  The New England landscape has long been battered by some of the most intense weather in the United States. The region breeds one of the highest concentrations of meteorologists in the country for a reason. One can experience just about anything except a dust storm. Snowstorms, floods, droughts, heat waves, arctic blasts, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other atmospheric oddities come and go with the changing seasons. Rare is the boring year of weather. 
   
   
   
  Knowing the past is a critical part of understanding and forecasting the weather. Meteorologist Eric Fisher takes an in depth look at some of the most intense weather events in New England's history. The stories in this book not only describe the loss and the damage caused by the storms, but also how nearly all of them in left such an impression that they immediately led to progress where new warnings systems were implemented, government agencies formed, and technology accelerated in response to the devastation these events left behind.

  The Great River - The Making and...

  A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
   
   
   
  Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

  An unconventional, hands-on guide to turning ideas into products that matter—and that people love—from the legendary Silicon Valley pioneer, founder of Zynga, and creator of Stanford Graduate School of Business’s product management course. 
  Mark Pincus has been at the forefront of each iteration of the internet. He built the original app company ahead of the mobile app economy and sold virtual goods to the masses long before in-app purchase generated $85 billion on smartphones. As the founder of Zynga, he brought us FarmVille, CityVille, and Words with Friends, launching eight hit games and reaching more than a billion users in four years.     
  Pincus has turned hit-making into a repeatable system, birthing one of his favorite guiding principles that “all new fails”. Life at the Speed of Play is his framework for moving faster and massively increasing your odds of success. His insights and advice are essential in the new world of AI, where speed of testing and learning defines winners. 
  Bursting with wit, wisdom, and a core belief in tech’s endless capacity, each chapter of Life at the Speed of Play contains actionable takeaways based on Pincus’s unorthodox “Mark-isms” including “hire people with broken resumes,” “protect investors from themselves,” and, paradoxically, to “f*** scale” in favor of quality over quantity. 
  What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School for the twenty-first century, here is the essential “bible” for entrepreneurs, product managers, innovators, and anyone who has an idea—digital or analog—that they dream of turning into a reality. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  As the digital world becomes more connected and data privacy concerns grow, traditional centralized machine learning models face serious limitations. Federated Learning presents a revolutionary approach—enabling intelligent agents to learn collaboratively across decentralized devices while keeping sensitive data where it originates. 
  This book explores the architecture, techniques, and transformative potential of federated learning in environments that are dynamic, distributed, and data-rich. From smartphones and IoT sensors to edge devices and autonomous systems, you’ll discover how this decentralized AI paradigm supports real-time intelligence without compromising security or user trust. 
  Through in-depth explanations, real-world case studies, and practical guidance, the book demonstrates how federated learning empowers systems to adapt in real time, coordinate intelligently, and make decisions locally—with global impact. 
  Inside, you'll explore: 
  •	Core principles of federated learning and its evolution from centralized AI 
  •	Privacy-preserving techniques such as secure aggregation and differential privacy 
  •	Federated optimization algorithms and communication-efficient training 
  •	Applications in healthcare, autonomous vehicles, finance, and edge AI 
  •	Challenges in scalability, data heterogeneity, and system reliability 
  •	The role of federated learning in enabling trustworthy and collaborative AI ecosystems 
  This book offers the knowledge and frameworks needed to design intelligent agents that thrive in decentralized, dynamic environments—paving the way for the next generation of responsible and distributed AI.
