Sinopsis

Landslide Causes explores the multifaceted reasons behind landslides, examining the geological events that reshape landscapes and the strategies for prediction and prevention. These earth science events pose significant global risks, and the book delves into the interplay of geological, climatological, and human-induced factors. For example, while heavy rainfall is a well-known trigger, deforestation significantly exacerbates slope instability, increasing landslide frequency. The book uniquely integrates these factors into a holistic risk management framework, challenging traditional, isolated approaches.

 
Beginning with slope stability fundamentals, Landslide Causes progresses to investigate specific triggers like earthquakes and human activities through dedicated chapters. It then analyzes prediction and prevention methods, culminating in a discussion of integrated risk management and future research directions. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding valuable to students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in earth sciences, environmental science, and engineering.

    "No Way Down is both a gripping read and a clear-eyed investigation of the hubris, politics, and bad luck that brought on one of the worst disasters in modern mountaineering history." —Michael Kodas, author of High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed 
     
     
     
    "Graham Bowley's No Way Down does a great job of putting you on the mountain. It is a refreshingly unadorned account of the true brutality of climbing K2, where heroes emerge and egos are stripped down, and the only thing achieving immortality is the cold ruthless mountain." —Norman Ollestad, author of Crazy for the Storm 
     
     
     
    In the tradition of Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, No Way Down by New York Times reporter Graham Bowley is the harrowing account of the worst mountain climbing disaster on K2, second to Everest in height . . . but second to no peak in terms of danger. From tragic deaths to unbelievable stories of heroism and survival, No Way Down is an amazing feat of storytelling and adventure writing, and, in the words of explorer and author Sir Ranulph Fiennes, "the closest you can come to being on the summit of K2 on that fateful day."

    Do you believe in God? If so, which one? Is it the Christian all-knowing, all-seeing father of Jesus? Is it Allah of Islam? The many deities of Hinduism? Or are you one of those that believes in God but not religion? 
     
    Whichever box you tick on the form, you have some kind of belief. Even if you're an atheist, you believe there is no God. That we all came from nothing. But there are massive questions that mankind has asked from the very beginning. Where did everything come from? Is there a meaning to our lives? Are we alone in the universe? 
     
    These questions and many more have fascinated mankind from the moment he could reason. And eventually we created a thing called science to discover the answers. To many, science eradicated the need for God to answer all the questions we could not answer. Delete faith and replace with scientific facts. The problem is that science has not yet answered all of the questions and many believe it never will. Or has it? 
     
    Today we are beginning to understand the complexities and even strangeness of the sub-atomic world. This new quantum realm is opening up new avenues of research and new inventions. All things are made of particles. The entire universe is formed from them. And now we are creating quantum computers that think at the quantum level. What answers will the union of artificial intelligence and this amazing quantum world bring? Will we now have the answers to the ultimate questions? 
     
    This is the story of the new scientific world of particle physics and the amazing unseen world it reveals.

    Since Alan Turing first posed the question "Can machines think?" artificial intelligence has evolved from a speculative idea to a transformative force. The Shortest History of AI traces this evolution, from Ada Lovelace's visionary work to IBM's groundbreaking defeat of the chess world champion and the revolutionary emergence of ChatGPT. It also explores AI's cultural journey, touching on classics such as Frankenstein, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. 
     
    Revealing how many "overnight" successes were decades in the making, this accessible and illuminating book helps us to understand how AI functions by explaining the six key ideas that animate it: it searches for answers using predetermined symbols and means-end analysis; it bases its answers on what sort of response it thinks it will get; it follows a set of rules in order to simulate human expertise; it copies the human brain by learning from experience; it uses reinforcement learning, rewarding its own successes and punishing itself for its failures; and it uses Bayes' theorem to calculate the probability of a cause based on its effect. 
     
    Fast-paced and rich with facts, The Shortest History of AI equips listeners to understand where we've been—and where we're headed.
