  A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history. 
  As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.

  In The AI Illusion: Why Machines Aren't Creative, Luc Julia dismantles the hype surrounding generative AI by revealing what these technologies can actually do (as of today) versus what their promoters claim. Drawing on over thirty-five years' experience in the tech industry, Julia exposes the fundamental truth that generative AI doesn't create—it recombines existing data in response to prompts, producing impressive but ultimately derivative outputs that lack genuine creativity and understanding. 
  This essential guide takes listeners on a comprehensive journey through AI's past, present, and future, systematically debunking seven pervasive myths that shape public perception of artificial intelligence. Julia examines the technical limitations, societal implications, and environmental costs of generative AI while providing practical insights into how these tools function and where they're headed. 
  The book reveals the technical reality behind generative AI's "hallucinations," biases, and inability to reason or understand language; analyzes the economic and employment impacts of AI adoption across industries and society; demonstrates why artificial general intelligence (AGI) remains scientifically impossible with current approaches; and provides actionable solutions for more responsible AI development and regulation.

People are slowly realizing that development is not always good. We are exploiting our earth, but we should be looking after it, because we only have this one. Slowly, however, a rethink is taking place and people are trying to undo past mistakes. Attempts are being made to reduce CO₂ emissions, conserve the earth's resources and pay more attention to nature. But once we have become accustomed to a certain standard of living, it is difficult to give it up again or change our habits.This book addresses the main problems facing our planet, discusses topics such as climate change, agricultural use, the energy transition and the extinction of species and gives advice and tips on how each individual can help to do something good for nature and the environment. It is up to everyone to make the world a better place.
