  Throughout history, humankind has marveled at the natural world, from the majesty of towering mountains to the depths of the oceans. Yet, some phenomena defy explanation, remaining elusive and enigmatic. One such phenomenon is the sonic anomaly known as Sound's Fury—a violent, inexplicable burst of sound that seems to break all the rules of nature. Its origins, causes, and implications have puzzled scientists, captivated the public, and left a trail of unanswered questions. This book delves deep into the sonic enigma, exploring its mystery and the far-reaching impact it has had on the world. 
  Sound's Fury, a term coined to describe these overwhelming sonic events, is not a fictional occurrence but a genuine, puzzling phenomenon that has been observed around the globe. The first reports came from isolated locations where communities were shaken by intense, thunderous sounds that appeared out of nowhere, yet left no visible source. It wasn't long before similar incidents began to spread across different regions, sparking intrigue, fear, and a sense of helplessness among those who experienced them. What makes this phenomenon even more baffling is the absence of any clear pattern or consistent explanation. 
  Over time, experts have tried to analyze these events from a scientific standpoint. Acousticians, geophysicists, and even space scientists have worked tirelessly to find answers. They have proposed several theories, ranging from natural phenomena like sonic booms or atmospheric anomalies to more complex, speculative causes, such as unknown seismic activities or extraterrestrial influences. Despite their best efforts, none of these explanations have fully captured the essence of Sound's Fury or provided a definitive answer.

  The Engineered Primate - Natures...

  What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition… has gone unnoticed? 
  For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: 
  Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules. 
  But beneath the surface, something just doesn’t add up. 
  The human body thrives without our conscious control: 
  Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere – with no chef, no control tower, no captain. 
  Which really begs the question: how does it all work? 
  The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: 
  Why does digestion even exist? 
  What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary? 
  How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer? 
  …and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models? 
  This is not another diet manual. 
  It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.

  AI has acquired startling new language capabilities in just the past few years. Driven by rapid advances in deep learning, language AI systems are able to write and understand text better than ever before. This trend is enabling new features, products, and entire industries. With this book, listeners will learn practical tools and concepts they need to use these capabilities today. 
   
   
   
  You'll understand how to use pretrained large language models for use cases like copywriting and summarization; create semantic search systems that go beyond keyword matching; and use existing libraries and pretrained models for text classification, search, and clusterings. 
   
   
   
  This book also helps you understand the architecture of Transformer language models that excel at text generation and representation; build advanced LLM pipelines to cluster text documents and explore the topics they cover; build semantic search engines that go beyond keyword search, using methods like dense retrieval and rerankers; explore how generative models can be used, from prompt engineering all the way to retrieval-augmented generation; and gain a deeper understanding of how to train LLMs and optimize them for specific applications using generative model fine-tuning, contrastive fine-tuning, and in-context learning.

  Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
   
   
   
  Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
   
   
   
  Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

  Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
   
   
   
  Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
   
   
   
  To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.
