  What happens when artificial intelligence doesn’t just change work but eliminates it? Not someday. Now. 
   
  Nicolas Chaillan served as the first Chief Software Officer of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force. He watched the shift happen inside the Pentagon—then built it himself, running thirteen AI agents for roughly $200 a day to replace work that once required a full team.  
   
  Replacement is a firsthand account from someone who built the systems, saw the disruption coming, and is now sounding the alarm. This is not a warning about the future. It’s a dispatch from the present. And a survival plan for your family.

  Vanishing Life on Earth

  The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
  existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
  history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
  The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
  have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
  The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
  selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
  microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
  Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
  and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
  diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

  Rest Is Resistance - Group...

  The work we do doesn’t define our worth. Imagine a world where justice includes space for rest and leisure, away from the relentless grind created by capitalism, white supremacy, and other oppressive forces. For centuries, these systems have exploited bodies for production, leading to destruction and harm by denying the inherent divinity in every human being. But now, people are waking up to this manipulation, and they’re starting to prioritize rest and healing. 
  America was built on the labor of Black and Indigenous people, whose right to rest was denied. The capitalist system grew out of violence and the theft of labor on plantations. These oppressive systems view human bodies as property, not as divine beings. We've been conditioned to believe we must work endlessly or risk falling into poverty. But there’s more beyond this narrow view.

  IGNOU PGDCA MCS 207 Database Management Systems Previous Years Unsolved Papers: The field of Database Management Systems (DBMS) is a cornerstone of modern information technology, playing a critical role in how data is stored, managed, and retrieved in today's data-driven world. As organizations across the globe increasingly rely on efficient data management to drive their operations, the demand for skilled professionals in DBMS continues to grow. Recognizing the significance of this field, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has incorporated Database Management Systems as a key component of its curriculum, challenging students to master both the theoretical frameworks and practical skills necessary to excel in this domain. 
  This book, IGNOU Database Management Systems Previous Years Unsolved Papers (MCS-207), is a thoughtfully compiled collection of unsolved question papers from previous years. It is designed to serve as an indispensable resource for students preparing for their exams in DBMS. The primary aim of this book is to equip students with a comprehensive tool to self-assess their understanding, pinpoint areas that require further study, and enhance their problem-solving capabilities. 
  We believe that practicing with previous years’ question papers is one of the most effective strategies for exam preparation. It not only familiarizes students with the types and formats of questions they may encounter but also deepens their grasp of the subject matter by applying concepts to practical, real-world scenarios. By working through these unsolved papers, students will be able to evaluate their readiness, improve their time management skills during exams, and build the confidence needed to tackle complex questions.

  Biomimetics - How Lessons From...

  An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. 
   
  Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems. 
   
  Science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

  'Generous, moving and alive. A gift' - Tim Dee, author of Greenery
  'Intelligent, thought-provoking and always, always interesting' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment
  'Smyth writes with warmth and engaging perception about our relationship and understanding of the natural world on our doorsteps' - Jon Dunn, author of The Glitter in the Green
  'Fresh and tender and playful' - Patrick Galbraith, author of In Search of One Last Song
  Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?
  
  Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.
  
  Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.
