  In the vein of #1 New York Times bestseller Soul Surfer, this inspiring story of loss and resilience follows the Reeder family after a horrific shark attack. A two-week vacation to the Florida Keys meant Mary and Jameson Sr. could share the beauty of their favorite turquoise-blue waters with their four children. On that serene day at Looe Key Reef, their oldest, ten-year-old Jameson Jr., was swimming among the marine life, capturing breathtaking footage of a sea turtle when a massive bull shark attacked.     Nine miles from shore and even farther from a hospital, their son weakening, the Reeders prayed for help—and it came through a miraculous chain of events.    Rescue at the Reef is the true story of a young boy who defied death with an unshakable faith in the power of Jesus to save him. Even in immense suffering, he focused on caring for those around him, so much that it surprised even hospital staff. His unshakeable peace made an impact on patients and visitors, and his story quickly spread, drawing the attention of strangers and the media.     With reflections on faith, suffering, and the hidden gifts that often go unnoticed, Rescue at the Reef is a living reminder that with God, even the most fearsome challenges can be faced—and conquered. This unforgettable story will leave you on the edge of your seat, inspired by the ripple effects of hope that overcome impossible odds.

  In Behavioral AI: Unleash Decision Making with Data, behavioral economist Dr. Rogayeh Tabrizi delivers an intuitive roadmap to help organizations disentangle the complexity of their data to create tangible and lasting value. The book explains how to balance the multiple disciplines that power AI and behavioral economics using a combination of the right questions and insightful problem solving. 
   
   
   
  You'll learn why intellectual diversity and combining subject matter experts in psychology, behavior, economics, physics, computer science, and engineering is essential to creating advanced AI solutions. You'll also discover how behavioral economics principles influence data models and governance architectures and make digital transformation processes more efficient and effective; discussions of the most important barriers to value in typical big data and AI projects and how to bring them down; and the most effective methodology to help shorten the long, wasteful process of "boiling the ocean of data." 
   
   
   
  An exciting and essential resource for managers, executives, board members, and other business leaders engaged or interested in harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and big data, Behavioral AI will also benefit data and machine learning professionals.

  Cosmic Construction -...

  The concept of interstellar megaprojects has long captured the imagination of visionaries and scientists alike. Initially, these ideas resided in the realm of science fiction, where vast space-faring civilizations would design and build monumental structures to harness the power of stars or travel across galaxies. As our understanding of space and technology has advanced, these once-fantastical ideas are slowly becoming more tangible. The vision behind cosmic construction is rooted in the ambition to secure humanity’s future by expanding our reach beyond Earth. By tapping into the immense resources of outer space and mastering the ability to construct in environments beyond our planet, we could ensure the longevity of civilization, address resource shortages, and even explore the potential for life beyond our solar system. 
  To fully appreciate the significance of cosmic construction, it’s essential to understand its historical context. From the early dreams of space exploration in the 20th century to the pioneering missions that landed humans on the Moon and sent robotic probes to distant planets, each milestone has contributed to the growing belief that humanity can and should venture beyond Earth. In parallel, speculative ideas like the construction of space elevators, O'Neill cylinders, and Dyson spheres began to emerge, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in space development. These ideas, once considered purely theoretical, now inspire ongoing research and technological development aimed at making such megastructures a reality.

  Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late-stage treatments. Early Detection examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer. They look at the science underpinning early detection and discuss the organizational and social challenges of widespread screening, a dimension that has been shown to be especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. And they call for the government and the medical establishment to provide resources for expanding screening, especially in economically disadvantaged communities that have traditionally been underserved.
