Sinossi

"Extinct Giants" explores the fascinating realm of colossal prehistoric life, examining the evolution, environmental context, and ultimate extinction of these titans. The book highlights the era when biological limits were stretched, diving into the reasons behind the emergence and disappearance of these enormous creatures. Understanding the fate of these giants provides vital insights into the principles governing life on Earth, and the implications of current environmental shifts. For example, the book looks at how the Megalodon evolved into a massive marine predator and how the Woolly Mammoth adapted to Ice Age conditions.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with an introduction to gigantism and its drivers. It then investigates the marine environment, focusing on giant sharks and marine reptiles, before shifting to land to explore gigantic mammals like the woolly mammoth. Finally, it examines the extinction events that wiped out many of these giants, evaluating the roles of climate change and human activity.

 
The book presents information from paleontology, geology, and evolutionary biology in an accessible style, avoiding technical jargon and explaining complex concepts clearly, making it valuable to those interested in Earth Sciences, Biology, and prehistoric life.

    Can you imagine how it feels to have peace and unconditional love flowing all around you at a time when you are feeling so helpless and vulnerable? Rethinking Pink is not a testimony on the color of the sexes, but it is about the remarkable way in which God used a pink bouquet of flowers to walk the author through what she calls her greatest testimony. God showed her who He is, and let her experience victory during a time many people would have felt completely defeated. Please join her on the pages inside as she recalls the experience that has brought her closer to understanding the depth of God's love and who He is. It is hoped that you will find a way to rethink how to embrace the challenges you are presently undergoing. Perhaps you can even revisit some past circumstances and view them differently. Krystal Joyce Simmons Gill is a native of Newark, New Jersey. In her youth she was afforded the opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona Spain where she learned to love the Spanish language and people. She continued her language studies in college and upon graduation began teaching the Spanish language to middle school students in Syracuse, New York. She boasts of a resume totally designed by God's plan for her life. It encompasses teaching students from pre-K through college and includes living abroad in Costa Rica and Japan. She is an evangelist missionary under the direction of the Church of God in Christ, Inc. Although a lover of travel, she has been temporarily grounded due to a spinal cord injury incurred in 2015. Presently, she lives with her devoted husband of 30 years and their only son.

    Digital technology runs on algorithms, sets of instructions that describe how to do something efficiently. Application areas range from search engines to tournament scheduling, DNA sequencing, and machine learning. Arguing that every educated person today needs to have some understanding of algorithms and what they do, in this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Panos Louridas offers an introduction to algorithms that is accessible to nonspecialists. Louridas explains not just what algorithms are but also how they work, offering a wide range of examples and keeping mathematics to a minimum. 
     
     
     
    After discussing what an algorithm does and how its effectiveness can be measured, Louridas covers three of the most fundamental applications areas: graphs, which describe networks, from eighteenth-century problems to today's social networks; searching, and how to find the fastest way to search; and sorting, and the importance of choosing the best algorithm for particular tasks. He then presents larger-scale applications: PageRank, Google's founding algorithm; and neural networks and deep learning. Finally, Louridas describes how all algorithms are nothing more than simple moves with pen and paper, and how from such a humble foundation rise all their spectacular achievements.

    Horses are valuable teachers and healers, and give us powerful lessons in how to be effective leaders. In this 2022 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Carolyn Resnick reveals the secrets of how a horse gains and maintains its leadership of a herd of wild horses. What makes a good leader in a stallion of a herd of wild horses can be used for human leadership as well: it does not lead by coercion or waging battles, but creates unity, harmony, and respect including the personal space of others.  
    Carolyn Resnick is the founder of The Resnick Method of Horsemanship and offers many online courses, clinics, retreats, and certification opportunities that create a magical connection with horses using rituals that are innate to the horse. She is a master horse communicator who grew up with horses and spent three summers of her childhood gradually becoming accepted into a community of wild horses, culminating in her ability to ride a lead mare bareback and without a bridle. She is the author of Naked Liberty: Memoirs of My Childhood, Guided by Passion, Educated by Wild Horses (Amigo Publications, Inc. 2005).
