More Human - How the Power of AI...

Jacqueline Carter, Rasmus...

AI has the potential to transform leadership and the human experience of work—or to lead us into an automated and uninspiring work reality. Which one will it be? 
 
 
 
Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work? 
 
 
 
So far, that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanness in our work lives. But as Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, that's a very limited perspective on the impact of AI, leaving out a crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better—the key is in how leaders use it. 
 
 
 
With deep insight and rigorous research, More Human will help leaders navigate our AI-enabled future.

Wonderdog - The Science of Dogs...

Jules Howard

Almost everywhere there are humans, there are dogs. But what do dogs know and understand of the world? Do their emotions feel like our own? Do they love like we do? What do they think of us? 
 
 
 
Since our alliance first began, our relationship with dogs has evolved considerably. In order to gauge where our relationship with dogs goes from here, author and zoologist Jules Howard takes a look at the historical paths we have trod together, and at the many scientists before him who turned their analytic eye on their own four-legged companions. 
 
 
 
Charles Darwin and his contemporaries toyed with dog sign language and made special puzzle boxes and elaborate sniff tests using old socks. Later, the same questions drove Pavlov and Pasteur to unspeakable cruelty in their search for knowledge. Since then, leagues of psychologists and animal behaviorists have built upon the study of dogs and their much-improved methods have fetched increasingly important results. 
 
 
 
With the help of vets, ethologists, neurologists, historians and his own dogs, Wonderdog reveals the study of dogs to be key in the advancement of compassion in scientific research, and crucial to making life on Earth better for all species.
