'The Wealth Habit shows how small, well-designed behaviours, repeated consistently, create extraordinary financial outcomes over time.' - Steven Bartlett, The Diary of a CEO Wealth doesn't start with money, it starts with a habit. Most people think that wealth is reserved for the lucky few-those born into privilege, gifted with an entrepreneurial streak, or naturally skilled with money. But the truth is, financial success isn't about luck-it's about habits. The Wealth Habit is a groundbreaking, behaviour-driven approach to wealth-building that rewires the way you think about money, turning financial success into a series of tiny, effortless, repeatable actions. Instead of overwhelming readers with rigid budgets or complex investment strategies, this book reveals how small, daily financial moves compound into life-changing wealth - no matter where you start. Whether you're struggling with money, looking to break free from the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, or searching for a stress-free, automated way to build wealth, this book gives you a clear, habit-based roadmap to make financial success inevitable. Start small. Repeat often. Let the habit lead the way.

Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics

This book provides a rigorous and comprehensive exposition of vectors and vector fields, designed for advanced undergraduate students in physics. It presents detailed derivations of essential vector identities, relations involving quantum vector operators, and vector calculus theorems commonly encountered in undergraduate and graduate physics coursework. A complete catalogue of vector identities—spanning both classical and quantum contexts—is presented using index notation and the Einstein summation convention, fostering fluency with tensorial methods and streamlining complex derivations.
Core topics include vector algebra, differential and integral vector calculus, and three-dimensional Taylor expansions, supported by careful treatments of the essential underlying mathematical tools. Advanced subjects—such as the Dirac delta function, Green’s functions, multipole expansions, and Cartesian tensors—are introduced with a balance of formal clarity and pedagogical accessibility. A dedicated chapter on tensor transformations, invariants, and the Levi-Civita and Kronecker symbols offers a foundation for further study in areas such as general relativity and quantum field theory. Each chapter contains numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems, all accompanied by complete solutions, making the text well-suited for both structured coursework and independent study.

Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night’s Rest

How to Sleep Like a Caveman

AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Evenhanded and insightful.”&nbsp; —Publisher’s Weekly (starred review) “An accessible, often fascinating primer.... Essential, illuminating reading.” —Kirkus From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Digital Doctor comes an engaging, clear-eyed, and ultimately hopeful examination of healthcare’s efforts to embrace generative artificial intelligence. In A Giant Leap, physician and thought leader Robert Wachter navigates between hype and skepticism to make a compelling case for AI’s power to transform healthcare. He argues that, in a system buckling under the weight of bureaucratic pressures, soaring costs, and clinician burnout, AI doesn’t need to be perfect—it only needs to be better. Drawing on extensive research and more than 100 interviews with pioneers across medicine, technology, policy, and business, Wachter shows how AI is already entering hospitals and clinics to draft notes, field patient questions, recommend treatments, interpret images, and guide surgeries. He unflinchingly confronts risks like hallucinations, biases, and misinformation, while revealing how AI can now match, and sometimes surpass, physicians in areas ranging from diagnosis to empathy. But this isn’t simply a technology story. It’s about the human choices that will determine whether AI becomes healthcare’s salvation or another source of harm and frustration.&nbsp; Blending clinical insight, vivid storytelling, and journalistic precision, A Giant Leap offers an indispensable roadmap for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and patients. It&nbsp;is a vibrant and timely account of how AI is changing what it means to care—and be cared for—in this age of astonishing technology.

A Giant Leap

Spinning the Cosmic Web is a textbook on modern cosmology with an observational focus using only elementary calculus and statistics. The observational approach facilitates including the often-neglected formation and evolution of galaxies in dark matter halos, forming the cosmic web and crucial to understanding the interconnection between the observed galaxy distribution and the underlying dark matter structure - the bias.

The book is divided into ten chapters. The book's first half focuses on cosmic web, while the second half deals with galaxies and their evolution within the cosmic web. After a short introduction to the contemporary cosmological paradigm in a historical context, we discuss the current observations of the Universe and its constituents. Further chapters will dive gradually into the non-linear process and the physics of the cosmic web. The classical view on cosmology is described quantitatively using the correlation function of galaxies. The growth of the modern view on cosmology is manifested by the understanding that dark matter and dark energy are important components of matter-energy content of the Universe.

'Excellent' New York Times 'An instant classic. . . Hamlet but with goats everywhere' Washington Post 'Beautifully weird, eerie, unexpected - a story for our times' Kevin Barry 'A work of genius. Eradication is a beautiful and devastating novel' Luke Kennard 'A deft, unsettling exploration of what it means to play God' Maria Reva A moving fable in which a grieving man, confronts a broken world on an island overpopulated by goats. Reeling from tragedy, a former jazz musician-turned-schoolteacher named Adi answers a job listing advertising a chance to save the world. The assignment: to spend five weeks alone on the tiny, isolated Pacific Island of Santa Flora and reckon with its invasive population of goats that's sent the ecological balance severely out of whack.. What follows, however, is anything but balanced. The threats to the once-Edenic island, Adi soon learns, aren't exactly what his employers said they were - and, complicating things further, he discovers he's not alone on the island. Fearful for his own life, and for the fate of the island, Adi spends his sun-drenched days rooting out the true threat to Santa Flora, and, by extension, to the world it occupies - and the desperate steps he must take to eradicate it. Eradication is an utterly unforgettable reading experience and the work of a truly singular imagination.

A “magnificent” (Science) exploration of how genetics complicates our ideas about blame, punishment, and moral responsibility, from acclaimed psychologist and author of The Genetic Lottery Kathryn Paige Harden. “Not a dry, restrained, contained scientific inquiry but a daring, complex, sometimes confounding and ultimately powerful tapestry of a book.”—The New York Times Book Review As one of the world’s leading scientists examining how our DNA shapes differences in temperament, temptation, and behavior, Kathryn Paige Harden has seen firsthand how we continue to struggle—in public and in our most private relationships—with the ancient tensions between nature and nurture, freedom and constraint, the desire to punish and the longing to forgive. In Original Sin, she weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife, and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other—or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete? Navigating the psychological and biological terrain of addiction, antisocial behavior, and violence, Harden confronts the disorienting ways science unsettles our understanding of wrongdoing and choice. In doing so, she asks us not to absolve but to reckon differently with notions of fairness and blame. A revelatory inquiry into the uneasy space where human behavior meets inherited biology, Original Sin challenges us to imagine a more humane vision of accountability—for ourselves and for one another.
