1. Our Planet Powered by AI: How We Use Artificial Intelligence to Create a Sustainable Future for Humanity
2023 by Mark Minevich
If the galaxy ever decided to write a guidebook on Artificial Intelligence, it might look a lot like Our Planet Powered by AI: How We Use Artificial Intelligence to Create a Sustainable Future for Humanity. With a dash of whimsy and a heaping spoonful of logic, Mark Minevich takes readers on a hitchhiker’s tour through the curious universe of ethical AI, sprinkling in cosmic insights and unexpected twists like a particularly chatty supercomputer. From turning humdrum corporate strategies into soaring starships of sustainability, to explaining how algorithms can save the planet (without accidentally turning it into a paperclip factory), this book is both a guide to digital transformation and a love letter to innovation. Packed with tales of real-world triumphs and occasional stumbles—think of them as the AI equivalent of Vogon poetry—it’s a must-read for anyone hoping to steer their organization toward a future where humans and machines coexist peacefully and profitably. And really, what could be more reassuring than that?

2. Recent Advances in Sustainable Waste Management Practices: Proceedings of SWMP 2023
2023 by Kunwar D. Yadav, Namrata D. Jariwala, Amit Kumar, Alok Sinha
If the universe had a user manual for trash (and let’s face it, it really needs one), Recent Advances in Sustainable Waste Management Practices might just be the hitchhiker’s guide to not completely mucking things up on Earth. Chronicling the most intriguing proceedings of SWMP 2023, this book explores everything you never knew you wanted to know about waste—from the mysterious alchemy of industrial wastewater treatment to the peculiar saga of plastic, biomedical and demolition debris. With case studies that could make even a Vogon feel optimistic, it’s a rollicking ride through the cosmos of leachate and e-waste, all presented with the reassuring gravitas of people who know what they’re doing (mostly). A must-read for environmental engineers, civil experts and anyone who’s ever wondered what happens to their old phone when it goes to that big recycling bin in the sky.

3. Applications of Computer Vision in Automation and Robotics
2021 by Krzysztof Okarma
If robots had bedtime stories, Applications of Computer Vision in Automation and Robotics would surely be on their reading list—a riveting account of how machines are learning to see, think and occasionally wonder if humans really know what they’re doing. Penned by the delightfully meticulous Krzysztof Okarma, this book dives headfirst into the mesmerizing world of computer vision, where drones navigate like overly enthusiastic houseflies, factories scrutinize their own handiwork with laser-sharp eyes and autonomous vehicles make decisions faster than you can say “pedestrian crossing.” From Industry 4.0 marvels to IoT surveillance with a hint of paranoia, it’s a tour de force through a future where robots don’t just do what they’re told—they see what needs doing. Equal parts academic insight and techno-magic, it’s perfect for anyone wondering if their toaster might one day start judging their breakfast choices.

4. Management of Urban Biodegradable Wastes
1996 by Jens Aage Hansen
In a world where cities churn out heaps of organic goo faster than you can say "biodegradable," Management of Urban Biodegradable Wastes boldly tackles the question, “What do we do with all this stuff?” This delightfully thorough tome explores the curious lifecycle of urban muck—be it kitchen scraps, garden clippings, or the baffling byproducts of light industry—shedding light on everything from composting techniques that make worms weep with joy to anaerobic processes that might just save the planet (or at least make it smell slightly less awful). With a regulatory maze that would make Vogon bureaucracy blush, occupational health considerations and even marketing strategies for the glamorous world of compost, this book is your hitchhiker’s guide to the wild world of waste. Whether you’re a graduate student, a consulting engineer, or just someone who wonders what happens after the bin lorry leaves, this is your indispensable companion to the great urban cleanup. Just try not to think about the evolving demands of end-users—it’s more terrifying than it sounds.
