Synopsis

"The Fan Evolution" explores the surprisingly rich history of fans, tracing their development from ancient status symbols to essential components of modern climate control. The book examines how fans embody humanity's ongoing quest for comfort and efficiency, revealing the intricate interplay between technology, culture, and our environment. Interestingly, early fans held significant cultural roles, serving as religious artifacts and fashion accessories, reflecting social hierarchies.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with hand-held fans and their cultural context, then transitioning to the mechanical innovations behind electric fans, and culminating in their integration into complex climate control systems. Readers will discover how advancements in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and engineering have shaped fan technology, influencing everything from ventilation to energy efficiency. Engineering diagrams and historical documents support the analysis.

 
This book uniquely combines social history with detailed technical analyses, making it valuable for students of engineering, history, and anyone curious about the evolution of everyday technologies. By understanding the principles behind air movement and energy consumption, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the technologies they use daily and their environmental impact.

    Turing's Vision - How AI is...

    Chat-GPT, humanoid robotics, and self-driving cars are just a few of the things that are changing our everyday lives. The rapid advancement of AI is eroding one by one all the cornerstones considered unique of human nature: language, consciousness, creativity, and moral responsibility. The book argues that the revolution we are facing is driven by Alan Turing's "vision". This vision rests on the idea that intelligence is not an intrinsic property of human beings, but is a way in which matter is functionally organized and an attribute we are naturally inclined to ascribe to certain entities. For decades we have pretended that this idea does not have the corrosive power that it actually does, perhaps more so than the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions. But now, given the achievements of new forms of computing based on deep learning and predictive coding, the most common intuitions can no longer avoid the dangerous Turing idea. 
     
    The book is intended for scholars, researchers, and listeners intrigued by the intersections across disciplines interested in understanding the philosophical, ethical, and social implications of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on human nature.

    Scalpels, Egos, Libidos. Is anybody in this hospital under control? 
    In surgery, every cut changes a body forever. But what do you really know about the person holding the knife? Are their bodies betraying them and their desires distracting them? Does doubt haunt them and pride destroy them? 
    This is the story of the surgeons who stole a leg and saved a life. They are  the ones falling apart in the tearoom afterwards. The aging consultant who can feel his hands betraying him. The single mother questioning every 
    cut she's ever made. The brilliant surgeon whose ego writes cheques 
    his marriage can't cash. The trainee left holding the blame when a surgeon decides his reputation matters more than the truth. Two women torn apart by a lascivious outsider. And a woman who holds them all together. 
    Set in tropical North Queensland; Where is My F***N Leg?! is about the tribes we belong to in operating theatres, in marriages, in the quiet hours when there's nothing left to hide behind. 
    It's funny. It's searing. It's painful. 
    A blisteringly honest account of loss, lust, trust, betrayal and the uncomfortable truth that the people cutting you open are just as breakable as the rest of us.
