    These are poems about conversations that we'd like to have with ourselves and with others when our bodies and minds are fraying... 
There's struggle and triumph, loss and humanity within the pages of this eclectic collection of verse. 
Here's what Readers have to say: 
"[This] collection brings together the dilemmas doctors and clinicians face through the voices of poetry in a way that is quite extraordinarily moving. It is about intersections, beliefs, power, frailty and so much more." - Ruth 
"Words from a doctor's heart. The touch-points. The soft, comforting words, the firmness of harsh realities. Acceptance of the inevitable. Or the frustrating answers that make no sense." - Ashish 
"Some of the stories may sound unreal to those who haven't been to crowded public hospitals in large cities. A doctor's perspective beautifully captured. Most of the poems are short stories of amazing tales. If you read poetry or short stories, don't miss out on this one." - Wonchi Murry

    An economist examines the decline of American cities and offers a strategy for their rejuvenation based on respect for property rights. 
 
American cities, once centers of opportunity, are all too often plagued by poverty and decay. One need only look at the ruins of Detroit to see how far some cities have fallen. Yet other examples, like Boston and San Francisco, show that such a fate is reversible. In Boom Towns, Stephen J.K. Walters diagnoses the root causes of urban decline in order to prescribe remedies that will enable cities to thrive once again.  
 
Using vivid evocations of iconic towns and the people who helped shape their development, Walters shows how public revitalization policies often do more harm than good. He then outlines a more promising set of policies to remedy the capital shortage that continues to afflict many cities and needlessly limit their residents’ opportunities. With its fresh interpretation of one of the American quandaries of our day, Boom Towns offers a novel contribution to the debate about American cities and a program for their restoration.

    We don't think anymore, like the ancient Chinese did, that the world was hatched from an egg, or, like the Maori, that it came from the tearing apart of a love embrace. The Greeks told of a tempestuous Hera and a cunning Zeus, but we now use genes and natural selection to explain fear and desire, and physics to demystify the workings of the universe. 
Evolutions brings to life the latest scientific thinking on the birth of the universe and the solar system, the journey from a single cell all the way to our human minds. Reawakening our sense of wonder and terror at the world around us and within us, Oren Harman uses modern science to create new and original mythologies. Here are the earth and the moon presenting a cosmological view of motherhood, a panicking mitochondrion introducing sex and death to the world, the loneliness of consciousness emerging from the memory of an octopus, and the birth of language in evolution summoning humankind's struggle with truth. Science may not solve our existential puzzles, but like the age-old legends, its magical discoveries can help us continue the never-ending search.

    Machine learning is fast becoming an important technique used by multiple industries, and in applications and research. But you don’t have to be part of a massive organization with an endless pot of money to get involved. 
Even beginners using the Python programming language can be a part of machine learning, and that is what this book is for. Today, the only limit to machine learning is your imagination. In this book, I provide you with an overview of machine learning and some practical work to get your hands dirty. 
Here’s what you will learn: 
·      Important machine learning concepts and applications 
·      The difference between supervised and unsupervised learning 
·      Commonly used supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms and models 
·      What libraries you will benefit from using 
·      How to visualize your data 
·      Regression and classification learning models 
·      An introduction to data science 
·      The five-step plan to becoming a data scientist 
·      Ten things that everyone needs to know about machine learning 
You’ll even get a complete hands-on project that takes you through building your own machine learning project. 
What you won't get is a lesson on using Python programming language; this book requires that you already know the basics. 
So, if you are interested in taking your programming even further, scroll up, hit that Buy Now button, and start a new journey of discovery.

    A comprehensive look at Volvo’s innovative, 21st century double-decker designs and how they transformed busing across London. 
 
Volvo’s successful B7TL low-floor double-decker bus enjoyed a successful six-year run until increasing noise problems in London curtailed demand. The company then developed a leaner and quieter update which it dubbed the B9TL, and orders resumed in strength. As diesel-engine buses gradually gave way to battery-hybrid technology in the late 2000s, Volvo unveiled the B5LH hybrid to immediate acclaim and even healthier London sales.  
 
Volvo’s B9TLs and B5LHs quickly became the standard double decker buses in operation across London. This book offers a comprehensive account of these important and innovative machines.
