Sinossi

Why does hot water sometimes freeze faster than cold water? This counterintuitive question defines the Mpemba effect, a phenomenon explored in this book. The central theme revolves around understanding why, under specific conditions, warmer water can reach freezing point quicker than cooler water. The book investigates the thermodynamic principles, like heat transfer and convection, and molecular behaviors that might explain this thermal anomaly. One intriguing insight is that the Mpemba effect isn't universally observed, but depends heavily on experimental conditions.

Mpemba Effect progresses systematically, starting with the historical background and definitions, then delving into thermodynamics and phase transitions. It critiques experimental studies, both supporting and refuting the effect, and assesses molecular-level theories, such as the role of hydrogen bonding. This multifaceted approach, combining experimental data and simulations, aims to provide a nuanced understanding.

The book emphasizes that the Mpemba effect is reproducible under specific settings but is not a universal law due to complex interactions of variables and experimental design. This book offers valuable insights for those interested in physics and the behavior of water, providing a comprehensive overview of the current scientific debates. By adopting a balanced, evidence-based approach, the book clarifies complex concepts in thermodynamics and molecular physics, highlighting the challenges and ongoing research surrounding the Mpemba effect. Understanding this effect has potential implications for cryogenics and materials science.

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.
The book transforms abstract concepts into Monday-morning implementation through original frameworks: the Machine Customer Experience Strategy Map, five Machine Customer types, and step-by-step guidance for redesigning customer journeys that win both human hearts and machine logic. 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.

The Alien Perspective - A New...

David Whitehouse

Astronomer and science writer David Whitehouse takes us on a journey through the evolving cosmos as he considers humankind's place in the universe - and how our survival depends on otherworldly perspectives.

From the Earth to the depths of outer space, this inspiring book shows how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves.

Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051.

Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.
