  Why do some societies crumble under pressure while others rise stronger? 
  What can the past teach us about surviving the shocks of the future? 
  And how can humanity adapt in the age of AI? 
  From the fall of empires to the dawn of algorithms, "Bend or Break" reveals the hidden patterns that determine whether societies endure or collapse. Boyson Sante takes readers across centuries of upheaval—wars, migrations, pandemics, financial crashes—to uncover the forces that shape resilience. At the heart of the book lies the Adaptation Equation, a framework showing how accountable institutions, trustworthy information, and shared progress make the difference between renewal and ruin.

  Evolutionary Intelligence - How...

  It is natural for us to fear artificial intelligence. But does Siri really want to kill us? Perhaps we are falling into the trap of projecting human traits onto the machines we might build. In Evolutionary Intelligence, Neuman offers a surprisingly positive vision in which computational intelligence compensates for the well-recognized limits of human judgment, improves decision making, and actually increases our agency. Neuman takes the listener on an exciting, fast-paced ride, all the while making a convincing case about a revolution in computationally augmented human intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Neuman argues that, just as the wheel made us mobile and machines made us stronger, the migration of artificial intelligence from room-sized computers to laptops to our watches, smart glasses, and even smart contact lenses will transform day-to-day human decision making. If intelligence is the capacity to match means with ends, then augmented intelligence can offer the ability to adapt to changing environments as we face the ultimate challenge of long-term survival. Tapping into a global interest in technology's potential impacts on society, economics, and culture, Evolutionary Intelligence demonstrates that our future depends on our ability to computationally compensate for the limitations of a human cognitive system that has only recently graduated from hunting and gathering.

  Does Coffee Cause Cancer? - And...

  In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions:
  		
  		Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers?
  		Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat?
  		Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point?
  		Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label?
  		Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox?
  		Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize?
  		Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don’t need to worry about cholesterol?
  		Should I be taking vitamin D?
