  - Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry. 
  - They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done. 
  - Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials. 
  - Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized. 
  - Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause. 
  - It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business. 
  - They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock. 
  - We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.  
  - We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities. 
  - I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out. 
  - We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives. 
  - There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging. 
  - Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.  
  - Reduce and reuse packaging. First, eliminate plastic shopping bags.  
  - We can do things differently to change our eating and buying habits.

  Take a data-first and use-case-driven approach with Low-Code AI to understand machine learning and deep learning concepts. This hands-on guide presents three problem-focused ways to learn no-code ML using AutoML, low-code using BigQuery ML, and custom code using scikit-learn and Keras. In each case, you'll learn key ML concepts by using real-world datasets with realistic problems. 
   
   
   
  Business and data analysts get a project-based introduction to ML/AI using a detailed, data-driven approach: loading and analyzing data; feeding data into an ML model; building, training, and testing; and deploying the model into production. Authors Michael Abel and Gwendolyn Stripling show you how to build machine learning models for retail, healthcare, financial services, energy, and telecommunications. 
   
   
   
  You'll learn how to distinguish between structured and unstructured data and the challenges they present; visualize and analyze data; preprocess data for input into a machine learning model; differentiate between the regression and classification supervised learning models; compare different ML model types and architectures, from no code to low code to custom training; design, implement, and tune ML models; and export data to a GitHub repository for data management and governance.

  Trained as a vet in Edinburgh, Hugh Cran set off to Kenya and spent the next 50 years at the sharp end, treating cattle of Maasai herdsmen, wild animals, horses and pets of ex-pats and the military, the government and everyone in-between. Travelling miles on rough roads, performing impromptu surgery by torchlight and with dirty water, Hugh fell in love with the chaotic life and the colourful people he worked for, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.

  The Engineered Primate - Natures...

  What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition… has gone unnoticed? 
  For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: 
  Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules. 
  But beneath the surface, something just doesn’t add up. 
  The human body thrives without our conscious control: 
  Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere – with no chef, no control tower, no captain. 
  Which really begs the question: how does it all work? 
  The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: 
  Why does digestion even exist? 
  What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary? 
  How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer? 
  …and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models? 
  This is not another diet manual. 
  It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.

  A Brief History of the Coast in...

  An immersive history of our coasts and the people who have shaped them 
  The coast means something different to everyone. 
  It’s a place of pleasure and reckless pursuits, of fishing, fearless endeavours and a crashing, rugged beauty. The coast is, and always has been, our first line of defence and our springboard to other cultures. 
  Through the lens of 100 carefully selected objects, this treasure chest of a book delves into the myriad ways our coastlines have shaped, and been shaped by, our history, culture, and identity. From Roman lighthouses to rosary beads, knitted jumpers to Viking slave shackles, each object serves as a portal to a unique story. 
  Sally Coulthard’s engaging narrative goes far beyond the traditional seaside holiday to illuminate the coast’s role as a first line of defence, a site of trade, and a catalyst for cultural exchange. Readers will discover how the coast has influenced our beliefs, economy, and even our domestic lives. And, looking out to sea, this book will show how Britain’s story is anchored to those of our European neighbours and of faraway lands. 
  From one of Britain’s finest historians of material culture, this book vividly captures the enduring magic and significance of our shores. Whether it’s smugglers’ underpants or sailor’s hoaxes, whale vomit or pickled puffin – it all washes up on the British coast… 
  For fans of James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Serviceberry), Charles King (Every Valley), and Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose).
