Summary

Apple vs Microsoft explores the decades-long competition between these two tech giants, examining their impact on the technology industry. From the early days of personal computing to the current landscape of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the book dissects the strategic decisions and innovations that have defined their rivalry. One intriguing aspect is how their contrasting approaches to operating systems—Apple's closed, integrated system versus Microsoft's open licensing model—shaped their trajectories. The book also highlights how this competition has fueled innovation, pushing both companies to adapt and anticipate future trends.

 
The book unfolds chronologically and thematically, starting with their origins and moving through key areas of competition like operating systems, hardware, and cloud computing. Each section analyzes product releases, strategic acquisitions, and market trends to illustrate the power dynamics.

    Before I Begin: A Manifesto on Humanity's Reckoning and the End of the World is not just another book about apocalypse. It is a bold philosophical and scientific exploration of the greatest threats humanity has ever faced—and the hidden patterns that link our past extinctions to the dangers of today. 
    From the cataclysmic asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs to the looming possibility of nuclear war, from supervolcanoes and gamma-ray bursts to engineered viruses and runaway artificial intelligence, this manifesto examines how fragile our existence truly is. But beyond the science of survival, it confronts the uncomfortable truth: that corruption, inequality, and the failures of the global system may be the gravest threats of all. 
    In powerful, provocative prose, Hatem Helmi weaves together history, philosophy, and cutting-edge science to reveal a vision of humanity standing on the edge of transformation. Will we collapse into chaos, or will we seize the chance to build a more just and resilient world? 
    For readers of Yuval Noah Harari, Stephen Hawking, and Jared Diamond, this book is both a warning and a manifesto—a call to awaken, to question, and to act before it is too late. 
    This is not the end. It is the beginning of a reckoning.

    Pregnancy isn’t just happening to her, it’s happening to both of you.
     
    For first-time dads, it can feel like standing on the sidelines of a game you don’t understand, holding snacks and anxiety in equal measure. The Pregnant Dad is here to change that. With warmth, humor, and honesty, this modern guide helps men step confidently into one of the most transformative roles of their lives, not just as a father-to-be but as a true partner.
     
    From the first ultrasound jitters to the long nights before birth, Calen Vale walks you through the emotional, practical, and often hilarious sides of pregnancy from a dad’s point of view. You’ll learn how to support her when she’s tired, what to actually say during mood swings (and what not to), how to prepare for labor without panicking, and how to keep your sense of self while your world turns upside down.
     
    This isn’t a manual, it’s a survival guide with heart. A mix of real talk, relatable humor, and genuine insight that helps you grow alongside the woman you love and the life you’ve created together.
     
    Inside, you’ll discover:
     
    What she really needs from you at every stage (hint: it’s not just foot rubs)
     
    How to manage your stress while being her rock
     
    How to prepare for delivery day without feeling helpless
     
    What to expect emotionally when you finally become Dad
     
    How to balance love, partnership, and the chaos of new fatherhood
     
    Whether you’re terrified, excited, or both, The Pregnant Dad reminds you that you’re not alone and that fatherhood starts long before the baby arrives.

    Discover the Lost Secrets of the Ancients and the Time When Stones Floated High over Egypt   Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly by sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn't take away the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans or of equally ancient extraterrestrials?How Antigravity Built the Pyramids delves into specific stories and theories:• A 9th-century story of a mysterious papyrus with the power to move large stones at the Giza Necropolis • The Mayan story of the construction of the Pyramid of the Magician said to be overseen by a small humanoid who could whistle large stones into place • Native American stories of ancient priests being able to make stones light to move easily    Author Nick Redfern argues it was not literally music and whistling that somehow raised large stones, but both have one thing in common: sound. Acoustics. Almost certainly, acoustic levitation was at the heart of these incredible feats. The truth of the science behind acoustic levitation was lost and forgotten for ages with little more left than fanciful tales of music, whistles, a curious papyrus, and strange metal rods that could achieve incredible feats in the air. Today, we are finally starting to get a grasp on this incredible technology, a technology that may have been the work of ancient humans, aliens from faraway worlds—or, perhaps, a combination of the two.

    Quick Fixes - Drugs in America...

    Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here? 
     
     
     
    Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America's passionate love and intense hatred for drugs has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century. 
     
     
     
    Through nine chapters, each devoted to the modern history of a drug or class of drugs, Fong examines Americans' fraught relationship with psychoactive substances. As society changes it produces different forms of stress, isolation, and alienation. These changes, in turn, shape the sorts of drugs society chooses. 
     
     
     
    By laying out the histories, functions, and experiences of our chemical comforts, the hope is to help answer that ever perplexing question: what does it mean to be an American?

    It is a perceptive and thorough introduction to the challenging but intriguing fields of artificial intelligence, data science, and machine learning. This book, written with depth and clarity, is a vital tool for anyone trying to comprehend and use these revolutionary technologies. 
    The first part of the book establishes a solid foundation in machine learning principles. Essential concepts like algorithms, data pretreatment, and model evaluation are presented to readers; each is carefully described to guarantee that they understand the fundamentals. Because of the writers' systematic and approachable style, even individuals who are unfamiliar with the subject may understand complex subjects. 
    The focus on real-world applications in "Machine Learning Unraveled" is one of its best qualities. The book shows how machine learning and data science are used in practical situations with thorough case studies and examples from a variety of sectors. The writers successfully close the knowledge gap between theory and reality, whether they are talking about recommendation systems in retail, autonomous cars in transportation, or predictive analytics in healthcare. This practical approach not only improves understanding but also highlights the real-world advantages and effects of these technologies. 
    The important societal and ethical questions raised by AI and machine learning are also covered in the book. In a time when worries about algorithmic bias, data privacy, and job displacement are growing, the writers offer a fair and impartial analysis of the appropriate and responsible application of these technologies. They support placing ethical issues front and center in technical development so that innovations serve society as a whole.
