Summary

Marine Invasive Species sheds light on the growing threat of non-native species infiltrating deep-sea ecosystems. Once considered immune, these fragile environments are now vulnerable to bioinvasions, impacting biodiversity and biogeochemical cycles. The book explores how increased shipping and deep-sea mining contribute to this problem, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts.Did you know that deep-sea ecosystems play a vital role in global processes and are increasingly targeted for resource extraction? The book dissects the pathways of these invasions, analyzing ecological impacts such as competition and habitat alteration, and evaluating management strategies.Current conservation efforts overlook the deep sea, creating a blind spot in environmental management. By drawing on scientific literature, government reports, and visual data from ROVs, the book takes a comprehensive approach to understanding this issue.The book progresses from introducing marine bioinvasions to examining introduction pathways, analyzing ecological impacts, exploring management strategies, and discussing conservation policy implications. This approach offers a novel perspective by focusing on the deep sea while adopting a systems-thinking approach.

    This Second Edition of Transform Your Life And Save The World was published in 2019 and amended in 2021. The book is supported by a very informative website at www.humancondition.com 
    The world is in crisis! What is the solution? Ultimately, we have to find the redeeming, and thus transforming, understanding of our psychologically troubled human condition. And it is precisely that dreamed-of insight, and its now desperately needed transformation of our lives, that Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith presents in this book. 
    Titled Transform Your Life And Save The World - Through The Dreamed Of Arrival Of The Rehabilitating Biological Explanation Of The Human Condition, this book is a very short but powerful condensation of Griffith’s definitive treatise of the human condition that is presented in his book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition. 
    The genesis of Transform Your Life And Save The World lay in Griffith’s address at the June 2016 launch of FREEDOM at the Royal Geographical Society in London. Commencing with very brief extracts from Tim Macartney-Snape’s Introduction at the launch, and Sir Bob Geldof’s keynote address, it goes on to summarise FREEDOM’s content in 3 powerful chapters: ‘The Dishonest Biology’, ‘The Truthful Biology’, and ‘The Resulting Transformation Of The Human Race’. 
    As Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, has said, “I have no doubt this biological explanation of the human condition is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.”

    From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
     
     
     
    Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
     
     
     
    Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

    Science is so f*cking rad. We don't deserve it. 
     
     
     
    What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop listening right now. But although most of us don't actually understand quantum physics, and if we understood it we'd probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong? 
     
     
     
    Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry! 
     
     
     
    Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it's getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.

    AI systems are designed and programmed to mimic human thought and behavior, making artificial intelligence an integral part of our daily lives. This technology impacts a wide range of services and experiences. 
      
    For many, the most visible benefits of AI are seen in new gadgets and features, such as voice-activated assistants and facial recognition for unlocking devices. However, AI is also set to revolutionize other areas, such as healthcare. For example, hospitals in India are testing software that analyzes retinal images to detect diabetic retinopathy, a condition that is often diagnosed too late to prevent vision loss. In autonomous driving, AI helps vehicles understand and navigate their environments. AI is already embedded in many applications, from search algorithms to bionic limbs for the disabled.

    Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time. 
    This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better. 
    By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further. 
    Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do. 
    Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.
