  To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? 
   
   
   
  In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

  Triumphs and disasters in the deep sea 
  This is a journey through time and water, to the bottom of the ocean and the future of our planet. 
  We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a world hostile to humans, yet critical to our survival. The first divers to enter that world held their breath and splashed beneath the surface, often clutching rocks to pull them down. Over centuries, they invented wooden diving bells, clumsy diving suits, and unwieldy contraptions in attempts to go deeper and stay longer. But each advance was fraught with danger, as the intruders had to survive the crushing weight of water, or the deadly physiological effects of breathing compressed air. The vertical odyssey continued when explorers squeezed into heavy steel balls dangling on cables, or slung beneath floats filled with flammable gasoline. Plunging into the narrow trenches between the tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust, they eventually reached the bottom of the ocean in the same decade that men first walked on the moon. 
  Today, as nations scramble to exploit the resources of the ocean floor, The Frontier Below recalls a story of human endeavour that took 2,000 years to travel seven miles, then investigates how we will explore the ocean in the future. 
  Meticulously researched and drawing extensively on unpublished sources and personal interviews, The Frontier Below is the untold story of the pioneers who had the right stuff, but were forgotten because they went in the wrong direction. 
  The Frontier Below by Jeff Maynard is a captivating journey through the history of maritime expeditions, the science of physiology, and the economics of resource extraction. It is a testament to human endeavour and the indomitable spirit of exploration, offering a glimpse into the future of our oceans. 
  For fans of Buddy Levy (Realm of Ice and Sky), Julian Sancton (Madhouse at the End of the Earth), Rachel Lance (In the Waves), James Bradley (Ghost Species), and Helen Czerski (Blue Machine).

  Understand how artificial intelligence actually works, from first principles to generative models 
  AI Explained: A Guide for Non-Technical Readers builds understanding of artificial intelligence from first principles rather than diving in at the top. Written by experienced policy and technical experts, the book walks through rules and logic-based approaches, statistical methods, neural networks, machine learning, and generative models in accessible, structured terms. 
  Each major section concludes with a dedicated use-cases chapter grounding abstract concepts in practical scenarios drawn from healthcare, law, and business. Rather than teaching readers how to build or deploy AI, the book answers a more fundamental question: how do these systems achieve the outcomes they produce? Coverage of AI policy, ethics, and societal impact rounds out the treatment, informed directly by the authors' advisory roles with governments and international bodies. Readers will also find:A structured progression from foundational principles through symbolic, statistical, connective, learning, and generative approaches to AIReal-world use cases connecting each branch of AI to familiar scenarios in professional and everyday contextsBalanced coverage of AI ethics, regulation, and societal impact drawn from direct policy advisory experienceAnd more
