    “[The authors] argue that with more integration and cooperation between businesses, governments and communities, a more sustainable economy is possible.” —The Environmental Magazine 
     
    We find ourselves between a rock and a hot place—compelled by the intertwined forces of peak oil and climate change to reinvent our economic life at a much more local and regional scale. The Resilience Imperative argues for a major SEE (social, ecological, economic) change as a prerequisite for replacing the paradigm of limitless economic growth with a more decentralized, cooperative, steady-state economy. 
     
    The authors present a comprehensive series of strategic questions within the broad areas of:Energy sufficiencyLocal food systemsInterest-free financingAffordable housing and land reformSustainable community development 
     
    Each section is complemented by case studies of pioneering community initiatives rounded out by a discussion of transition factors and resilience reflections. 
     
    With a focus on securing and sustaining change, this provocative book challenges deeply embedded cultural assumptions. Profoundly hopeful and inspiring, The Resilience Imperative affirms the possibilities of positive change as it is shaped by individuals, communities, and institutions learning to live within our ecological limits. 
     
    “Resilience is the watchword for our dawning era of economic and environmental instability . . . The Resilience Imperative is exactly what’s needed to get us moving in the right direction.” —Richard Heinberg, author of Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival 
     
    “Exceptionally valuable—in vision, in strategic understanding, in concrete ways to build forward. A handbook for a morally meaningful and sustainable future!” —Gar Alperovitz, author of America Beyond Capitalism

    Are you interested in machine learning? Do you want to know how it all works and what it involves? Then you've chosen the right guide. 
    Machine learning is a subset of computer science and Artificial Intelligence. There's no getting away from the fact that it is here to stay, and it is already changing how many businesses work and target their customers. It's a complex subject, but this guide will give you a concise overview of the steps required in every machine learning project. 
    Here's what you will learn: 
    ·     How to install Python on Windows and Mac 
    ·     A short look at the common Python machine learning libraries and packages 
    ·     How to collect data for a machine learning project 
    ·     How to prepare the data 
    ·     How to choose the right machine learning model 
    ·     How to train your model 
    ·     How to evaluate your model 
    ·     What parameter tuning involves 
    ·     How to make predictions using your trained model 
    Then you'll get a walkthrough on how to implement all those steps, with some code examples. 
    What you won't get is a guide on how to use Python. It is expected that you will have some knowledge of this popular programming language before you start or will want to learn it when you have read the guide.

    In the heart of the Congo is rumored to live a dinosaur called Mokele-Mbembe, or the god-beast. A handful of scientific expeditions have searched for it over the years with little success, but Nugent relied less on science than a desire to document the obscure. He made his way by dugout canoe and foot to Lake Tele, reputed home of the brontosaurus-like creature. It’s an environment little changed since the age of dinosaurs and he spent weeks paddling and trekking the area. He finally spotted a periscope-shaped object moving through the water. But when he tried to get closer, his guides threatened to shoot him, explaining that the “the god can approach man, but man never approaches the god.” Nugent’s photographs have been reprinted hundreds of times by those who believe in the god-beast. Drums Along the Congo merited inclusion on “Best 50 Books of the Year” list compiled by every major US newspaper.
