Synopsis

In 2012 retired South African general Johan Jooste was parachuted into the seemingly unwinnable war against rhino poaching in the Kruger National Park.
With poaching spiralling out of control, Jooste was given the mandate to ‘go military’, to convert Kruger’s ranger corps into a para-military force capable of taking the fight to the poachers.
Aged 60, white, and a veteran of 35 years' military service, Jooste’s controversial appointment was immediately met with resentment and outright hostility by elements of South African National Parks, the police, and even the military he had served with.
With the media, government, conservationists, human rights activists and the people of South Africa looking over his shoulder, Jooste had to battle opponents within and without to see through his strategy for turning the tide of rhino poaching.
Rhino War tells how Jooste, facing an unprecedented assault on a single national park and a species, took a demoralised force of men and women and turned them into arguably the best anti-poaching unit on the African continent.
Told through his eyes and stories of the courage and grit of rangers who daily risked their lives to protect wildlife in the face of a wily and determined foe, this is a story of heroism, sacrifice and determination.
Humbly, honestly and decisively, Jooste tells of the successes and failures of his bold strategy, and shares his vision for the future.

    Ever wondered how “factory farms” came to be, why chicken nuggets were invented, or where the idea of feeding hormones and antibiotics to livestock came from in the first place? 
    The Price of Plenty offers answers that may surprise you, in a compulsively readable and distinctly American tale of abundance, invention, and exceptionalism. 
    Historian Maureen Ogle unfolds the good, the bad, and the ugly behind the nation’s meat-making infrastructure, from colonial cattle wars to the rise of Swift, Armour, and Tyson to today’s alt-cuisine. Tracing consumer desires, profit motives, and policy imperatives, this absorbing narrative shows how an insatiable appetite for meat carved America’s landscape and identity. 
    When white Europeans arrived in North America, the abundance of land enabled meat consumption on a scale unheard of in the Old World. There, an average European was lucky to see meat once a week, while even a poor American consumed about two hundred pounds a year. 
    The panoramic story of how we got from that meat-eater’s paradise to the complexities and contradictions of today is told here through a wide range of sources and records – forming an indispensable guide to the American way of meat and its unexpected consequences.

    Not long ago, J. Matthew Sleeth had a fantastic life and a great job as chief of the medical staff at a large hospital. He was living the American dream—until he saw an increasing number of his patients suffering from cancer, asthma, and other chronic diseases. He began to suspect that the Earth and its inhabitants were in deep trouble. Turning to Jesus for guidance, Sleeth discovered how the scriptural lessons of personal responsibility, simplicity, and stewardship could be applied to modern life. The Sleeths have since sold their big home and given away more than half of what they once owned. In Serve God, Save the Planet, Sleeth shares the joy of adopting a less materialistic, healthier lifestyle, stronger relationships, and richer spiritual lives. With the storytelling ease of James Herriot and the logical clarity of C. S. Lewis, Sleeth lays out the rationale for environmentally responsible life changes and a how-to guide for making those changes.“Creation is groaning. And Matthew Sleeth has responded. Serve God, Save the Planet is not an alarmist call of despair, but a hopeful invitation to re-imagine the way we live. Sleeth’s words have the urgency of an ER crisis coupled with the deep faith that the Church is ready to join God in healing the wounded world.”--Shane Claiborne, activist and author of The Irresistible Revolution.

    Deep learning has revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, enabling computers to perform complex tasks that were once thought to be exclusive to human intelligence. Python, with its rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, has emerged as the language of choice for implementing deep learning algorithms. 
    "Deep Learning with Python: Bridging the Gap for Advanced AI" is a comprehensive guide that takes readers on a journey through the world of deep learning, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to bridge the gap between basic understanding and advanced applications. 
    This book begins with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of deep learning, covering neural networks, deep architectures, and optimization techniques. Readers will explore the building blocks of deep learning with Python, including data preparation and preprocessing, model selection and evaluation, and an in-depth look at popular deep learning libraries and tools like TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch. 
    Moving beyond the basics, the book dives into advanced techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image classification and object detection, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for sequence modeling and language generation, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) for image generation and style transfer. 
    The book also delves into deep learning for natural language processing, covering word embeddings, language modeling, and text classification. It explores transfer learning and deep reinforcement learning, providing insights into how pre-trained models can be leveraged and how deep learning can be applied to solve complex problems in reinforcement learning domains.
