  For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

  If Science is to Save Us

  There has never been a time when 'following the science' has been more important for humanity. At no other point in history have we had such advanced knowledge and technology at our fingertips, nor had such astonishing capacity to determine the future of our planet. 
   
   
   
  But the decisions we must make on how science is applied belong outside the lab and should be the outcome of wide public debate. For that to happen, science needs to become part of our common culture. Science is not just for scientists: if it were, it could never save us from the multiple crises we face. For science can save us, if its innovations mesh carefully into society and its applications are channeled for the common good. 
   
   
   
  As Martin Rees argues in this expert and personal analysis of the scientific endeavor on which we all depend, we need to think globally, we need to think rationally and we need to think long-term, empowered by twenty-first-century technology but guided by values that science alone cannot provide.

  Stop Being a Spectator. Become a Digital Architect 
  We are living through a "Renaissance of Thought". Just as the steam engine gave us physical strength, Artificial Intelligence is giving humanity a "Second Mind". But for most people, AI remains a "Black Box"—mysterious, intimidating, and slightly scary. 
  The Digital Architect’s Blueprint is your masterclass in taking the "scary" out of the "silicon". Written for the curious mind rather than the computer scientist, this guide uses "Unimaginable Explanations" and vivid metaphors to turn complex code into clear concepts. You won't just learn how to use AI, but also how to orchestrate it. 
  Inside this four-part journey, you will explore:The Soul of the Machine: Step inside the "Stadium of a Billion Ghosts" to understand how AI truly "thinks" through patterns and probabilities rather than rigid recipes.The Heart of the Machine: Navigate the "Hall of Ethics" to understand the "Smudged Mirror" of human bias and how to use AI as a "Billion-Year Laboratory" for global healing.The Hands of the Machine: Move beyond simple chatbots to build "Multi-Agent Systems"—teams of digital specialists that can browse the web, use tools, and solve complex business problems.The Voice of the Machine: Master the "Art of the Prompt" by learning to "Cast" the AI into professional roles and using "Chain of Thought" reasoning to achieve 10x better results. 
  Whether you are a business leader looking to drive efficiency, a creator wanting to multiply your output, or a student preparing for a new era, this book is your blueprint for the most exciting job in human history.

  Bestselling author Colm O’Regan is a worrier. A professional one. Caution is his watchword. Risk aversion is his love language. Now Colm is grappling with the biggest worry of all: the whole ‘planet being on fire’ thing and how exactly we can help. 
  Don’t worry, this isn’t a book telling you how to live off the grid and make your own planet-friendly soap from woodlice (that’s the sequel). Instead, Climate Worrier is about the journey, about trying (and often failing) to be part of the solution to the big issues, while not despairing at the endless hypocrisies that come from also being part of the problem. It’s about trying to be become the greenest version of yourself; about joining the ranks of those who give a shit and do a bit. 
  So if you’ve fretted about: 
  - using your diesel car to get closer to nature, 
  - eating your ethical food off a plastic plate, 
  - existing 
  and have a general feeling we’re all doing too little, too late, Climate Worrier is the book for you. 
  In Climate Worrier, O'Regan offers a humorous and relatable take on the struggles of trying to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle. His essays on the topic are both enlightening and entertaining, making this book a top pick for environmentalists and conservationists alike. 
  For fans of Emer Mclysaght (Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling), and Britney Spears (The woman in me).
