    Artificial Intelligence (AI) migrates from academic centers and into the business world. Top-leading businesses are harnessing its power through thousands of industries: from banks analyzing multiple data points in seconds to detecting fraud to call the center implementation of chatbots to boost customer experiences.  
    A significant increase in AI and machine learning related software, frameworks, and applications were witnessed during 2018. These innovations have had an influence not only on the internet and the software industry but also on other verticals such as manufacturing, education, legal, automotive, and farming. Organizations such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and IBM are investing in AI research and development that will help customers immensely by bringing AI closer.  
    A majority of people still equate artificial intelligence with science fiction dystopias, but that image is gradually fading as artificial intelligence evolves and becomes more prevalent in everyday life. Artificial intelligence has become a household name today.

    About 
     
    The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel Van der Kolk, M.D. • Trauma can occur anywhere, any time and to anyone. It takes on many forms – war, rape, crime, car accidents and so on. To the onlooker, it might appear that a traumatic event has a beginning, middle and end. But for those who have experienced it, the trauma just doesn’t end. It becomes a part of them, an inescapable horror present throughout their daily lives – an endless, visceral reminder of their terror and helplessness. In The Body Keeps the Score, Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, one of the world’s preeminent psychiatrists specializing in post-traumatic stress, reveals how traditional methods of therapy – talk therapy and medications – are limited in their effectiveness to treat trauma. He takes us step-by-step through the physiological effects of trauma, and explains why the brain remembers trauma in a completely different way than it remembers everything else. Then, he takes us on a journey through holistic methods of treating trauma – methods that engage the body and soul together in order to rewire the brain and provide relief from the devastating effects of post-traumatic stress. 
     
    In this summary you will learn: 
     
    - Why trauma continues to profoundly affect individuals long after the instant of trauma has passed. 
     
    - Why it is essential that our systems of labeling and diagnosing trauma-based disorders continue to adjust and evolve with new research. 
     
    - Why traditional talk therapy and drug therapies must be supplemented with holistic healing methods such as EMDR, yoga and massage.

    "What I love most about it is the underlying theme of reclaiming goodness and joy from evil and sorrow. Knocks most of that gooey, superficial children's stuff into a cocked hat! What a story! It’s great to be back on Infinity. The whole family is singing along." Clare VincentThe Story

    The author of The Physics of Star Trek “expands his scope to address other sci-fi hits, ranging from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey to TV’s The X-Files” (Kirkus Reviews). 
     
    In the bestselling The Physics of Star Trek, the renowned theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss took readers on an entertaining and eye-opening tour of the Star Trek universe to see how it stacked up against the real universe. Now, responding to requests for more as well as to a number of recent exciting discoveries in physics and astronomy, Krauss takes a provocative look at how the laws of physics relate to notions from our popular culture—not only Star Trek, but other films, shows, and popular lore—from Independence Day to Star Wars to The X-Files.What’s the difference between a flying saucer and a flying pretzel?Why didn’t the aliens in Independence Day have to bother invading Earth to destroy it?What’s new with warp drives?What’s the most likely scenario for doomsday?Are ESP and telekinesis impossible?What do clairvoyance and time travel have in common?How might quantum mechanics ultimately affect the fate of life in the universe? 
     
    “Combining hard science and popular culture, this delightful follow-up to Krauss’s The Physics of Star Trek continues to explore the possibilities, principles and improbabilities of science fiction . . . Relaxed and full of lively conversation, Krauss is the physics teacher we all wish we had had in high school.” —Publishers Weekly
