Synopsis

How Boats Float explores the science of buoyancy, revealing why massive ships stay afloat while small objects sink. The book centers on Archimedes' principle, explaining how an object's weight relative to the fluid it displaces determines whether it floats. Understanding density and specific gravity is also crucial, as variations in these properties dictate buoyancy outcomes, impacting ship design and beyond. The book progresses from fundamental principles to practical applications, dedicating chapters to Archimedes' principle, density's role, and ship/submarine design. It uniquely integrates historical context, scientific rigor, and engineering applications, moving beyond theory to demonstrate real-world usage. The approach includes experimental data, historical accounts, diagrams, and illustrations to visually demonstrate key concepts, providing a comprehensive understanding of fluid mechanics.

    Good Grief - On Loving Pets Here...

    An unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they’ve passed. 
    E.B. Bartels has had a lot of pets—dogs, birds, fish, tortoises. As varied a bunch as they are, they’ve taught her one universal truth: to own a pet is to love a pet, and to own a pet is also—with rare exception—to lose that pet in time. 
    But while we have codified traditions to mark the passing of our fellow humans, most cultures don’t have the same for pets. Bartels takes us from Massachusetts to Japan, from ancient Egypt to the modern era, in search of the good pet death. We meet veterinarians, archaeologists, ministers, and more, offering an idiosyncratic, inspiring array of rituals—from the traditional (scattering ashes, commissioning a portrait), to the grand (funereal processions, mausoleums), to the unexpected (taxidermy, cloning). The central lesson: there is no best practice when it comes to mourning your pet, except to care for them in death as you did in life, and find the space to participate in their end as fully as you can. 
    Punctuated by wry, bighearted accounts of Bartels’s own pets and their deaths, Good Grief is a cathartic companion through loving and losing our animal family. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Most professionals use tools like Claude or ChatGPT as advanced search engines, asking one question and getting one answer. Meanwhile, a small group of entrepreneurs and business leaders is quietly deploying AI agent teams that research, analyze, write, and execute complex projects automatically, delivering results that rival expensive consultants at a fraction of the cost. 
    Claude Code Agent Teams for Beginners reveals exactly how to build these sophisticated AI workflows using Claude Opus 4.6, without writing a single line of code. AI engineer Michael Patterson, who leads 120+ engineers at a major tech company, shares the production-tested patterns he uses to orchestrate multiple AI agents that work together like a specialized human team. 
    What You'll Master: 
    Transform from single-prompt interactions to coordinating entire AI workforces. Learn to design research and writing teams that produce publication-ready content, implement quality control systems with critic and editor agents, deploy parallel processing workflows that analyze dozens of competitors simultaneously, create hierarchical agent structures for complex project management, and automate business operations, including email triage, customer support, and report generation. 
    No Technical Skills Required: 
    Every technique uses natural language prompts and browser-based platforms. Advanced users will find integration strategies with automation tools, while beginners can achieve remarkable results with only Claude.ai.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is upending life, work, and play as we know it, and it's only just getting started. The rise of AI is a milestone on par with the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, and the creation of the internet. In short, AI is going to change everything. For some, that's an exciting prospect. For others, it's terrifying. However you feel about AI, there's no escaping it, whether you're in a global metropolis or a farmer in rural KwaZulu-Natal.
    Dr Mark Nasila has been watching AI's ascent for over a decade, studying its effects on everything from agriculture and aviation to healthcare, education, entertainment, crime prevention, energy management, policy creation, finance, and anything in between, and applying them to his role at one of South Africa's most successful financial institutions, First National Bank, a division of FirstRand Group.
    African Artificial Intelligence is a comprehensive and fascinating journey, tracing the rise of AI and its evolution into the emerging technology underpinning all others – from connected devices and smart chatbots to the metaverse. Mark combines unexpected use cases and tales of cutting-edge innovation with a unique and potent argument: harnessing AI to solve Africa's problems requires embracing it from an African perspective.
    African nations can't afford to simply import AI solutions from afar. Instead, Mark contends, they need to rework, remix, and refine AI so it's able to meet uniquely African challenges in uniquely African ways, and to take advantage of the once-in-a-generation opportunity AI represents for every industry, sector, and person, everywhere.
