Sinopsis

Chinese Inventions explores the profound impact of China's technological innovations on world history, focusing on paper, gunpowder, the compass, and printing. These inventions revolutionized communication, warfare, navigation, and knowledge dissemination. The book argues that these key technologies, originating in Chinese civilization, accelerated global progress and modernization, challenging Eurocentric views of technological advancement. For instance, the invention of paper not only transformed record-keeping but also paved the way for widespread literacy.

 
The book examines the genesis and early development of these inventions within China, detailing the processes involved in their creation and refinement. It then traces the routes through which these technologies spread westward, analyzing their transformative impact on European societies. The structured approach allows readers to understand how gunpowder changed warfare, the compass enabled exploration, and printing facilitated the Renaissance and Reformation.

 
By using historical texts, archaeological findings, and secondary sources, Chinese Inventions presents a well-supported account of China's contribution to global technology and cultural exchange.

Footprint of a Heart - 18000...

Shayla Paradeis

*This Recording Includes Five Original Songs* 
Imagine having all of you needs reduced to the things you can't live without; food, water, and shelter. 
In Footprint of a Heart, Shayla Paradeis, whose trail name is Kiddo, ventures off the path of musical theater at age 21 and moves from Manhattan to Montana. Trading tap shoes for hiking boots, she sculpts a life outdoors as a long-distance hiker. By age 34, she hiked the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails, the Haute Route in the Alps, and the Te Araroa across New Zealand. As well as thousands of joyful miles running across the land of her dreams, Glacier National Park. All without a smart phone. 
Kiddo shares the trailside moments of five long journeys, including barren deserts, windy ridges above tree line, ocean tides in estuaries, narrow spaces between the painted lines of highways and guardrails, and countless peaks, passes, meadows, and valleys. Her ventures take her through swarms of bugs, knee-deep mud, every kind of precipitation imaginable, and the threat of rattlesnakes, bears, charging bulls, and one angry mama turkey. 
Journeys are often more internal than external. As she walks, she learns that counting miles can be a self-measurement as dangerous as body-image or money. The need to connect is the true north. With an openness taught through the trees, she experiences a fulfillment she never dreamed possible. Trails are no longer a thing to do, they're a place to be.

Turing's Vision - How AI is...

Alessio Plebe, Pietro Perconti

Chat-GPT, humanoid robotics, and self-driving cars are just a few of the things that are changing our everyday lives. The rapid advancement of AI is eroding one by one all the cornerstones considered unique of human nature: language, consciousness, creativity, and moral responsibility. The book argues that the revolution we are facing is driven by Alan Turing's "vision". This vision rests on the idea that intelligence is not an intrinsic property of human beings, but is a way in which matter is functionally organized and an attribute we are naturally inclined to ascribe to certain entities. For decades we have pretended that this idea does not have the corrosive power that it actually does, perhaps more so than the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions. But now, given the achievements of new forms of computing based on deep learning and predictive coding, the most common intuitions can no longer avoid the dangerous Turing idea. 
 
The book is intended for scholars, researchers, and listeners intrigued by the intersections across disciplines interested in understanding the philosophical, ethical, and social implications of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on human nature.
