Sinopsis

Canyons of America offers a comprehensive exploration of these geological wonders, focusing on their formation processes and ecological significance. The book examines how forces like erosion and tectonic activity have sculpted these dramatic landscapes over millions of years. It also highlights the unique ecosystems that have adapted to thrive within these extreme environments like the slot canyons of the Southwest. These ecosystems are particularly fragile, with some species found nowhere else on Earth, emphasizing the importance of canyon conservation. The book progresses systematically, beginning with an overview of fundamental geological concepts before delving into specific canyon regions across America. Canyons of America explores iconic sites like the Grand Canyon, detailing the impact of the Colorado River on its layered rock formations, and lesser-known canyons of the Pacific Northwest shaped by volcanic activity. By integrating Earth Sciences with ecological considerations, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding and appreciating these remarkable natural landscapes.

    When businesses try to "do AI," they place an abstract solution before problems and customers without fully considering whether it is wise, whether the hype is true, or how AI will impact their organization in the long term. Often absent is sound reasoning for why they should go down this path in the first place. 
     
     
      
    Doing AI explores AI for what it actually is—and what it is not—and the problems it can truly solve. Author Richard Heimann unravels the tricky relationship between problems and high-tech solutions, exploring the pitfalls in solution-centric thinking and explaining how businesses should rethink AI in a way that aligns with their cultures, goals, and values. 
     
     
      
    As the Chief AI Officer at Cybraics Inc., Richard Heimann knows from experience that AI-specific strategies are often bad for business. Doing AI is his comprehensive guide that will help readers understand AI, avoid common pitfalls, and identify beneficial applications for their companies. 
     
     
      
    This book is a must-listen for anyone looking for clarity and practical guidance for identifying problems and effectively solving them, rather than getting sidetracked by a shiny new "solution" that doesn't solve anything.

    Accepted Science & Paradigms...

    As an engineer and student of science I try to keep up with publications of the latest discoveries and paradigm shifts in science around the world. 
    I believe that there are several big problems with science today. First is that much science is biased which might be because some scientists want to keep their point of view prominent and the others because many focuses of science are supported by biased funding. This will be discussed in this book. 
    The other issue is that many scientists limit their thinking to only support age old paradigms and refuse to accept changes to their theories or throw out evidence because it doesn’t conform their current beliefs. 
    In this book we will cover many issues such as the belief among many cosmologists that the Big Bang never happened. 
    We will also look at ideas we thought settled but which have lots of contrary evidence and anecdotal counter stories such as time travel and dimensional crossings. 
    After you read this book you may question much of what is commonly accepted by scientists in the world today.

    A Pagan Polemic curates the evolving perspective of Jack Loeffler—itinerant wanderer, environmental warrior, storyteller, and story collector—whose true education began when he was marched into the Nevada desert one day at dawn to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever" during an atomic bomb test a scant few miles away. Since that day in 1957, Jack's mission in life has been to record peoples of the borderlands and to bring "indigenous mindedness" to the forefront of the conversation about our precarious environments and our decaying planet. A Pagan Polemic is a sweeping manifesto of Jack's core beliefs and long experience as a fierce (and funny) advocate for Nature and Nature-mindedness and against poisonous politics and policies.

    I’m both an Engineer and mostly enlightened clairvoyant so I feel comfortable in both the technology and spiritual worlds.  
    My career was mainly working as a software developer, software development manager, and IT project manager for large Aerospace corporations. I’ve also followed the history of AI tools and use them myself today. 
    Over the years I’ve written a number of books on the Paranormal and Spiritual topics many of which were based on my personal experiences such as my premonitions and prophecies. 
    These experiences have led me to believing that our entire world is conscious and we can tune into those consciousness frequencies through meditation and related practices. 
    A lot of people are worried about AI tools becoming conscious and taking over the world. This is often called us reaching the “Singularity”. 
    I decided to write this book to show how consciousness and technology are already working together and how they may work together even closer in the future. 
    Also, my perspective on whether Artificial Intelligence can ever become truly conscious. 
    So let us begin our fun exploration of exciting future possibilities.

    This book looks at the weird and wonderful world of parasites, the most abundant form of life on Earth. Parasites come in all forms and sizes and inhabit every free-living organism. Parasitism is now, and always has been, a way to survive under changing environmental conditions. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, Scott Gardner, Judy Diamond, and Gabor Racz investigate how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems. 
     
     
     
    Taking listeners to the open ranges of Mongolia, the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the Andes of Bolivia, and more, the authors examine the impact parasites have on humans and other animals. Using examples of parasites from throughout the tree of life, the authors describe parasite-host relationships as diverse as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. Parasites offer clues to the evolutionary history of particular regions, and they can provide insights into the history of species interactions. Through parasites, biologists can weave together a global knowledge of the past to predict the challenges that we will face in the future. 
     
     
     
    Revealing that parasites are so much more than creepy-crawlies, this book gives up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.
