  The overflow of information generated during disasters can be as paralyzing to humanitarian response as the lack of information. This flash flood of information—social media, satellite imagery and more—is often referred to as Big Data. Making sense of this data deluge during disasters is proving an impossible challenge for traditional humanitarian organizations, which explains why they’re turning to Digital Humanitarians. Who exactly are these Digital Humanitarians and how do they make sense of Big Data? Digital Humanitarians: How Big Data Is Changing the Face of Humanitarian Response answers this question. 
   
  Digital Humanitarians are you, me, all of us—volunteers, students and professionals from the world over and from all walks of life. What do they share in common? They desire to make a difference, and they do by rapidly mobilizing online in collaboration with international humanitarian organizations. In virtually real-time, they make sense of vast volumes of social media, SMS and imagery captured from satellites and UAVs to support relief efforts worldwide. How? They craft and leverage ingenious crowdsourcing solutions with trail-blazing insights from artificial intelligence. 
   
  This book charts the sudden and spectacular rise of Digital Humanitarians by sharing their remarkable, real-life stories, highlighting how their humanity coupled with innovative solutions to Big Data is changing humanitarian response forever. Digital Humanitarians will make you think differently about what it means to be humanitarian and will invite you to join the journey online.

  Look Smart, Listen Smart: A Listener’s Guide to Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time is a clear, confidence-building companion to one of the most famous — and most challenging — popular science books ever written. 
  Stephen Hawking’s classic asks some of the biggest questions imaginable: Did the universe have a beginning? What is time? Why do black holes matter? Can physics explain the whole of reality? This guide helps listeners understand the structure, ideas, and importance of Hawking’s book before committing to the full work. 
  Written for curious non-specialists, it explains relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the expanding universe, the arrow of time, wormholes, and the search for a unified theory in plain, intelligent language. It is not a substitute for Hawking’s original, but a serious orientation to it — showing what each chapter does, why the ideas matter, and whether the book is likely to suit you. 
  Ideal for audiobook listeners, students, science lovers, and thoughtful readers who want to approach difficult books with more confidence, Look Smart, Listen Smart helps you listen deeper, understand faster, and get more from a landmark work of modern science.

  In the United States, millions of people experience the life-changing event of pregnancy every year, but for nearly one-third of them, the journey comes with heightened risks. In this compassionate guide, obstetrician-gynecologist Alan M. Peaceman, MD, explores the complexities of high-risk pregnancies with the empathy and clarity that every expectant parent deserves. 
   
   
   
  With over thirty years of experience treating patients with high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Peaceman explains what constitutes a high-risk pregnancy and how to identify factors that make one more likely; the potential effects of medication use during pregnancy; how to address anxiety, depression, and postpartum depression for women with preexisting mental health conditions; and the challenges associated with advanced maternal age. He also discusses how to manage preexisting health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases; how to evaluate the baby for genetic and structural abnormalities; how to identify and treat pregnancy complications; and special considerations and strategies for handling multiples. 
   
   
   
  This companion for expectant parents and their families provides essential knowledge and guidance on how to make informed choices while working collaboratively with health care providers.
