Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As heard on NPR's "Science Friday," discover the book recommended by Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Daniel Pink, and Adam Grant: an "accessible, informative, and hilarious" introduction to the weird and wonderful world of artificial intelligence (Ryan North). "You look like a thing and I love you" is one of the best pickup lines ever . . . according to an artificial intelligence trained by scientist Janelle Shane, creator of the popular blog AI Weirdness. She creates silly AIs that learn how to name paint colors, create the best recipes, and even flirt (badly) with humans—all to understand the technology that governs so much of our daily lives. We rely on AI every day for recommendations, for translations, and to put cat ears on our selfie videos. We also trust AI with matters of life and death, on the road and in our hospitals. But how smart is AI really... and how does it solve problems, understand humans, and even drive self-driving cars? Shane delivers the answers to every AI question you've ever asked, and some you definitely haven't. Like, how can a computer design the perfect sandwich? What does robot-generated Harry Potter fan-fiction look like? And is the world's best Halloween costume really "Vampire Hog Bride"? In this smart, often hilarious introduction to the most interesting science of our time, Shane shows how these programs learn, fail, and adapt—and how they reflect the best and worst of humanity. You Look Like a Thing and I Love You is the perfect book for anyone curious about what the robots in our lives are thinking. "I can't think of a better way to learn about artificial intelligence, and I've never had so much fun along the way." —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals

Book excerpt: The second novel in the wildly popular First Law Trilogy from New York Times bestseller Joe Abercrombie. Superior Glokta has a problem. How do you defend a city surrounded by enemies and riddled with traitors, when your allies can by no means be trusted, and your predecessor vanished without a trace? It's enough to make a torturer want to run -- if he could even walk without a stick. Northmen have spilled over the border of Angland and are spreading fire and death across the frozen country. Crown Prince Ladisla is poised to drive them back and win undying glory. There is only one problem -- he commands the worst-armed, worst-trained, worst-led army in the world. And Bayaz, the First of the Magi, is leading a party of bold adventurers on a perilous mission through the ruins of the past. The most hated woman in the South, the most feared man in the North, and the most selfish boy in the Union make a strange alliance, but a deadly one. They might even stand a chance of saving mankind from the Eaters -- if they didn't hate each other quite so much. Ancient secrets will be uncovered. Bloody battles will be won and lost. Bitter enemies will be forgiven -- but not before they are hanged.

Drawing on feminist social constructionist perspectives the book seeks to examine this epidemic of body-hatred.

Download or read book Gregor Mendel written by Edward Edelson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-24 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Gregor Mendel passed away in 1884, not a single scholar recognized his epochal contributions to biology. The unassuming abbot of the Augustinian monastery in Brno (in today's Czech Republic) was rediscovered at the turn of the century when scientists were stunned to learn that their findings about inheritance had already been made by an unknown monk three decades earlier. A dedicated researcher who spent every spare hour in the study of the natural sciences, Mendel devised a series of brilliantly simple experiments using a plant easily grown on the monastery's grounds--the garden pea. In the course of just a few years he made the famous discoveries that later became the centerpiece of the science of heredity. In an entertaining and thoroughly informed narrative, Edward Edelson traces Mendel's life from his humble origins to his posthumous fame, giving us both a brief introduction to the fascinating science of genetics and an inspired account of what a modest man can accomplish with dedication and ingenuity. Oxford Portraits in Science is an ongoing series of scientific biographies for young adults. Written by top scholars and writers, each biography examines the personality of its subject as well as the thought process leading to his or her discoveries. These illustrated biographies combine accessible technical information with compelling personal stories to portray the scientists whose work has shaped our understanding of the natural world.

Download or read book You're Only Innocent Once, And Once Is Not Enough written by Martin Terrell and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Are Only Innocent Once, and Once Is Not Enough shows how one man manages to break free of the recidivism cycle and maintain his freedom by going to college while in prison and achieves unparalleled success after his release. A former drug abuser and ex-felon, Martin Terrell is arrested for a crime he didn't commit and sentenced to six to twenty-five years in prison. His claims of innocence are dismissed by all who know him because of his past record. Forced to face the injustice alone, he vows to write a new life story, one that no longer fits the story he'd written as a youth in Cincinnati. Inside again, he manages to control his environment to his advantage and attends the college program offered by the Chillicothe Correctional Institution and Ohio University. Five years later, he graduates summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree. In an unprecedented move, he is awarded a graduate scholarship to the Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University upon his release. The rest of the book follows Martin's new script as it unfolds through graduate school at OU and his following career. He becomes the coauthor of a textbook while still a master's student. After working for two years as a member of Ohio University's development office, he is appointed the assistant dean for development in the College of Arts and Sciences. With stops at Florida State University and eventually the United Negro College Fund, he becomes his own man as the vice president and campaign manager for development at Stony Brook University in New York. In this age of civil unrest with its focus on civil injustice and an unjust criminal justice system, You Are Only Innocent Once, and Once Is Not Enough offers a strand of redemption. The story of a man unfairly stripped of his freedom, primarily because he's black and has a previous record, contains all the elements that are under assault for criminal justice reform and penal reform. Martin's use of education to win a victory over that injustice gives us a success story that anyone can identify with.

Download or read book Eden Altered- an Odyssey in Double Time written by Edgar Erdman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Andrew takes a young boy named Andrew Engleman from the summer of 1938 through World War Two and the Cold War, including the hot intervals in Korea and Vietnam and the swift expansion of terrorist activity on a global scale that led to punitive incursions into the hotbeds of the Middle East by coalitions of Western powers under the leadership of the United States. It also provides the reader with a glimpse of what the world may be like a few decades hence. The author hopes to promote greater understanding of the historical significance of the Korean War, which has been labeled "The Forgotten War". It was an undeclared war for which none of the belligerent parties, excepting North Korea, was fully prepared at the start. Close to 4.5 million human beings, less than half of whom were in military service, were killed, injured or reported missing during the 37 months and two days of its duration. North Korea, South Korea and China suffered the greatest number of casualties, both military and civilian. The total for the United States alone was 136,826 combatants. The Korean War brought us perilously close to a third world war that almost certainly would have been nuclear. It was the first war in which American infantry units were fully integrated, blacks and whites serving harmoniously together. And it was the only real war to have been fought under the aegis and flag of the United Nations. It stands out as a chapter in the annals of warfare that contains many important lessons for us all. And in this book it is the constant backdrop against which the protagonist's experiences and thought processes are highlighted as they unfold before our eyes.

Book excerpt: With the Great War over, the Renshai have won back the Fields of Wrath. As the survivors limp homeward, Tae Kahn--Subikahn's father--fears that a far larger and fiercer wave of enemy soldiers is headed toward them. One Kjempemagiska and an army of their man-sized servants nearly defeated the entire Continent. This time, Tae is certain the ranks will include hundreds of these strong, magical, island-dwelling giants. The only hope for the peoples of the Continent is to regather their war-weary troops and convince the few magical beings of their own world to assist them. It becomes a race against time as Tae, his friends, and his family struggle to convince the Continental generals of the danger; attempt to turn reluctant, antagonistic mages and elves into allies; spy on the giant Kjempemagiska sorcerors; and seek some means to defeat an enemy powerful beyond contemplation.

Download or read book Fifty Shades of Fae written by Ian Wood and published by Ian Wood. This book was released on 2023-05-20 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the author created this fantasy world, he had no idea that fairy magic could make it real... or that he'd no longer be in control. Author Lewis Liddell had run into problems with his Demonrayne fantasy series with each new volume selling worse than its predecessor. His editor was on his case to rewrite volume four when, in a redux of what had triggered him to write that original series, he had another dream, this time about a fantasy world that was radically different from anything other authors were doing. His editor was negative on starting something new before he'd finished volume four, but he felt a powerful muse to continue down this path. The last thing he expected was for a fairy named Fae Rae to disappear from his story and appear in his study right as he was concluding a chapter. And for her to take charge. He'd never confused his fictional life with the real one. Now they were both the same. Set in the same universe as Fairy Tale, Bad Fairy, Spelter Skelter, Powers That Be, and She-Male, this story continues to build worlds of magical wonder.
