Jean Young has been writing songs for children to sing since her own children (featured on the CD jacket!) were young. Her family's backpacking trips to the Adirondacks inspired these twelve new songs, all about the adventures and animals that can be found when you get out into the woods. Amy Conley, who first heard the songs when Jean shared them at a Music Together directors' conference, suggested creating this CD. She contributes her singing and her many instrumental talents, on banjo, guitar, ukulele, dulcimer, and harmonica. Jean, who has a background in Orff Schulwerk, adds her own voice, plus xylophone, glockenspiel, and recorder. Jean and Amy are joined by six members of Jean's children's choir from Community Unitarian Church in White Plains, NY. The choir premiered many of the songs in Sunday services at the church. They were honored to sing 'Cedar Waxwing', accompanied by Pete Seeger on banjo and JIm Scott on guitar, at a benefit concert at CUC this spring. The songs in this collection will appeal to many audiences. Camp directors will happily pass along the safety tips of 'In a Canoe.' Science teachers will love all the animal facts, especially the detailed bird descriptions in 'Great Blue Heron/ Snowy Egret.' Classroom teachers will find 'Something is Hiding' excellent for teaching rhyming words and 'We're Off to Climb a Mountain' a great memory game. Choir directors and music educators will appreciate the introduction to blues harmonica and to part singing: 'See the Otter' is a call and response song; 'Bats' is a 2-part canon; 'Cedar Waxwing' verse and chorus are partner songs; 'A Beaver' layers multiple speech chants and melodic ostinati. Parents trying to lull restless children to sleep will find 'Wilderness Lullaby' very helpful, and kids everywhere will delight in laughing along with 'Loon Serenade' and making a mud bath to battle 'Mosquitoes.' Jean uses picture books and puppets (found in gift shops in upstate NY and VT) when teaching the songs to children. We hope that you will sing, chant, and play along with us... and be inspired. To have your own Adirondack Adventures!

Excellent Textbook for Hands-On Learning of ML
Format: Kindle
This textbook is for the serious life-long learners of machine learning. There are at least two ways to ‘consume’ this book.
For the expert in ML, this is a textbook to study as a clear comprehensive ML overview and then to dive into sections of interest or ignorance. The concepts are grounded in code examples and are well cited (with links) to sources. Further, this textbook is appropriate if you are TensorFlow-centric and want to broaden into cutting-edge ML models/tools coded in PyTorch.
For a new learner to ML, this is a textbook to DO (not just READ) with hands-on and brain-engaged. If you realize that ML is a key life-long skill for your career, consider this textbook as part of a daily learning habit (10-30 min).
From personal experience, my advice to the new learner is as follows… First, clone the GitHub repository, setup your Python environment, and study the textbook, while working through the notebooks. Go on tangents and break the code. Do this methodically as part of your daily learning habit, but do not hesitate to jump ahead several chapters to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting. There is enough excellent material here for a full year of ML adventures.
I did a similar strategy with Raschka’s first textbook. About four years ago, I had finished Andrew Ng’s Deep Learning Specialization as a student in his first cohort. I knew the concepts well but could not do the actual application coding. I was surprised how my Python coding improved by following Raschka’s clean and elegant style. And Raschka’s code examples were meaty enough to be springboards into working applications.
Several textbook editions later, what is different about this new edition?
First, it moves you through scikit-Learn (a firm foundation) to PyTorch, instead of TensorFlow. PyTorch is a better stepping-stone, both conceptually and practically. With PyTorch, you will go further with less energy, while being able to convert your efforts into TensorFlow as needed. In addition, most of the cutting-edge ML/AI/DL research is in PyTorch. It is nice to read a recent arXiv paper, clone their repository, click on the Colab tutorial, and replicate their experiments, along with picking up a ton of new coding tricks & tips. I am excited to work through these PyTorch sections to hone my skills.
Second, there is a clear recognition of model tracking and tuning practices. This is often a gap in other ML textbooks and courses. Once you progress beyond the simple demo examples in a lecture, you realize that the real work is experiments, more experiments, and still more experiments, so that you must understand what the model architecture and hyperparameters are doing to your dataset. There is good coverage of scikit-Learn pipeline, grid search, model performance, and the like.
Third, ML/AI/DL practice is rapidly evolving. Every week new ML packages/services become available that could save much grief on your current project. What is refreshing about Raschka’s textbook series is that he constantly adding cutting-edge topics because he likes to stay current and to help us stay current. Hence, this edition contains recent ML treats as: transformers, self-supervised learning, autoencoders-to-GAN, graph neural networks, DBSCAN, t-SNE (with brief mention of UMAP), and PyTorch-Lightning.

One of the best machine learning books...
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Machine Learning can often be intimidating whether you are starting out or already a practitioner. It is easy to get stuck on one concept, walk away frustrated, or just copy that code you find on StackOverflow without really understanding what it does. What the authors of this book, Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn, have managed to do is to keep the reader engaged giving a deeper illustration as to how the concepts work. In this book, you get practical code examples, a detailed explanation of how the various library tools work, and exposure to the mathematical concepts behind machine learning algorithms. In addition, what I like about the book unlike many machine learning books is that the authors have managed to intuitively explain how each algorithm works, how to use them, and the mistake you need to avoid.
I have not read a Machine Learning book that better explains Transformers as this one does. The authors have managed to give a detailed dive into this model architecture through well-explained codes and illustrations. As a reader, you walk away having intuitively grasped the concepts of attention and self-attention in ways that will make this crucial NLP architecture clear. You get exposed to pre-trained models from HuggingFace library which really helps to have that hands-on experience working with large datasets.
As they have done throughout the book, the authors have broken down those complex mathematical operations into simple explanations that are easy to follow. What I generally like about the book is how it seamlessly connects all the chapters, not throwing off the reader. There are numerous external resources quoted throughout the book. This helps spark that curiosity to dig deeper. In addition, you get introduced to PyTorch, getting exposed to all those sophisticated libraries that help the reader learn how to maximize their compute power. I would say it is not intimidating at all even if you have not used PyTorch before.
I would recommend this book to anybody seeking a textbook that is both easy to read and modern in its content. If were to rate the book I will give it a 10/10 as it really applies to both beginners and experienced practitioners, covers all the concepts one needs to apply in their operations, and acts as a quick reference.
