Between 1825 and 1831 close to 200 Britons and 1000 Aborigines died violently in Tasmania's Black War. It was by far the most intense frontier conflict in Australia's history, yet many Australians know little about it. The Black War takes a unique approach to this historic event, looking chiefly at the experiences and attitudes of those who took part in the conflict. By contrasting the perspectives of colonists and Aborigines, Nicholas Clements takes a deeply human look at the events that ...

Legendary Teacher Stories is a heartfelt tribute to the Teachers and adults that impacted Nic both as a young student and later on as a school administrator. His storytelling is fun yet factual. From page one, the reader is invited into Nic's story of life with an all access pass. In an effort to finish big, Nic currently awards his net royalties back to the very Teachers that he calls Legendary.

These four volumes present innovative thematic applications implemented using the open source software QGIS. These are applications that use remote sensing over continental surfaces. The volumes detail applications of remote sensing over continental surfaces, with a first one discussing applications for agriculture. A second one presents applications for forest, a third presents applications for the continental hydrology, and finally the last volume details applications for environment and...

More than half of the analytics and machine learning (ML) models created by organizations today never make it into production. Some of the challenges and barriers to operationalization are technical, but others are organizational. Either way, the bottom line is that models not in production can't provide business impact.This book introduces the key concepts of MLOps to help data scientists and application engineers not only operationalize ML models to drive real business change but...
