  This bundle is a comprehensive exploration of the forces that shape our planet—and beyond. This engaging volume merges three interconnected scientific fields to offer a captivating look at Earth's dynamic systems and their cosmic parallels. 
  Begin with Geology, the foundational science of Earth’s structure and processes. Learn how tectonic plates shift to create mountains and earthquakes, how minerals form, and how rocks record the history of Earth across billions of years. Uncover the secrets buried deep within Earth's crust, from volcanoes and fossil records to the power of erosion and glaciation. 
  Next, venture into Astrogeology, where Earth science meets space exploration. This field applies geological principles to other celestial bodies—such as the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. Discover how craters form on the Moon, what Martian soil is made of, and what geological features on distant planets can teach us about Earth’s own evolution. 
  Finally, immerse yourself in Hydrology, the study of water in all its forms and movements. From underground aquifers to the ocean’s currents, this section covers the water cycle, river systems, precipitation, and the crucial role of water in sustaining life and shaping landscapes. It also highlights modern challenges like water scarcity, flooding, and the impact of climate change on hydrological systems. 
  Together, these three disciplines offer a rich and accessible guide for students, educators, and lifelong learners fascinated by the inner workings of Earth and its connection to the wider universe.

  From gunpowder to generative AI, the forces of disruption are repeatedly rewriting the rules of business, society, and human possibility. But what drives these revolutionary changes? In Epic Disruptions, innovation expert Scott Anthony weaves together the stories behind history's most transformative disruptions. Through eleven pivotal innovations, Anthony reveals the hidden patterns behind world-changing breakthroughs. But Epic Disruptions goes beyond just celebrating invention. Through storytelling and analysis, Anthony introduces the iconoclasts who dared to think differently—the Renaissance-era scientists, French-cooking enthusiasts, and corporate visionaries who saw opportunities others missed. He decodes how genuine disruption actually happens, stripping away the mythology. As artificial intelligence and other technologies promise to unleash another wave of transformation, Epic Disruptions arrives at the perfect moment—offering innovators and curious listeners a fascinating exploration of how radical change reshapes industries, launches new powers, and occasionally changes everything.

  Gain a broader understanding of Algorithms and their role in everyday life. 
  Have you ever asked yourself why you need to learn Algorithms? 
  What is their use in our daily life? 
  Have you ever wondered how learning Algorithms can benefit you? 
  Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned veteran, this book is designed to be easy to follow. There are no big leaps of thought, and any time a new concept is introduced, it is explained right away. This book is written in a friendly tone that explains exactly what you need to know without overcomplicating things. 
  This book is a quantum leap forward from other machine learning books on the market. It is written for beginners but includes more technical information for people interested in diving deeper into the field. If you're just starting out with machine learning, this book will help you get up to speed quickly by giving you some background knowledge, providing concrete examples, and guiding you towards solving problems of your own. However, even experienced data scientists can benefit from some of the examples and applications in this book 
  In this book, you will:Learn the different types of Algorithms and how they workLearn about the practical uses of AlgorithmsGet background knowledge about Algorithms with concrete examplesMaster Selection sort and RecursionDiscover Quicksort with real-life examplesLearn about Hashtags and why they are usefulDiscover Breadth-first search and Dijkstra’s algorithmMaster dynamic programming 
  Extra care is taken to curate the contents of this book. It doesn’t include every sorting algorithm—you can find an excellent introduction to them online. It includes only algorithms that are practical, widely used, and not too easy.

  Feminism in the Wild - How Human...

  In Feminism in the Wild, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful. How can animal behavior science escape this trap of naturalizing dominant culture? 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of feminist, antiracist, queer, disability justice, and Marxist contributions—including those of biologists—Kamath and Packer break down persistent assumptions in the status quo of animal behavior science and offer a multitude of alternative approaches. Core concepts in animal behavior science and evolutionary biology are carefully contextualized and critically reexamined. This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist and a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating and hopeful book for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, and anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression.

  City Planning - Concepts and...

  City planning is more than just the design of roads, buildings, and parks; it is the blueprint for a society's future. The way cities are planned has a profound impact on the lives of their inhabitants, influencing everything from the air they breathe to their access to resources and opportunities. At its core, city planning seeks to create environments that are not only functional but also sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. In an era where urbanization is increasing rapidly, the importance of thoughtful city planning has never been greater. 
  The planning process involves much more than the physical layout of a city. It encompasses strategies for economic growth, social equity, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation. A well-planned city can enhance quality of life, boost economic productivity, and provide a sense of community, while a poorly planned city can lead to overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation. As more people move into cities every year, urban planners are tasked with creating spaces that are not only livable but also adaptable to future needs. 
  One of the most pressing reasons for effective city planning is the growing concern over environmental issues. Cities are responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, and urban sprawl has led to the depletion of natural resources. Through sustainable urban planning practices, cities can reduce their environmental footprint by promoting energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy sources, and green spaces. Additionally, proper planning can mitigate the effects of climate change, such as flooding and heat islands, by incorporating resilient infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather conditions.
