  A gripping view of our fight against corona
  Professor Ashton has deep practical understanding of the science of public health - a discipline invented in Britain - as a former Director of Public Health. In this jargon-free fly-on-the-wall tale he sets the UK government's measures to deal with COVID-19 from January against two centuries of home-grown knowledge. How do the government's experts and the UK's reliance on web-based solutions such as Test&Trace measure up against the past, for example the 2008 Swine 'Flu epidemic?

  Xanpan is… a cross between XP and Kanban… is an example of a roll-your-own method… is distilled from Allan Kelly’s own experiences running development teams and then helping multiple teams adopt Agile working methods and practices. Xanpan draws ideas from Kanban and Lean, XP and Scrum, product management and business analysis, and many other places. 
  Allan tells the Xanpan story through a series of boards which tell the story of different teams. In between he fills in the principles, practices and thinking which together constitutes Xanpan. Allan's key points include: handling planned and unplanned work in fixed length iterations, the importance of keeping quality high with technical practices, planning beyond the iteration and why deadlines are more important than estimates. 
  "Allan Kelly's Xanpan is now required reading for our team" Dom Davis, Head of IT, Virgin Wines. 
  "A well written and insightful reference material, packs a punch throughout!!!" Sunish Chabba 
  "If you're doing agile, lean, Kanban, xp a mix of any or just starting read it" Kev McCabe 
  "This book, very concise, is a goldmine. In a very accurate way, it will guide you through the implementation of the best from Kanban and Scrum." Umiastowski Nicolas 
  "This book is an important contribution to the agile literature. It tackles the challenges that most teams face, head-on, by proposing alternatives that some might consider heretical. This sort of discussion is invaluable in the face of corporate certification of activities that promote blind faith and dogma rather than observation and critical thought." Seb Rose 
  "An excellent book giving real examples and experiences of the adoption of lean and Kanban models within software development teams." Belinda Waldock 
  "Thoroughly enjoyed XanPan. Allan challenges unfounded assumptions and really unearths a simplicity to writing about Agile and effective ways of working." Amazon Reviewer

  Python programming language has rendered itself as the language of choice for coding beginners and advanced software programmers alike.  
  This book is written to help you master the basic concepts of Python coding and how you can utilize your coding skills to analyze a large volume of data and uncover valuable information that can otherwise be easily lost in the volume. Python was designed primarily to emphasize readability of the programming code, and its syntax enables programmers to convey ideas using fewer lines of code. Python programming language increases the speed of operation while allowing for higher efficiency in creating system integrations.  
  Some of the highlights of the audiobook include: 
  ● Step by step instructions on how to install Python on your operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux). 
  ● Learn how to create Python variables and assign desired data type to them. 
  ● Basic concepts of writing efficient and effective Python codes, focusing on various programming elements such as Booleans, Tuples, Sets, Dictionaries, and much more. 
  ● Learn the basic concepts of big data analysis and machine learning algorithms. 
  ● Brief overview of various renowned machine learning libraries such as Scikit-Learn, NumPy, SciPy, and more. 
  All the concepts are explained with standard Python coding syntax supported with relevant examples and followed by exercises to help you test and verify your understanding of those concepts. Finally, as an added bonus you will learn some Python tips and tricks to take your machine learning programming game to the next level. 
  Don't you think it can be that easy? If you really want to have proof of all this, don't waste any more time!

  The Physics of Wall Street - A...

  After the economic meltdown of 2008, Warren Buffett famously warned, "beware of geeks bearing formulas." But as James Weatherall demonstrates, not all geeks are created equal. While many of the mathematicians and software engineers on Wall Street failed when their abstractions turned ugly in practice, a special breed of physicists has a much deeper history of revolutionizing finance. Taking us from fin-de-siècle Paris to Rat Pack-era Las Vegas, from wartime government labs to Yippie communes on the Pacific coast, Weatherall shows how physicists successfully brought their science to bear on some of the thorniest problems in economics, from options pricing to bubbles.The crisis was partly a failure of mathematical modeling. But even more, it was a failure of some very sophisticated financial institutions to think like physicists. Models-whether in science or finance-have limitations; they break down under certain conditions. And in 2008, sophisticated models fell into the hands of people who didn't understand their purpose, and didn't care. It was a catastrophic misuse of science.The solution, however, is not to give up on models; it's to make them better. Weatherall reveals the people and ideas on the cusp of a new era in finance. We see a geophysicist use a model designed for earthquakes to predict a massive stock market crash. We discover a physicist-run hedge fund that earned 2,478.6% over the course of the 1990s. And we see how an obscure idea from quantum theory might soon be used to create a far more accurate Consumer Price Index.Both persuasive and accessible, The Physics of Wall Street is riveting history that will change how we think about our economic future.

  The Wonder of Birds - What They...

  Birds, Jim Robbins posits, are our most vital connection to nature. They compel us to look to the skies, both literally and metaphorically; draw us out into nature to seek their beauty; and let us experience vicariously what it is like to be weightless. Birds have helped us in so many of our human endeavors: learning to fly, providing clothing and food, and helping us better understand the human brain and body. 
  The Wonder of Birds illuminates qualities unique to birds that demonstrate just how invaluable they are to humankind—both ecologically and spiritually. The wings of turkey buzzards influenced the Wright brothers’ flight design; the chickadee’s song is considered by scientists to be the most sophisticated language in the animal world; and the quietly powerful presence of eagles in the disadvantaged neighborhood of Anacostia proved to be an effective method for rehabilitating the troubled young people placed in charge of their care. 
  Exploring both cutting-edge scientific research and our oldest cultural beliefs, Robbins moves these astonishing creatures from the background of our lives to the foreground.
