  The hilarious, poignant and sometimes bizarre stories of an extraordinary vet in rural France
  
  Sylvain Balteau works as a village vet in the Pyrenees. Equally at home with a sick hamster as with a pregnant Charolais cow, he is permanently on call, immersed in the daily dramas of animals and their people.
  
  Since 2007 he has kept a blog, revealing the hidden side of a vet's work and the rich variety of French rural life. As well as caring for the usual puppies and elderly cats, he tries to save a man's pet piglet and patches up hunting dogs after the annual wild boar hunt. Then he can be found carrying a newborn calf into a remote farmhouse to warm up by the fire, or pleading with a farmer's wife on the verge of a heart attack who insists that the vet see her sick cow first …
  
  Through his work with their animals, Sylvain gains a privileged insight into the people who live with them. In this profound and unsentimental book, he discovers that, in order to love animals, you can't help but love people as well.

  Postmodern Philosophy and the...

  A groundbreaking, interdisciplinary approach to the study of consciousness: “Beautifully written, engaging throughout, and captivating” (Claire Colebrook, The Pennsylvania State University).   What can come of a scientific engagement with postmodern philosophy? Some scientists have claimed that the social sciences and humanities have nothing to contribute, except perhaps peripherally, to their research. Dorothea E. Olkowski shows that mathematics itself—the historic link between science and philosophy—plays a fundamental role in the development of the worldviews that drive both fields.   Focusing on language, its usage and expression of worldview, she develops a phenomenological account of human thought and action to explicate the role of philosophy in the sciences. Olkowski proposes a model of phenomenology, both scientific and philosophical, that helps make sense of reality and composes an ethics for dealing with unpredictability in our world.

  Complexity is usually confused with the term complicated. There are many different elements, individuals and particles in a complex system that interact with each other. They also respond to the environments. These elements, individuals and particles are inter-genius in terms of the information, knowledge or otherwise. Interaction involves interchanging information and knowledge. There is no central control or a centralized processing unit in a complex system. We are surrounded by complex systems, for example, our brain, the biosystem, immune system, traffic, the financial system, society, social media, economy, etc. are all complex systems. It can also be seen in a different branch of academics such as physics, mathematics, biology logistics, sociology, etc. Discussions amongst various intellectuals reveal that different complex system in different environments has certain things in common. They need a common methodology or a common language to be analyzed and described.

  There is a huge effort underway in industry and universities to develop the next generation of more intelligent, autonomous, mobile robots. Accompanying these arrivals has been a steady stream of inflammatory articles in the media raising concerns over the impending specter of super-intelligentrobots, along with stories about how most jobs will soon be lost to robots.Here, using the question-and-answer format, Phil Husbands gives a balanced and broad introduction to robotics and the current state of the field, analyzing where it has come from, and where it might go in the future. He begins with the history of robotics and its complex relationship with popularculture, and then moves on to discuss the technology underlying robots in an engaging, non-technical way, exploring the limits of what robots can actually do now and what they might be able to do in the future. Naturally these machines are attracting great attention. Do they pose a threat or an unprecedented opportunity? And although the "singularity" may not be something to worry about, there are certainly ethical issues needing consideration as robots with some intelligence are used increasingly across many sectors. Husbands considers both these ethical problems and also the wider socio-political challenges that robots are already creating, and the larger ones they might bring in the future.
