Modern Time Series Forecasting with Python - Explore industry-ready time series forecasting using modern machine learning and deep learning

Manu Joseph

Sinossi

We live in a serendipitous era where the explosion in the quantum of data collected and a renewed interest in data-driven techniques such as machine learning (ML), has changed the landscape of analytics, and with it, time series forecasting. This book, filled with industry-tested tips and tricks, takes you beyond commonly used classical statistical methods such as ARIMA and introduces to you the latest techniques from the world of ML.
This is a comprehensive guide to analyzing, visualizing, and creating state-of-the-art forecasting systems, complete with common topics such as ML and deep learning (DL) as well as rarely touched-upon topics such as global forecasting models, cross-validation strategies, and forecast metrics. You’ll begin by exploring the basics of data handling, data visualization, and classical statistical methods before moving on to ML and DL models for time series forecasting. This book takes you on a hands-on journey in which you’ll develop state-of-the-art ML (linear regression to gradient-boosted trees) and DL (feed-forward neural networks, LSTMs, and transformers) models on a real-world dataset along with exploring practical topics such as interpretability.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build world-class time series forecasting systems and tackle problems in the real world.

Over the Seawall - Tsunamis...

Stephen Robert Miller

In March 2011, people in a coastal Japanese city stood atop a seawall watching the approach of the tsunami that would kill them. They believed—naively—that the huge concrete barrier would save them. Instead they perished, betrayed by the very thing built to protect them. Erratic weather, blistering drought, rising seas, and ecosystem collapse now affect every inch of the globe. Increasingly, we no longer look to stop climate change, choosing instead to adapt to it. 
 
 
 
Never have so many undertaken such a widespread, hurried attempt to remake the world. Predictably, our hubris has led to unintended—and sometimes disastrous—consequences. Academics call it maladaptation; in simple terms, it's about solutions that backfire. Over the Seawall tells us the stories behind these unintended consequences and the fixes that can do more harm than good. From seawalls in coastal Japan, to the reengineered waters in the Ganges River Delta, to the artificial ribbon of water supporting both farms and urban centers in parched Arizona, Stephen Robert Miller traces the histories of engineering marvels that were once deemed too smart and too big to fail. In each he takes us into the land and culture, seeking out locals and experts to better understand how complicated, grandiose schemes led instead to failure, and to find answers to the technologic holes we've dug ourselves into.

Homo Universalis The...

Marc Buckley

What does a world that works for everyone actually look like?
In a time of climate anxiety, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and growing division, more and more people feel that the systems shaping our lives no longer work for humanity or the living world. We are told to be more efficient, more productive, more sustainable. Yet the deeper question remains unanswered.
What comes after the old story of extraction, separation, and endless growth?
In the tradition of big idea books that challenge how we see humanity’s past and future, Homo Universalis offers a bold new vision for what comes next. Marc Buckley argues that the crises of our age are not separate problems. They are symptoms of a single civilizational mistake. We have built our world as if we are separate from life itself.
This book reframes that story.
Drawing from systems science, ecological economics, regenerative development, and decades of work with global leaders and institutions, Buckley shows how living systems thrive, through connection, cooperation, reciprocity, and regeneration. He introduces a new possibility for our time: Homo Universalis, the human who remembers that we are not outside nature, but participants within a living planetary system.
From this remembering comes what Buckley calls the Regenaissance, a regenerative renaissance in which food systems restore health and soil, economies create shared prosperity, cities support wellbeing, and technology aligns with life rather than undermining it.
If Sapiens helped readers understand how we got here, and Homo Deus asked where humanity might go, Homo Universalis asks the question that now matters most:
How do we create a civilization that works for everyone, and for life itself?
