  Einstein's Theory of Relativity...

  The Research Room

  You finished the quantum book, and now everyone keeps mentioning the other half of modern physics. Every time you look up relativity, the page fills with equations or talks to you like a child.
  
  This tour takes a different route. From the first chapter you ride a single beam of light, and it stays with you while each chapter answers one question you have actually wondered about, such as why nothing can outrun light or why a moving clock ticks slower. You will hear why gravity behaves like a dent in a trampoline rather than a pull, and why your phone's GPS would drift kilometres a day if engineers ignored Einstein. The black hole chapter tells you what really happens at the edge. Every big number gets an everyday comparison, and the narrator says plainly where physicists still argue.
  
  Each chapter fits a commute, so you can listen in any order and never lose the thread. Press play, and by the time you arrive you will understand why time itself is personal.

  In the world of data warehousing, the accuracy and performance of models are crucial for effective data analysis and decision-making. "Model Evaluation" is a comprehensive book that provides a detailed overview of the evaluation process for data warehouse models. From understanding the basics of data warehousing to evaluating the performance of different types of models, this book covers the key concepts, techniques, and best practices for evaluating the accuracy and performance of data warehouse models. 
  The book begins with an introduction to data warehousing and its importance in modern organizations. It then delves into the various types of data warehouse models, including relational, dimensional, and multi-dimensional models, and their unique features and use cases. The book explores the challenges and considerations in evaluating the performance and accuracy of these different types of models, including data quality, data completeness, data consistency, and data timeliness. 
  "Model Evaluation" provides a comprehensive overview of the different evaluation techniques and methodologies used in data warehousing, such as benchmarking, performance metrics, data profiling, and data validation. It covers the best practices for evaluating the accuracy of data warehouse models, including data validation and verification techniques, data profiling and cleansing methods, and statistical analysis. 
  The book also discusses the importance of metadata in the evaluation process and how it can provide context and understanding of the data in the data warehouse. It covers topics such as data definitions, data models, data sources, and data transformations, and how they can impact the accuracy and performance of the data warehouse models.

  'Refreshingly clear-eyed … Faking It is an insightful and intelligent book that's a must for those looking for facts about AI hype.' – Books+Publishing
  'AI will be as big a game-changer as the smart phone and the personal computer – or bigger! This book will help you navigate the revolution.' – Dr Karl Kruszelnicki
  Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We've been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question 'Can machines think?' by proposing that machines pretend to be humans.
  Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated. In reality, they lack true understanding, sentience and common sense. But this doesn't mean they can't change the world.
  Can AI systems ever be creative? Can they be moral? What can we do to ensure they are not harmful? In this fun and fascinating book, Professor Toby Walsh explores all the ways AI fakes it, and what this means for humanity – now and in the future.

  I built my life on work, motorcycles and showing up, until my body refused to cooperate. from dusty paddocks in NSW to epic outback roads, from love and fatherhood to heartbreak and loss, this is a story of a life tested at every turn. It's not about heroics. It's about falling, getting back up and finding sparks of joy in chaos.

  Olympic Titanic Britannic - The...

  The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
   
   
   
  The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
   
   
   
  This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.
