  Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
   
   
   
  As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.

  Today's world is rapidly transforming, and technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. Digital tools have opened up immense opportunities, from communicating with friends to accessing educational resources. However, with these advances, it is crucial to ensure that when learners are equipped with the necessary skills to navigate this Digital landscape responsibly and safely. This is the foundation upon which Digital Citizenship for Class 7 Level 2. 
  The content of this book is thoughtfully divided into several key areas: 
  Introduction to Digital Citizenship: In this introductory chapter, students will learn about Digital Citizenship, focusing on the responsible use of Digital Devices and positive contributions to the online world. They will be introduced to concepts like Digital Identity and Digital Footprint in a way that helps them understand the long-term effects of their online actions. 
  Online Safety and Security: With increasing access to the internet, safety and security are paramount. This chapter covers essential topics such as protecting personal information, understanding privacy settings, recognising and avoiding online threats (such as cyberbullying, phishing, and malware), and strong passwords. Students will also be introduced to safe browsing habits and how to report inappropriate or harmful content. 
  Media Literacy and Critical Thinking: The internet is full of information, but not all of it is accurate or trustworthy. In this book, students will enhance their critical thinking skills to analyse and evaluate online information. They will learn to differentiate between credible sources and misinformation, understand the dangers of fake news, and recognise the influence of advertising and social media on public opinion, empowering them to become discerning consumers of Digital content.

  You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
  You have been hired by a company with big plans.  They want to create a new family of products and have them ready for sale in just six months.  They have jut hired 75 recent graduate from ivy league colleges to do the work, and the company wants you to form them into five Scrum teams and manage them to meet the deadline. 
  Dealing with 75 grass green developers is a tall order, but the company expects success.  What should you do? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

  Deep learning has revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, enabling computers to perform complex tasks that were once thought to be exclusive to human intelligence. Python, with its rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, has emerged as the language of choice for implementing deep learning algorithms. 
  "Deep Learning with Python: Bridging the Gap for Advanced AI" is a comprehensive guide that takes readers on a journey through the world of deep learning, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to bridge the gap between basic understanding and advanced applications. 
  This book begins with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of deep learning, covering neural networks, deep architectures, and optimization techniques. Readers will explore the building blocks of deep learning with Python, including data preparation and preprocessing, model selection and evaluation, and an in-depth look at popular deep learning libraries and tools like TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch. 
  Moving beyond the basics, the book dives into advanced techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image classification and object detection, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for sequence modeling and language generation, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) for image generation and style transfer. 
  The book also delves into deep learning for natural language processing, covering word embeddings, language modeling, and text classification. It explores transfer learning and deep reinforcement learning, providing insights into how pre-trained models can be leveraged and how deep learning can be applied to solve complex problems in reinforcement learning domains.

  The Fox Shrew and You - How...

  A leading neuroscientist describes the long evolutionary process that led to the human brain. 
  Our human brain is both unique and similar to that of other species. The only way we can trace its evolution is by comparing it to the brains of animals alive today. In this book, leading neuroscientist Rogier Mars offers an engaging account of the evolution of the brain by exploring the brains and cognitive capacities of animals from the humble sea squirt to the socially minded fox and the tiny shrew. 
  By examining the challenges that different animals and their ancestors faced, Mars shows that we can understand what drove the evolution of their brains. Early vertebrates became predators of the sea; mammals evolved a complex neocortex to deal with foraging for high-energy food; and social primates adapted to contend with a fast-changing environment in which groups of individuals team up to get food. Over the course of a long evolutionary road, the ancestors of present-day animals and their descendants continually adapted to challenges, modifying their brains again and again. For us humans, this process gradually led to a brain that is capable of so much, from inventing language to traveling into space. 
  Mars leads listeners across eras and species, showing us how we resemble our animal cousins, how we differ from them, and how animals in one branch of the evolutionary tree did the hard evolutionary work of becoming human.
