  A true-life love story of a mated pair of Canada geese and their goslings. Non-Fiction Gold Award from The Non Fiction Authors Association (NFAA). This heart-warming saga showcases a committed and protective mated pair of Canada geese who decided to nest in a corporate courtyard in California. Author Barbara Klide and her business colleagues shared the honor of watching Hawkeye, Mother Goose, and their baby goslings for five months in consecutive years. With no body of water, the fully enclosed soccer field-sized courtyard offered the Canada geese a unique and sometimes challenging paradise. It allowed staff full observation, interaction, entertainment, and occasional worry while the geese warded off predators and ultimately thrived, nested, and hatched their goslings. 
  Coupled with stunning photography, these dynamic events deliver insights, and promote appreciation and awareness of the natural world we share with Canada geese. For adults, teens, and families, this journey of smart and elegant creatures is also packed with researched, educational facts, and in-depth resources about Canada geese for further study and enjoyment from the National Geographic, National Audubon Society, and California Rice Commission.

  Celestial Conundrums - Nine...

  Dark matter, a mysterious and invisible substance, remains one of the most profound puzzles in modern astrophysics. Despite being undetectable by conventional means, its presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Comprising roughly 27% of the universe’s total mass-energy content, dark matter far outweighs the ordinary matter that makes up stars, planets, and galaxies. However, scientists have yet to identify its true nature. 
  The origins of the dark matter hypothesis trace back to the early 20th century when astronomers noticed an unusual phenomenon. The visible mass of galaxies and clusters of galaxies appeared insufficient to explain their observed gravitational behavior. In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky first coined the term “dark matter” while studying galaxy clusters. He realized that the galaxies within these clusters were moving too quickly for the amount of visible matter present, suggesting the existence of an unseen mass exerting a gravitational pull. Since then, dark matter has become an essential concept for understanding the dynamics of galaxies and the larger structure of the universe. 
  Over the decades, further evidence for dark matter has emerged, from the rotation curves of galaxies to the behavior of galaxy clusters. When astronomers measure how fast stars orbit the center of a galaxy, they find that stars on the outer edges move much faster than expected based on the mass visible in the galaxy. If only the observed matter were present, the stars would not have enough gravitational pull to remain bound to the galaxy. This discrepancy is explained by the presence of an unseen mass—dark matter—scattered throughout the galaxy. Additionally, observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which reflects the early universe, also point to dark matter's existence as a key player in the formation of the cosmos.

  Taming Silicon Valley - How We...

  On balance, will AI help humanity or harm it? AI could revolutionize science, medicine, and technology, and deliver us a world of abundance and better health. Or it could be a disaster, leading to the downfall of democracy, or even our extinction. In Taming Silicon Valley, Gary Marcus, one of the most trusted voices in AI, explains that we still have a choice. And that the decisions we make now about AI will shape our next century. In this powerful manifesto, Marcus explains how Big Tech is taking advantage of us, how AI could make things much worse, and, most importantly, what we can do to safeguard our democracy, our society, and our future. 
   
   
   
  Marcus explains the potential—and potential risks—of AI in the clearest possible terms and how Big Tech has effectively captured policymakers. He begins by laying out what is lacking in current AI, what the greatest risks of AI are, and how Big Tech has been playing both the public and the government, before digging into why the US government has thus far been ineffective at reining in Big Tech. He then offers real tools, including eight suggestions for what a coherent AI policy should look like—from data rights to layered AI oversight to meaningful tax reform—and closes with how ordinary citizens can push for what is so desperately needed. Taming Silicon Valley is a must-listen for every concerned citizen.
