Bird Talk
A hilarious, informative, and vibrantly illustrated guide to 101 bird songs that sound surprisingly familiar. Have you ever gone for a walk in the woods and wondered what bird was making a sound like a siren going off, or somebody revving a chainsaw engine—or sneezing? Do you hear birds every day, in the park or your neighborhood, but never know quite what you are listening to? Birds are singing all around us, and author and illustrator Becca Rowland, aka Girl in White Glasses, connects the dots between their songs and the birds who make them, helping you to easily identify and remember their calls. Combining illustrations of common and rare birds with fascinating facts and whimsical descriptions of their calls, this book is full of humor and charm. From space lasers to cheeseburgers, Bird Talk introduces you to the weird and wonderful world of bird songs.

Mosquito
'Captivating' Daily Telegraph'Stunning' James Holland'Superb' Daily Express'Wonderful' John Nichol'Remarkable' RAF News_________________________________Built of lightweight wood, powered by two growling Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, impossibly aerodynamic, headspinningly fast and armed to the teeth, the de Havilland Mosquito was the war-winning wonder that should never have existed: the aircraft the RAF didn't think it wanted then couldn't do without. Flying on operations barely eighteen months after a single prototype was ordered off the drawing board, it was the answer to its pilots' prayers: a stunningly versatile warplane capable of leaving the Luftwaffe in its wake to attack when and where the enemy was least expecting it. Excelling as a spyplane, night-fighter and pathfinder for Bomber Command's heavies the Mossie's reputation was cemented by a series of daredevil bombing raids across occupied Europe, including on Berlin itself, where only surprise, speed and precision could ensure success. So when Churchill's top secret Special Operations Executive needed to destroy the Gestapo HQ in the centre of downtown Copenhagen to prevent a devastating Nazi last stand that might prolong the war for many months, there was only one machine for the job. This is the story of that legendary aircraft told through that one impossible mission. Like Rowland White's previous books, Mosquito is an unputdownable mix of utterly compelling storytelling, incredible human stories and fascinating technological detail, which sheds never-before-told light on a pivotal mission that helped bring the war to its bloody and brutal close. _________________________________Praise for Mosquito'10/10' Helen Fry'Excellent ... provides thrilling accounts' The Past'A brilliant read' Army Rumour Service Book Club'A triumph' Damcasters podcast'A tremendous book ... can't recommend it more highly' We Have Ways podcast'An addictive, moving and tenaciously researched tale ... his best book to date' Flypast'Mosquito reads like a thriller...

Game Theory in the Age of AI
Game Theory in the Age of AI: How AI is Redefining Strategy and Decision-Making Artificial intelligence is changing the way the world thinks about strategy. From self-learning algorithms that master chess and Go to intelligent agents that negotiate, trade, and defend, machines are beginning to understand competition, cooperation, and conflict in ways once reserved for humans. Beneath every decision made by an AI system lies a logic that game theory has been exploring for decades. This book brings together the mathematical beauty of game theory and the practical power of artificial intelligence to reveal how machines learn to make strategic choices. It explains how concepts like equilibrium, adaptation, and learning shape everything from games and economics to security and social systems. Along the way, readers will discover how AI interprets complex interactions, optimizes outcomes, and models the balance between individual goals and collective good. Game Theory in the Age of AI goes beyond algorithms and equations to explore the ethical and societal dimensions of strategic reasoning. It asks how machines can make fair decisions, how they can foster cooperation in competitive settings, and how their growing influence might reshape the future of human judgment itself. This is a book for anyone curious about the logic behind intelligent decision-making and the profound ways AI is rewriting the rules of strategy in the modern world.

Wie der Hase teilen lernte
Loewe-Bücher: garantiert ohne KI Lieber lange Tische als hohe Zäune! Einst lebten Tiere ohne Sorgen, von einem grünen Wald verborgen. So blieb es und war schön, bis dann der Wind sich drehte und alle Früchte zu Hases Haus hinwehte. Auf einmal hat der Hase das ganze Essen. Aber statt zu teilen, behält er einfach alles für sich und zieht einen hohen Zaun um die Leckerbissen. Bald jedoch merkt der Hase, dass der Zaun nicht nur die anderen Tiere ausschließt, sondern vor allem ihn selbst einschließt. Ob er seinen Fehler wieder gutmachen kann? Ein einfühlsam gereimtes Bilderbuch über die Freuden des Teilens und darüber, was wirklich glücklich macht. - Verstehen Kinder ab 3 Jahren schon das Thema "Teilen" oder ist das noch zu abstrakt? Die Geschichte verpackt das wichtige Thema als moderne Tier-Fabel anschaulich, sodass Kinder spielerisch lernen, wie viel schöner es ist, mit anderen zu teilen, statt alles allein haben zu müssen.- Wie ist der Text in Wie der Hase teilen lernte geschrieben? Das Buch setzt auf lebendige, einfühlsame Reime mit einem humorvollen Augenzwinkern, die sich wunderbar vorlesen lassen, zum Mitsprechen anregen und im Gedächtnis bleiben.- Ist die Geschichte belehrend geschrieben? Nein, die Botschaft wird sehr sensibel, humorvoll und ohne Zwang vermittelt, bietet aber zugleich Anlass für entspannte Gespräche über die Bedürfnisse von sich selbst und anderen und fördert ganz nebenbei Sozialkompetenz und Empathie.- Wie sind die Bilder in Wie der Hase teilen lernte gezeichnet? Die atmosphärischen und bunten Illustrationen im wunderschönen Waldsetting laden zum Entdecken ein und als besonderes Highlight enthält das Buch sogar eine große Ausklappseite.- Was ist die Aussage der Geschichte? Durch die emotionale Wendung, bei der der Hase merkt, dass sein Zaun ihn selbst einsperrt, bleibt die Geschichte fesselnd und zeigt nachhaltig, was wirklich glücklich macht.
