  Leaders, don't let AI get the best of you. 
   
   
   
  AI is coming fast and will affect every part of a business, including the role of the leader. And up until now, leaders have largely ceded their role in the transformation—pushing determination of strategy out to tech teams and leaving investment decisions with groups that don't have a full view of the organization. Just when responsible leadership is more imperative than ever, leaders are not stepping up to understand and execute in the new world of human-machine collaboration. A generation of AI transformation failures awaits if leaders don't connect their use of AI to their strategies. 
   
   
   
  This book helps leaders retake control of the wildly rapid deployment of AI across organizations. It outlines cleanly and concisely nine actions leaders need to take to successfully steward a transition to a more AI-centric future that will lead to growth for all—companies and workers—and avoid the kinds of mistakes that author David De Cremer has seen many early adopters already make. This is not a book about AI technology itself or the latest developments in machine learning but rather a clarion call for leaders to take their rightful place at the front of the AI revolution and lead their organization into the new world.

  Weather Science - How...

  Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. 
   
  For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers. 
   
  From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

  Clinical Immunology -...

  Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that focuses on the study of the immune system, its functions, and the role it plays in protecting the body from pathogens and other harmful invaders. It encompasses the recognition of foreign molecules and the activation of mechanisms to neutralize or eliminate these threats, while maintaining tolerance to self-tissues. Immunology is an evolving field that links various disciplines, including microbiology, genetics, and molecular biology, in understanding how the body defends itself against diseases. 
  The immune system is a complex network of cells, proteins, and organs that work together to provide protection against infections and malignancies. It is composed of two major arms: innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the first line of defense, offering a rapid but non-specific response to a wide range of pathogens. In contrast, adaptive immunity is more specialized, offering a delayed but highly specific response to pathogens, with the ability to "remember" previous encounters and respond more effectively in the future. 
  Historically, the field of immunology has been shaped by significant discoveries that have helped define the immune system's components and their roles. The work of pioneers such as Louis Pasteur, Edward Jenner, and Robert Koch laid the foundation for our understanding of immunity, particularly in relation to vaccines and infectious diseases. As research advanced, immunology expanded into areas like autoimmunity, immunodeficiencies, and cancer immunology, offering new insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

  Biocivilisations - A New Look at...

  Biocivilisations is an important, original rethinking of the mystery of life and its deep uncertainty, exploring the complex civilisations that existed on Earth long before humans.  
  What is life? Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Yet there is a growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists who reject this view. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but deeply misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, that principle must acknowledge the creativity of life, turning genetic determinism on its head.  
  The term biocivilisations is the acknowledgement of this uncertainty of life, as opposed to a quasi-certainty of the human position governed by a narrow time window of the scientific revolution. Life existed without humans for more than 99.99 percent of the Earth’s existence. Life will also continue without humans long after our inevitable extinction.  
  In Biocivilisations, Dr Predrag Slijep?evi? shows how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but demonstrate elements of how we celebrate human civilisation – complex communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more.  
  Humans must try to adopt this wisdom from other biocivilisations that have long preceded our own. By rethinking the current scientific paradigm, Dr Slijep?evi? makes clear that a transformation – from a naïve young species into a more mature species in tune with its surroundings – will save us from our own violence and the violence we inflict on the rest of our living planet.
