  What’s coming next for today’s workforce, and the companies behind them? For those eager and willing to adapt, the possibilities are nearly endless, says author Gerard Szatvanyi. Recent advances in technology have led to new trends, and this global transformation holds tremendous potential. Nearly every industry will be impacted, and organizations that set the right vision could benefit from breaking into new markets and creating specialized niches. Organizations have the opportunity to utilize AI solutions to equip team members and uplevel their skills. Along the way, they’ll need to think through the purpose of the office. It will also become increasingly important to follow smart protocols when hiring virtually and to take care as they operate in new regions to ensure these places align with their values. 
   
  As AI moves into the lives of everyday workers, companies can be assured that the human touch will still be essential. Even as machine learning and automation reduce the need for intense labor, team members will be tasked with higher level responsibilities, including the job of supervising AI and making final decisions. Firms can expect to see benefits ranging from increased productivity, higher rates of worker satisfaction, improved efficiencies, and the potential to produce new revenue streams from specialized products and services. Having an open mind and a willingness to think differently could help organizations increase their chances to gain — and hold — a strong position in their respective industries. 
   
  With more than 20 years of experience in the tech industry, Szatvanyi has long been fascinated with digital solutions and their impact. As founder of OSF Digital, a global IT services company, he has worked with clients and brands around the world, consulting and directing digital initiatives to equip organizations with the tools they need to reach consumer expectations and demand.

  An exploration of how the Cryogenian Period, when our planet was covered in ice for millions of years, created today's remarkable biodiversity 
   
   
    
  More than half a billion years ago, our world was completely covered by glaciers, a "Snowball Earth" that persisted for millions of years. Incredibly, this unimaginable cold led to the remarkable diversification of life on earth known as the Cambrian explosion. With a geologist's eye and a knack for storytelling, Graham Shields explores when and how such inhospitable conditions enabled animals to evolve, radiate, and diversify into our earliest ancestors. 
   
   
    
  This journey navigates the wild swings between hot and cold climates, oxygenation and asphyxiation, biological radiations and extinctions, asking how such instability relates to grander forces that brought our planet to its modern state. Shields guides listeners through evidence found in the Australian outback, Mongolia, Scotland, and other locales, revealing how geologists can trace glaciation, the atmosphere, oceans, mountain building, and more through the earth's rocks, providing a comprehensive theory of how life evolved and diversified.

  The Genetic Lottery - Why DNA...

  This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton makes a provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal society
  
  In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health—and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society.
  
  In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society.
  
  Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.
