Summary

Starting with Python syntax and data types, this guide builds toward implementing key machine learning models. Learn about loops, functions, OOP, and data cleaning, then transition into algorithms like regression, KNN, and neural networks. A final section walks you through model optimization and building projects in Python.The book is split into two major sections—foundational Python programming and introductory machine learning. Readers are guided through essential concepts such as data types, variables, control flow, object-oriented programming, and using libraries like pandas for data manipulation.In the machine learning section, topics like model selection, supervised vs unsupervised learning, bias-variance, and common algorithms are demystified with practical coding examples. It’s a structured, clear roadmap to mastering both programming and applied ML from zero knowledge.

    Find your own path to healing with this engaging guide—packed with both evidence-based and unconventional approaches to help you manage OCD and take back your life! 
     
    If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may become frustrated with inflexible and overly complicated treatments, and struggle with feelings of failure when these treatments don't work. You aren't alone. If you're tired of "therapy speak" and dense, clinical treatment sessions, maybe it's time to think outside the box. 
     
    With this engaging toolbox, you'll be able to pick and choose what works for you—including techniques drawn from Buddhism, existential therapy, and even stand-up comedy! When OCD Treatment Doesn't Work also offers a comprehensive set of skills grounded in evidence-based exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, internal family systems therapy (IFS), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) that you can use as needed to find lasting relief from intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and mental obsessions. If you've tried traditional OCD treatment but still haven't found relief, this book provides a customizable approach to help you manage your specific symptoms and improve your life. Why not pick it up and discover what works best for you?

    With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. 
     
     
     
    Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.

    What is the future of food? A radical look at how the food we eat affects the humans we are. 
    Read by Woody Harrelson. 
    Farmacy was founded by Camilla Fayed in 2016 with the mission to serve transformational food that offers a different future. Moved by the conviction that food can speak to every major crisis facing humanity, Farmacy collaborates with an array of initiatives that support food system transformation, radical human health and the cultivation of personal sovereignty. Manifesto on the Future of Food is the first title by Farmacy Publishing. 
    Farmacy demands a food revolution. With our bodies ailing and our mental health straining, humanity needs a radically different way of eating and farming. Tracing a path from the health of the soil to the health of human beings, Farmacy highlights how food is the connecting agent between our mental, physical and planetary wellbeing. 
    This audio edition of Farmacy’s Manifesto on the Future of Food is a collaboration between researchers, artists and writers, analysing the interconnected topics of soil ecology, industrial agriculture, the medicinal qualities of food, the gut-brain axis and regeneration, charting a bold path towards the renewal of our civilisation. 
    Profits from the sale of this audiobook go to the Farmacy Foundation, which invests in farms and educational initiatives that regenerate soil and empower people to transform their health.

    Carbon Paradox The: Why We Know...

    We know the science. We know the stakes. And yet — the emissions keep rising. Why, in the face of overwhelming evidence, does humanity remain frozen between knowledge and action? 
    In The Carbon Paradox, Alex Southwick delves into one of the most unsettling questions of our age: the psychological, cultural, and political forces that make climate change both undeniable and unchangeable. Through interviews with behavioral scientists, activists, economists, and ordinary citizens, Southwick explores the hidden mechanisms of denial, distraction, and disconnection that shape our collective inaction. 
    But this is not a book of blame — it’s a mirror. By tracing the gap between what we know and what we do, The Carbon Paradox reveals the deeper truth: that change depends not on more information, but on reimagining who we are and what we value. 
    Rigorously researched and profoundly human, The Carbon Paradox is both diagnosis and invitation — a call to break through paralysis and rediscover the will to act in a warming world.

  • Quantum Physics and the Higher Self - How Modern Science Rediscovers Esoteric Laws of Consciousness Energy and Vibration Unveiling the Connection Between Awakening and the Nature of Reality - cover

    Quantum Physics and the Higher...

    What if consciousness is not created by the brain, but the field from which all reality emerges? 
    What if observation itself shapes the world you experience, collapsing infinite potential into form? 
    What if the discoveries of quantum physics are not new at all—but a scientific echo of ancient esoteric knowledge? 
    With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science. 
    Inside this book you will learn: 
    • How the “observer effect” mirrors self-remembering — and why awareness itself is the true creative act. 
    • Why the zero-point field is the physical counterpart of meditation — where stillness and infinite energy coexist. 
    • How consciousness behaves as the fifth state of matter, beyond solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. 
    • Why emotional energy is alchemical fuel — and how conscious suffering converts vibration into light. 
    • Why synchronicity is not coincidence but feedback from a conscious universe responding to alignment. 
    • How Gurdjieff’s “inner laboratory” parallels modern physics in transforming energy through attention. 
    • What quantum entanglement reveals about shared awareness and the unity of all beings. 
    • How time, memory, and recurrence operate like quantum loops, echoing the eternal return. 
    • Why awakening is a negentropic process — the reorganization of energy through understanding. 
    ... and much more!
