Synopsis

Moon Phases Explained explores the captivating science behind the moon's changing appearance and its profound influence on Earth. This book systematically unravels the mysteries of lunar cycles, detailing the geometrical relationships between the Sun, Earth, and Moon that create the familiar phases, from the new moon to the full moon. Discover how these phases impact our planet, influencing tidal patterns, animal behavior, and even plant growth.

 
The book begins with foundational concepts like celestial mechanics and gravitational forces, progressing through a detailed explanation of the lunar phases themselves, supported by diagrams and illustrations. It then investigates the Moon's influence on Earth, including tidal forces and effects on marine life. Finally, it explores the cultural and historical significance of the Moon, looking at lunar calendars, mythology, and folklore.

 
Did you know that lunar phase information can be used by coastal communities to better manage tidal patterns, or that farmers can optimize planting schedules based on lunar cycles? The book emphasizes that understanding lunar cycles provides valuable insights into Earth's interconnected ecosystems. By blending scientific accuracy with relatable examples, Moon Phases Explained offers a clear and accessible exploration of lunar science for students, amateur astronomers, and anyone curious about the moon's impact on our world, making it a valuable resource in the realm of Earth Sciences and Geography.

    The separation of planning from doing and the preoccupation with administration, contracts, and scheduling over designing and building has been disastrous for construction. Lawyers, planners, risk managers, schedulers, and other administrative roles impede the ability of architects, engineers, and craftspeople—the professionals who design and build the things society needs to function. It isn’t just a matter of getting things done on time—if you’re the owner of an asset, manage a construction company, or invest in a project, overcoming these limitations is critical to your ability to compete and profit.Todd Zabelle, a recognized expert, construction CEO, and one of the founders of the lean construction movement, looks critically at each aspect of the industry, from production to construction to design to deployment to what the future holds, deftly analyzing where we’ve gone wrong and offering concrete, clear-eyed solutions for how to fix it.Zabelle’s incisive wit and pulls-no-punches honesty are a refreshing antidote to the bland, overly polite, vacuous dialogue of board meetings and academic conferences. Speaking from the heart—and informed by over thirty years of experience in all facets of the industry—Zabelle delivers a much-needed wakeup call at a time when it’s needed most.

    Since Alan Turing first posed the question "Can machines think?" artificial intelligence has evolved from a speculative idea to a transformative force. The Shortest History of AI traces this evolution, from Ada Lovelace's visionary work to IBM's groundbreaking defeat of the chess world champion and the revolutionary emergence of ChatGPT. It also explores AI's cultural journey, touching on classics such as Frankenstein, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. 
     
    Revealing how many "overnight" successes were decades in the making, this accessible and illuminating book helps us to understand how AI functions by explaining the six key ideas that animate it: it searches for answers using predetermined symbols and means-end analysis; it bases its answers on what sort of response it thinks it will get; it follows a set of rules in order to simulate human expertise; it copies the human brain by learning from experience; it uses reinforcement learning, rewarding its own successes and punishing itself for its failures; and it uses Bayes' theorem to calculate the probability of a cause based on its effect. 
     
    Fast-paced and rich with facts, The Shortest History of AI equips listeners to understand where we've been—and where we're headed.
