  Marooned in LA by the pandemic, a marine biologist rediscovers the delights and wonders of the natural world in her own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Conservationist and marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi made her career studying the wild creatures of the deep, but when COVID-19 made landfall on the California coast this seafaring scientist found herself shuttered up ashore, her wide blue world constricted by pandemic lockdown. Never good at sitting idle, she despaired at the confines of her Los Angeles flat—until she began to find wonder in the wilderness of her own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA. With a green thumb and a canine sidekick, she finds as much to marvel at in her garden's singing blackbirds, night-blooming cacti, and industrious wasps as in the whales, dolphins, and sea lions at the center of her maritime adventures. Discovering in the quotidian an antidote to the grief occasioned by captivity and climate chaos, Bearzi reveals how each of us can take heart, find courage, and discover inspiration in the thrumming systems of life that surround us. With a scientist's precision and a poet's instinct, she invites us to look at, listen to, and revel in the everyday grandeur of the natural world—and to embrace, with urgency, our responsibility to sustain it.

  As China rises to true superpower status, the United States must take immediate action to catch up in AI capabilities—or facefall disastrously behind technologically, economically, and militarily. 
   
   
   
  Over the past decade, China has quietly and methodically moved into a near-leadership position in artificial intelligence technologies on a global scale. Meanwhile, the United States has responded ineffectively, weighed down by politics, bureaucracy, and an absence of clear strategy. 
   
   
   
  In the near future, wars will be fought not over land, but over data. Machines will quickly discover individualized treatments for diseases, and with the help of virtual reality, AI will inspect buildings that have not yet been built. With the rising interest in these technologies by both China and the US, who will emerge as the victor of this technological race? 
   
   
   
  When AI Rules the World is an investigation and call to action into AI technologies for a nation that does not yet comprehend the full gravity of the AI revolution. The United States is losing the race for AI dominance, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

  The nerd's ultimate guide for turning technical knowledge into compelling and effective messaging 
  Every tech founder who tries to get the message out about their product knows the moment they've lost their audience. Blank stares come from the people you need most to buy into your message or understand your concepts. Without the ability to effectively explain technical concepts to a nontechnical audience, data points and all your knowledge become a hindrance instead of a relevant message. Even when you nail every technical concept in your pitch, if your messaging isn't delivered in a way that becomes relevant to the listener, they won't pick up what you're putting down. 
  For two decades, MessageSpecs Consulting founder Joel Benge has been helping tech nerds ditch boring IT pitches in favor of authentic people-first messaging without getting caught in jargon. Combining classical philosophy and modern neuroscience, Be a Nerd That Talks Good guides tech nerds on how to tell their story and connect with audiences. Inspired by Aristotle's rhetoric, Joel uses his MessageSpecs heart, head, and gut model to teach you how to balance your messaging and use emotion, logic, and credibility to get noticed, be understood, and accomplish goals. 
  If you're a tech nerd ready to go from oversharing and underselling your tech to communicating with confidence, Be a Nerd That Talks Good bridges the gap between deep technical knowledge and clear, effective messaging, turning those blank stares into blank checks.

  The Fate of the World

  Why past climate change tells us it's almost too late.  
  A warning and a rallying-cry. 
  'Read it and weep, or read it and win' Chris Packham 
  A global refugee crisis. Extreme storms. Agriculture devastated. Economic ruin. Societal collapse. These are not just possibilities but likely outcomes of our ongoing failure to stem greenhouse gas emissions — and in our lifetimes. This alarming book explains why. 
  The Fate of the World is a 4.6-billion-year history of the Earth, putting contemporary global heating in the context of geological epochs and periods to reveal what past climate change can tell us about our planet’s future. It highlights with unflinching realism how what’s happening now compares with what happened in deep time — and explains the devastating impacts that are now more likely than not. 
  Renowned expert Bill McGuire reveals that our climate already all but matches that of the last interglacial period — the Eemian — when sea levels were 6 to 9 metres higher, and that it is on track to mimic the Pliocene period, when giant camels roamed the Arctic, as soon as the 2030s. Later this century, parts of our world could be experiencing double-figure temperature rises as we continue to wind the clock back 50 million years in a couple of centuries — and without urgent preparation, our civilization is very poorly placed to survive. 
  Notwithstanding the urgency of the message, this is a hopeful book. The future will be forbidding, but every tonne of carbon we do not emit will make it less so. We can all do our bit, and we must. 
  If you read just one book on the climate crisis, make it this one. 
  FAILED TO RUN THIS ONE 
  For fans of Tim Marshall (Prisoners of Geography), David Wallace-Wells (The Uninhabitable Earth), Mark Maslin (Climate Change), Lawrence Maxwell Krauss (The Physics of Climate Change), and Mike Berners-Lee (A Climate of Truth).
