Sinopsis

Imagine a 2,000-year-old mechanical device capable of predicting eclipses and charting planetary movements with surprising accuracy. Antikythera Mechanism explores the story of this ancient Greek technology, retrieved from a shipwreck in the Aegean Sea. This device challenges our understanding of ancient capabilities, revealing a level of mechanical complexity previously unimagined. Its discovery has profound implications for the history of science, suggesting that sophisticated mechanical computing isn't a modern invention. The book contextualizes the device's discovery within the history of scientific investigation and archaeology.

 
The book begins with the initial discovery and early attempts to understand the fragmented remains. It then delves into groundbreaking X-ray computed tomography findings, revealing the device's internal workings and function as an astronomical calculator. Significant attention is given to explaining its complex gear system and its connection to ancient Greek cosmology.

 
By synthesizing the latest scientific research with historical context, the book presents a comprehensive and accessible account of the Antikythera Mechanism for a broad audience interested in science and history.

    Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he became increasingly concerned about the impact of development, pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues are in the mainstream and have become a global priority.
    
    Although the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress. Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and, as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the artist.

    AI is transforming software development, shifting programmers from writing code to collaborating with AI in an intent-driven workflow. Vibe coding—a prompt-first, exploratory approach where you describe what you want in natural language and let a large language model fill in the blanks—represents a radical shift in the developer's role from writing code to directing it. However, vibe coding comes with a serious caveat: Like a high-speed exploratory vehicle, it can take you off the beaten path quickly. Beyond Vibe Coding: From Coder to AI-Era Developer explores how AI-powered coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex are reshaping the way we build software, from automating routine coding tasks to influencing architecture and design decisions. 
     
    Written by Addy Osmani, this guide provides developers, tech leads, and organizations with practical strategies to integrate AI into their workflows effectively. Learn how to formulate clear goals and constraints for the AI, review AI-generated code critically, and integrate those pieces into a coherent whole. Whether you're adopting AI tools today or preparing for the future of software engineering, this book offers insights and hands-on examples to keep your skills sharp in this evolving landscape.
