  Leading an Agile team calls for unexpected changes and typical project management tactics. You simply can't approach an Agile Project with the same mentality as you usually use. Agile teams are self-organized, self-directing, and lack a hierarchical structure that often defines project management. But even with the lack of common elements, you can be a team leader and guide your project to success. Even if you're not familiar with coding or software development, understanding the Agile manifesto, and the basics of Agile project management, you can be a valued part of the team. 
  Within this book you'll learn:The principles of Agile developmentDifferent methods to guide your team toward successHow to keep team members accountableYour role within the Agile team and how to best act as a leaderHow to address conflict and tension within your teamValuable tools to use to help your team communicate clearly and collaborate effectivelyHow to manage the events that drive Agile projects 
  Managing an Agile project can go smoothly if you use the principles and constructs of an Agile team the way they were intended. Some modern tools have made that even easier, but you'll always need to have a grip on the human element of team management as well. By expanding your knowledge of Agile, you can balance the importance of people, the usefulness of tools, and the value of the principles laid out in the Agile Manifesto.

  Invention and Innovation - A...

  The world is never finished catching up with Vaclav Smil. In his latest and perhaps most readable book, Invention and Innovation, the prolific author—a favorite of Bill Gates—pens an insightful and fact-filled jaunt through the history of invention.  
   
  Impatient with the hype that so often accompanies innovation, Smil offers in this book a clear-eyed corrective to the overpromises of new inventions—from cures for diseases to AI. He reminds us that even after we go quite far along the invention-development-application trajectory, we  
  may never get anything real to deploy. Or worse, even after we have succeeded by introducing an invention, its future may be marked by underperformance, disappointment, demise, or outright harm. 
   
  Drawing on his vast breadth of scientific and historical knowledge, Smil explains the difference between invention and innovation, and looks not only at inventions that failed to dominate as promised (such as the airship, nuclear fission, and supersonic flight) but also at those that turned  
  disastrous (leaded gasoline, DDT, and chlorofluorocarbons). And finally, he offers a “wish list” of inventions that we most urgently need to confront the staggering challenges of the twenty-first century. 
   
  Filled with engaging examples and pragmatic approaches, this book is a sobering account of the folly that so often attends human ingenuity—and how we can, and must, better align our expectations with reality.

  Virology - Tiny Invaders and...

  Viruses are microscopic entities that exist at the boundary between living and non-living matter. Despite their minuscule size, viruses have a profound impact on all forms of life, from bacteria and plants to humans and animals. They are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, outnumbering bacteria by a factor of ten. Viruses have played a key role in shaping ecosystems, driving evolution, and causing significant diseases in both humans and other organisms. 
  A virus is fundamentally a small particle, or "virion," composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat known as a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid membrane called an envelope. Unlike bacteria or other microorganisms, viruses lack the machinery necessary for self-replication and metabolism. Instead, they must infect a host cell to reproduce. The virus hijacks the host's cellular machinery to replicate its genome and assemble new viral particles, which are then released to infect other cells. 
  The structure of viruses is incredibly diverse. There are simple, rod-shaped viruses, more complex spherical ones, and even geometrically intricate varieties like the icosahedral viruses. The genetic material within the virus—whether it is single-stranded or double-stranded, RNA or DNA—dictates the virus's replication strategy and determines how it interacts with the host organism. While some viruses infect only specific species or cell types, others are capable of infecting multiple hosts, sometimes crossing species barriers in the process.
