    Are you interested in creating intelligent systems that can understand and generate natural language? 
Look no further! This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about RAG technology, LLM's, and prompt engineering. From understanding the basics of natural language processing (NLP) to deploying your own intelligent systems, this book provides a detailed roadmap for building and deploying systems that can process and generate human-like language. RAG technology is a powerful tool for generating high-quality text, and this book shows you how to use it to build intelligent systems that can create coherent and contextually appropriate responses to user inputs. 
You'll also learn how to integrate LLM's into your systems, allowing them to generate text that is not only grammatically correct but also contextually relevant. But building intelligent systems isn't just about technology – it's also about understanding how humans interact with language. That's why this book covers prompt engineering, a critical aspect of building conversational AI systems. You'll learn how to craft effective prompts that elicit the desired response from your system, and how to optimize your system for maximum accuracy and relevance. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out in NLP, this book is essential reading for anyone looking to build intelligent systems that can truly understand and generate human-like language. 
So why wait? Dive into the world of RAG technology, LLM's, and prompt engineering today!

    This is a compendium of theories of the shape of the Earth, along with a great deal of 'Earth Mystery' lore. Richly illustrated, the Book of Earths includes many unusual theories, including Columbus' idea that the Earth is literally pear-shaped, modern theories that the Earth was originally tetrahedral, and so on. Kenton also covers many traditional theories including the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, and those of the Peruvians, Aztecs and Mongols. She also discusses modern alternative theories such as that of Reed and Koresh. Strangely enough, she misses or ignores the modern flat earth theory of Rowbotham. This is the only apparent omission in this definitive study. Kenton has no apparent axe to grind: this is simply a very readable survey of the literature if you have any interest in 'Earth mysteries"
