  Nineteen leading literary writers from around the globe offer timely, haunting first-person reflections on how climate change has altered their lives 
   
   
   
  In this riveting anthology, leading literary writers reflect on how climate change has altered their lives, revealing the personal and haunting consequences of this global threat. 
   
   
    
  In the opening essay, National Book Award finalist Lydia Millet mourns the end of the Saguaro cacti in her Arizona backyard due to drought. Later, Omar El Akkad contemplates how the rise of temperatures in the Middle East is destroying his home and the wellspring of his art. Gabrielle Bellot reflects on how a bizarre lionfish invasion devastated the coral reef near her home in the Caribbean—a precursor to even stranger events to come. Traveling through Nebraska, Terese Svoboda witnesses cougars running across highways and showing up in kindergartens. 
   
   
    
  As the stories unfold—from Antarctica to Australia, New Hampshire to New York—an intimate portrait of a climate-changed world emerges, captured by writers whose lives jostle against incongruous memories of familiar places that have been transformed in startling ways.

  Eleven Techniques Zero Winners -...

  Nikolaos Broikos

  • 0

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Eleven of the most widely taught prompt engineering techniques were run against a control that gave no instruction at all. A single sentence about a Tuesday afternoon. 
   
  Not one of them beat it. 
   
  Think step by step. Take a deep breath. You are an expert. Please. I will tip you. Every one of them arrived in working practice as something everybody knew, and not one arrived with a number attached. So they were measured properly: the same tasks, the same graders, three repeats each, every call isolated, and a control designed to look exactly like a technique while instructing nothing. 
   
  Eleven techniques went in. None came out ahead on accuracy. Seven of them significantly damaged the shape of the answer, which is the part your code depends on. The single most recommended instruction in the field took responses that were clean every single time down to fewer than one in three. 
   
  This is not an opinion piece about AI hype. It is a measurement programme with the trial data published, the graders published, and the gates that had to pass before any of it was allowed to run. Where the author's own instruments turned out to be wrong, that is in the book too, with the numbers it changed. 
   
  If you have ever added a phrase to a prompt because somebody confident said it worked, this is the book that tells you what it cost you.

  The basis of competition is changing. Rivalry is shifting from well-defined industries to broader ecosystems: automobiles to mobility platforms; banking to fintech; television broadcasting to video streaming. Your competitors are coming from new directions and pursuing different goals from those of your familiar rivals. In this world, succeeding with the old rules can mean losing the new game. Winning the Right Game introduces the concepts, tools, and frameworks necessary to confront the threat of ecosystem disruption and to develop the strategies that will let your organization play ecosystem offense. 
   
   
   
  To succeed in this world, you need to change your perspective on competition, growth, and leadership. Strategy expert Ron Adner offers a new way of thinking, illustrating breakthrough ideas with compelling cases. How did a strategy of ecosystem defense save Wayfair and Spotify from being crushed by Amazon and Apple? How did Oprah Winfrey redraw industry boundaries to transition from television host to multimedia mogul? How did a shift to an alignment mindset enable Microsoft's cloud-based revival? Each was rooted in a new approach to competitors, partners, and timing that you can apply to your own organization. For today's leaders the difference between success and failure is no longer simply winning, but rather being sure that you are winning the right game.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Seeds of the Living Cosmos: How Life Shaped the Universe takes listeners on a breathtaking journey across space and time, exploring the profound interplay between life and the cosmos. From the resilient extremophiles that thrive in Earth's harshest environments to the cosmic forces that seed planets with the building blocks of life, this audiobook reveals that life is not just a product of the universe - it may be a guiding thread woven into its very fabric. 
   
  Challenging the notion that life is rare or confined to Earth, the author examines the cosmic blueprints behind star and planet formation, the hidden mechanisms that allow life to flourish in extreme conditions, and the subtle patterns in physics that suggest the universe itself may operate as a living system. Thought-provoking, scientifically rich, and profoundly philosophical, this work invites listeners to reconsider the origin of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and humanity’s place in a living cosmos. 
   
  With its forward-looking exploration of the future of astrobiology and the continuing quest to find life beyond our planet, Seeds of the Living Cosmos is both a celebration of discovery and a call to expand our understanding of the universe as an interconnected, living system.
