NOTE: this is the Traditional Chinese version of this book. A Simplified Chinese version is also available. A young boy shares a little house in Beijing with 23 cats. His friend comes to visit, but the two of them can't sit down, can't study, and can't even eat dinner together because of all the cats. What to do? The answer, which involves a very large dog, will surprise and delight you. This wonderful little tale is for beginning Chinese students of all ages. Its tiny vocabulary of just 101 words is taken from the HSK1 list of words used to teach beginning students of Chinese. Each page of Traditional Chinese is faced by an opposite page of pinyin (phonetic spelling), so if a reader gets stuck on an unfamiliar word they can check it against the pinyin. A complete glossary and English translation is in the back of the book, and a free audiobook is available on YouTube and can be downloaded from the Imagin8 Press website. Twenty Three Cats is written by Jeff Pepper, best-selling author of the multi-volume Journey to the West series for beginning and intermediate Chinese readers, and many other books including innovative translations of the Chinese classics Dao De Jing, San Zi Jing, and The Art of War. REVIEWS FROM CHINESE TEACHERS: "Twenty Three Cats is a very cute story, an easy read for beginning Chinese learners. Repetitions in the vocabulary and sentence structure help novice students learn easily. The drawings are vivid and thoughtful to reflect the reading. I love that the pinyin is provided on the opposite page for a quick reference, and not next to the characters directly. I also find it useful for novice learners to have an English version of the story as well as a glossary towards the end of the book." - Treena Larson, Chinese and DE&I Teacher, University of Chicago Laboratory Schools "This is a very good book for beginners to learn Chinese and master the HSK1 vocabulary. This book can not only attract children's attention, but is also a very good resource for adult learners. I think this book is a perfect option for children and adult learners who are looking for a way to learn basic Chinese." - Tong Chen, Lecturer in Chinese, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Global Languages; board member, Chinese Teachers Association "This is a lovely story full of imagination. The dialogues make it easy for beginner readers to understand, and the repetition of high-frequency words deepens the memory of language. Kids will be interested in learning Chinese and then actually learn it." - Rongrong Lin, Chinese Teacher, New Trier High School, Northfield IL

In the 2400s, mankind begins to terraform the planet Mars. Giant corporations, sponsored by the World Government on Earth, initiate huge projects to raise the temperature, the oxygen level, and the ocean coverage until the environment is habitable. In Terraforming Mars, you play one of those corporations and work together in the terraforming process, but compete for getting victory points that are awarded not only for your contribution to the terraforming, but also for advancing human infrastructure throughout the solar system, and doing other commendable things. The players acquire unique project cards (from over two hundred different ones) by buying them to their hand. The projects (cards) can represent anything from introducing plant life or animals, hurling asteroids at the surface, building cities, to mining the moons of Jupiter and establishing greenhouse gas industries to heat up the atmosphere. The cards can give you immediate bonuses, as well as increasing your production of different resources. Many cards also have requirements and they become playable when the temperature, oxygen, or ocean coverage increases enough. Buying cards is costly, so there is a balance between buying cards (3 megacredits per card) and actually playing them (which can cost anything between 0 to 41 megacredits, depending on the project). Standard Projects are always available to complement your cards. Your basic income, as well as your basic score, is based on your Terraform Rating (starting at 20), which increases every time you raise one of the three global parameters. However, your income is complemented with your production, and you also get VPs from many other sources. Each player keeps track of their production and resources on their player boards, and the game uses six types of resources: MegaCredits, Steel, Titanium, Plants, Energy, and Heat. On the game board, you compete for the best places for your city tiles, ocean tiles, and greenery tiles. You also compete for different Milestones and Awards worth many VPs. Each round is called a generation (guess why) and consists of the following phases: 1) Player order shifts clockwise. 2) Research phase: All players buy cards from four privately drawn. 3) Action phase: Players take turns doing 1-2 actions from these options: Playing a card, claiming a Milestone, funding an Award, using a Standard project, converting plant into greenery tiles (and raising oxygen), converting heat into a temperature raise, and using the action of a card in play. The turn continues around the table (sometimes several laps) until all players have passed. 4) Production phase: Players get resources according to their terraform rating and production parameters. When the three global parameters (temperature, oxygen, ocean) have all reached their goal, the terraforming is complete, and the game ends after that generation. Count your Terraform Rating and other VPs to determine the winning corporation!

A project-driven guide to designing, training, and deploying artificial intelligence directly on embedded hardware, showing how to build intelligent, autonomous systems under real-world constraints. You already know how to build embedded systems. Now it's time to make them intelligent. Adding AI to an embedded device takes more than training a model. You have to choose the right hardware, collect and prepare data, deploy models to resource-constrained devices, and integrate everything into a system that performs reliably. Drawing on more than 30 years of embedded engineering experience, David Such takes you through the complete engineering process. You'll work through more than 25 hands-on projects (complete with downloadable source code, schematics, PCB designs, and datasets); no machine learning experience required. You'll build: A wake-word detector that responds to your voice A real-time AI noise suppressor An AI-powered MIDI synthesizer that composes music A battery monitor that collects its own training data A person detector that runs a neural network on a camera board Whether you're an embedded developer adding AI to your products, a machine learning practitioner moving onto embedded hardware, or a maker ready to move beyond beginner projects, Embedded AI teaches you the engineering decisions behind every design. When the breadboard is flaky, the sensor data is noisy, or the tensor arena is too small, you'll know how to fix it-and why. Prerequisites Most projects require an Arduino UNO or Raspberry Pi Pico; a few use specialized boards. You'll also need to download some free software, including Python with TensorFlow, Arduino IDE, and Raspberry Pi Pico SDK.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Fascinating stories. . . . Boxing ourselves in may be the ultimate way to think outside the box." -Wall Street Journal "I thought David Epstein's first two books were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best. I'll never think about my own work the same way again." -Malcolm Gladwell It's never been easier to do too much. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range, why limits are the key to stimulating creativity, innovation, collaboration, and personal contentment. We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don't necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction. David Epstein argues that all of us-individuals, businesses, institutions, even societies-can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial, whether we're working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation. Original, galvanizing, and deeply researched, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves, and the world-as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself.

A Spanish Grammar Workbook is designed to make the acquisition of the Spanish language a challenging, sensible and enjoyable task. Structured around the main elements of contemporary Spanish grammar, the workbook complements Blackwell's A Comprehensive Spanish Grammar by Jacques de Bruyne (adapted, with additional material by Christopher J. Pountain). Together, the two books form a complete educational package or core text that is suitable for most levels of formal education. In addition, A Spanish Grammar Workbook can be used as an independent learning aid. The 500 grammar exercises vary from simple tests and puzzles to multiple-choice tests and realistic dialogues that contextualize Spanish grammar in everyday speech. In addition, communication exercises, at the end of most chapters, function as prompts to the oral practice of the grammar in representative contexts. By these means, language learners may come to understand grammatical functions naturally by putting theory into practice. The difficulty level of each exercise is indicated and the book includes an extensive answer key. A Spanish Grammar Workbook is a vital resource for helping students attain, maintain and improve their fluency.
