  AI + The New Human Frontier: Reimagining the Future of Time, Trust + Truth by Erica Orange, a renowned futurist, offers a compelling exploration of generative AI's potential to enhance human creativity rather than replace it. This pivotal book navigates how AI tools will help shape the human experience, and aid in augmenting human ingenuity and imagination. 
   
   
   
  The author eloquently argues that the essence of human intelligence—our curiosity, critical thinking, empathy, and more—is not only irreplaceable but will become increasingly valuable as AI evolves to take on routine tasks. AI + the New Human Frontier is a clarion call for embedding trust, human oversight and judgment into AI development, ensuring that the technology amplifies our most human capabilities. At a time when the lines between what is real, fake, true and false are becoming more blurred, reliance on human-centric solutions, not just technological ones, will become more critical. 
   
   
   
  Perfect for business leaders, managers, executives, and professionals navigating the new landscape of technology, AI + The New Human Frontier provides not only a vision of the future but also practical advice on thriving in an AI-enhanced world.

  World Prehistory - The Basics

  Written in a non-technical style by two archaeologists and experienced writers about the past, the story begins with human origins in Africa some six million years ago and the spread of our remote ancestors across the Old World. Then we return to Africa and describe the emergence of Homo sapiens (modern humans) over 300,000 years ago, then, much later, their permanent settlement of Europe, Eurasia, Asia, and the Americas. From hunters and foragers, we turn to the origins of farming and animal domestication in different parts of the world after about 11,000 years ago and show how these new economies changed human existence dramatically. The narratives chronicle the rise and fall of civilizations, and the devastating effects of long droughts on many of them. The closing chapter poses a question: Why is world prehistory important in the modern world? What does it tell us about ourselves? 
   
   
   
  Providing a simple, but entertaining and stimulating, account of the prehistoric past from human origins to today from a global perspective, World Prehistory: The Basics is the ideal guide to the story of our early human past and its relevance to the modern world.

  HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees &...

  HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees & Beekeeping is a great starter guide for those who are simply interested in honey bees or those who are interested in becoming beekeepers themselves. It describes the science of the honey bee itself, as well as the inner workings of each member and how they work together to survive. 
  The colony, as a whole, can be treated as its own organism because of how the honey bees work together to perform tasks as a social species. Beekeepers have been observing such behaviors for generations, and I would like to pass on the knowledge to others. The beekeeping portion of this guide provides a wealth of knowledge on how to start your own apiary. 
  Learn about all the equipment necessary for your operation, how to inspect your hives, what a beekeeper does throughout the year, a short guide to pests and diseases, bee-friendly plants, and how to extract honey and wax from your hives. All of this information can be found in this book. Just a warning, this hobby can cause one to become very passionate about one very small and fuzzy insect. It is not uncommon for a beekeeper to want to be constantly learning about honey bees. 
  About the Author 
  Emily Helton was introduced to the science of honey bees and the world of beekeeping when she was 17 years old. Dr. Jamie Ellis offered her a summer job at the University of Florida Honey Bee Research and Extension Laboratory. Through her six years working at the lab, she grew to love learning everything she could about honey bees and moved on to teaching others as well. Emily spoke at schools, clubs, and conferences and assisted in planning educational events in hopes of reaching more people. Now living in California, Emily voluntarily teaches at the Honeybee Discovery Center in Orland, where she is also on the Educational Committee and Advisory Council.

  Creating a wildlife habitat garden is a rewarding way to connect with nature and contribute to the well-being of local ecosystems. Whether you live in a city, suburb, or rural area, designing a garden that supports birds, butterflies, and other beneficial creatures can bring a sense of peace and harmony to your space. The importance of wildlife habitat gardens has grown over the years as the natural world faces unprecedented challenges, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. By planting with purpose, you can play an essential role in reversing these trends and create a sanctuary that supports biodiversity. 
  The primary focus of this book is on two of the most beloved and visible wildlife groups—birds and butterflies. These creatures not only provide beauty and joy to our gardens but also contribute significantly to the health of our environments. Birds are critical pollinators, seed dispersers, and pest controllers, while butterflies are essential for pollination, helping to fertilize plants as they move from flower to flower. Both species are also vital indicators of ecosystem health, and their presence can signal a thriving environment. 
  Designing a garden that attracts and supports birds and butterflies requires more than simply placing a birdbath or planting a few flowers. It involves understanding their needs and the role plants play in supporting these creatures through every stage of their life cycle. From providing the right types of plants to offering shelter, food, and water, every element of your garden will need to be carefully considered to create a balanced, thriving habitat.
