  The Coming Singularity

  Gary A. Freitas

  As we approach 2050, it is projected that human consciousness will encounter a superior intelligence for the very first time: artificial machine intelligence. It is important for us to understand the evolutionary impact of this event, but also that we are being altered from the inside out for the singularity to arise. 
  Are we ready? 
  Will we be adaptive? 
  How will we change? 
  The Coming Singularity explores the psychological impact of the changes coming our way and the many adaptations we will have to make. 
  We are transitioning to a world of one degree of separation, with only the illusion of privacy, autonomy and anonymity. All of us are undergoing a transition to an electronic identity, one that can reach back and change the real you. The question going forward will be, who is the real you? 
  A cluster of psychological symptoms are evolving from our technology interface––Identity Diffusion. Its key feature is the de-realization of life. 
  Direct brain-to-technology interfaces will soon render our brains an open-source forum. We need to discuss who is in there and why! 
  The impact of e-technology on human identity will be profound, but it is also a prerequisite for machine intelligence to arise. We need to discuss this. 
  We humans reside in complex, dynamical networks. The goal of artificial intelligence will be to evolve and stabilize these networks. And we may not be the priority.

  Dive into the mesmerizing world of quantum mechanics with "Quantum Mechanics". This accessible and comprehensive book takes you on a captivating journey through the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of particles at the tiniest scales. 
  In the opening chapters, discover the revolutionary origins of quantum mechanics, encountering concepts like wave-particle duality and the double-slit experiment that challenge our conventional understanding of reality. Explore the fascinating phenomenon of quantum superposition, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, setting the stage for the mind-bending nature of the quantum world. 
  Delve into the intricacies of quantum states, wavefunctions, and the uncertainty principle, gaining insight into the mathematical tools that physicists employ to describe the quantum realm. Unravel the mysteries of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that links particles across space in ways that defy classical intuition, and explore the implications of Bell's theorem and quantum teleportation. 
  Schrödinger's cat takes center stage as we examine the paradoxical nature of quantum measurement, discussing the collapse of the wavefunction and the concept of quantum decoherence. Throughout the book, various interpretations of quantum mechanics are explored, from the Many-Worlds Interpretation to the Copenhagen Interpretation and beyond. 
  "Quantum Mechanics" is more than a guide; it's an invitation to embrace the wonder and mystery of the quantum realm. Whether you're a curious beginner or someone seeking a deeper understanding, this book provides a solid foundation for navigating the intricacies of quantum mechanics. Prepare to be intrigued, challenged, and inspired as you embark on this adventure into the heart of the quantum universe.

  Finding Voice For Authentic...

  Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak “Mother Tongue” — speaking from the belly rather than the mind. 
  She laments that in Western culture “the language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.” 
  In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program you’ll be dazzled by the mystery of Terry’s dying mother’s request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding one’s authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

  The Great River - The Making and...

  A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
   
   
   
  Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.
