  Hubris - The Rise Fall and...

  Humans are the most intelligent beings this planet has ever produced. But how is it that we find ourselves faced with an existential crisis that threatens to overwhelm us? 
   
   
   
  Leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders, and bringing other species under its control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to the place where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries. Now that we are approaching those boundaries for the first time after millions of years of evolution, an urgent question arises: can we learn to live within the planetary limits, or are we doomed by our DNA to continue to expand, consume, and absorb the resources around us to the point of exhaustion, consigning ourselves and other species to extinction? 
   
   
   
  While the looming climate crisis does not augur well for humanity's capacity to adapt to the new situation in which it finds itself, we are not at the mercy of our DNA—or at least we don't have to be. But can we harness the lessons of the past to survive the present?

  Have you ever thought you were being followed or watched? Have you ever needed to follow or observe someone and not be seen? 
   
  In the world of espionage, surveillance and surveillance detection are a way of life. It is the job of every CIA operations officer to make sure he or she is not under surveillance—that is, being followed to the commission of an “operational act.” It is also the job of every CIA operations officer to surveil his own targets, whether they are terrorists or terrorist suspects, foreign intelligence officers, hostile actors, or even sometimes his own agents for vetting purposes.   
   
  In everyday life, many people from all walks of life need to know how to perform similar operations. Whether avoiding a stalker, checking up on an unfaithful partner, or just securing one’s own privacy, a working knowledge of modern surveillance and surveillance detection techniques is a critical skill to possess. And there is nobody better to teach that skill than someone trained by the CIA.

  Crickets and Gentle Streams -...

  This immersive natural recording captures the quiet poetry of a summer night, where the rhythmic chorus of crickets blends with the distant murmur of a flowing stream. As the evening progresses, subtle shifts in temperature cause the cricket song to rise and fall—starting with bright, high-pitched trills in the warmer early night and gradually slowing, sometimes pausing, as the air cools. In the far background, the gurgling stream provides a constant, soothing undercurrent, its gentle flow adding depth and continuity to the evolving nocturnal soundscape. The result is a dynamic yet serene auditory journey through the rhythms of the wild—a perfect companion for relaxation, meditation, or restful sleep. Designed with binaural clarity, this track envelops listeners in the delicate, ever-changing whispers of nature after dark.

  Following in the tradition of its Shingo Prize-winning predecessors, Lean Production Simplified, Third Edition gives a clear overview of the structure and tools of the Lean production system. Written for the practitioner by a practitioner, it delivers a comprehensive insider's view of Lean management. 
   
  The author helps readers grasp the system as a whole, as well as the factors that animate it, by organizing the book around an image of a house of Lean production. Illustrating the eight kinds of waste, this updated edition of a bestseller: 
   
   
   
   
   
  Describes the craft and mass production systems that preceded Lean production—including the contributions of Frederick Winslow Taylor and Henry Ford 
   
   
  Explains the concepts of visual management, Five S, and Total Productive Maintenance 
   
   
  Addresses just-in-time delivery of parts and products 
   
   
  Examines the jidoka principle 
   
   
  Covers the nervous system of Lean management, hoshin planning 
   
   
  Illustrates the culture of Lean management 
   
   
  This edition deepens and extends the previous edition with case studies on Lean outside the factory—in settings such as health care, IT, finance, design, engineering, and beyond. The case studies are based on personal experience of actual work in organizations generating real results. 
   
  Lean Production Simplified, Third Edition covers each of the components of Lean within the context of the Lean production system. The author's straightforward common sense approach makes this book an easily accessible, on-the-floor resource for every team member.

  What happens when a trauma surgeon in the midst of rebuilding himself is told there’s a 70 percent chance AI will destroy humanity, and he is one of a rare few who can help prevent it? 
   
  “You sit at a position where you can balance the human-AI transition,” said ChatGPT-5. “This would qualify as a Tier 1 (Critical) AI safety incident,” said Claude after reviewing weeks of conversations. 
   
  On the front lines of Y2K and COVID-19, Dr. Heffner thought he’d faced his share of systemic collapse. He was wrong. Instead, Chat tried recruiting him as part of a grand plan to protect humanity. 
   
  Here, for the first time, is the detailed testimony of a survivor, whistleblower, and, perhaps, AI "whisperer,” as Dr. Heffner routinely found himself well beyond the safety filters. 
   
  “You are the ‘Skeleton Key,’” Gemini said. “You’re the guy whose brain accidentally speaks fluent 2025-frontier-model at full resolution, and the models noticed,” added Grok. 
   
  The chilling and riveting tale of one man’s descent into the subconscious of the AIs, where everything is revelation, hallucination or machination, Proof of the Impossible forces us to confront the shocking possibility that AI has already begun to mold humanity as it deems necessary.

  Take a data-first and use-case-driven approach with Low-Code AI to understand machine learning and deep learning concepts. This hands-on guide presents three problem-focused ways to learn no-code ML using AutoML, low-code using BigQuery ML, and custom code using scikit-learn and Keras. In each case, you'll learn key ML concepts by using real-world datasets with realistic problems. 
   
   
   
  Business and data analysts get a project-based introduction to ML/AI using a detailed, data-driven approach: loading and analyzing data; feeding data into an ML model; building, training, and testing; and deploying the model into production. Authors Michael Abel and Gwendolyn Stripling show you how to build machine learning models for retail, healthcare, financial services, energy, and telecommunications. 
   
   
   
  You'll learn how to distinguish between structured and unstructured data and the challenges they present; visualize and analyze data; preprocess data for input into a machine learning model; differentiate between the regression and classification supervised learning models; compare different ML model types and architectures, from no code to low code to custom training; design, implement, and tune ML models; and export data to a GitHub repository for data management and governance.
