Epidemics

Hippocrates

The term "epidemic" is used to describe the spread of a disease or condition to a large number of people. The word "epidemic" is derived from the Greek word "epi", meaning "upon", and "demos", meaning "people". Hippocrates, a Greek physician who lived in the fourth century BC, was one of the first to use the term "epidemic". He used it to describe the spread of disease through a population. Read in English, unabridged.

Artificial Intelligence -...

Bright Mills

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative field of computer science dedicated to building systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, language understanding, and decision-making. This comprehensive guide explores the foundational principles of AI, its historical evolution, methodologies, real-world applications, ethical challenges, and the future it holds. The document begins by defining AI, its goals, and its place in the broader field of computer science. It discusses the major branches, such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and expert systems. Following that, the paper delves into the historical timeline of AI from early philosophical concepts to the rise of neural networks and deep learning in the 21st century. The core methodologies are explored in-depth, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, as well as symbolic AI, heuristic approaches, and hybrid models. It further illustrates how AI is integrated across industries like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, transportation, and defense. The guide also addresses the critical ethical and societal questions surrounding AI: data privacy, algorithmic bias, surveillance, job displacement, and the need for regulation and responsible AI development.
Finally, it speculates on the future trajectory of AI, including artificial general intelligence (AGI), quantum AI, and human-AI symbiosis. It highlights both the immense opportunities AI offers and the serious challenges it poses.
This 10,000-word exposition aims to serve students, researchers, policymakers, and enthusiasts by offering a detailed, accessible, and balanced perspective on one of the most powerful technologies of the 21st century.

Nature's Wild Ideas - How the...

Kristy Hamilton

When astronomers wanted a telescope that could capture X-rays from celestial bodies, they looked to the lobster. When doctors wanted a medication that could stabilize Type II diabetic patients, they found their muse in a lizard. When scientists wanted to drastically reduce emissions in cement manufacturing, they observed how corals construct their skeletons in the sea. This is biomimicry in action: taking inspiration from nature to tackle human challenges. 
 
 
 
In Nature's Wild Ideas, Kristy Hamilton goes behind the scenes of some of our most unexpected innovations. She traverses frozen waterfalls, treks through cloudy forests, discovers nests in the Mojave desert, scours intertidal zones, and takes us to the deepest oceans and near volcanoes to introduce us to the animals and plants that have inspired everything from cargo routing systems to non-toxic glues, and the men and women who followed that first spark of "I wonder" all the way to its conclusion, sometimes against all odds. 
 
 
 
While the joy of scientific discovery is front and center, Nature's Wild Ideas is also a love letter to nature—complete with a deep message of conservation: If we are to continue learning from the creatures around us, we must protect their untamed homelands.

A Question of Standing - The...

Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones

The mission of the CIA has always been intelligence. Seventy-five years ago, in the year of its creation, the National Security Act gave the agency, uniquely in world history up to that point, a democratic mandate to pursue that mission of intelligence. It gave the CIA a special standing in the conduct of United States foreign relations. That standing diminished when successive American presidents ordered the CIA to exceed its original mission. When they tasked the agency secretly to overthrow democratic governments, the United States lost its international standing, and its command of a majority in the United Nations General Assembly. Such dubious operations, even the government's embrace of assassination and torture, did not diminish the standing of the CIA in United States public opinion. However, domestic interventions did. CIA spying on domestic protesters led to tighter congressional oversight from the 1970s on. 
 
 
 
A Question of Standing offers a balanced narrative and perspective on recognizable episodes in the CIA's history. Famous incidents include the Bay of Pigs invasion, the War on Terror, 9/11, the weapons of mass destruction deception, the Iran estimate of 2007, the assassination of Osama bin Laden, and Fake News. The book also defends the CIA's exposure of foreign meddling in United States elections.
