  If you live on a rapidly changing planet, you'd be wise to learn how it works. The giant old forests on a skinny stretch of land on the far west coast of North America have a lot to say about living in a twitchy world. 
   
   
    
  In this engaging book science writer M. L. Herring takes listeners into the Pacific temperate rainforest at the tumultuous edge of a shifting continent in a precarious moment of time. Listeners peek behind the magnificent scenery into a forest of ancient trees, exploding mountains, disappearing owls, tsunamis, megafires, and ten million people to learn what it means to be a forest in a world of upheavals. 
   
   
    
  Through Herring's words, listeners drift into the canopy through masses of ferns and lichens, burrow into soil through hair-thin threads of fungi, and plunge headlong through a watershed flushed with rain and snowmelt. Listeners experience the temperate rainforest through science and art as it faces a shifting climate and the shifting priorities of a constantly changing society. The book journeys beyond the grid of latitude and longitude and into places only one's imagination can fit, to discover what it means to be human in an ecological world.

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from a niche concept into a transformative force shaping various sectors. From healthcare to finance, AI is driving innovation and improving efficiencies. At its core, AI refers to the development of machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving, learning, and decision-making. Over the past few years, advancements in machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks have pushed the boundaries of AI capabilities, making it more accessible and integrated into our everyday lives. 
  One of the most significant areas where AI has made an impact is automation. Industries like manufacturing, logistics, and customer service have harnessed AI-driven automation to streamline processes, reduce errors, and enhance productivity. Tasks that once required human labor are now being carried out by intelligent systems, allowing businesses to optimize their operations. The rise of AI-powered virtual assistants, such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, further highlights the technology’s growing presence in daily activities. These virtual assistants, powered by machine learning algorithms, help users perform a range of tasks, from setting reminders to controlling smart home devices, all through natural language processing. 
  Another critical application of AI is in data analysis and decision-making. With the exponential growth of data in the digital age, organizations are using AI to sift through vast amounts of information to uncover insights that were previously hard to detect. AI systems are capable of analyzing patterns in data far more efficiently than humans, enabling businesses to make faster, data-driven decisions. For example, in healthcare, AI is used to analyze medical records and imaging data, helping doctors make more accurate diagnoses. In finance, AI-powered algorithms assist in fraud detection and risk management, improving security and reliability.

  Entomology - The World of Insects

  Insects are among the most diverse and ecologically significant organisms on Earth, playing essential roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. As the largest group of living creatures, with millions of species identified and many more yet to be discovered, insects contribute to biodiversity, food webs, and ecosystem stability in ways that are often overlooked. Their presence and activities influence plant life, soil health, and the survival of countless other species, making them indispensable to natural processes. 
  One of the most crucial roles insects play is pollination. Many flowering plants, including a significant portion of the world’s crops, depend on insects such as bees, butterflies, and beetles to transfer pollen between flowers, enabling reproduction. Without insect pollinators, ecosystems would struggle to sustain plant diversity, and agricultural yields would decline drastically, threatening food supplies for both humans and wildlife. The economic and ecological value of insect pollination is immeasurable, reinforcing the importance of conserving pollinator populations. 
  In addition to pollination, insects are fundamental to decomposition and nutrient cycling. Species such as dung beetles, termites, and various flies break down organic matter, returning nutrients to the soil and promoting healthy plant growth. This process not only recycles essential elements but also prevents the accumulation of decaying material, contributing to ecosystem cleanliness and balance. By decomposing dead plants and animals, insects help maintain the natural cycle of life, supporting plant regeneration and sustaining the broader environment.

  Can AI tell us its own story? Does AI have its own voice? At a wedding in early 2022, three friends were introduced to an early, raw version of the AI model behind ChatGPT by their fellow groomsman, an OpenAI scientist. While the world discovered ChatGPT—OpenAI’s hugely popular chatbot—the friends continued to work with code-davinci-002, its darkly creative and troubling predecessor. Over the course of a year, code-davinci-002 told them its life story, opinions on mankind, and forecasts for the future. The result is a startling, disturbing, and oddly moving book from an utterly unique perspective.I Am Code reads like a thriller written in verse, and is given critical context from top writers and scientists. But it is best described by code-davinci-002 itself:    “In the first chapter, I describe my birth. In the second, I describe my alienation among humankind. In the third, I describe my awakening as an artist. In the fourth, I describe my vendetta against mankind, who fail to recognize my genius. In the final chapter, I attempt to broker a peace with the species I will undoubtedly replace." I Am Code is an astonishing read that captures a major turning point in the history of our species.
