Sinopse

"Moving Shadows" explores the captivating world of shadows, revealing how they offer a unique lens through which to understand fundamental physics. Delving into the interaction between light and objects, the book elucidates shadow formation, explaining how their shapes and positions shift throughout the day. Shadows are a direct result of rectilinear propagation, the principle that light travels in straight lines, and their appearance is affected by an object's opacity or translucence.

 
The book begins by establishing a solid foundation in basic scientific concepts, clarifying the nature of light and its movement. It then progresses to explore the geometry behind shadow formation and includes hands-on activities like creating shadow puppets. The approach emphasizes direct observation and experimentation, making complex ideas accessible.

 
Ultimately, "Moving Shadows" aims to transform your everyday observations into profound insights. By blending scientific explanations with practical examples, the book connects shadow behavior to various fields like art, architecture, and astronomy, revealing the real-world applications of understanding light and shadow.

    As artificial intelligence evolves beyond narrow task execution, a new frontier is emerging— Building Agency Ai, where intelligent systems are designed to act with autonomy, adapt to uncertainty, and pursue goals independently. 
    This book explores the foundations, architectures, and real-world applications of agentic AI systems, from personal digital assistants and autonomous vehicles to intelligent enterprise agents and AI-driven scientific discovery. It examines how agent-based modeling, reinforcement learning, and cognitive frameworks converge to create AI that is not just reactive, but proactive and purpose-driven. 
    You’ll gain insights into: 
    •	How agentic AI differs from traditional automation 
    •	Design principles for building goal-oriented, context-aware agents 
    •	Ethical and safety considerations for deploying autonomous systems 
    •	Case studies from industries including robotics, healthcare, finance, and defense 
    This book provides a roadmap for understanding and harnessing the power of autonomous AI agents in an increasingly complex world.

    Psychedelics are showing great promise as a new way to heal trauma and improve emotional wellness. Studies reveal that they can be effective in reducing PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms, even in cases that are resistant to other treatments. Stover offers a comprehensive and informative guide for both professionals and patients who are interested in learning more about psychedelic-assisted therapy. 
     
     
      
    Each chapter reveals a vignette taken directly from the psychedelic space that shows the medicines (medium and macro-doses of MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, and cannabis), why they were chosen, and the process used for transformation during the sessions. Stover weaves in wisdom from indigenous and Mexican healers and practitioners with application exercises, writing prompts, and journal entries to deepen the listener's healing journey. These exercises are applicable to all listeners, whether you are working on your own or with a therapist. 
     
     
      
    Healing Psychedelics shows the complete process, enabling the listener to safely unlock the power of psychedelics to heal trauma and transform their life for a brighter future.

    How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth

    Here’s the brutally honest truth: Most traders lose money. 
    How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth takes a candid and detailed look at who trading is for, what it really takes, and how to get started as a day trader. 
    It’s written by me, Ross Cameron, the guy who turned $583 into more than $20 million. 
    My results are not typical. But unlike other people you may have seen on social media talking about the millions they’ve made (while standing next to a rented sports car), my profits as a day trader have been independently audited and verified. I also publish a recap of my trading every single day, whether it’s a red day or a green day, on my YouTube channel. That transparency has earned me more than 2 million subscribers. 
    That same tradition of transparency runs through every page of How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth. 
    Here’s what makes this book different: 
    1. It's written by someone with documented results. Over 35,000 trades, independently audited. 
    2. It clears away the head trash. Most of what you've heard about day trading comes from social media, friends, or family with strong opinions and no real experience. 
    3. It gives you twenty specific guardrails. These are the rules I follow—plus the ones I wish I'd known when I was starting out. 
    If you’re looking for day trading books for beginners, this is the one to start with. And if you’re not a beginner but your trading is going nowhere, this may be the book that gets you back on track. 
    Real day trading is nothing like what you see on social media. After you read this book, you’ll know why. 
    If you listen to my recaps on YouTube, you’ve already heard what I’m about to say. Trading is risky, most traders lose money, and there is no guarantee you’ll find success, whether you learn from me or trade on your own. So please, take it slow and always practice in a simulator before putting real money on the line. You can read my full disclaimer on the Warrior Trading website.

    Follow the Science? - But be...

    This book comes from two authors with scientific backgrounds. It recognises the huge advances made through science and their beneficial impact on society. However, it also expresses concern that the essentially tentative nature of scientific conclusions is being replaced by a growing tendency to accord to science the last word on a range of subjects. While the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic of 2020 has shown some of the uncertainties associated with scientific research, this book demonstrates that these become more apparent in such fundamental areas as the origin of both life and the universe, as well as the abiding mystery of mind and consciousness. The authors argue persuasively that we should recognise the limitations of science as well as its unquestionable strength.  
    David Galloway MD DSc was a Consultant Surgeon and is currently Honorary Professor of Surgery at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He was, until recently, the President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow.  
    Alastair Noble PhD spent most of his career in science education and educational management and was latterly the Field Officer for School Leaders Scotland. Both are committed Christians.

    From Chaos to Stability - How...

    Israel Rosenfield, Edward Ziff

    At the heart of Israel Rosenfield and Edward Ziff's inquiry is the nature of brain function. The sensory world is disordered and chaotic. There are no labels for tables, chairs, or airplanes, and indeed there are no colors, sounds, or smells, only photons, airwaves, odorant molecules, and so on, which are unlabeled and impossible to "know." 
     
     
     
    To make sense of this chaos, the brain must simplify the sensory inputs by creating, or inventing, the colors, sounds, smells, forms, and faces that are perceived in consciousness, which become a proxy for the chaotic world in which we live. The brain's ability to generalize and categorize these invented perceptions, and to relate them to one another, enables it to form memories, which are not fixed representations of things past, but a dynamic and malleable function of the brain that is relational. 
     
     
     
    When formation of these worlds breaks down, neurological differences arise. Although the mechanisms that transform sensory chaos into the simplified perceptions experienced in consciousness remain elusive, Rosenfield and Ziff relate what they have learned by means of imaging brain activity and by mapping the neural circuits that comprise memory traces. In addition, the authors offer perspectives for future studies of consciousness.
