  Texas is a land of extremes. From the dry deserts of the Trans-Pecos to the humid Gulf Coast, from the rolling Hill Country to the flat prairies, no state in America faces such a wide spectrum of natural fury. The very size and diversity of Texas mean that when disaster comes, it comes in many forms, hurricanes that drown entire cities, flash floods that sweep away homes in the night, tornadoes that reduce downtowns to rubble, droughts that starve farms for years, and even man-made catastrophes born of fire, gas, and explosives. 
  In no other place is the saying “everything’s bigger in Texas” truer, or more tragic. Disasters here are not just local events. They ripple outward, changing laws, inspiring massive engineering feats, and reshaping the way communities think about safety, survival, and resilience. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900, the drought of the 1950s, Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and the Kerrville floods of 2025—each stands not only as a story of loss, but also as a turning point in Texas history. 
   
  Welcome to The Hidden History of Texas – Extreme Weather Events!

  Organizations have more data at their fingertips than ever, and their ability to put that data to productive use should be a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. Yet, business leaders looking to tap into a steady and manageable stream of "actionable insights" often, instead, get blasted with a deluge of dashboards, chart-filled slide decks, and opaque machine learning jargon that leaves them asking, "So what?" 
   
   
   
  Analytics the Right Way is a guide for these leaders. It provides a clear and practical approach to putting analytics to productive use with a three-part framework that brings together the realities of the modern business environment with the deep truths underpinning statistics, computer science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The result: a pragmatic and actionable guide for delivering clarity, order, and business impact to an organization's use of data and analytics. 
   
   
   
  The book uses real-world examples from the authors' direct experiences—working inside organizations, as external consultants, and as educators—to empower the listener to put foundational analytical and statistical concepts to effective use in a business context.

  Artificial intelligence has revolutionized industries by identifying patterns and making predictions from vast amounts of data. However, the true power of AI lies not just in recognizing correlations but in understanding causation—the fundamental "why" behind events and outcomes. 
  Causal Intelligence provides a comprehensive exploration of how causal inference principles can transform AI systems from mere pattern detectors into tools capable of reasoning, decision-making, and ethical intervention. Combining the rigor of causal theory with the practicalities of modern AI, this book bridges the gap between two evolving fields to unlock groundbreaking applications in healthcare, finance, public policy, and beyond. 
  Whether you’re a data scientist, AI practitioner, researcher, or curious technologist, this book will empower you to:Grasp the fundamental differences between correlation and causation.Understand key causal inference frameworks, including Pearl's Causal Hierarchy and Rubin's Causal Model.Discover techniques for identifying causal relationships in complex data.Learn how to integrate causal reasoning into machine learning and AI systems.Explore real-world applications and case studies where causality transforms outcomes.Address fairness and ethics in AI using a causal perspective. 
  Written in an accessible yet rigorous style, Causal Intelligence serves as a roadmap for the next generation of AI systems—ones that don’t just predict the future but understand it, shape it, and improve it. Dive into the emerging world of causal AI and discover how it’s poised to redefine data-driven decision-making for the better.

  This book consists of two titles: 
  1 - Chemical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that integrates principles from chemistry, physics, mathematics, and economics to tackle complex challenges across a diverse range of industries. At its core, chemical engineers focus on efficiently harnessing, transforming, and transporting chemicals, materials, and energy on a large scale. This involves not only designing and optimizing processes but also understanding the fundamental properties of substances and the underlying mechanisms governing their behavior. 
  One of the primary areas of focus for chemical engineers is process design and optimization. They develop innovative processes for the production of chemicals, fuels, pharmaceuticals, and materials, striving to maximize efficiency, minimize waste, and ensure safety. This often involves breaking down complex systems into manageable unit operations, such as distillation, reaction kinetics, heat transfer, and separation techniques, which are then studied and optimized individually to achieve specific goals within a larger process framework. 
  2 - Mechanical technology encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques and tools used in the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. This field merges principles from physics, engineering, and materials science to create and improve machinery and devices that perform specific functions.

  The Life Worth Living -...

  Joel Michael Reynolds

  More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy. 
   
   
   
  Joel Michael Reynolds argues that this history demonstrates a fundamental mischaracterization of the meaning of disability, thanks to the conflation of lived experiences of disability with those of pain and suffering. Building on decades of activism and scholarship in the field, Reynolds shows how longstanding views of disability are misguided and unjust, and he lays out a vision of what an anti-ableist moral future requires. 
   
   
   
  The Life Worth Living is the first sustained examination of disability through the lens of the history of moral philosophy and phenomenology, and it demonstrates how lived experiences of disability demand a far richer account of human flourishing, embodiment, community, and politics in philosophical inquiry and beyond.
