For the decade before The Time Machine became a best-seller, H. G. Wells was a bright, lower-middle class youth trying to overcome familial pressure to become a shop clerk. His love for books and knowledge led to an ambition to become a science teacher, and a participant in the scientific debates of the late 19th century. In the wake of Darwinian theories, scientific study had changed, but science education had remained behind. Wells's writings as a young man reveal the controversies over science education in a way that will seem familiar to educations today, while at the same time showing Wells as a young writer of wit and perception.

Welcome to 2030. You'll own nothing, have no privacy, and you'll be happy. . . .For the past two years, since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, we have been told that our old way of life is dead and gone. There can be no return to how things were before. Instead we must embrace a "new normal" in which every aspect of our lives is transformed-the way we live, eat, and work, and the way we are governed, not just by the state, but also by corporations. This is the Great Reset. And the foundation of this plan is a revolution in food.In this groundbreaking book, RAW EGG NATIONALIST lays out the globalist plan for food in detail, for the first time. Using the globalists' own published materials, he reveals the preparations for a new worldwide diet-"The Planetary Health Diet"-that will be almost entirely plant-based. By eliminating animal agriculture, and placing total reliance on genetically modified crops and new alternative forms of protein, the globalists will tighten corporate control of the food supply-and of us. In a startling comparison with the effects of the Neolithic Revolution in agriculture-which he calls "the original Great Reset"-RAW EGG NATIONALIST reveals just how much we have to lose if the globalists should succeed.But this book is no council of despair. RAW EGG NATIONALIST proposes his own alternative vision of fundamental change. Taking his inspiration from Russian household gardening and the new movement for regenerative agriculture, he argues that the future of food, and the key to human flourishing, is actually the past. Instead of allowing ourselves to be alienated yet further from the natural world, we must return to it and to the foods and ways of producing them that made our ancestors strong.Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present RAW EGG NATIONALIST's The Eggs Benedict Option, a manifesto for all those seeking to live a sovereign existence in an age of growing darkness. By nourishing our personal health and fitness, and supporting political change to put the nation and its people first, we can defeat the globalists and regain our true humanity.With an exclusive foreword by Noor Bin Ladin.

Shmeka Gibson PhD, is a native Memphian, with a background in Psychology, data analytics and social services. Changing the Mindset(c) is a proof-of-concept model created that applies cognitive techniques to help people change the way they think to alter their behaviors. Through life we experience many situations that alter our perceptions and behaviors. However, many times we are unaware of how to identify those deficits and target areas that needs immediate attention. I developed the model using the theories of Operant Conditioning, Growth Mindset and Cognitive Psychology. Furthermore, with continued education, interactions in the community, and research, my thought process shifted and my perspective on understanding how people think and behave altered. With this information, I developed a new concept for social services, leadership, economic development, financial literacy, trauma, and health/wellness.

This book is dedicated to what may be the most important concept in human history, namely, the Singularity - what it is, what it is not, the steps by which we may reach it, and, crucially, how to make it more likely that we'll experience a positive singularity rather than a negative singularity. For now, here's a simple definition. The Singularity is the emergence of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and the associated transformation of the human condition. Spoiler alert: that transformation will be profound. But if we're not paying attention, it's likely to be profoundly bad. Despite the importance of the concept of the Singularity, the subject receives nothing like the attention it deserves. When it is discussed, it often receives scorn or ridicule. Alas, you'll hear sniggers and see eyes rolling. That's because there's a kind of shadow around the concept - an unhelpful set of distortions that make it harder for people to fully perceive the real opportunities and the real risks that the Singularity brings. These distortions grow out of a wider confusion - confusion about the complex interplay of forces that are leading society to the adoption of ever-more powerful technologies, including ever-more powerful AI. This book seeks to dispel the confusion, to untangle the distortions, and to attract much more serious attention to the Singularity. The future of humanity is at stake. Reviewer comments "An excellent and detailed introduction to the AI Safety problem, the Singularity, and our options for the future."Roman Yampolskiy, Professor of Computer Science, The University of Louisville "It truly is gratifying to see deep thought on these crucial issues."David Brin, Science fiction author and scientist, Winner of Nebula, Locus, Campbell, and Hugo Awards "One of the most important books that you will read this decade, which David Wood calls 'The Decade of Confusion'. The 2020s bring us to the cusp of a transformation in human civilization quite unlike any we have previously experienced. David's book is an essential handbook to aid you in navigating this transformation."Ted Shelton, Expert Partner, Automation and Digital Innovation, Bain and Company "David's book provides a powerful overview of what's ahead of us, and thoughtfully describes the opportunities and challenges brought on by the rise of exponential technologies. A must-read for anyone that is looking to increase their Future-Readiness."Gerd Leonhard, Futurist, CEO The Futures Agency, Author and Film Maker, The Good Future "I have followed David's work for nearly twenty years. It's great to see him taking his thinking to the next level. AGI is arriving faster than many expected. It's vital to raise the calibre of the discussion on AGI and on the Singularity. That's what this timely, valuable book achieves."Ajit Jaokar, Visiting Fellow and Course Director, Artificial Intelligence: Cloud and Edge Implementations, >"David Wood is a man of great intellect which shines through in this erudite analysis of the potential benefits and costs of cataclysmically disruptive technologies. David's Singularity Principles provide a strong basis for the critical tasks of the anticipation and management of alternative outcomes. I commend this book most warmly to friends and colleagues alike."Hugh Shields, Chairman and Founder, The Centre for Research into AI and Mankind "The Singularity Principles is an absorbing, comprehensive overview of the challenges I truly believe we will soon face as AGI arrives. Are we intellectually and emotionally ready to have serious discussions about it?"Patty O'Callaghan, Google's Women Techmakers Ambassador

The most professional and industry relatable text currently available for linear interest rate derivatives.Written by a practicing derivatives portfolio manager with almost twenty years of fixed income trading experience, this book focuses on core trading concepts; pricing, curve building (single and multi-currency), risk, credit and CSAs, regulations, VaR and PCA, volatility, cross-gamma, trade strategy analysis and market moving influences.The book's focus is interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps, updated for a risk free rate (RFR, such as SOFR and ESTR) framework as opposed to LIBOR. Topics are presented from that perspective, outlining the importance of regulations in an IRD capacity, with volatility and swaptions taught from a practical point of view rather than an overly cumbersome academic one. This third edition (2022) markedly expands the second (2017), by not only providing extensive analysis but also building up a modern codebase, step-by-step, in Python. It constructs and solves interest rate curves and goes on to implement risk and cross-gamma calculations, demonstrating the implementation of automatic differentiation for superior efficiency.

Formal analysis of market-maker techniques to accurately predict PnL, and implement multiple models to view all details of risks.Almost everything included here is compulsory knowledge for a modern, successful, swaps trader or interest rate risk portfolio manager. Certainly this book sets the benchmark for the level of expertise that swaps traders should strive for, and the style is aimed at the novice and professional alike.
