Lump - A Memoir in Ineloquent...

Allison Sweet Grant

For fans of Between Two Kingdoms and Milk and Honey, a dazzling, unconventional memoir—in essays and verse—of a young woman’s sojourn with breast cancer; a chronicle of the most tragic moments in loss, and a celebration ofthe most tender moments in life.Question:If one breast is triple positive and the other triple negative, do they cancel each other out?Asking for a friend.    In this intimate meditation, Allison Sweet Grant begins at the place she assumed was the end. Barely 40, a mother of three, and just embarking upon her literary career, she started detailing her cancer experience the only way she knew how. In poems and compositions including “The Good Patient: A Play,” “A Note on Common Sense,” “Hot-Girl Summer,” and “1000 Kinds of Clouds,” Grant deftly explores every emotion, from the gripping panic of diagnosis to the bittersweet relief of recovery, and the heartbeats in between.     Unpretentious, gut-wrenchingly honest, and at times devastatingly funny, Lump illuminates the fear, hope, everyday indignities of illness, and unexpected joys of healing with sobering clarity and wisdom. Whether you’re on a similar course, supporting a loved one through theirs, or simply appreciate lyrical musings and poignant prose, this evocative collection is one you will savor and share.

The Progress Illusion -...

Jon D. Erickson

In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
 
 
 
While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.

Fundamentals of Enterprise...

Tanu McCabe

With the increasing complexity of modern cloud-based systems, an effective enterprise architecture program is more critical than ever. In this practical book, author Tanu McCabe from Capital One provides proven frameworks and practices to define an effective enterprise architecture strategy—one that will enable software and enterprise architects to create and implement great architecture strategies. 
 
 
 
You'll learn how to create shared alignment across business and technology, embed architecture practices into processes and tooling, incorporate technology and business trends, and instill contextual understanding over siloed decision-making. Complete with examples of patterns and antipatterns, this book provides reusable templates, assessment tools, and practical advice. 
 
 
 
With this book, you will understand exactly what enterprise architecture is, and why it's important to build an effective enterprise architecture practice; learn who needs to be involved to define and implement architecture strategies; examine common pitfalls that inhibit effective architecture strategies; assess the current state of your organization's architecture practice to identify opportunities for improvement; define your own architecture strategy at both an organizational and personal level by applying the book's frameworks; and more.

Battlefields of The Future: The...

Dr. Nick Coman, I. A.I.

A 36‑lecture audio course on how wars are actually fought in the machine age—from seabed cables and city power grids to low‑Earth orbit, cislunar space, and the neural loop between a human and a weapon. We break the kill chain open: sensing and space‑based cueing; edge compute and target fusion; communications that survive jamming; and the things that do damage—mines, missiles, loitering munitions, directed energy, electromagnetic pulse, and code.
We make the stack legible for operators and serious thinkers alike: synthetic aperture radar becomes SAR; high‑altitude long endurance becomes HALE; link budgets and laser crosslinks stop being magic and start being math you can reason about in words. You will see how orbital “stalkers” shadow satellites, why stratospheric platforms matter when air defenses make manned ISR bleed, how decoys and digital camouflage fracture an adversary’s picture, and where the automation boundary really sits when AI runs parts of the kill web with a human on the loop.
Engineering reality, not brochure fog, sets the pace. We trace power budgets, attrition math, and reconstitution timelines; map chokepoints in chips, propellants, optics, batteries, and shipyards; and follow sanctions, export controls, and standards as operational constraints, not afterthoughts.
The glidepath is explicit. 2025 to 2035: proliferated space, cheap autonomy, hard lessons from electronic warfare. 2035 to 2050: directed‑energy baselines, resilient meshes, smarter decoys. 2050 to 2075 and beyond: cislunar logistics with teeth, human performance management that is governed not ghoulish, brain–computer interfaces that shorten loops without erasing judgment.
Rigorous, unsentimental, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to modern combat systems—how they are built, how they break, and how they win.

James Watson and Francis Crick...

James Watson, Francis Crick

James Dewey Watson (April 6, 1928 - November 6, 2025) was an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist. Francis Harry Compton Crick (June 8, 1916 – July 28, 2004) was an English molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist. In 1953, Watson and Crick co-authored an academic paper in Nature proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule, building on research by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling. In 1962, Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material." The following TV interview is from 1993.
