Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments and A Note About the Author. "Gripping. Fox masterfully conveys the exhilaration and loneliness of life undercover, and her memoir reads like a great espionage novle." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review). "Extraordinary. [A] remarkable life. Fox engagingly -- and transparently -- describes her work as an undercover agent for the CIA." -- Kirkus Reviews. "Amaryllis Fox's riveting memoir tells the story of her training and deployment in the most elite clandestine operations unit in the CIA, her eight years hunting the world's most dangerous terrorists in sixteen countries, and her marriage and the birth of her first daughter, all while working undercover. As the book opens, Amaryllis is alone, navigating the back alleys of Karachi as she prepares to negotiate with terrorists to avoid deployment of a nuclear device. How, the reader wonders, did she come to be here, in a dark room in Pakistan, surrounded by men who could jus as easily kill her as cooperate with her requests? After studying international law and theology as an undergraduate at Oxford, Amaryllis enrolled at Georgetown, where she created an algorithm that predicted the likelihood that a terrorist cell could erupt anywhere in the world. At twenty-one, she was recruited by the CIA. Her first job was analyzing hundreds of classified cables a day and assembling them for inclusion in the president's daily brief. Her next was at the Iraq desk in the Counterterrorism Center, where she worlked to locate prisoners kidnapped by al Qa'ida; a year later she was working to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorists, flying all over the world, debriefing detainees, and negotiating with arms dealers to buy chemical and biological weapons on the global black market. After completing the most demanding espionage training on earth, she was deployed as a spy under nonofficial cover to infiltrate terrorist networks in the most remote areas of North Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Life Undercoveer is astonishing, exhilarating, impossible to put down -- an extraordinary record of a life of service and passion and almost unfathomable courage. It is also an intimate, raw, deeply layered memoir about marriage, motherhood, and life's work. A must-read memoir from an immensely gifted new writer." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Unlock the next era of software engineering-where intelligent, autonomous agents work alongside humans to reason, plan, collaborate, and take meaningful action. As AI shifts from passive prediction to active autonomy, developers need a practical, end-to-end roadmap for building systems that are not just smart, but agentic. Building Intelligent AI Agents with Python provides exactly that.Designed for engineers, researchers, and ambitious builders, this book demystifies the architecture, theory, and hands-on implementation of modern AI agents powered by Python and state-of-the-art language models. Through a comprehensive progression of core concepts, practical patterns, and real-world examples, you will learn how to create agents that observe, reason, decide, and act-independently or in coordinated teams.You'll start with foundational agent theory, including autonomy, perception, action, and historical evolution from early rule-based systems to today's LLM-driven agents. From there, you'll master the essential components that define truly intelligent agents: cognitive architectures, planning algorithms, tool-use frameworks, memory systems, multi-agent communication protocols, reinforcement learning, self-improving feedback loops, and more.By the end, you'll be ready to design everything from simple conversational assistants to sophisticated systems capable of multi-agent orchestration, collaboration, and adaptive problem-solving-all using Python's rapidly growing ecosystem of agentic libraries. What You'll LearnThe fundamental architectures of modern agents, including reactive, deliberative, hybrid, BDI, and cognitive models.How to leverage Python's AI tooling-LLM SDKs, APIs, vector stores, orchestration frameworks-to build robust, modular agents.Techniques for reasoning, planning, decision-making, and integrating generative AI into agent loops.How to implement tool use, function calling, reflective reasoning, and self-improvement mechanisms.Building multi-agent systems capable of coordination, cooperation, competition, and distributed execution.Applying reinforcement learning to agents, including MARL strategies for complex environments.Deploying, scaling, and orchestrating agents using modern platforms like AutoGen, LangChain, CrewAI, and more.Ensuring agent safety, reliability, transparency, and human-centered alignment.Exploring the future of the Agentic Web and the emerging landscape of autonomous digital ecosystems.Who This Book Is For Software developers, AI engineers, data scientists, automation specialists, researchers, and builders who want to move beyond static models and create dynamic, autonomous AI systems that can meaningfully interact with the world.Your Blueprint for the Agentic FutureWhether you're building intelligent assistants, adaptive workflows, autonomous research agents, or large-scale multi-agent platforms, this book gives you the conceptual foundations and practical skills to lead in the new frontier of agentic AI. Prepare to build systems that don't just answer questions-they think, learn, and act. This item is printed on demand.
