Summary

"Cloud Movements" explores the fascinating science behind the ethereal dance of clouds, revealing the interplay between wind and atmospheric pressure. It highlights how these forces dictate cloud formation, trajectory, and evolution, offering key insights into weather patterns and climate change.

 
Did you know that cloud movements, driven by wind and pressure, are not random but are a tangible manifestation of complex atmospheric dynamics? Understanding these dynamics allows for more accurate weather prediction and a richer comprehension of our dynamic earth.

 
The book begins by establishing the fundamental principles of atmospheric science, then progresses to detailing the formation of different cloud types and their relationships with specific pressure systems. It examines how wind generation, from thermal differences to orographic lift, interacts with cloud formations; in addition to the role of high- and low-pressure systems in shaping air currents and influencing cloud stability.

 
The knowledge gained is not purely academic; it has real-world applications in weather prediction and understanding environmental changes. This book offers a unique perspective on a natural phenomenon often taken for granted. It blends scientific principles with accessible explanations, making it a valuable resource for weather enthusiasts, environmental scientists, and anyone curious about the atmosphere.

 
The study of cloud movements connects to broader fields like environmental science, climate science, and geography, emphasizing the interconnectedness of atmospheric processes and encouraging readers to become more informed observers of their surroundings.

    Sand is the hidden foundation of our society. In Sand Stories, Kiran Pereira maps out why it is the most consumed commodity on the planet after water. The book examines the impacts of our seemingly insatiable demand for sand on people, wildlife and our ecosystems. 
The concern is that sand is a non-renewable resource in human timescales and not every kind of sand is useful to industry. The good news is that there are solutions to this alarming global problem, including those that foster a circular economy.

    Take a data-first and use-case-driven approach with Low-Code AI to understand machine learning and deep learning concepts. This hands-on guide presents three problem-focused ways to learn no-code ML using AutoML, low-code using BigQuery ML, and custom code using scikit-learn and Keras. In each case, you'll learn key ML concepts by using real-world datasets with realistic problems. 
 
 
 
Business and data analysts get a project-based introduction to ML/AI using a detailed, data-driven approach: loading and analyzing data; feeding data into an ML model; building, training, and testing; and deploying the model into production. Authors Michael Abel and Gwendolyn Stripling show you how to build machine learning models for retail, healthcare, financial services, energy, and telecommunications. 
 
 
 
You'll learn how to distinguish between structured and unstructured data and the challenges they present; visualize and analyze data; preprocess data for input into a machine learning model; differentiate between the regression and classification supervised learning models; compare different ML model types and architectures, from no code to low code to custom training; design, implement, and tune ML models; and export data to a GitHub repository for data management and governance.

    Vaclav Smil

    The world is never finished catching up with Vaclav Smil. In his latest and perhaps most readable book, Invention and Innovation, the prolific author—a favorite of Bill Gates—pens an insightful and fact-filled jaunt through the history of invention.  
 
Impatient with the hype that so often accompanies innovation, Smil offers in this book a clear-eyed corrective to the overpromises of new inventions—from cures for diseases to AI. He reminds us that even after we go quite far along the invention-development-application trajectory, we  
may never get anything real to deploy. Or worse, even after we have succeeded by introducing an invention, its future may be marked by underperformance, disappointment, demise, or outright harm. 
 
Drawing on his vast breadth of scientific and historical knowledge, Smil explains the difference between invention and innovation, and looks not only at inventions that failed to dominate as promised (such as the airship, nuclear fission, and supersonic flight) but also at those that turned  
disastrous (leaded gasoline, DDT, and chlorofluorocarbons). And finally, he offers a “wish list” of inventions that we most urgently need to confront the staggering challenges of the twenty-first century. 
 
Filled with engaging examples and pragmatic approaches, this book is a sobering account of the folly that so often attends human ingenuity—and how we can, and must, better align our expectations with reality.
