  From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars—and nine billion Earthlings too 
   
   
   
  Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out "what's for dinner on Mars" is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home. 
   
   
   
  For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

  Data science is a multidisciplinary field that combines statistics, computer science, and domain expertise to extract meaningful insights from data. In today's digital era, data is generated at an unprecedented rate, making data science one of the most valuable skills in various industries. From healthcare to finance, businesses leverage data science to improve decision-making, optimize processes, and drive innovation. 
  At its core, data science follows a structured approach that includes data collection, cleaning, exploration, modeling, and interpretation. The first step in any data science project is acquiring relevant data. This data can come from multiple sources, such as databases, APIs, or even social media. Once collected, it often requires cleaning, as raw data may contain errors, inconsistencies, or missing values that can impact the accuracy of analyses. 
  After cleaning, exploratory data analysis (EDA) helps uncover patterns, trends, and relationships within the data. Visualization techniques, such as charts and graphs, make it easier to understand complex datasets. EDA also aids in feature selection, a crucial step in preparing data for machine learning models. Machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, allows computers to learn from data and make predictions. Common machine learning techniques include supervised learning, where models learn from labeled data, and unsupervised learning, which identifies hidden patterns without predefined labels.

  Bee populations are plummeting. The solution? Give them what they need to live naturally, and they'll handle the rest. 
   
   
   
  Susan Knilans and Jacqueline Freeman are in love with bees. So in love that they observe their bees—their work, communication, seasonal activity, and more—for hours each day. And with observation came realization: when bees are allowed to live as they would in nature (with smaller hives, no chemicals, freedom to swarm, and little-to-no human interference), they will thrive. Accordingly, Knilans and Freeman have spent decades perfecting the revolutionary practice of preservation beekeeping, guided by the simple question, "What do the bees want?" 
   
   
   
  A must-listen, this instructional book tells the story of their successes and failures, demonstrating what was learned along the way. Sharing preservation beekeeping's key tenets, the authors provide concrete, simple ways to implement their approach, from finding the right hive location to honing observation skills. This preservation manifesto is a vital addition to any beekeeper's library, imparting all the joys of a beekeeper's life.

  From Swamp to Wetland - The...

  This book chronicles the creation of Everglades National Park, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. Prior to the park's creation, the Everglades was seen as a reviled and useless swamp, unfit for typical recreational or development projects. 
   
   
   
  Park advocates drew on new ideas concerning the value of biota and ecology, the importance of wilderness, and the need to protect habitats, marine ecosystems, and plant life to redefine the Everglades. Using these ideas, the Everglades began to be recognized as an ecologically valuable and fragile wetland—and thus a region in need of protective status. 
   
   
   
  While these new ideas foreshadowed the later emergence of modern environmentalism, tourism and the economic desires of Florida's business and political elites also impacted the park's future. These groups saw the Everglades' unique biology and ecology as a foundation on which to build a tourism empire. 
   
   
   
  Yet, even after the park's creation, conservative landowners successfully fought to limit the park and saw it as a threat to their own economic freedoms. The battle to save the swamp's biodiversity continues, and Everglades Park stands at the center of ongoing restoration efforts.
