Tidy First? - A Personal...

Kent Beck

Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure of the system in mind.

The New Fire - War Peace and...

Ben Buchanan, Andrew Imbrie

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern world. It is ubiquitous—in our homes and offices, in the present and most certainly in the future. Today, we encounter AI as our distant ancestors once encountered fire. If we manage AI well, it will become a force for good, lighting the way to many transformative inventions. If we deploy it thoughtlessly, it will advance beyond our control. If we wield it for destruction, it will fan the flames of a new kind of war, one that holds democracy in the balance. As AI policy experts Ben Buchanan and Andrew Imbrie show in The New Fire, few choices are more urgent—or more fascinating—than how we harness this technology and for what purpose. 
 
 
  
The new fire has three sparks: data, algorithms, and computing power. These components fuel viral disinformation campaigns, new hacking tools, and military weapons that once seemed like science fiction. To autocrats, AI offers the prospect of centralized control at home and asymmetric advantages in combat. It is easy to assume that democracies, bound by ethical constraints and disjointed in their approach, will be unable to keep up. But such a dystopia is hardly preordained. Combining an incisive understanding of technology with shrewd geopolitical analysis, Buchanan and Imbrie show how AI can work for democracy. With the right approach, technology need not favor tyranny.

For first-time dads, it can feel like standing on the sidelines of a game you don’t understand, holding snacks and anxiety in equal measure. The Pregnant Dad is here to change that. With warmth, humor, and honesty, this modern guide helps men step confidently into one of the most transformative roles of their lives, not just as a father-to-be but as a true partner.
 
From the first ultrasound jitters to the long nights before birth, Calen Vale walks you through the emotional, practical, and often hilarious sides of pregnancy from a dad’s point of view. You’ll learn how to support her when she’s tired, what to actually say during mood swings (and what not to), how to prepare for labor without panicking, and how to keep your sense of self while your world turns upside down.
 
This isn’t a manual, it’s a survival guide with heart. A mix of real talk, relatable humor, and genuine insight that helps you grow alongside the woman you love and the life you’ve created together.
 
Inside, you’ll discover:

How to manage your stress while being her rock
 
How to prepare for delivery day without feeling helpless
 
What to expect emotionally when you finally become Dad
 
How to balance love, partnership, and the chaos of new fatherhood

Lancashire

Francis Archibald Bruton

The county of Lancashire in the north-west of England is best known as the engine room of the nineteenth-century Industrial Revolution. Steering clear of the industrial districts, F. A. Bruton takes the reader on an engaging tour of the county's beauty spots and lesser known landscapes. Taking the view that the charm of a district is nothing without its historical associations, Bruton packs his account with historical detail and literary references to, among others, Leland, Wordsworth, Ruskin, Arnold, and Mrs. Carlyle. (Introduction by Phil Benson)
