  Nature's Wild Ideas - How the...

  When astronomers wanted a telescope that could capture X-rays from celestial bodies, they looked to the lobster. When doctors wanted a medication that could stabilize Type II diabetic patients, they found their muse in a lizard. When scientists wanted to drastically reduce emissions in cement manufacturing, they observed how corals construct their skeletons in the sea. This is biomimicry in action: taking inspiration from nature to tackle human challenges. 
   
   
   
  In Nature's Wild Ideas, Kristy Hamilton goes behind the scenes of some of our most unexpected innovations. She traverses frozen waterfalls, treks through cloudy forests, discovers nests in the Mojave desert, scours intertidal zones, and takes us to the deepest oceans and near volcanoes to introduce us to the animals and plants that have inspired everything from cargo routing systems to non-toxic glues, and the men and women who followed that first spark of "I wonder" all the way to its conclusion, sometimes against all odds. 
   
   
   
  While the joy of scientific discovery is front and center, Nature's Wild Ideas is also a love letter to nature—complete with a deep message of conservation: If we are to continue learning from the creatures around us, we must protect their untamed homelands.

  In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime. Slack also explores issues such as the role of genetic heritability and IQ as well as the changes that occur in the genes of populations during evolution. 
   
   
   
  An ideal guide for anyone curious about what genes are and how genetics can be put to use, this Very Short Introduction demonstrates the ways in which the gene concept has been understood and used by molecular biologists, population biologists, and social scientists around the world.

  What if artificial intelligence stopped feeling like a black box you're simply supposed to trust?
   
  You're told AI will reshape your career, yet nobody hands you a clear picture of how it actually works or what it means for you. So you nod along in meetings, half-guessing, quietly hoping the technology doesn't leave you behind.
   
  That not-quite-knowing wears on you. It's hard to make confident choices about your skills or your next move when the force driving all the change stays a mystery.
   
  This two-in-one collection carries you from the fundamentals to the real-world impact, with no technical background required. Here, at last, is artificial intelligence explained in plain language. In this audiobook, you'll discover:
  
  The three types of AI - what narrow, general, and super intelligence really mean once you strip away the buzzwords.
  How machines actually learn - why an everyday spam filter reveals the whole logic behind machine learning.
  The main training methods - supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning, plus classification, regression, and adversarial training.
  How deep learning works - the neural networks that power it, and why there are so many different kinds.
  The tools behind the tech - the programming languages, bots, and platforms like TensorFlow that make AI run.
  Where AI already lives in your day - from email and social media to maps and smart personal assistants.
  How major companies deploy it - the way AI reshapes marketing, finance, and customer service.
  What stays uniquely human - the skills to double down on as the machines advance.
  
   
  You'll learn from clear, grounded explanations, including insight from computer scientist Melanie Mitchell, creator of the analogy-making program Copycat.
   
  You don't need a degree or a background in coding to follow a word of it. Understand how the technology works, and it stops being something that happens to you and becomes something you can use.

  Talking with Bears -...

  "Extraordinary . . . [this] series of true stories about the authentic nature of bears reveals them as the sensitive and intelligent beings they are." ―Carl Safina, New York Times–bestselling author of Becoming Wild and Beyond Words
  Grizzly bears have long been feared as unpredictable and dangerous. But one man, Charlie Russell, was key in breaking down the myths and helping save these magnificent beings from extinction. A naturalist who spent over seventy years living harmoniously among bears in North America and Russia, Russell forged deep friendships with wild grizzlies, raised and reintroduced ten orphaned cubs in the Kamchatkan wilderness, and nannied the young of a wild female grizzly for seven years.
  In Talking with Bears, filled with stunning photography, author G. A. Bradshaw chronicles her decade-long work with Russell, exploring his philosophy of Nature and remarkable insights and relationship with bears. By weaving together Russell's experiences and scientific understanding from neuroscience and quantum physics, Bradshaw reveals how we all can learn to thrive in intimate, respectful coexistence with Nature.
  "Figuring out how to share the planet with other big and powerful mammals seems one of the crucial tests for human beings in the time ahead. Charlie Russell had some serious insights about how this might be possible." ―Bill McKibben, New York Times–bestselling author of Falter
  "At a time of climate crisis and environmental emergency, when the flaws in our relationship with nature now clearly threaten our very existence, this book is a must-read." ―Kevin Van Tighem, author of Bears Without Fear
  "[A] beautiful, unique account of two powerful minds . . . coming to grips with an equally powerful one embodied in the great brown and black bears of the Pacific Northwest and of the Russian Far East." ―Jeffrey Masson, author of The Secret World of Farm Animals and When Elephants Weep
  "One can't help but come away from reading Talking With Bears feeling inspired and rejuvenated." ―John E. Marriott, wildlife photographer and coauthor of What Bears Teach Us

  times, so here’s a friendly reminder to mute the microphones on your other 
  Alexa devices before you press play.
