  Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
   
   
   
  Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
   
   
   
  A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.

  Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that empowers systems to learn from data and make decisions or predictions without being explicitly programmed. It represents a major shift from traditional rule-based programming to systems that adapt and improve over time. This comprehensive guide delves into the theoretical foundations, types, algorithms, tools, applications, challenges, and the future of Machine Learning. It covers supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning in detail, explains key techniques such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning, and explores real-world applications across domains like healthcare, finance, security, and robotics. Ethical concerns, bias in AI, explainability, and interpretability are also discussed, offering a well-rounded understanding of the state and direction of Machine Learning.

  With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award-winning designer, entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason, political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take listeners beyond "design thinking" to challenge current habits and carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. 
   
   
   
  From transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care, to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking across six key areas—time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and sectors—can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of current problems around the globe. 
   
    
   
  With powerful real-world examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics, humanity, and the environment. 
   
   
   
  Expand is the first book to not just critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it. 
   
   
   
  The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the book that shows us how.
