Synopsis

"Bike Highways" explores the rise of high-speed bike lanes as integral components of urban transportation. It examines how cities globally are adapting infrastructure to embrace cycling, moving beyond mere amenities to establish efficient and equitable systems. These dedicated bike networks aim to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and boost public health. The book highlights that well-designed cycling infrastructure is not just about recreation; it's about improving urban sustainability and fostering economic development by providing affordable transportation options.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview of urban cycling to case studies of successful bike lane networks in cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam. It delves into technical design aspects, such as route planning and signaling systems, and explores the social and economic impacts, including effects on property values and public health. Data from diverse sources, including urban planning reports and traffic monitoring systems, quantifies the benefits. A unique focus is on the practical challenges and opportunities in building and maintaining these bike highways, offering a realistic assessment of the costs, benefits, and trade-offs involved in implementation.

    Deep learning has revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, enabling computers to perform complex tasks that were once thought to be exclusive to human intelligence. Python, with its rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, has emerged as the language of choice for implementing deep learning algorithms. 
    "Deep Learning with Python: Bridging the Gap for Advanced AI" is a comprehensive guide that takes readers on a journey through the world of deep learning, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to bridge the gap between basic understanding and advanced applications. 
    This book begins with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of deep learning, covering neural networks, deep architectures, and optimization techniques. Readers will explore the building blocks of deep learning with Python, including data preparation and preprocessing, model selection and evaluation, and an in-depth look at popular deep learning libraries and tools like TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch. 
    Moving beyond the basics, the book dives into advanced techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image classification and object detection, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for sequence modeling and language generation, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) for image generation and style transfer. 
    The book also delves into deep learning for natural language processing, covering word embeddings, language modeling, and text classification. It explores transfer learning and deep reinforcement learning, providing insights into how pre-trained models can be leveraged and how deep learning can be applied to solve complex problems in reinforcement learning domains.

    The trouble with being over fifty is that everything starts to change. By sixty, gravity has started to pull hard and by seventy there is an urgent need to cover up some of the wobbly bits. The female ageing process has not been helped by society’s worship of youth and airbrushed beauty. Yet despite the youth-obsessed society of which the fashion industry is only one reflection, women continue to need to feel good about themselves, to nurture their self-confidence; to re-educate themselves about what works and why, to seek new doyennes of style and to retain beauty that is attainable past the first blush of youth.
    In this timely new edition of her tongue-in-cheek look at the fashion world, Kaaren Hale gives us her take on the industry and how to confidently find your own style in an ever-changing and confusing landscape.The women of her generation are the product of the conservative Fifties, the Swinging Sixties, the boom-boom Eighties and sober Nineties. They have enjoyed many heydays and aren’t ready to give up just yet. So why is it that the fashion industry, with few exceptions, directs all its ideas to the very young?
    Although the lack of style mentors and fashion choices is disheartening, women do not have to fill their wardrobes with dreary clothes, insensitive to the high-spirited girl inside them who still craves fashion adventure. They may not have Donna Karan to guide them personally through the minefield of middle age, but they can learn from their peers who already know how to do it – and enjoy the ride. This is a book for a generation of women that has done it all, seen it all and still wants to look – and feel – good.

    The “Mozart of mathematics” invites listeners on a brief tour of six core ideas—numbers, algebra, geometry, probability, analysis, and dynamics—that capture the beauty and power of mathematical thinking for everyone. This program is read by the author.In Six Math Essentials, the renowned mathematician and Fields Medalist Terence Tao introduces readers to six central concepts that have guided mathematicians from antiquity to the frontiers of what we know today and now help us make sense of our complex world. This slim, elegant volume explores numbers as the gateway to quantitative thinking; algebra as the gateway to abstraction; geometry as a way to calculate beyond what we can see; probability as a tool to navigate uncertainty with rigorous thinking; analysis as a means to tame the very large or the very small; and dynamics as the mathematics of change. Six Math Essentials—Tao’s first popular math book—provides a glimpse into the workings of Tao’s incomparable mind and how he thinks about the creativity and interconnectedness of the mathematical enterprise. Contrary to popular perception, math, he insists, isn’t magic—it's a powerful way of thinking that anyone can learn.A Macmillan Audio production from Quanta Books
