  Discordance - The Troubled...

  The troubled history of the Hubble constant told in an authoritative, comprehensible, and entertaining manner 
    
  In 1927 Georges Lemaître argued that our universe is expanding, a conclusion rendered more startling by the astronomical data that backed it up, presented two years later by Edwin Hubble. The speed of this expansion is governed by Hubble's constant, and Discordance tells its troubled history. 
    
  This unpredictable and fascinating story begins with the first tentative steps to measure the distances to nearby stars and galaxies. It traces the extraordinary interplay between cosmological theory and astronomical observation which has given us the standard Big Bang theory. It was not all plain sailing, and the narrative takes us through the discovery of dark matter, the Hubble Wars of the 1970s, the invention of cosmic inflation, and other crucial scientific moments. Further satellite missions were expected to add to the clarity of our measurements. But from about 2009 onward, the results began to diverge. This is the Hubble tension and perhaps even a crisis.  
    
  Jim Baggott clearly and entertainingly guides the reader through this gripping scientific voyage—one littered with crises of confidence, astonishing discoveries, and extraordinary personalities—which still continues today. 
    
  "Accessible, highly detailed and demanding—and therefore highly rewarding— … Baggott's well-researched work will be of as much interest to astronomers and physicists as it is to lay readers fascinated by the mysteries of the Universe."— Helge Kragh, Nature

  Bacteria - A Very Short...

  Bacteria form a fundamental branch of life. They are the oldest forms of life and the most prolific of all living organisms, inhabiting every part of the Earth's surface, its ocean depths, and even such inhospitable places as boiling hot springs. In this Very Short Introduction, bacteriologist Sebastian Amyes explores the nature of bacteria, their origin and evolution, bacteria in the environment, and bacteria and disease. Amyes discusses some of the major infections caused by bacteria-bacteria causes pneumonia, diphtheria, cholera, and many other diseases-and shows how these pathogens avoid the defenses of the human body. But the book looks at all aspects of bacteria, not just the negative side, stressing the key benefits of bacteria, which have been harnessed to preserve food, dispose of waste and to provide compost for horticulture. Indeed, life for man and for many animals would be impossible without bacteria. Amyes also offers a glance into the future, describing how bacteria might be manipulated to perform tasks that they previous were unable to perform and discussing the recent construction of a completely synthetic bacterial cell.

  The Cognitive Amplification...

  Martin K. Ettington

  This book describes a way of thinking, not a tool. 
  It argues that artificial intelligence is not intelligent, that fluent output is not understanding, and that the real risk in human–machine interaction is not that machines will replace us—but that we will stop thinking clearly while using them. The central idea of the book is cognitive amplification: using tools to extend human reasoning while preserving human judgment, intent, and responsibility. 
  Methods like this, however, face a practical problem. They are easy to understand and difficult to apply consistently. 
  Most people already believe they think in stages. In practice, intent is vague, constraints are assumed rather than defined, options are prematurely narrowed, and conclusions are accepted because they sound coherent. Under time pressure or when interacting with persuasive systems, discipline collapses. 
  This is where the Cognitive Amplification Engine (CAE) enters—not as an authority, and not as an artificial mind, but as a structured environment. 
  This book is a companion for the CAE plugin for wordpress which helps automate this structured thinking process
