  A Brief History of Timekeeping -...

  Predating written language and marching on through human history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. 
   
   
   
  Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the predictable oddities of quantum mechanics. 
   
    
   
  Along the way, Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.

  An offbeat guided tour of the Universe, focusing on weird and wonderful facts.
  
  Astrophysicist Dr Jillian Scudder knows more than most of us what a surreal place the Universe can be. In this light-hearted book she delves into some of the more arcane facts that her work has revealed, and tells us how we have actually managed to discover these amazing truths.
  
  Did you know: the galaxy is flatter than a sheet of paper; supermassive black holes can sing a super-low B flat; it rains iron on a brown dwarf, and diamonds on Neptune; you could grow turnips on Mars if its soil weren't full of rocket fuel; the Universe is beige, on average; Jupiter's magnetic field will short-circuit your spacecraft - and, of course, the Milky Way smells of rum and raspberries.

  Why choose between healthy, organic vegetables and saving money, when you can have both? And you can do it in just a few weeks! 
  People are constantly on the lookout for ways to feed themselves and their families with the right amounts of vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy. Sadly, this is becoming more and more expensive. 
  It costs around two dollars for one pound of tomatoes and more than double that if you want to go organic. 
  In comparison, for just five dollars, you can plant a whole pack of tomato seeds with each plant producing an average of 10 pounds. 
  Add to that the fewer trips to the grocery store and no plastic wrapping—you are onto a winner. 
  According to the National Gardening Association, the average gardener will spend only $70 a year on their garden but grow $600 worth of food. 
  On top of the savings, you get to enjoy freshly harvested vegetables from your garden, knowing that not a single chemical has been used. That’s health and savings in one fun activity! 
  Many will look at vegetable gardens and marvel at the time and skill it must have taken. In fact, all it has taken is knowledge and patience. 
  The patience is up to you, but the knowledge you need is right here at your future green fingertips. 
  In Avoid the Mistakes as a First Time Gardener Growing Vegetables, here is just a fraction of what you will discover: 
  A step-by-step guide to growing and harvesting over 50 easy-to-grow vegetables regardless of the size of your garden 
  Tests you can do at home to understand your soil quality and the methods to correct it...before making a mistake

  Companies today are moving rapidly to integrate generative AI into their products and services. But there's a great deal of hype (and misunderstanding) about the impact and promise of this technology. With this book, Chris Fregly, Antje Barth, and Shelbee Eigenbrode from AWS help CTOs, ML practitioners, application developers, business analysts, data engineers, and data scientists find practical ways to use this exciting new technology. 
   
   
   
  You'll learn the generative AI project life cycle including use case definition, model selection, model fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and model quantization, optimization, and deployment. And you'll explore different types of models including large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models such as Stable Diffusion for generating images and Flamingo/IDEFICS for answering questions about images. 
   
   
   
  You'll also discover how to apply generative AI to your business use cases; determine which generative AI models are best suited to your task; perform prompt engineering and in-context learning; fine-tune generative AI models on your datasets with low-rank adaptation (LoRA); align generative AI models to human values with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF); augment your model with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG); explore libraries such as LangChain and ReAct to develop agents and actions; and build generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock.
