Summary

Topaz Growth explores the fascinating world of topaz formation, delving into the geological and geochemical processes that give rise to this popular gemstone. The book emphasizes how trace elements, incorporated during crystal growth within igneous rocks and granitic magmas, profoundly influence topaz coloration, creating the spectrum of yellows, pinks, and blues.

 
Readers will discover how geological conditions impact topaz's physical properties, providing valuable insights into broader Earth Sciences. The book investigates the specific geochemical parameters, such as temperature gradients and pressure regimes, necessary for topaz crystallization in fluorine-rich environments. It presents original geochemical data and analytical techniques to support arguments concerning trace element sources and their relationship to color.

 
Revealing how post-formational processes, like radiation exposure, can alter topaz, the book highlights the stone's journey through geological time. Beginning with fundamental mineralogy and geochemistry principles, the book systematically progresses through the geological context of topaz formation and the influence of specific trace elements.

 
Topaz Growth is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and gemstone enthusiasts, offering practical insights into gem identification, provenance, and ethical sourcing within Earth Sciences.

Sleep Sounds 4 Fall Asleep...

Walkercrest

Welcome to a night of Deep Refreshing Sleep 
This Audiobook gives you a bundle of two 12 hour programs. 
The programs begin after a short narration of guided imagery to prepare you for sleep. 
Program One: 12 hours of the sounds of a Mountain Stream and the Soothing Tones of Calming Classical Music. 
Program Two: 12 hours of just the sounds of a Mountain Stream without the classical music. 
The musical tones are serene arrangements of the most-loved, composers: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and more. 
The producer of the audiobook is an award-winning sound designer and composer. When he and his wife struggled with sleep apnea, he searched for an audio program that would help. "I mostly found cheap sound effects with repetitive, looping tones. Granted, my background makes me a little picky, but I found these programs more annoying than relaxing." 
So he set out to record the best sounds he could find. The ocean waves, rain, thunder, streams and waterfalls are all original recordings. 
Next, he experimented with tones. This program is the first to include arrangements of beautiful classical music. "I have produced over twenty experimental programs now and have had sleep doctors, patients, as well as my own friends and family members try them on. This current series of “Sleep Sounds" has been very well received and has been proven to be the most effective by the largest number of people."

Human-Centered AI

Ben Shneiderman

Researchers, developers, business leaders, policy makers, and others are expanding the technology-centered scope of artificial intelligence (AI) to include human-centered AI (HCAI) ways of thinking. This expansion from an algorithm-focused view to embrace a human-centered perspective can shape the future of technology to better serve human needs.The remarkable progress in algorithms for machine and deep learning have opened the doors to new opportunities, and some dark possibilities. However, as many technology companies and thought leaders have said, the goal is not to replace people, but to empower them by making design choices that give humans control over technology.In Human-Centered AI, Professor Ben Shneiderman aims to produce an optimistic, realistic, guide to how artificial intelligence can be used to augment and enhance humans' lives. This project bridges the gap between ethical considerations and practical realities to make successful, reliable systems. Digital cameras, communications services, and navigation apps are just the beginning. Shneiderman shows how future applications will support health and wellness, improve education, accelerate business, and connect people in reliable, safe, and trustworthy ways that respect human values, rights, justice, and dignity.
