Brought to you by Penguin. Construction is the most important industry in the world. The homes we wake up to, the schools we raise our children in, the transport infrastructure we all use, the hospitals we rely on – all of it was built and enabled by construction. In Mega Builds, YouTube...

What happens when intelligent machines aren’t just in our pockets but are also driving our cars, making our decisions, folding our laundry, and educating our kids? You’ve heard the hype: AI will make us healthier, give every child a personalized tutor, run our businesses more efficiently...

The Isle of Man TT and motorcycle road racing events like the North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix, the Macau Grand Prix, and the Cookstown 100 are known for their uncompromising brutality and provide some of the greatest highs and the most tragic of lows seen in any sporting field. There are only three possible outcomes for riders: win, lose, or die. It's that basic; it's that savage. Over the years, some of the biggest names in motorcycle racing have tackled 'pure roads' events, including Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, and even the great Barry Sheene

Master the rules of the sky—while commuting, exercising, or doing chores! In the quiet hum of motion, whether driving down the highway, pacing through a workout, or moving through the rhythm of daily life, the sky begins to unfold. Regulations, procedures, and flight knowledge no longer sit still on a page. They move with you. They become sound. They become understanding.

There are moments in human progress when scale alone commands attention, not simply because something is large, but because it represents a boundary that has been pushed, a limit that has been tested and extended. The USS Gerald R. Ford is one such moment. It is not merely the largest warship ever built, nor simply the most advanced aircraft carrier in service. It is a convergence of ambition, engineering, and purpose, brought together in a form that moves steadily across the world’s oceans, carrying with it both capability and consequence.

We are the last generation to manage only humans. The next will manage hybrid teams of humans and AI agents. Most leaders are not ready. The rare organizations achieving 200% productivity gains from AI are not using better technology than those achieving 20%. They are managing it differently. The authors learned this from failure. Across many AI deployments, the pattern became clear: capable agents failed not from weak technology, but from a missing management layer.

He was hailed as a genius, a visionary who solved some of the most pressing industrial challenges of the early 20th century. But today, Thomas Midgley Jr. is remembered as the man whose inventions did more harm to the Earth’s atmosphere than any single human before him. In this riveting biography, Thomas Midgley Jr.: The Man Who Accidentally Destroyed the Atmosphere, Rick Stupart unravels the life, work, and legacy of a brilliant chemist whose groundbreaking innovations—leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)—unleashed environmental disasters still felt around the globe.

'The entire span of British submarine history has been carefully recorded here: the tragedies in both peace and war … the successes too.' — Geoffrey Moorhouse, Daily Telegraph

We have entered a new era of intelligence. One where machines do not wait for instructions. They plan, act, and learn alongside us. The Age of Agents explains what happens when AI stops being a tool and starts behaving like a teammate. This audiobook takes you inside the rise of agentic AI. Systems that reason, remember, use tools, and pursue goals over time. You will understand how autonomous agents already run businesses, reshape work, and quietly change the rules of competition.

In Bridging the Gap, Esther Franklin extends a personal and urgent invitation to those ready to transform both their lives and the future of America through careers in the transportation industry. With historic infrastructure projects underway and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) promising to create over a million jobs per year, the time to act is now. Franklin offers a detailed look at five critical fields—engineering, architecture, right-of-way acquisition, appraisal, and title work—where the need for fresh talent has never been greater.

What happens when economic necessity meets technological possibility? The Postmodern Gypsy emerges—a new American archetype redefining what it means to live, work, and thrive in the 21st century. "Defining the Postmodern Gypsy" is not a romantic tale of wanderlust or spiritual seeking. It's an...

Why am I writing this book? Because I believe it’s important to discuss the topic of leadership as it impacts safety. When I’m talking about leadership, I’m talking about leadership at all levels, whether it be your personal leadership skills, the skills you draw on as a leader of teams or as a manager, and also the act of being a visionary who identifies and mentors those who will become our next generation of leaders. Safety can be broken down into physical and psychological safety, both of which are important to the culture of an organization.

When a young pilot’s plane crashed on a clear December afternoon, everything she was and knew fractured in an instant. What followed was a fight not just for survival, but for identity, purpose, and the strength to begin again. CRASHED takes you inside the moments when time stood still: the chaos of impact, the courage of the rescuers who refused to give up, and the long, uncertain road back to life. For anyone who has faced an unexpected fall, CRASHED is a powerful reminder that what’s shattered can be rebuilt. Sometimes, survival is only the beginning.
