  The thrilling history of the extraction and economic control of the world's major minerals – from Antiquity to the present day: gold, copper, iron, lithium, rare earths, and more.
  Why should you read this book? Mining is on the verge of regaining a central role on the global stage. As the world gradually shifts toward deglobalization and an indirect confrontation between the United States and China – while countries like Russia and India seek to assert their influence in this emerging multipolar landscape – mineral extraction is becoming ever more strategic. Meanwhile, humanity, faced with the grave threat of climate change, is undergoing an energy transition that demands (and will continue to demand) more metals than ever before. To understand the relevance of mining today, we must revisit its past. History reveals the crucial role that metals and mines have played in shaping nations' destinies – closely monitored, even in recent times like the Cold War, by governments and powerful corporations alike.
  From the jungles of the Congo to the glaciers of the Canadian Arctic, from the California Gold Rush to high-altitude excavations in Argentina, and the tale of Spanish tungsten during the Third Reich, Underground is a gripping guided tour through an ancient yet largely misunderstood industry – often reduced to caricatures and oversimplifications in public discourse.
  "Brilliant. Essential to understanding the relevance of mining today." Alberto Lavandeira, CEO of Atalaya Mining

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) pervades much of our lives. We use facial recognition to open our phones, and the state uses it to track us—so what’s the problem? Decisions are made using machine learning on our private and personal data, from shopping habits to medical history—have we lost control? We order our digital world in conversation with chatbots—how convenient, but is it changing our relationships with people? The prospect of a self-driving vehicle lies just around the corner—should we care that it might run over a child to save the passenger’s life?Jeremy Peckham shows us how we have become seduced by progress, embracing AI applications for their convenience, yet unwittingly diminishing our ability to be God’s image-bearers and losing moral responsibility. Rooted in the biblical truth that humanity is created in God’s image, Masters or Slaves? explores six ways in which AI has an impact today. We are challenged where, and how, to set boundaries, both privately and as a society, in order not to fall into addiction, slavery, and idolatry.

  The Human Place in Nature -...

  John Schooneveldt

  This book explores a new approach to understanding the evolution of mind and consciousness by examining the perceptual abilities of animals and the way they experience their world. It offers a science-based, bottom-up approach to our own conscious worldview by seeing it through the eyes of others. Human ecologist John Schooneveldt emphasizes the role of context in evolution and the way animals internalize and engage with the contextual properties of their world that are meaningful for them. The core argument is that a context, which is subjective and comprised of the perceptual capacities, offers new insights into the evolution of mind. Rather than seeing biological evolution in terms of the emergence of mindless forms and cultural evolution as the emergence of disembodied minds, the book seeks to integrate these two perspectives through the rigorous mapping of contexts. 
   
  Key FeaturesReveals an understanding of animal mindsFormulates a hypothesis for the evolution of consciousnessIncludes a discussion of the origin of technological innovationProvides a rationale for the ecology of mindProposes a theory of the evolution of languageOutlines the science of experience and how it influences choiceExplains the role of context and choice with respect, especially to human ecology

  What separates a programmed machine from a conscious mind? Can artificial intelligence ever truly replicate the instinct, awareness, and depth of human thought? 
  In Artificial Intelligence Versus Living Mind Intelligence, V. Nova offers a bold and original critique of modern technological thinking. Blending philosophy, cognitive science, and decades of independent research, this groundbreaking work argues that artificial systems can process information, but they cannot perceive, intuit, or create like a living mind. 
  Nova challenges readers to rethink what intelligence really means and reveals how modern reliance on digital abstraction has disconnected us from our innate, creative capacities. Through a unique framework grounded in natural perception and timeless logic, the author explores the fundamental differences between mechanical simulation and true cognition. 
  Inside, you will discover:Why AI cannot replicate self-initiated, living intelligenceHow perception-not reflection-shapes our understanding of realityThe lost role of philosophy in shaping modern consciousnessA deep exploration of instinct, awareness, and the nature of thoughtA compelling argument for reclaiming the language of the living mind 
  If you're questioning the future of artificial intelligence, or searching for deeper insight into your own mind, this book offers a powerful, thought-provoking journey back to what makes us truly human.
