Book excerpt: “I hated looking for work. I hated circling the classifieds, I hated the web searches, I hated the web job sites, I hated the phony resumes, I hated the phony interviews. What do you think your greatest strength is? I got to the highest level of Wolfenstein II The New Colossus. How do you think that would help you in this job? Hand-eye coordination. High moral character - I killed a lot of bad guys. Oh, and I killed a few bad women too. Um, I killed some good guys, but I was still a beginner when that happened. What’s your greatest weakness? How much time you got? That would be an honest interview. But I need a job, so you have to make shit up and look like you care." Jack Lack has just lost another job to the invisible forces of automation, algorithms, and artificial intelligence. This time, though, he decides to get off the high-tech merry-go-round of serial job loss. This time, he is determined to fight back - but against who? And how? A Bit Too Much is a darkly humorous satire that will intrigue readers of contemporary fiction with its intriguing portrayal of a young man who grew up in the haze of Texas Gulf Coast refineries and is facing an uncertain future. “4/5 Stars – Loved It! The fear of losing one’s job to a robot is not misplaced, as 2019 news reports say that one-quarter of American jobs are at a high risk of automation. Clack has picked up on this sentiment perfectly and woven an all-too-real story around it. Descriptions of Amazon’s automated stores and Uber’s driverless cars give the story a sense of immediacy. The writing is smooth and descriptions are informative…tongue-in-cheek humor and biting sarcasm…” - Satabdi Mukherjee, Reedsy
Book Synopsis Well Packed – Not a Bit Too Much by : Olaf Manz
Download or read book Well Packed – Not a Bit Too Much written by Olaf Manz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With today's flood of data circulating on storage media and the Internet, compression of digital data remains an immensely important aspect of data transmission and storage. This essential explains, without theoretical superstructure and with elementary mathematical methods, the most important compression methods, such as the entropy encodings of Shannon-Fano and of Huffman, as well as the dictionary encodings of the Lempel-Ziv family. Irrelevance reduction and quantization for optical and acoustic signals, which exploit the inadequacies of the human eye and ear for data compression, are also discussed in detail. The whole is illustrated by means of common practical applications from the everyday environment. The presentation allows for use in, for example, working groups at schools, introductory courses at universities, and is also suitable for interested laypersons. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Gut gepackt Kein Bit zu viel by Olaf Manz, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Book Synopsis A bit of metaphysics by : Antonio Pinto Renedo
Download or read book A bit of metaphysics written by Antonio Pinto Renedo and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book, I try to transmit those ideas that I consider appropriate to favor the progress of humanity. Every time we meditate, we extract from within ourselves the small proportion of God that we all have, and then we become creators of a new and better world. We must not waste this possibility with a life dedicated solely to the stimulation of the senses. When a philosopher meditates and has enough inspiration, he becomes the discoverer of a better world that we could have if we believe in it. Pirst the idea exists only in his mind, but when the ge nte believe him becomes reality, to putting his ideas into practice. That is the key to evolution, because all the wonders that we know today were once the dream of a philosopher.When a person is only concerned with feeling the pleasures of the bodily senses, the pleasure of feeling the essence of the universe that can only be obtained with meditation is lost. Someday perhaps there are no more discoveries to find and then stimuli are the only way possible, but in a world in evolution only those seeking the truth so n able to understand the universe in its whole. Because a materialistic man only knows how to travel through a geographical territory, whereas a philosopher when he has enough intuition, is able to travel with his mind through time and space and discover a better world that he can then share with the rest of humanity. I also try to offer readers what Jesus called "the water of life" that is, the food for the spirit that philosophy provides, because just as the body feeds on matter, the spirit feeds on emotions, which is what philosophy represents. I hope this book is like a light that guides people in that ocean of lies that is the contemporary world.

Download or read book A Bit Of A Life written by George Osborne and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-07-05 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a 14-year period when the author progressed from being a boy sailor in the UK to become a chief Petty Officer in the Royal Navy. It offers a very interesting blend of life experiences of a growing young man through some frightening experiences and some happy times. Life as a boy sailor was exciting for him, but once the dark period of the WW2 emerged, things changed radically, and his knowledge and courage were tested in some dramatic experiences which are well described in his book. When he moved into the submarine service in late 1942, a very new experience awaited him and by then he was a married man entering fatherhood in the coming year and already wondering what to do when the war finally ended. The final chapter describes sadness and regrets as the author’s life radically changed with the pressures of finding a new profession and becoming a family member with three children and there was always a lingering regret at having taken the wrong pathway despite the emerging successes of his children.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Development Teaching by : Katrien Van Poeck
Download or read book Sustainable Development Teaching written by Katrien Van Poeck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to support and inspire teachers to contribute to much-needed processes of sustainable development and to develop teaching practices and professional identities that allow them to cope with the specificity of sustainability issues and, in particular, with the teaching challenges related to the ethical and political dimension of environmental and sustainability education. Bringing together recent scholarship on the topic, this book translates state-of-the-art academic research into teaching models, methods and tools. Starting with an outline of the challenge of sustainability, it offers insights and models for understanding the interesting yet ambiguous concept of ‘sustainable development’ and the complex process of transforming society in a more sustainable direction (Part I). It then goes on to provide a guide to preparing courses and lessons as well as tools for reflection about teaching practices and the multiplicity of approaches to addressing ethical and political challenges in sustainable development teaching (Part II). Finally, the book offers useful conceptual frameworks, models and typologies about the concrete design and implementation of sustainable development teaching (Part III). This book will be essential reading for students of education, as well as teachers in compulsory and higher education and sustainability education researchers.

On the trip, Matt meets a beautiful young woman named Annie Rice. They share a brief but unforgettable kiss, and as Marr starts his journey to America, he is unable to forget her. Once he arrives in New York City, he begins a correspondence with Annie; as he works his way from Pennsylvania to Ohio and, finally, to Minnesota, their love blossoms through the written word. From an iron ore mine in Tower, Minnesota, Matt joins a gold rush to Rainy Lake City and eventually buys a parcel of land outside the small village of Koochiching, Minnesota. Finally with the new home to call his own, he returns to Ireland hoping Annie will marry him. But is she already married? Will she move to America against her mothers wishes? Based on atrue story and filled with vivid historical details, A Bit of Irish Gold beautifully captures the immigrant experience.

Download or read book A Bit of Luck written by Lisa Mangum and published by WordFire +ORM. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History may be written by the victors, but it is not always written in stone. Often the difference between a win or a loss comes down to the smallest moment, the smallest shift. A bit of luck. This anthology of twenty alternate history short stories revisits several of those pivotal moments and imagines what might have happened if things had gone just a little bit differently. The authors have drawn upon the whole timeline of history to tell stories of Scottish kings and Russian czars who lived instead of died, of wars whose outcome hinged on one person’s single choice, and of inventions that might have changed the world. The collection is filled with familiar figures—including Billy the Kid, Vlad Dracula, and Jack the Ripper—as well as stories exploring two very different fates of the Roman Empire. The anthology also includes an alternate history from the fictional world of The Great Gatsby. Some stories look at events that have not yet happened, and a few blur the meaning of time itself. History can be surprisingly malleable if we simply look at it in a new light. And, with a bit of luck, the stories that connect the past to the present can lead us into a world we never imagined. A Bit of Luck is the ninth anthology edited by Lisa Mangum and published by WordFire Press. Profits support the Don Hodge Memorial Scholarship fund for the Superstars Writing Seminars.
