  Flint - a lithic love letter

  'A very British love-letter to the beauty of flint' Daily Telegraph
  Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember.
  It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available.
  It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies.
  In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs.
  Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls 'an art project of the great divine'.

  Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
   
   
   
  Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
   
   
   
  A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.

  The Ethics of Artificial...

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology that has evolved from theoretical concepts into practical applications in various sectors. At its core, AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. These machines are programmed to analyze data, recognize patterns, and make decisions with little or no human intervention. While AI is often associated with futuristic visions of robots and autonomous systems, it is already an integral part of our daily lives, from voice assistants like Siri to recommendation algorithms used by platforms like Netflix and Amazon. 
  The history of AI dates back to ancient times, with early concepts of artificial beings found in mythology and philosophical musings. However, the field of AI as we know it began to take shape in the mid-20th century, with the work of pioneers such as Alan Turing, who proposed the idea of a machine that could simulate any human intelligence. In 1956, the term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined at the Dartmouth Conference, marking the formal beginning of AI research. Since then, AI has gone through cycles of optimism, disappointment, and resurgence, fueled by advances in computer science, mathematics, and data availability. 
  Today, AI is classified into different categories, with two primary types being narrow AI and general AI. Narrow AI refers to systems designed to handle specific tasks, such as facial recognition, language translation, or playing chess. These systems excel in their designated tasks but are limited in their ability to perform functions outside of their programming. In contrast, general AI, still a theoretical concept, refers to machines that possess the capability to understand and reason across a wide range of tasks, much like humans. While narrow AI is already commonplace, general AI remains a subject of intense research and debate within the scientific community.
