Mastering Claude Cowork - Michael Kral Cover Art

Mastering Claude Cowork

Mastering Claude Cowork by Michael Kral

Mastering Claude Cowork: The Definitive Guidebook for Agentic Knowledge Work You didn't get into your career to rename files, chase down data, or spend Friday afternoon assembling the same weekly report for the forty-seventh time. But that's where the hours go — buried in the mechanical work that sits between you and the work that actually matters. Claude Cowork changes that equation. It reads your files, connects to your tools, and delivers finished work to your desktop. Not drafts. Not suggestions. Finished, formatted, ready-to-send deliverables. And it does it while you're on a call, walking the dog, or drinking your morning coffee. This book shows you exactly how to make that real. Mastering Claude Cowork takes you from "what is this thing?" to a fully automated personal operating system — scheduled workflows producing executive-grade outputs before you sit down at your desk each morning. No coding required. No technical background assumed. Just a clear, progressive path from your first task to complete operational leverage. You'll learn how to organize your files so Claude gets smarter with every session. Connect your existing tools — Slack, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and fifty others — so Claude works where you already work. Assign tasks from your phone while your computer handles execution. Set up scheduled automations that deliver morning briefings, pipeline dashboards, competitive intelligence, and weekly reports without you lifting a finger. And build reusable skills and plugins that encode how you work — your standards, your formats, your judgment — so every output reflects your quality bar, not a generic AI's. Five complete project walkthroughs show the full system in action: contract analysis, territory planning, strategic briefings, financial pipelines, and client proposals. Dedicated chapters cover what to do when things go wrong, how to manage your usage budget, and how to roll Cowork out across a team or organization responsibly. The appendices give you everything you need to start fast: a connector directory, a plugin guide, eight copy-ready templates, a troubleshooting reference, a glossary, and a one-page quick-start card designed to sit next to your keyboard. The people who build their agentic systems now will spend the next year compounding their advantage. Everyone else will spend it catching up. This book puts you in the first group. First Edition · March 2026 · 12 Chapters · 5 Appendices · Quick-Start Card Included

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now - Jaron Lanier Cover Art

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now by Jaron Lanier

AS SEEN IN THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY THE SOCIAL DILEMMA A WIRED " ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOK" A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK "THE CONSCIENCE OF SILICON VALLEY"- GQ “Profound . . . Lanier shows the tactical value of appealing to the conscience of the individual. In the face of his earnest argument, I felt a piercing shame about my own presence on Facebook. I heeded his plea and deleted my account.” - Franklin Foer, The New York Times Book Review “Mixes prophetic wisdom with a simple practicality . . . Essential reading.” - The New York Times (Summer Reading Preview) You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we’re better off without them. In Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now , Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms. Lanier’s reasons for freeing ourselves from social media’s poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more “connected” than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the benefits of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us toward a richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world.

The Digital Photography Book - Scott Kelby Cover Art

The Digital Photography Book

The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby

Scott Kelby, the man who changed the ""digital darkroom"" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think). This entire book is written with a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it: ""If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?' I wouldn't stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure, and depth of field. In real life, I'd just say, 'Get out your telephoto lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.' You d say, 'OK,' and you'd get the shot. That's what this book is all about. A book of you and I shooting, and I answer the questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I've learned just like I would with a friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the techno-photo-speak."" This isn't a book of theory—it isn't full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts: this is a book of which button to push, which setting to use, when to use them, and nearly two hundred of the most closely guarded photographic ""tricks of the trade"" to get you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with your digital camera every time you press the shutter button. Here's another thing that makes this book different: each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. There's never been a book like it, and if you're tired of taking shots that look ""OK,"" and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, ""Why don't my shots look like that?"" then this is the book for you.

Cult of the Dead Cow How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World by Joseph Menn

Rocket Surgery Made Easy The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems by Steve Krug

It's been known for years that usability testing can dramatically improve products. But with a typical price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 for a usability consultant to conduct each round of tests, it rarely happens. In this how-to companion to Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability , Steve Krug spells out a streamlined approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to their own Web site, application, or other product. (As he said in Don't Make Me Think , "It's not rocket surgery".) Using practical advice, plenty of illustrations, and his trademark humor, Steve explains how to: Test any design, from a sketch on a napkin to a fully-functioning Web site or application Keep your focus on finding the most important problems (because no one has the time or resources to fix them all) Fix the problems that you find, using his "The least you can do" approach By paring the process of testing and fixing products down to its essentials ("A morning a month, that's all we ask"), Rocket Surgery makes it realistic for teams to test early and often, catching problems while it's still easy to fix them. Rocket Surgery Made Easy adds demonstration videos to the proven mix of clear writing, before-and-after examples, witty illustrations, and practical advice that made Don't Make Me Think so popular.
