"The moving memoir of a girl coming of age as an immigrant in America who finds her calling as a scientist at the forefront of the AI/Machine Learning revolution. Fei-Fei Li is known to the world as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern artificial intelligence (AI). But her career in science was improbable from the start. Moving from China's middle class to American poverty, her family navigated the hardships of immigrant life while struggling to care for an ailing mother at every step. However, Fei-Fei's adolescent knack for physics endured, sparking a journey that would lead her to computer science, experimental cognitive science, and, ultimately, the still-obscure world of AI. It positioned her to make a defining contribution to the breakthrough we now call the AI revolution and brought her face-to-face with the extraordinary possibilities-and the extraordinary dangers-of the technology she loves.

Somehow : thoughts on love / Lamott, Anne

""Love is our only hope," Anne Lamott writes in this perceptive new book. "It is not always the easiest choice, but it is always the right one, the noble path, the way home to safety, no matter how bleak the future looks." In Somehow: Thoughts on Love, Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, reminds us of our humanity, and guides us forward. "Love just won't be pinned down," she says. "It is in our very atmosphere" and lies at the heart of who we are. We are, Lamott says, creatures of love. In each chapter of Somehow, Lamott refracts all the colors of the spectrum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bruised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints, even frightens. The sustaining love among a group of sinners, for a community in transition, in the wider world. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens as it educates, comforts as it energizes, sustains as it surprises. Somehow is Anne Lamott's twentieth book, and in it she draws from her own life and experience to delineate the intimate and elemental ways that love buttresses us in the face of despair as it galvanizes us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. Full of the compassion and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Somehow is classic Anne Lamott: funny, warm, and wise"--

At my Italian table : family recipes from my cucina to yours / Holtzman, Rachel

"Bring the joy of Italian living to your kitchen with 100 family-friendly Italian and Italian American recipes from social media star and beloved author of Laura in the Kitchen. In Laura Vitale's first cookbook she shared recipes from her popular YouTube cooking channel. Now, she turns her focus to Italy, where she was born and lived until she was a young woman, and where her Nonna's cooking made a lasting imprint. Home sick for the food she grew up with, as a teenager Laura found that chatting with Nonna on the phone and then recreating the dishes Nonna used to make, like Creamy Polenta with Frizzled Mushrooms or Fagiola a Zuppa over Bread, helped her find comfort in her new home. Now she makes dishes like Spaghetti Aglio e Olio di Nonna, Cacio e Pepe Arancini, and Charcoal Roasted for her daughter and husband as well as for her hundreds of thousands of fans. Laura shares weekday go-tos and comforting, transportive Sunday suppers, and loads of tips on how to cook like an Italian grandma. As a working mom, she of course speaks to efficiency and ease as well. Chapters include: Before Dinner Snacking (Because We Don't Believe in Formal Canapes Around Here): Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms and Whipped Ricotta with Honey and Herbs Quick and Easy Mains for when Time and Patience are Short but Dinner is a Priority: Pork Chops and Fried Peppers and Rigatoni with Sausage and Mushrooms An Italian Sunday (or Days Where You Want to Shimmy into Nonna Mode): Ham and Fontina Lasagna and Risotto Alla Pescatore Seriously Good Vegetable Sides and Salads (That I Often Eat as Dinner with Some Crusty Bread): Roasted Cauliflower with Green Olives and Creamy Polenta with Frizzled Mushrooms Sweet Ending (Because as Nonna would Say, "No Self-respecting Italian Would Dare Ending a Meal Without Something Sweet"): Sorbetto al Limone and Olive Oil Apple Snack Cake Laura's deep love of Italian cuisine shines strong through this collection of delightfully homey and highly appealing recipes"-- Provided by publisher
