Microbes - The Unseen Agents of...

David L. Kirchman

For billions of years, microbes have produced and consumed greenhouse gases that regulate global temperature and in turn other aspects of our climate. The balance of these gases maintains Earth's habitability. Methane, a greenhouse gas produced only by microbes, may have kept Earth out of a deep freeze billions of years ago. Likewise, variations in carbon dioxide, another greenhouse gas released by microbes and other organisms, help to explain the comings and goings of ice ages over the last million years. 
 
 
 
Now we face a human-made climate crisis with drastic consequences. The complete story behind greenhouse gases, however, involves microbes and their role in natural ecosystems. Microscopic organisms are also part of the solution, producing biofuels and other forms of green energy which keep fossil fuels in the ground. Other microbes can be harnessed to reduce the release of methane and nitrous oxide from agriculture, and geoengineering solutions that depend on microbes could pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. 
 
 
 
David L. Kirchman introduces a unique and timely contribution to the climate change conversation and the part microbes play in our past, present, and future. He takes listeners into the unseen world behind the most important environmental problem facing society today and encourages us to embrace microbial solutions.

The Decision Intelligence...

N.E. Malcolm, L. Y. Pratt

Decision intelligence (DI) has been widely named as a top technology trend for several years, and Gartner reports that more than a third of large organizations are adopting it. Some even say that DI is the next step in the evolution of AI. Many software vendors offer DI solutions today, as they help organizations implement their evidence-based or data-driven decision strategies. 
 
 
 
But until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision making and integrate their decisions with data. 
 
 
 
With this book, authors L. Y. Pratt and N. E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes, with a focus on systems that act in an advisory, human-in-the-loop capacity to decision makers. 
 
 
 
This handbook addresses three widespread data-driven decision-making problems: 
 
 
 
● How can decision makers use data and technology to ensure desired outcomes? 
 
 
 
● How can technology teams communicate effectively with decision makers to maximize the return on their data and technology investments? 
 
 
 
● How can organizational decision makers assess and improve their decisions over time?
