  Dispersals - On Plants Borders...

  A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
   
   
   
  A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
   
   
   
  In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

  ChatGPT For Hire - It Never...

  Outsourcing and entrusting your tasks or projects to freelancers, employees or consultants is risky because they are not always reliable. They are prone to missing deadlines, making excuses or handing in subpar work. 
  Such scenarios aren't just frustrating; they’re expensive, stressful, and can damage your business's reputation. Every delayed project is a missed opportunity, and every substandard delivery erodes your credibility with your customers or clients. More than that, these issues are a direct assault on your financial bottom line with funds spent on underperforming staff, lost customers, and the often-hidden costs of finding and training replacements. 
  In this unforgiving environment, traditional hiring models often seem more like a gamble than a strategy. But there has to be a solution, right? Meet ChatGPT, a solution that brings the promise of stability and reliability to this chaotic landscape. 
  Imagine a world where your 'employee' is available around the clock, needs no breaks or vacations, and is impervious to the personal issues that routinely derail human workers. This employee writes flawlessly, researches tirelessly, handles customer inquiries with tact and precision and doesn’t miss deadlines. 
  In his book entitled ChatGPT For Hire: It Never Sleeps and Never Makes Excuses author Omar Johnson shows you how to make the paradigm shift from hiring unreliable freelancers, employees, and consultants to empowering yourself with AI. This book is an invitation for you to explore a new paradigm, one where AI—specifically ChatGPT—becomes your go-to solution for a wide array of tasks that, until now, you depended on a human workforce to perform. 
  Includes 150+ Bonus Prompts Inside

  This book contains these titles: 
  - The Rise of Social Media: The rise of social media has reshaped the way people connect, communicate, and consume information. Over the past two decades, digital platforms have evolved from niche online communities to global networks that influence nearly every aspect of modern life. Social media is no longer just a tool for staying in touch with friends and family—it has become a powerful force in politics, business, entertainment, and culture. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, understanding the impact of these platforms is essential.  
  - The Rise of Remote Work: The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in how the world approaches work. Overnight, offices across the globe emptied as organizations scrambled to adapt to a new reality: remote work. What began as an emergency measure to ensure continuity during a global crisis evolved into a massive experiment that reshaped traditional workplace norms. For many, the home became an office, kitchen tables transformed into desks, and digital platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams replaced conference rooms.  
  - The Fall of the Berlin Wall: The Berlin Wall stands as one of the most defining symbols of the Cold War, a stark reminder of the ideological divide that shaped global politics in the second half of the 20th century. For nearly three decades, it separated families, friends, and a nation, embodying the tension between the communist East and the capitalist West. Its fall on November 9, 1989, marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War and set the stage for German reunification, forever altering the political landscape of Europe and the world.

  How To Think About AI - A Guide...

  In recent years, there has been massive public and professional interest in Artificial Intelligence. But people are confused about what AI is, what it can and cannot do, what is yet to come, and whether AI is good or bad for humanity and civilization—whether it will provide solutions to mankind's major challenges or become our gravest existential threat. There is also confusion about how we should regulate AI and where we should draw moral boundaries on its use. 
   
   
   
  In How To Think About AI, Richard Susskind draws on his experience of working on AI since the early 1980s. For Susskind, balancing the benefits and threats of artificial intelligence is the defining challenge of our age. He explores the history of AI and possible scenarios for its future. His views on AI are not always conventional. He positions ChatGPT and generative AI as no more than the latest chapter in the ongoing story of AI and claims we are still at the foothills of developments. He argues that to think responsibly about the impact of AI requires us to look well beyond today's technologies, suggesting that not-yet-invented technologies will have far greater impact on us in the 2030s than the tools we have today. This leads Susskind to discuss the possibility of conscious machines, magnificent new AI-enabled virtual worlds, and the impact of AI on the evolution of biological humans.

  Deborah is a British First World War tank that rose from the grave after taking part in one of the most momentous battles in history. In November 1917, she played a leading role in the first successful massed tank attack at Cambrai. Eighty years later, in a remarkable feat of archaeology, the tank's buried remains were rediscovered and excavated, and are now preserved as a memorial to the battle and to the men who fought in it. John Taylor's book tells the tale of the tank and her crew and tracks down their descendants to uncover a human story every bit as compelling as the military one.
