  Steel: From Mine to Mill the...

  Steel is the metal that built the modern world. When its formula was finally deciphered about 150 years ago, it began to flow from hearths in increasing amounts. It built railroads, steel ships, skyscrapers, and bridges around the world, in the process propelling the great powers of the world -- Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union -- into global economic dominance. 
  In Steel, author Brooke C. Stoddard follows the fascinating story of iron and steel from pre-history through the Industrial Revolution and into the present age. Stoddard then dives into the world of modern steelmaking, joining the men and women who live in this world every day: he visits open-pit iron mines in the Mesabi Iron range, rides with 58,000 tons of iron ore on a thousand-foot ore boat from Duluth to Cleveland, climbs to the top of the country’s largest blast furnace, interviews workers as they toil next to their furnaces of liquid metal, and walks through the immense rolling mills where steel is pressed into products. 
  The result is an extraordinary book about what many may think of as ordinary, but in reality is the metal that forms the backbone of modern civilization.

  Tyrannosaurus Rex The: The...

  The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, certain kinds of dinosaurs remain instantly recognizable, and among them, the “king” is undoubtedly the Tyrannosaurus.  
  	The first discovery of a Tyrannosaurus was made in 1902 and the largest carnivorous dinosaur ever found at the time quickly gripped the popular imagination. Even its name was dramatic - Tyrannosaurus Rex means “King of the Tyrant Lizards.” The T-Rex as it quickly became known didn’t appear until the last age of the Late Cretaceous period, the Maastrichtian, but when it did, it was the biggest and most terrifying of all the theropod predators. The T-Rex was around 13 feet tall at the hips (its tallest point since it isn’t believe to have stood upright), it was over 35 feet long, and it weighed about nine metric tons. Like most therapods, it had very powerful hind legs and much smaller fore legs, so the front legs look almost comically small. This dinosaur also had a large and powerful tail to counterbalance its very large head (some T-Rex skulls are nearly five feet long). Within the skull was a massive jaw lined with teeth up to a foot long. A reconstructive study has estimated that a T-Rex jaw was capable of exerting a pressure of over 55,000 Newtons; the equivalent of almost six tons of pressure. It was fast too, possibly capable of moving at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour.

  We’ve heard it all before: AI will upend industries, kill jobs and remake everything from healthcare to art. But between the hype and the hand-wringing lies a simpler, more pressing question: Is AI actually useful? And if so, useful for what, and for whom? 
  In How to Make AI Useful, MIT researcher Dr Bryan Reimer and Swedish futurologist Magnus Lindkvist cut through the noise. Blending decades of research, trendspotting and hands-on experience, they chart AI’s journey from dazzling gimmick to disruptive force—and now to indispensable tool. 
  This isn’t another book about robot overlords or utopian tech dreams. Instead, it’s a rough guide to AI’s messy middle—the phase where machines meet human complexity. From automating the tedious to amplifying creativity, Reimer and Lindkvist show how to harness AI’s potential for real progress, long after today’s bubble bursts.
