former Microsoft engineer and professor of comparative literature Dennis Yi Tenen provides crucial context for recent developments in AI, which holds important lessons for the future of humans living with smart technology. 
 
 
 
Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice—to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool, embedded in every word-processor, represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries. 
 
 
 
With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers.

    Fluid dynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. It is a fundamental subject in engineering, physics, and applied sciences, playing a crucial role in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, energy, and environmental studies. Understanding how fluids move and interact with their surroundings helps engineers and scientists design efficient systems, predict natural phenomena, and develop innovative technologies. 
At its core, fluid dynamics is governed by a set of fundamental principles derived from classical mechanics and thermodynamics. These include the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The governing equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, describe the motion of fluids by relating forces, pressure, velocity, and viscosity. The study of fluid dynamics is essential for solving real-world problems, from designing aircraft wings and optimizing fuel injection systems to predicting weather patterns and ocean currents. 
Fluids can exhibit different types of motion depending on external forces, constraints, and their physical properties. A key distinction in fluid dynamics is between laminar flow and turbulent flow. Laminar flow is characterized by smooth, orderly fluid layers, whereas turbulent flow is chaotic and involves complex mixing and vortices. The Reynolds number, a dimensionless quantity, helps determine whether a flow will be laminar or turbulent based on factors like velocity, viscosity, and characteristic length.

    The relationship between technology and the environment is increasingly becoming a focal point in discussions about sustainability and the future of our planet. As the world faces growing environmental challenges, technological innovation plays a crucial role in providing solutions. From renewable energy technologies to smart agricultural practices, technology is being leveraged to address some of the most pressing issues, including climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. However, while technology offers vast potential to mitigate environmental harm, it also raises questions about its impact on natural ecosystems and whether technological advancements always lead to positive outcomes for the environment. 
In recent decades, the global focus on environmental sustainability has been paired with rapid technological development. The relationship between the two is dynamic—where technology can either exacerbate environmental issues or serve as the key to solving them. For example, the industrial revolution, powered by fossil fuels and machinery, contributed significantly to environmental degradation, yet the same technological advancements have now paved the way for cleaner, more sustainable solutions. This dual nature of technology’s impact on the environment makes it essential to examine how technology can be harnessed in ways that benefit rather than harm our ecosystems. 
One of the key ways technology is addressing environmental challenges is through the development of renewable energy sources. Solar panels, wind turbines, and other green technologies offer cleaner alternatives to the traditional methods of power generation, reducing reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas. These renewable energy solutions have the potential to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, a leading cause of climate change.
