  Learn how to think like a physicist from a Nobel laureate and "one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century" (New York Review of Books) with these six classic and beloved lessons    It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics around the world. Six Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, represent the most accessible material from the series.     In these classic lessons, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics. With his dazzling and inimitable wit, Feynman presents each discussion with a minimum of jargon. Filled with wonderful examples, Six Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of modern times.    "If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces."- John Gribbin, New Scientist

  In Galaxies, Or Graur offers a brief and fascinating overview of the history, physics, and astrophysical uses of galaxies. Starting with the history of the last two thousand years of galaxy studies, Graur discusses the types of galaxies we observe and the physics that drive them; the myths and physical structure of the Milky Way; how galaxies were used to discover and study the mysterious phenomena of dark matter and dark energy; and how scientists think galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang and evolved to their present forms. 
   
   
   
  Tracing galaxy studies back thousands of years ago to their beginnings, Graur describes their origin in Ptolemy's book Almagest, which was written in the first century CE. Almagest catalogued hundreds of stars and a few hazy cloud-like objects, one of which was the Andromeda galaxy. The listener will also encounter in this book well-known figures such as William Herschel, who, along with his sister Caroline, discovered hundreds of galaxies and lay the foundations for modern galaxy studies, as well as lesser-known astronomers, including tenth-century Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi. Galaxies concludes by showing listeners how they can get involved in galaxy studies themselves and do their part to fight the light pollution that today obscures the Milky Way and all but the brightest of stars.

  DesignedUp is a practical, inspiring guide for modern designers working at the intersection of technology, consultancy, and agency life. It’s written for practitioners who choose to plot their own path across complex organisations, balancing competing priorities while striving to make meaningful impact. 
   
  Praised by John Maeda, VP of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft, as a refreshing antidote to career stagnation, and by Jeff Gotthelf, author of Lean UX and Sense & Respond, as a roadmap to redesigning how organisations work, DesignedUp tackles a challenge many designers know well: being undervalued, misunderstood or sidelined in tech-led environments. 
   
  When design is treated as a “nice extra” rather than a strategic driver, influence is lost. DesignedUp shows you how to change that. 
   
  Drawing on frameworks, methods, and real-world stories from global technology and design leaders, including Rebecca Parsons at Thoughtworks, Andreas Markdalen at frog, Lauren Pleydell-Pearce at PwC UK, and Andy Polaine, formerly of Fjord, this book shows you how to: 
   
  Harness your strengths 
  Speak the language of business and technology 
  Influence engineers, stakeholders, and executives 
  Make compelling design arguments that resonate 
  Turn leaders into design champions 
   
  DesignedUp helps you move from the margins to the centre, so design doesn’t just get a seat at the table, it reshapes it!

  "Machine Learning” In this captivating exploration, you'll traverse the ever-expanding realm of artificial intelligence and machine learning, guided by a comprehensive and insightful narrative. 
  From its origins in the visionary minds of early computer scientists to its current status as a driving force behind technological innovation, machine learning's evolution is vividly brought to life. Delve into the heart of supervised learning algorithms, where linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, support vector machines, and neural networks form the bedrock of predictive analytics. 
  Venturing deeper, the book unravels the mysteries of unsupervised learning, illuminating clustering techniques, dimensionality reduction, and the crucial task of anomaly detection. With clarity and precision, it demystifies the captivating world of reinforcement learning, painting a vivid picture of agents learning to navigate and excel within complex environments. 
  The journey wouldn't be complete without the profound influence of deep learning and neural networks. Traverse the landscapes of multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and generative adversarial networks, witnessing the power of AI to understand and create. 
  However, the book doesn't shy away from critical considerations. Ethical and responsible AI practices take center stage, addressing bias, fairness, explainability, and data privacy to ensure that machine learning remains a force for good. Practical wisdom awaits too, as the reader is led through a comprehensive machine learning workflow – from data collection to model deployment. 
  As the final chapters unfold, the horizon broadens to reveal the future frontiers of machine learning. Quantum machine learning and federated learning beckon as game-changers, and applications across domains like healthcare, finance, and more stand poised to revolutionize the world as we know it.

  You see them every day on the wires and the bins, and you have started to wonder whether the crow on your street actually knows who you are. It does. It may also be holding a grudge.
  
  This audiobook opens each short chapter inside a living scene, a crow dropping walnuts on a Tokyo crossing, a pair of ravens sledding down a snowbank, then delivers one documented wow-behaviour from the science of crow intelligence. You will hear how crows recognise individual human faces for years, how New Caledonian crows craft hooked tools, why crows gather around their dead, how nutcrackers relocate thousands of buried seeds, and how ravens plan for tomorrow and bring gifts to the people who feed them.
  
  By the last chapter, the black birds on your block stop being background and become neighbours with memories, plans and opinions about you. Press play, and go meet the wild mind that lives nearest to your own.
