The Secret SubwayFrom an acclaimed author and a New York Times Best Illustrated artist comes the fascinating, little known and true story of New York City's first subway. New York City in the 1860s was a mess: crowded, disgusting, filled with garbage. You see, way back in 1860, there were no subways, just cobblestone streets. That is, until Alfred Ely Beach had the idea for a fan powered train that would travel underground. On February 26, 1870, after fifty eight days
From an acclaimed author and a New York Times Best Illustrated artist comes the fascinating, little-known--and true --story of New York City's first subway. New York City in the 1860s was a mess: crowded, disgusting, filled with garbage. You see, way back in 1860, there were no subways, just cobblestone streets. That is, until Alfred Ely Beach had the idea for a fan-powered train that would travel underground. On February 26, 1870, after fifty-eight days of drilling and painting and plastering, Beach unveiled his masterpiece--and throngs of visitors took turns swooshing down the track. The Secret Subway will wow readers, just as Beach's underground train wowed riders over a century ago. A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016Binding Type: Hardcover

Breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, practical chapters.
Format: Kindle
This hands-on guide to Ollama is exactly what I needed! The author breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, practical chapters that get straight to the point. The sections on different Ollama models and customization were particularly helpful. If you're looking to learn about building local LLM-powered applications without any fluff, this book is a great investment.

Love it - revolutionary approach to teaching, presenting complex concepts
Format: Paperback
This book is a game-changer for neural networks and AI enthusiasts. It takes a revolutionary approach to teaching, presenting complex concepts in a simple and engaging manner. The book is filled with colorful diagrams and illustrations that make learning accessible and enjoyable. I’ve read several other books, but this one stands out. It’s not a beginner’s guide, but once you grasp the early concepts, it takes you to a whole new level of understanding. I will give it 10 stars if I could.
