Sinopse

“A must-have for any design, architecture, or Bay Area enthusiast.” —Front Door/HGTV   An innovative landmark a quarter century in the making, the eastern span of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge represents the latest spectacular chapter in the history of this storied structure. The new bridge’s architect, Donald MacDonald, teams up with author Ira Nadel to create this illuminating book. With friendly text and charming illustrations, Bay Bridge reveals the design decisions that have shaped the evolution of the bridge over the last century—from the history of the original bridge, through the planning of the new span, to the construction of its signature 525-foot-high white tower. This volume offers a fascinating read for San Francisco devotees, architecture buffs, and tourists.   “Evokes all the mythic splendor and danger of the ‘Titan of Bridges’ . . . As the architect of the new eastern span of the bridge, MacDonald brings intimate knowledge of the technical, political, and geological hurdles involved in its construction.” —ForeWord Reviews

    The future is here: Self-driving cars are on the streets, an algorithm gives you movie and TV recommendations, IBM's Watson triumphed on Jeopardy over puny human brains, computer programs can be trained to play Atari games. But how do all these things work? In this book, Sean Gerrish offers an engaging and accessible overview of the breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and machine learning that have made today's machines so smart. Gerrish outlines some of the key ideas that enable intelligent machines to perceive and interact with the world. He describes the software architecture that allows self-driving cars to stay on the road and to navigate crowded urban environments; the million-dollar Netflix competition for a better recommendation engine; and how programmers trained computers to perform certain behaviors by offering them treats, as if they were training a dog. He explains how artificial neural networks enable computers to perceive the world—and to play Atari video games better than humans. Gerrish weaves the stories behind these breakthroughs into the narrative, introducing listeners to many of the researchers involved, and keeping technical details to a minimum. Science and technology buffs will find this book an essential guide to a future in which machines can outsmart people.

    The world of fertility treatments has changed substantially in less than a decade. Much like computer technology, software, cell phones, and even the music industry, the field of fertility science is transforming at a stunning rate. What was considered standard care and treatment only six or seven years ago is now thought of as “old school” and passé. In Your Fertility, Your Family, a world-renowned fertility provider offers the latest treatment template used to diagnose and overcome fertility challenges. Dr. William Schoolcraft and his team of clinicians address the latest causes and treatment plans for age-related infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and failed IVF cycles. The growing Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine team tackles new treatments and options that have emerged and are expected to develop over the next decade.
