  Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Professor Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, explores the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness. 
   
  While the car has been marketed as a symbol of "freedom", the authors convincingly argue that it has limited the flourishing of our cities and restricted our choices. How can we fix our toxic relationship with cars? The authors offer a new way of thinking that promises to multiply your choices, improve your city, and expand your freedoms.  
   
  Inside the book, you'll find real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars; philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike; a catalogue of ideas and approaches for urban designers, transport planners, policymakers, and mayors; and much more. 
   
  Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, drivers, environmentalists, urbanists, and policymakers―anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.

  In *From Mines to Milestones*, Michael Metsemakers takes readers on a gritty, unfiltered journey through the mining industry in the vast, rugged outback of Western Australia. Born in a small country town, Michael never imagined he'd one day be operating 600-ton excavators, but his relentless drive and passion for heavy machinery propelled him through the ranks of Australia’s mining operations. 
  Starting as an 18-year-old roller operator with no knowledge of the industry, Michael quickly adapted to the unique challenges of the FIFO lifestyle. His story captures the highs and lows of working in harsh environments, the thrill of mastering powerful machinery, and the struggle to balance career and family life. 
  Now a father, Michael faces his toughest challenge yet: leaving the mines behind to be with his son and experience life’s most important milestones at home. In this memoir, he shares not only the technical aspects of his career but also the personal sacrifices, triumphs, and decisions that shaped his path. 
  With honesty and humility, Michael recounts his rise through the industry, offering a raw look at the determination it takes to succeed, the friendships formed in remote camps, and the emotional weight of a life lived between shifts in the outback and moments with loved ones. 
  *From Mines to Milestones* is not just a story about heavy machinery; it's a heartfelt exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of balance in a demanding world. Join Michael as he reflects on his past, contemplates his future, and invites readers to follow his incredible journey both in and out of the mines.

  A robust and engaging account of the single greatest threat faced by AI and ML systems. 
   
   
   
  In Not with a Bug, But with a Sticker: Attacks on Machine Learning Systems and What to Do About Them, a team of distinguished adversarial machine learning researchers deliver a riveting account of the most significant risk to currently deployed artificial intelligence systems: cybersecurity threats. The authors take you on a sweeping tour—from inside secretive government organizations to academic workshops at ski chalets to Google's cafeteria—recounting how major AI systems remain vulnerable to the exploits of bad actors of all stripes. 
   
   
   
  Based on hundreds of interviews of academic researchers, policy makers, business leaders and national security experts, the authors compile the complex science of attacking AI systems with color and flourish and provide a front row seat to those who championed this change. Grounded in real world examples of previous attacks, you will learn how adversaries can upend the reliability of otherwise robust AI systems with straightforward exploits.

  Greener Than Thou - Surviving...

  A hilarious romp through the past, present, and future of Green politics in Canada. 
  "Incisive, frequently hilarious!" - Lean Out with Tara Headley 
  "I burst out loud laughing." - Brian Lilley, Full Comment Podcast 
  "Mark writes candidly and hilariously about the state of Green politics in Canada." - Joseph Planta, TheCommentary.ca 
  "It's great... Some of the details, my god, they make working in that party sound like living in a house of mirrors... Ouch." - Arshy Mann, The Hatchet 
  Mark Leiren-Young, a lifelong environmentalist and Leacock Medal-winning humour writer, journeys to the heart of greenness to reveal the toxic sludge of Canadian eco-politics. 
  For a brief moment in 2019, it looked like Elizabeth May’s Green wave could change Canadian politics and finally wield real power in Ottawa. During that brief moment, Leiren-Young was a campaign manager in a riding the federal Greens were sure to win. He quit on discovering that there was only one thing stopping the Green Party of Canada from changing the country’s electoral landscape forever: the Green Party of Canada. 
  The Greens were not ready for prime time. Or late night. Or four a.m., after last call, when voters stop being picky and are desperate for anyone with a nice smile. Once the spotlight hit, the Greens wilted, never to recover. 
  A comedic take on the sorry state of Canada’s environmental politics, Greener Than Thou explores how the Green party has repeatedly shot itself in the foot, blasted out its kneecaps, and done everything in its power to ensure it will never have a say in decisions that shape the future of our planet.
