  The care of creation is the responsibility of all Christians. 
    
  Join Sequola Dawson in her insightful exploration of death rituals as she examines funerals, memorials, and burial practices, urging us to take ownership and recognize the vital interdependence between humanity, the earth, and all living organisms, advocating for a more ecologically responsible approach to caring for creation. 
    
  The Green Funeral introduces readers to evolving attitudes toward death, the death care industry, and our faith. Dawson not only delves into burial traditions within the African American community but outlines innovative practices suited for a new generation of multicultural churchgoers and those who do not identify with any religious tradition. 
    
  Dawson sheds light on the often-ignored economics behind the funeral industry, challenging us to consider the implications of "putting money in the ground." Many of us are unprepared for the death of a loved one, leaving us to ponder who bears the burden of caring for the deceased. With thousands of dollars spent on burials, Dawson argues for a more responsible approach—one that acknowledges the environmental impact of traditional practices and seeks to honor our loved ones without compromising the land they leave behind. 
    
  Dawson's unique perspective on death stems from her experiences in academia, the military, family life, and engineering, as well as her journey as a cancer survivor. She artfully weaves together the languages of all these worlds collectively raising a voice for better creation care—even in death. 
    
  "In The Green Funeral: Honoring the Environment While Beautifying Funeral Practices, Rev. Sequola Dawson speaks to the black church, but invites us all to contemplate our last impact on God's good earth. Let us all prayerfully consider returning to the dust from which we came as nourishment to the sacred land."—Rev. Carol L. Devine, Director of Blessed Tomorrow

  Even beginners using the Python programming language can be a part of machine learning, and that is what this book is for. Today, the only limit to machine learning is your imagination. In this book, I provide you with an overview of machine learning and some practical work to get your hands dirty. 
  Here’s what you will learn: 
  ·      Important machine learning concepts and applications 
  ·      The difference between supervised and unsupervised learning 
  ·      Commonly used supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms and models 
  ·      What libraries you will benefit from using 
  ·      How to visualize your data 
  ·      Regression and classification learning models 
  ·      An introduction to data science 
  ·      The five-step plan to becoming a data scientist 
  ·      Ten things that everyone needs to know about machine learning 
  You’ll even get a complete hands-on project that takes you through building your own machine learning project. 
  What you won't get is a lesson on using Python programming language; this book requires that you already know the basics.

  The Alien Perspective - A New...

  A journey through the evolving cosmos, considering how human survival will depend on otherworldly perspectives. 
   
  In David Whitehouse's most ambitious book to date he explores how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves. 
   
  Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051. 
   
  Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time, and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.
