Sinossi

"Bending Trees" explores the captivating story of trees sculpted by nature's forces, revealing how wind, gravity, and environmental stress mold them into unique forms. These trees, often contorted in striking ways, offer profound insights into ecological adaptation. 

 
For instance, the book details how consistent winds can drastically alter tree morphology, while trees in nutrient-poor environments exhibit distinct growth patterns, showcasing resilience in the face of adversity. 

 
This book uniquely positions these "bent" trees as bioindicators of environmental conditions, delving into the biomechanics behind their unusual shapes and what they reveal about forest dynamics. 

 
By integrating botany, ecology, and dendrochronology, the book progresses from foundational principles of tree response to external forces, through case studies across diverse environments, and culminates in practical applications for climate change understanding and habitat restoration. 

 
The book helps readers understand the hidden stories these trees tell about our planet's past and future.

Machine Customers: The Evolution...

Katja Forbes

What if your next customer didn't have a pulse, preferences, or patience for poor performance?
In Machine Customers: The Evolution Has Begun, CX Evolutionist Katja Forbes reveals how intelligent agents, autonomous procurement systems, and logic-driven buying platforms are silently revolutionising commerce. This trillion-dollar transformation is happening now, not in some distant future.
Visa and Mastercard’s AI agents are shopping for customers. Walmart’s AI procurement makes million-dollar purchasing decisions in seconds without human intervention. Consumer advocate agents negotiate you out of your gym contracts. ChatGPT Agent will plan and book your holidays. These machine customers don’t respond to emotional appeals or brand storytelling. They evaluate clear information, consistent performance, and verifiable claims faster than any human ever could.
Every business leader should be asking the same question: "How do we stay competitive when our customers are machines?" Forbes provides the answer. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Don Scheibenreif (Gartner's leading machine customer authority) and Bruce Temkin (creator of industry-standard CX metrics), plus experts from Salesforce, Qualtrics, and other industry leaders, this book reveals the strategic playbook early adopters are using to build competitive advantages.

There are 30-60-90 day plans for leaders and advice on how to set up a machine customer experience operating system in their organisation.
Forbes shows leaders exactly how to make their businesses discoverable to AI agents, design machine-readable value propositions, navigate machine trust and ethics, and build algorithmic loyalty systems that lock out competitors.

Christians, believing that we are created by a living personal God who revealed himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and came to us in Jesus Christ, try to make sense of their faith in this digital jungle.

 
iJesus explores the relationship between the culture of God as Trinity in relation to our highly complex digital cultures and reflects on how we as followers and disciples of Jesus Christ can live in a world shaped by digital communication, connectivity and artificial intelligence.

 
In the culture of the Trinity, we see a God who is the source of hospitality and generosity in everything he does and in every way that he reacts with His creation.

 
Nadim Nassar gives a prophetic vision of our faith interacting and being lied out in the changing cultures around us and shows how God can make himself known and understood in a digital age.
