This book breaks through both the hype and the doom-and-gloom surrounding automation and the deployment of artificial intelligence-enabled—“smart”—systems at work. Management and technology experts Thomas Davenport and Steven Miller show that, contrary to widespread predictions, prescriptions, and denunciations, AI is not primarily a job destroyer. Rather, AI changes the way we work—by taking over some tasks but not entire jobs, freeing people to do other, more important and more challenging work.

Years pass without a word and the McKnowns, coping with their grief, are slowly rebuilding their lives.

Though Heidi’s voice comes through in a séance, Underhill is convinced it’s a fake.

About “The Final Case,” Doctor Scofield, Captain Underhill’s personal physician, comments, “A most interesting case study. It is both sad and ironic that the mental affliction Captain Underhill used to pretend to suffer from: that of being senile, was ultimately the very thing that laid him low. And yet, in the annals of crime solving, if this final case does nothing else, it proves the kind of natural-born sleuth my good friend, Waverly, was.”

Trauma can either be used as a catalyst for growth, sparking empathy and a closer relationship with God, or as fuel for shame, avoidance, and isolation. Many veterans and first responders know firsthand the toll that trauma can take but lack the knowledge of how to grow from it and move forward.

This is a quick-to-read, small book of reports gathered by my late father. He had originally started as an amateur Bigfoot researcher but became increasingly interested in the mystery of the Dogman phenomenon and began looking into both when he could. This book was made from a few reports and some commentary and analysis of what was reported. The reports are what people said they saw. In this book, the reports are relayed as they were reported and accompanied by the comments and notes my father wrote down pertaining to each report he was given. Was it a Bigfoot? Was it a Dogman? Was it ...

A meteor explodes in the summertime sky over Cape Cod, and a man is struck dead by a flying fragment.

Most histories of the US Army in World War II view the Mediterranean Theater of Operations primarily as a deadly training ground for very green forces, where lessons learned on the beaches of Oran, in the hills of the Kasserine Pass area, and at the collapse of the Tunis bridgehead all contributed to later success in Western Europe. Steven Barry, however, contends that victory in the MTO would not have materialized without the leadership of battalion-level commanders. They operated at a high level, despite the lack of combat experience for themselves and their troops.
