  A revitalizing new perspective on Earthcare from Pulitzer Prize finalist William deBuys.In 2016 and 2018 acclaimed author and conservationist William deBuys joined extended medical expeditions into Upper Dolpo, a remote, ethnically Tibetan region of northwestern Nepal, to provide basic medical services to the residents of the region. Having written about climate change and species extinction, deBuys went on those journeys seeking solace. He needed to find a constructive way of living with the discouraging implications of what he had learned about the diminishing chances of reversing the damage humans have done to Earth; he sought a way of holding onto hope in the face of devastating loss. As deBuys describes these journeys through one of Earth's remotest regions, his writing celebrates the land's staggering natural beauty, and treats his listeners to deep dives into two scientific discoveries—the theories of natural selection and plate tectonics—that forever changed human understanding of our planet. Written in a vivid and nuanced style evocative of John McPhee or Peter Matthiessen, The Trail to Kanjiroba offers a surprising and revitalizing new way to think about Earthcare, one that may enable us to continue the difficult work that lies ahead.

  What is time?This deceptively simple question is the single most important problem facing science as we probe more deeply into the fundamentals of the universe. All of the mysteries physicists and cosmologists face-from the Big Bang to the future of the universe, from the puzzles of quantum physics to the unification of forces and particles-come down to the nature of time.The fact that time is real may seem obvious. You experience it passing every day when you watch clocks tick, bread toast, and children grow. But most physicists, from Newton to Einstein to today's quantum theorists, have seen things differently. The scientific case for time being an illusion is formidable. That is why the consequences of adopting the view that time is real are revolutionary.Lee Smolin, author of the controversial bestseller The Trouble with Physics, argues that a limited notion of time is holding physics back. It's time for a major revolution in scientific thought. The reality of time could be the key to the next big breakthrough in theoretical physics.What if the laws of physics themselves were not timeless? What if they could evolve? Time Reborn offers a radical new approach to cosmology that embraces the reality of time and opens up a whole new universe of possibilities. There are few ideas that, like our notion of time, shape our thinking about literally everything, with huge implications for physics and beyond-from climate change to the economic crisis. Smolin explains in lively and lucid prose how the true nature of time impacts our world.

  Welcome to "Fundamentals of Machine Learning"! This comprehensive guide is designed to provide an introduction to the fascinating world of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Whether you're a seasoned programmer or just starting out, this book will take you on a journey through the fundamentals of these technologies and their applications in various industries. 
  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a buzzword for years, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, AI refers to any software that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation. Machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on developing algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. 
  This book will cover the following topics: 
  * Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 
  * Differences Between Classical Programming and Artificial Intelligence 
  * Machine Learning Models and their Types (Supervised, Unsupervised, and Reinforcement Learning) 
  * Deep Learning Techniques and Large Language Models (LLMs) 
  * Applications of Machine Learning in various industries such as Healthcare, Finance, Marketing, and more. 
  By the end of this book, you will have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of machine learning and artificial intelligence, and how they can be applied to real-world scenarios. Whether you're looking to start a career in this field or simply want to learn more about it, this book is an excellent starting point for your journey. So, let's get started!

  The Museum of the Wood Age

  A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history.As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.
