    Call of the Kingfisher is the enchanting debut from composer and wildlife recordist Nick Penny. This love letter to a short stretch of Northamptonshire's River Nene celebrates all the wild things that live there, especially the kingfishers. Nick has walked beside the river at Oundle for four decades. But for a whole year he gave the waterway all the time it asked for. The more attention he gave it, the more he saw the kingfishers and heard their high whistling calls. Set in a lovely but little-known part of England, Call of the Kingfisher relates a year by the river, the author's experiences there and the different people he meets. Other strands are woven around the elusive feathered protagonist: explorations of local history and landscape, from Roman and Bronze Age sites to watermills and centuries-old stone churches; visits at different times and to different places in the valley; homages to naturalists who lived nearby; forest dawns and dusks listening to the precious song of nightingales. But the background tapestry is the sights and sounds, and greens and browns, of the riverbank, shot through with the blue and orange threads of a kingfisher's glowing feathers.As a composer and wildlife recordist, Nick has a deep interest in sounds in the natural environment. He uses the local landscape and wildlife sounds as inspiration, and brings fresh insights into the sounds of the countryside. The book includes access to a number of high-quality birdsong recordings made alongside the River Nene - audio soundbites of nature's riches, from kingfishers and nightingales to owls and cuckoos. This is a book about the things that can be seen and heard when we approach nature with patience and curiosity. It celebrates people who have used that focus to help preserve wildlife and pass on their knowledge to future generations. Above all, Call of the Kingfisher serves as a call to appreciate what we've got, wherever we are, and to use our ears as much as our eyes when we experience the natural world.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    If your company issued you a Copilot+ PC and you're still using it like a regular laptop, this book was written for you. 
     
    Copilot+ PCs are built around a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of at least 40 TOPS of AI performance. Most users have never activated a single feature designed specifically for that hardware. This book changes that — in seven practical chapters. 
     
    What you'll learn: 
    - What Copilot+ PC certification actually means, and why "AI PC" isn't the same thing 
    - How NPU architecture differs from CPU and GPU, and why it matters for battery life 
    - Six exclusive features in depth: Recall, Cocreator, Live Captions, Windows Studio Effects, Image Creator, and Auto SR 
    - Third-party apps that leverage the NPU: DaVinci Resolve, Audacity + OpenVINO, Ollama, and VS Code local LLM 
    - Local AI vs Cloud AI: speed, quality, 5-year cost comparison, and privacy implications 
    - The May 2026 buying guide: CPU platform comparison, models by budget, and warranty information 
    - Seven ready-to-implement workflows for remote work, content creation, and developer privacy 
     
    This book is for you if you have a Copilot+ PC and want to use its AI features starting tomorrow, or you're evaluating whether one is worth buying in 2026. Up to date as of May 2026.

    Welcome to the world of project management in the age of AI. The revolution is here, and it's time to embrace it. As project managers, we are living in a world of constant change and disruption, and AI technology is transforming the way we work. We need to adapt, evolve, and embrace the opportunities that AI technology presents.    The potential of AI technology in project management is immense. It can help us to automate repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and deliver insights that were previously inaccessible. By leveraging AI technology, project managers can unlock new growth opportunities, increase profitability, and stay ahead of the competition.    However, the rise of AI technology also presents challenges for project managers. As project managers, we need to learn how to manage complex AI projects, collaborate with AI teams, and interpret AI-generated insights. We need to develop new skills, embrace new technologies, and adopt a growth mindset to succeed in the age of AI.    The challenge of managing AI projects requires project managers to learn new skills and approaches. For example, project managers need to understand how to manage projects with AI-driven analytics, such as machine learning algorithms, and how to integrate these insights into their project plans. Additionally, project managers need to be able to manage the complexity of AI projects, which often involve large amounts of data and multiple stakeholders.    To overcome these challenges, project managers need to adopt a growth mindset and embrace new technologies. This means being willing to learn new skills, experiment with new tools, and collaborate with AI teams. Project managers also need to be able to interpret AI-generated insights and incorporate them into their project plans effectively.    In this book, we explore the challenges facing project managers in the AI revolution and the specific needs project managers have to succeed in the age of AI. We provide strategies, tools, and resources for project managers to leverage AI technology to create value-based propositions and intellectual property.    We also share case studies and examples of successful AI projects, as well as stories of project managers overcoming challenges in the AI revolution. These examples illustrate the impact of AI technology on project management and provide lessons learned to help project managers understand how to apply these strategies and insights to their own projects.    Our goal is to help project managers unlock the full potential of AI technology and take their projects and organizations to the next level. We encourage the reader to reflect on their own skills and recognize the growth potential that AI technology presents. We want to inspire and motivate project managers to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the AI revolution.    So, are you ready to step into the unknown and embrace the growth potential of your company through AI-driven project management? Let's begin this journey together and unlock the power of AI technology.

AI makes decisions about what we should buy, watch, and read, and it won’t be long before AI’s in our hospitals, combing through our records. Maybe soon it will even be deciding who’s innocent, and who goes to jail . . .But most of us don’t understand how AI works. We hardly know what it is.In "Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us?", AI expert Kenneth Wenger deftly explains the complexity at AI’s heart, demonstrating its potential and exposing its shortfalls. Wenger empowers readers to answer the question—What exactly is AI?—at a time when its hold on tech, society, and our imagination is only getting stronger.
