  What does it take to prevail in Antarctica? 
   
   
   
  Four geologists and two mountain guides face the brutal beauty of West Antarctica eight hundred miles from the United States main base. Their search reaches far into the treacherous mountains of Marie Byrd Land. Over six weeks of living in tents and traveling by snowmobile, the team endures endless cold and furious blizzards. They cross ice fields and hidden crevasses, which one of the team learns about the hard way. 
   
   
   
  What keeps them going in spite of these dangers? Will the mountains give up their secrets? Can these scientists find evidence of the formation of the ranges many millions of years ago as the giant continent of Gondwana began to break apart? Was a new continent, now known as Zealandia, created by this event? 
   
   
   
  Mighty Bad Land, told firsthand by Bruce Luyendyk, a former professor of geology, reveals his inner battles and challenges: he's almost fifty, asthmatic, and fights chronic pain. Through deft storytelling, listeners are invited into a land of emptiness, beauty, constant daylight, and unseen menace.

  The Human-Agent Orchestrator -...

  From the authors of a Forbes "Top 10 Must-Read Tech Book" for 2025. 
   
  “The magic isn’t in bigger AI models, it’s in Orchestration.” 
  —Andrew Ng, Founder, DeepLearning.AI and Coursera 
  “The era of the user is ending. The era of the Orchestrator has begun.” 
  —Marshall Goldsmith, two-time Thinkers50 #1 Global Leadership Thinker 
   
  We are the last generation to manage only humans. The next will manage hybrid teams of humans and AI agents. Most leaders are not ready. 
   
  The rare organizations achieving 200% productivity gains from AI are not using better technology than those achieving 20%. They are managing it differently. 
  The authors learned this from failure. Across many AI deployments, the pattern became clear: capable agents failed not from weak technology, but from a missing management layer. 
  Human-Agent Orchestration is that layer: a new discipline for designing, directing, and scaling work across humans and AI agents. Built from four years of research across 432 organizations and hard lessons learned in the field. 
   
  Not how to build AI agents. How to lead them.  
  Not another tool. A new management discipline. 
   
  What you will learn: 
  • The 70/30 Rule: which management skills transfer to agents, and which will quietly sabotage your team. 
  • The Supervision Trap: why the way you currently work makes you the bottleneck instead of the leader. 
  • The Orchestration Design Canvas: six layers to build a system that runs without you: Source, Success, Safety, Steering, Switch, and Sharpen. 
  • The Autonomy Dial: when to give agents the keys, and when to keep humans at the wheel. 
  • Default Governance: agents do not take control. Humans abdicate it. 
  • The Identity Shift: how to save your team from Scope Collapse, Mastery Vacuum, and Purpose Drift. 
   
  This book is for leaders using AI, deploying agents, and trying to scale impact without scaling chaos. 
   
  Old leadership controlled the work. New leadership designs the system that produces it.

  The Xenotext: Book 2

  The first work of ‘living poetry’ in the world, by the author of the bestselling book Eunoia. 
  Christian Bök in Book 1 of The Xenotext outlined his plan to encode a poem into the genome of a deathless bacterium, thereby writing a text durable enough to outlive any apocalypse, surviving until the death of the Sun itself. After more than two decades of effort, Bök has, at last, succeeded at this incredible experiment, and Book 2 of The Xenotext situates his enterprise within the deep time of the cosmos. 
  Bök rehearses some of the techniques likely to be used in the future to preserve the cultural heritage of our civilization against a potential planetary disaster (be it thermonuclear warfare or astrophysical barrage); moreover, Bök speculates that, buried within the biochemistry of Life itself, there really does exist an innate beauty, if not a hidden poetry – a literal message that we might read, if we deign to seek it.
