Sinopsis

"Barge Traditions" unveils the remarkable story of humanity's oldest and most enduring form of inland transportation, revealing how these humble vessels continue to move more cargo on waterways than any other method.From ancient Mesopotamian reed boats to today's sophisticated river convoys, the book charts the fascinating evolution of barge transportation and its profound impact on civilization's development. Through a compelling blend of archaeological evidence and historical records, readers discover how barges shaped the growth of early civilizations along the Nile and Roman waterways.The narrative expertly weaves together technical innovations in hull design and cargo handling with their broader implications for trade and economic development. Particularly noteworthy is the book's exploration of the industrial revolution's canal-building boom, which revolutionized commerce across Europe and North America.The text bridges past and present by examining contemporary barge operations on major river systems like the Mississippi, Rhine, and Yangtze. By combining historical analysis with modern operational insights, the book demonstrates why barges remain crucial for global commerce, especially in transporting bulk commodities.This comprehensive examination of waterborne commerce offers valuable perspectives for logistics professionals, historians, and anyone interested in sustainable transportation, supported by clear technical explanations and real-world examples throughout.

    Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
     
    For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
     
    From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

    Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
     
       
     
    In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
     
      
     
    Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.
