Summary

This book aims to teach the skills necessary to build iOS 18 applications using SwiftUI, Xcode 16, and the Swift programming language.
 
Beginning with the basics, this book outlines the steps to set up an iOS development environment, together with an introduction to using Swift Playgrounds to learn and experiment with Swift.
 
The book also includes in-depth chapters introducing the Swift programming language, including data types, control flow, functions, object-oriented programming, property wrappers, structured concurrency, and error handling.
 
A guided tour of Xcode in SwiftUI development mode follows an introduction to the key concepts of SwiftUI and project architecture. The book also covers creating custom SwiftUI views and explains how these views are combined to create user interface layouts, including stacks, frames, and forms.
 
Other topics covered include data handling using state properties and observable, state, and environment objects, as are key user interface design concepts such as modifiers, lists, tabbed views, context menus, user interface navigation, and outline groups.
 
The book also includes chapters covering graphics and chart drawing, user interface animation, view transitions and gesture handling, WidgetKit, Live Activities, document-based apps, Core Data, SwiftData, and CloudKit.
 
Chapters also explain how to integrate SwiftUI views into existing UIKit-based projects and integrate UIKit code into SwiftUI.
 
Finally, the book explains how to package up a completed app and upload it to the App Store for publication.
 
Along the way, the topics covered in the book are put into practice through detailed tutorials, the source code for which is also available for download, and over 50 online knowledge test quizzes.
 
The aim of this book, therefore, is to teach you the skills to build your own apps for iOS 18 using SwiftUI. Assuming you are ready to download the iOS 18 SDK and Xcode 16 and have an Apple Mac system, you are ready to get started.
Available since: 09/16/2024.

    The water is rising — and it’s not just the coasts that are changing. Entire nations are sinking, rivers are shifting course, and millions are already on the move. But amid the devastation, extraordinary stories of resilience are emerging. 
    After the Flood takes readers to the front lines of the planet’s most pressing crisis: the global struggle to live with water in an era of unstoppable change. From the engineers building floating cities in the Netherlands to the farmers in Bangladesh reinventing agriculture on flooded land, and the Pacific Islanders fighting to preserve their homelands from beneath the waves — this is a story of ingenuity, defiance, and hope. 
    Blending investigative reporting with deeply human storytelling, Alex Southwick reveals how rising seas are not only redrawing maps, but reshaping what it means to belong, to adapt, and to survive. 
    After the Flood is a haunting and inspiring portrait of a world transformed by water — and the people determined to rise with it.

    What does a world that works for everyone actually look like?  
    In a time of climate anxiety, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and growing division, more and more people feel that the systems shaping our lives no longer work for humanity or the living world. We are told to be more efficient, more productive, more sustainable. Yet the deeper question remains unanswered.  
    What comes after the old story of extraction, separation, and endless growth?  
    In the tradition of big idea books that challenge how we see humanity’s past and future, Homo Universalis offers a bold new vision for what comes next. Marc Buckley argues that the crises of our age are not separate problems. They are symptoms of a single civilizational mistake. We have built our world as if we are separate from life itself.  
    This book reframes that story.  
    Drawing from systems science, ecological economics, regenerative development, and decades of work with global leaders and institutions, Buckley shows how living systems thrive, through connection, cooperation, reciprocity, and regeneration. He introduces a new possibility for our time: Homo Universalis, the human who remembers that we are not outside nature, but participants within a living planetary system.  
    From this remembering comes what Buckley calls the Regenaissance, a regenerative renaissance in which food systems restore health and soil, economies create shared prosperity, cities support wellbeing, and technology aligns with life rather than undermining it.  
    If Sapiens helped readers understand how we got here, and Homo Deus asked where humanity might go, Homo Universalis asks the question that now matters most:  
    How do we create a civilization that works for everyone, and for life itself?

    In the late 1990s, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California, hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task, the bears soon won him over, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed nonlethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation that heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. But change was not without its challenges. To some, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment, and eventually became not just local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears, but, in many ways, his community. 
     
     
     
    In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don't? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. As Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world, you'll never look at bears or nature the same way again.
