Synopsis

"Essential Guide to Astrophysics" is perfect for anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wondered about the universe. Written clearly and engagingly, it covers the basics of astrophysics, from the history of the field to cutting-edge research.
We start with telescopes and other tools astronomers use to study the universe, then dive into stars, their life cycles, how they produce energy, and what happens when they die. Galaxies are another major topic, including our Milky Way and other types found throughout the universe. The book explores the Big Bang theory, dark matter, dark energy, and the ultimate fate of the universe.
The search for life beyond Earth is also covered, including finding exoplanets and conditions necessary for life. We explore our solar system, including the Sun, planets, moons, and other objects. "Essential Guide to Astrophysics" tackles complex topics like black holes, gravitational waves, and the future of space exploration, with helpful appendices explaining any math or unfamiliar terms.
If you've ever been curious about the universe, "Essential Guide to Astrophysics" is a great place to start.

    The pressure to "be digital" has never been greater. 
     
     
      
    The digital revolution is here. It's changing how work gets done, how industries are structured, and how people from all walks of life work, behave and relate to each other. To thrive in a world driven by data and powered by algorithms, we must learn to see, think, and act in new ways. We need to develop a digital mindset. 
     
     
     
    But what does that mean? Some fear it means that in the near future we will all need to become technologists who master the intricacies of coding, algorithms, AI, machine learning, robotics, and who knows what's next. 
     
      
     
    This book introduces three approaches—Collaboration, Computation, Change—that you need for a digital mindset, and the perspectives and actions within each approach that will enable you to develop digital skills you need. With the digital mindset, you can ask the right questions, make smart decisions and appreciate new possibilities for a digital future. Leaders who adopt these approaches will be able to develop their organization's talent to prepare their company for successful and continued digital transformation. 
     
     
      
    The surprising and welcome secret is that developing a digital mindset isn't as hard as we think. Most people can become digitally savvy if they follow the "30% rule," or the minimum threshold that gives us just enough digital literacy to understand and take advantage of the digital fabric woven into our world.

    Traditional cold calling is becoming less and less effective every day because the way people prefer to communicate is rapidly changing. 
     
     
     
    Are you frustrated with the diminishing returns from traditional prospecting methods? Have you tried and failed to use social media and email to develop a consistent stream of quality leads? Do you have the sense that there should be a better calendar structure to your overall prospecting strategy, so that there's a clear, unfolding pattern of contact that turns leads into active business opportunities? 
     
     
     
    In Digital Prospecting, Mike Jones and Ken Guest offer a proven, battle-tested process for an integrated twenty-first-century prospecting system that leverages today's social technologies. The book outlines the most effective ways to prospect using email and social selling interactions as the initial point of contact with the prospect. The process it offers is not meant to replace cold calls. It's meant only to give you the tools you need to evaluate which method makes the most sense, given your unique situation. Digital Prospecting is a must-listen for front-line salespeople eager to bring their business development plan up to date . . . and for the executives who train, supervise, coach, and mentor them.

    The Digital Factory reveals the hidden human labor that supports today’s digital capitalism. 
      
    The workers of today’s digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labor. 
      
    The workers of today’s digital factory are not as far removed from a typical auto assembly line as we might think. Moritz Altenried takes us inside today’s digital factories, showing that they take very different forms, including gig economy platforms, video games, and Amazon warehouses. As Altenried shows, these digital factories often share surprising similarities with factories from the industrial age. As globalized capitalism and digital technology continue to transform labor around the world, Altenried offers a timely and poignant exploration of how these changes are restructuring the social division of labor and its geographies as well as the stratifications and lines of struggle.
