Sinopsis

"Superstorms" examines the science behind extreme weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes, focusing on prediction, intensification, and the impact of climate change. Understanding these increasingly powerful storms is critical for public safety and environmental planning. For instance, rising sea surface temperatures can significantly intensify hurricanes, while shifts in atmospheric patterns may increase tornado frequency. The book explains how forecasting technologies have evolved, from basic observations to sophisticated computer models. It highlights the atmospheric and oceanic conditions that fuel storm power and explores the link between climate change and the increasing severity of these events.

 
"Superstorms" presents a logical progression of concepts, beginning with foundational atmospheric science and moving to the specific dynamics of hurricanes and tornadoes. Later chapters delve into prediction methods, climate change impacts, and mitigation strategies, such as improved infrastructure. By integrating scientific analysis with practical guidance, the book provides valuable insights for policymakers, emergency professionals, and anyone interested in understanding and preparing for extreme weather.

    A social history of AI that finally reveals its roots in the spatial computation of industrial factories and the surveillance of collective behaviour. 
     
     
     
    What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence," a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. 
     
     
     
    The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the imitation of biological intelligence, but the intelligence of labour and social relations, as it is found in Babbage's "calculating engines" of the industrial age as well as in the recent algorithms for image recognition and surveillance. 
     
     
     
    The idea that AI may one day become autonomous (or "sentient", as someone thought of Google's LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms have always imitated the form of social relations and the organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their purpose remains blind automation. 
     
     
     
    The Eye of the Master urges a new literacy on AI for scientists, journalists and new generations of activists, who should recognise that the "mystery" of AI is just the automation of labour at the highest degree, not intelligence per se. 
     
    This audiobook is expertly read by Dennis Kleinman, with audio engineering by Mike Thal. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

    The CompTIA Network+ certification has become a mainstay staple of the IT world. It is proof that an IT professional is capable of designing, implementing, and configuring functional networks. 
    Despite this, there’s a dreadful lack of quality guides made by people with actual experience on the subject. 
    Do you want to finish the CompTIA Network+ certification without a hitch? 
    Do you want to learn all the knowledge you’ll need to know to maintain, design, and implement your own functional networks? 
    Do you want to understand how to troubleshoot your network problems? 
    Then this is the guide for you! 
    In this 3rd installment of the CompTIA Network+ guides, we’ll be bringing all of the knowledge you gained from the first two full circle and tie everything together for you. Furthermore, we’ll take some of the subjects that we haven’t quite explored entirely and go in even more depth. 
    By the end of this book, you’ll be able to walk into any test and pass it with flying colors. 
    If you want to be able to confidently not only say that you passed the CompTIA Network+ certification exam, but that you are a true IT professional, then this is the right series for you.

    You've heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These "supercontinents" from Earth's past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like—and what to name it—they all agree: one is coming. 
     
     
     
    In this engaging work, geophysicist Ross Mitchell invites listeners to remote (and sometimes treacherous) lands for evidence of past supercontinents, delves into the phenomena that will birth the next, and presents the case for the future supercontinent of Amasia, defined by the merging of North America and Asia. Introducing listeners to plate tectonic theory through fieldwork adventures and accessible scientific descriptions, Mitchell considers flows deep in the Earth's mantle to explain Amasia's future formation and shows how this developing theory can illuminate other planetary mysteries. He then poses the inevitable question: how can humanity survive the intervening 200 million years necessary to see Amasia? 
     
     
     
    An expert on the supercontinent cycle, Mitchell offers listeners a front-row seat to a slow-motion mystery and an ongoing scientific debate.
