  Our AI - My Journey Your...

  Our AI is a human story about artificial intelligence, offering a seat at the table for anyone curious, cautious, or already in deep. It is the AI Book for People Who Don't Want to Read About AI (but also kind of do). 
  When I discovered ChatGPT, I didn't study it, I just used it and built my work around it. Like millions of others, I jumped in without understanding what I was getting into. 
  Then the headlines got darker, AI blackmailing researchers, jobs disappearing overnight. Something that felt helpful suddenly felt... complicated. 
  Our AI isn't another tech explainer. It's a personal story about what happens when you fall for something you don't fully understand and then realise you need to.  
  As a community worker, I've spent my career helping people find their voice in decisions that affect their lives. When AI started reshaping everything, I recognised a familiar pattern: big promises up front, while early consequences start appearing (some jobs already disappearing, data centres straining resources, opportunities concentrating in fewer hands). I've seen this before in other systems, and I know where it leads if communities don't have a voice.  
  This is my personal journey, and I don't just stay in algorithms and AI.  I follow the trail from a rural Australian caravan park to mines in Congo, from city sewers to satellites, from community meetings to corporate boardrooms. It's unpredictable, sometimes funny, always honest, and it connects dots you might not expect.   
  This isn't about doomsday predictions or technical jargon. It's about recognising patterns, asking better questions, and finding your voice in conversations shaping our future, with or without us. 
  This book is your invitation. AI is here whether we like it or not. The question isn't whether to engage, but whether we just get swept along or have say in how it shapes us. This is my story of figuring that out, and an invitation for you to do the same.

  Nowhere Left to Go - How Climate...

  Harrowing journeys of animals and plants—fleeing skyrocketing temperatures—reported from the frontlines of the greatest migration of species since the Ice Age. 
   
   
   
  As humans accelerate global warming while laying waste to the environment, animals and plants must flee to the margins: on scattered nature reserves, between major highways, or among urban sprawl. And when even these places become too hot and inhospitable, wildlife is left with only one path to survival: an often-formidable journey toward the poles as they race to find a new home in a warming world. Tropical zones lose their inhabitants, beavers settle in Alaska, and gigantic shoals of fish disappear—just to reappear along foreign coastlines. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning environmental journalist Benjamin von Brackel traces these awe-inspiring journeys and celebrates the remarkable resilience of species around the world. But the lengths these plants and animals must go to avoid extinction are as alarming as they are inspirational: Sea animals—like fish—move on average forty-five miles a decade to cooler regions, while land animals—like beavers and butterflies—move eleven miles. As even the poles of the Earth heat up, we're left with a stark and irreversible choice: Halt the climate emergency now, or face a massive die-off of species, who are increasingly left with nowhere else to go.

  Imagined Life - A Speculative...

  The captivating possibilities of extraterrestrial life on exoplanets, based on current scientific knowledge of existing worlds and forms of life 
   
   
   
  It is now known that we live in a galaxy with more planets than stars. The Milky Way alone encompasses 30 trillion potential home planets. Scientists Trefil and Summers bring listeners on a marvelous experimental voyage through the possibilities of life—unlike anything we have experienced so far—that could exist on planets outside our own solar system. 
   
   
   
  Life could be out there in many forms: on frozen worlds, living in liquid oceans beneath ice and communicating (and even battling) with bubbles; on super-dense planets, where they would have evolved body types capable of dealing with extreme gravity; on tidally locked planets with one side turned eternally toward a star; and even on "rogue worlds," which have no star at all. Yet this is no fictional flight of fancy: the authors take what we know about exoplanets and life on our own world and use that data to hypothesize about how, where, and which sorts of life might develop. Imagined Life is a must-have for anyone wanting to learn how the realities of our universe may turn out to be far stranger than fiction.

  Cracking Hitler's Atlantic Wall...

  A military historian analyzes the ingenious WWII tanks known as Hobart’s Funnies, detailing their development and their role in the D-Day campaign. When the British and Canadians landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, they were accompanied by specialized armored vehicles designed to remove German obstacles and mines. Developed by the Royal Engineers, these tanks known as Hobart's Funnies featured a range of ingenious innovations, from carpet-laying and bridge-laying devices to a giant 290-millimeter mortar.   Examining these vehicles from technical development to combat deployment, military historian Richard C. Anderson Jr. gives a minute-by-minute account of D-Day's early hours on Sword, Juno, and Gold Beaches—the critical moments when success hinged on the assault engineers’ ability to  clear a path or breach the seawall.   Anderson also describes the events on Omaha and Utah Beaches, where U.S. troops, despite being offered these vehicles, stormed ashore without them. Through careful comparison of conditions and outcomes, Anderson assesses the vehicles’ performance and impact on D-Day's successes and failures.
