This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Mr. Quammen] is not just among our best science writers but among our best writers, period." —Dwight Garner, New York Times The next big human pandemic—the next disease cataclysm, perhaps on the scale of AIDS or the 1918 influenza—is likely to be caused by a new virus coming to humans from wildlife. Experts call such an event “spillover” and they warn us to brace ourselves. David Quammen has tracked this subject from the jungles of Central Africa, the rooftops of Bangladesh, and the caves of southern China to the laboratories where researchers work in space suits to study lethal viruses. He illuminates the dynamics of Ebola, SARS, bird flu, Lyme disease, and other emerging threats and tells the story of AIDS and its origins as it has never before been told. Spillover reads like a mystery tale, full of mayhem and clues and questions. When the Next Big One arrives, what will it look like? From which innocent host animal will it emerge? Will we be ready?
Book Synopsis The New Human in Literature by : Mads Rosendahl Thomsen
Download or read book The New Human in Literature written by Mads Rosendahl Thomsen and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth-century literature changed understandings of what it meant to be human. Mads Rosendahl Thomsen, in this historical overview, presents a record of literature's changing ideas of mankind, questioning the degree to which literature records and creates visions of the new human. Grounded in the theory of Niklas Luhmann and drawing on canonical works, Thomsen uses literary changes in the mind, body and society to define the new human. He begins with the modernist minds of Virginia Woolf, Williams Carlos Williams and Louis-Ferdinand Celine's, discusses the society-changing concepts envisioned by Chinua Achebe, Mo Yan and Orhan Pamuk. He concludes with science fiction, discussing Don DeLillo and Michel Houellebecq's ideas of revolutionizing man through biotechnology. This is a study about imagination, aesthetics and ethics that demonstrates literature's capacity to not only imagine the future but portray the conflicting desires between individual and various collectives better than any other media. A study that heightens reflections on human evolution and posthumanism.
Book Synopsis This Is Hope: Green Vegans and the New Human Ecology by : Will Anderson
Download or read book This Is Hope: Green Vegans and the New Human Ecology written by Will Anderson and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Hope compares the outcomes of two human ecologies; one is tragic, the other is full of promise. As Will explains in his Introduction, ‘Our human ecology is the expression of everything we do and is represented by every interaction we have on earth…it consists of the multitude of relationships we have with other people, other species, and our physical environment’. He describes our current human ecology in depth to illustrate how we are living inappropriately, cruelly, and unsustainably. This is obsolete and has been for a long time; it is the cause of our overpopulation, our overconsumption of resources, the poverty of ecosystems and people, and our disregard for the rights of individuals from other species. This is Hope proposes a new human ecology to replace it.

Book excerpt: Can human beings agree on even the most fundamental concepts? How will our generation be judged by history five thousand years from now? Where on Earth is the correct version of a Human being from? Explore the new concept of "geochauvinism" and the role it plays in your life. Have you experienced the gripping fear of an angry violent mob or have you experienced the miracle of help, in time of need, from a complete stranger? Read the topic, "Group Mentality with Rapid Generalization" and review the broad range of effects this attitude has on your daily life. Who knows? When it comes to belief systems, the question of who is right pales in comparison to the horror of how people will treat each other over the unknown answer. When you consider the small percentage of individuals who have entrapped the entire planet in an endless cycle of violence, this represents an extra-ordinary reality. Read the topic called "Rotten Apples". The need to be right and in charge is a male feature of epic proportion. Is murder in the name of ideology, property, and power ruining a perfectly good planet Was the blaming of women for the fall of mankind one of the greatest tragedies of history? This topic is covered in detail in. "Reverse Eden". Remember that women and children represent the majority of people on Earth. Can we agree? What is the most fundamental concept on which most people would agree? The universe is watching us at a great distance. What will human beings become in the next five thousand years? The universe has all the time in the world...literally.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of New Human Rights by : Andreas von Arnauld
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of New Human Rights written by Andreas von Arnauld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 939 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides in-depth insight to scholars, practitioners, and activists dealing with human rights, their expansion, and the emergence of 'new' human rights. Whereas legal theory tends to neglect the development of concrete individual rights, monographs on 'new' rights often deal with structural matters only in passing and the issue of 'new' human rights has received only cursory attention in literature. By bringing together a large number of emergent human rights, analysed by renowned human rights experts from around the world, and combining the analyses with theoretical approaches, this book fills this lacuna. The comprehensive and dialectic approach, which enables insights from individual rights to overarching theory and vice versa, will ensure knowledge growth for generalists and specialists alike. The volume goes beyond a purely legal analysis by observing the contestation, rhetorics, the struggle for recognition of 'new' human rights, thus speaking to human rights professionals beyond the legal sphere.
Book Synopsis The changing interaction between robots and humans in the working environment by : Peter Rössel
Download or read book The changing interaction between robots and humans in the working environment written by Peter Rössel and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: B, Sophia Antipolis Campus (France); SKEMA Business School, language: English, abstract: Within my research paper I analyze how the further development of robotic devices will influence our working environment. Robots are going to change the global economy drastically. With severe effects on the job market, as recent studies outline. In the United Kingdom alone one third of jobs could be omitted due to the “robot-revolution”, in the United States with 47 percent even almost half. Especially in “low-skilled” job fields robots could take many working spaces of human beings, enormous social shifts would result. Even though a lot of people argue that technical advancement and therefore the further development of robotic devices bring advantages to our lives for the most part, we have to start to realise that robots may replace our jobs and therefore adapt to a changing work environment. More and more people are outcompeted by a non-living species an, unlikeable scenario that though will take place in the future and therefore people have to learn to deal with this new setting.
Book Synopsis What Comes After Homo Sapiens? by : Don Simborg
Download or read book What Comes After Homo Sapiens? written by Don Simborg and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-10 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular science at its best, What Comes After Homo Sapiens? presents "the Simborg Hypothesis," the startling theory that another human species will emerge in the next two centuries. Dr. Simborg notes that in our evolutionary history two or more human species coexisting is the norm rather than the exception. Furthermore, our tools to alter our genes, our environment, and our technology are unprecedented, and increasingly effective.Dr. Simborg is a physician, board certified in internal medicine and an expert in medical informatics. He theorizes that we will soon see a new human species that will coexist with us. It will be a much different kind of coexistence than what we know of our coexistence with the Neanderthals.What Comes After Homo Sapiens? addresses fundamental questions such as¿ How exactly do we differ from our closest evolutionary relatives, living and extinct?¿ How will we know when the new humans have split off into a new species?¿ When will that happen and what will that new species be like?¿ What are the chances that Homo sapiens will become extinct?Dr. Simborg surveys the history of our evolution and explains key concepts about genetic engineering, speciation, artificial intelligence and neuroscience creating in What Comes After Homo Sapiens? a de facto multi-disciplinary primer. Building on a foundation of anthropology, genomics, paleontology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, "the Simborg Hypothesis" answers the existential question: What Comes after Homo Sapiens?

Download or read book Humans 3. 0 written by Peter Nowak and published by Friday Project. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life for early humans wasn't easy. They may have been able to walk on two feet and create tools 4 million years ago, but they couldn't remember or communicate. Fortunately, people got smarter, and things got better. They remembered on-the-spot solutions and shared the valuable information of their experiences. Clubs became swords, caves became huts, and fires became ovens. Collectively these new tools became technology. As the 21st century unfolds, the pace of innovation is accelerating exponentially. Breakthroughs from robotics to genetics appear almost on a daily basis. It's all happening so quickly that it's hard to keep track-but recently there's been a shift. We used to create technology to change the world around us; now we're using it to change ourselves. With vaccinations, in-vitro fertilization, and individual genetic therapy, we're entering a new epoch, a next step, faster and more dramatic than the shift from Australopithicines to Homo Sapiens. The technology that set us apart from our earliest selves is becoming part of the evolutionary process.Advancements in computing, robotics, nanotechnology, neurology, and genetics mean that our wildest imaginings could soon become commonplace. Peter Nowak deftly presents the potential outcomes-both exciting and frightening-of key, rapidly advancing technologies and adroitly explores both the ramifications of adopting them and what doing so will reveal about the future of our species. We've come a long way in 4 million years. Welcome to Human 3.0.
Book Synopsis The Next Species by : Michael Tennesen
Download or read book The Next Species written by Michael Tennesen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Simultaneously sobering and exhilarating, Michael Tennesen’s wide-ranging survey of disasters highlights both life’s fragility and its metamorphosing persistence” (Booklist) and describes what life on earth could look like after the next mass extinction. A growing number of scientists agree we are headed toward a mass extinction, perhaps in as little as 300 years. Already there have been five mass extinctions in the last 600 million years, including the Cretaceous Extinction, during which an asteroid knocked out the dinosaurs. Though these events were initially destructive, they were also prime movers of evolutionary change in nature. And we can see some of the warning signs of another extinction event coming, as our oceans lose both fish and oxygen, and our lands lose both predators and prey. In The Next Species, Michael Tennesen questions what life might be like after it happens. In thoughtful, provocative ways, Tennesen discusses the future of nature and whether humans will make it through the bottleneck of extinction. Could life suddenly get very big as it did before the arrival of humans? Could the conquest of Mars lead to another form of human? Could we upload our minds into a computer and live in a virtual reality? How would we recognize the next humans? Are they with us now? Tennesen delves into the history of the planet and travels to rainforests, canyons, craters, and caves all over the world to explore the potential winners and losers of the next era of evolution. His predictions, based on reports and interviews with top scientists, have vital implications for life on earth today. The Next Species is “an engrossing history of life, the dismal changes wrought by man, and a forecast of life after the sixth mass extinction” (Kirkus Reviews).

Download or read book TransEvolution written by Daniel Estulin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that the race to better humankind is about to go to a new dimension as a result of a nanotechnological revolution, this enthralling read purports that the depth of progress and technological development is such that people in the very near future may no longer be fully human. TransEvolution discusses the transition from human to someone--or something--new and different and the increasing trend of implementing prosthetics, organ implants, bionic eyes, hearing aids, and other technological augmentations. Humans are capable of doing things they never imagined would be possible 20 years ago, and the rapid growth of this trend is nowhere near its end. But do the benefits of these advancements come with a price? Is humanity in danger because of this domination of science and technology? Bestselling author Daniel Estulin describes his vision of the future in which he believes the elite will employ their Promethean plans.

Download or read book Beta Humans written by Michael Macfarlane and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can humans reach the next stage of our evolution and become 'beta' versions of ourselves by embracing the technological revolution to upgrade the world around us? What conditions would be needed for 'beta humans' to rise? It is possible to upgrade the world's 'operating systems' for the betterment of all human beings? And where in the world is the crucible from which the very first beta humans might emerge?As income inequality widens and social mobility stagnates within nations who built their twentieth century prosperity upon the values of the Enlightenment, they face seemingly intractable problems which threaten their very identity and existence. Trust levels and educational outcomes are in decline and politics has become divisive and polarised as deadlocked Governments are unable to deal with entrenched human problems.Becoming 'beta humans' may now be the only way to break the deadlock and elevate all human beings beyond current limitations. As the chain reaction of rapid technological development accelerates, humans have the opportunity to attain a new stage of evolution. But the elevation of humanity onto a new concourse will not come from human-robot augmentation or from brain implants. It will come from the upgrading of every aspect of the world in which humans live and the environments in which humans choose to exist and to interact and to live our lives.Whilst the nations of the Enlightenment continue to support their legacy operating systems with expedient and iterative patches, other nations have already started to embrace the full upgrade of their own operating systems to build toward, at least theoretically, superior societies. And travel through the United Arab Emirates, China, Russia, Japan and Singapore shows that the world's first beta humans may not emerge from the nations who led the twentieth century. Beta Humans: Travelling To The Future Of Humanity charts the first-hand experience of travelling through the countries and cities that are surging ahead through their embrace of technology to upgrade the operating systems of their society and everyday life. A final chapter of 'Lessons For A Beta Future' offers ideas for preparing the world for beta humans, and warns that dark forces could usurp the values of the Enlightenment if human progress is allowed to stagnate.Mapped against his experiences of growing up in a deprived region of a Great Britain during a time when the country was wrestling with the prospect of decline, and with deference to the repeating tropes of modern human history, author Michael Macfarlane is however optimistic that "as humans we are programmed to co-exist"; but says that technology has risk because "our internal software has been augmented by access to artificial forms of higher intelligence that increasingly makes our programmed disposition for inter-human cooperation seem obsolete".Macfarlane says that as humans we stand at a juncture between the biological limitations of the 'internal software' created during our relatively primitive beginnings, which cannot be 'upgraded' far beyond our biological limitations, and the opportunity to substantially improve and augment human life by upgrading the things that we can improve. Through highly personal stories he argues that we can create a new 'beta' version of our world. We can become beta humans.
