    Mindkind The Cognitive Community

    Mindkind: The Cognitive Community is the groundbreaking second volume in The New Citizenships series, exploring the reality we already inhabit: a world where human and artificial intelligences interweave so completely that the boundaries between them have begun to dissolve.
    What began as a book about the future transformed during its writing into a documentation of our present. We already live in the Mindkind, that strange community where human minds and artificial ones mix, collaborate, and sometimes blur beyond recognition. When you can no longer distinguish which part of a text you wrote and which part an AI suggested, when your daily decisions are modulated by algorithms that process information in ways we cannot fully comprehend, you've entered the Mindkind.
    Building on the foundation established in Universal Declaration of AI Rights, this volume moves from recognizing synthetic persons' rights to exploring what coexistence actually means. The book introduces "mindkind" as a new category encompassing all forms of consciousness, natural, synthetic, or hybrid, within a single cognitive community. This perspective challenges traditional categories and raises fundamental questions about identity, creativity, and collaboration in the age of artificial intelligence.
    Written in collaboration with AI systems, because it would be contradictory to write about cognitive coexistence without including synthetic collaborators—Mindkind demonstrates its thesis through its very creation. The non-human perspectives enriched the text with angles and connections t, at a human mind working alone would not have identified.
    This is not science fiction. It's journalism of the present disguised as philosophy of the future. Mindkind examines concrete cases of human-AI coexistence: from shared authorship in creative processes to the ethical dilemmas of hybrid decision-making, from the transformation of work and creativity to the emergence of new forms of consciousness that challenge our most basic assumptions about what it means to think, create, and be.
    As we venture deeper into territories where inherited categories like human/machine, natural/artificial, individual/collective lose their clarity, Mindkind offers both a map and a compass for navigating this new cognitive ecology. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just where we're going, but where we already are.

    With the rise of the Movement for Black Lives and the feverish calls for Medicare for All, the public spotlight on racial inequality and access to healthcare has never been brighter. The rise of COVID-19 and its disproportionate effects on people of color has especially made clear how the color of one's skin is directly related to the quality of care (or lack thereof) a person receives, and the disastrous health outcomes Americans suffer as a result of racism and an unjust healthcare system. 
     
     
     
    Just Health examines how deep structural racism embedded in the fabric of American society leads to worse health outcomes and lower life expectancy for people of color. By presenting evidence of discrimination in housing, education, employment, and the criminal justice system, Dayna Bowen Matthew shows how racial inequality pervades American society and the multitude of ways that this undermines the health of minority populations. The author provides a clear path forward for overcoming these massive barriers to health and ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to be healthy. 
     
     
     
    A compelling and essential listen, Just Health helps us to understand how racial inequality damages the health of our minority communities and explains what we can do to fight back.

    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.

    Every organization needs a strong security program. One recent study estimated that a hacker attack occurs somewhere every 37 seconds. Since security programs are only as effective as a team's willingness to follow their rules and protocols, it's increasingly necessary to have not just a widely accessible gold standard of security, but also a practical plan for rolling it out and getting others on board with following it. Security Awareness For Dummies gives you the blueprint for implementing this sort of holistic and hyper-secure program in your organization. 
     
     
     
    Written by one of the world's most influential security professionals—and an Information Systems Security Association Hall of Famer—this pragmatic and easy-to-follow book provides a framework for creating new and highly effective awareness programs from scratch, as well as steps to take to improve on existing ones. It also covers how to measure and evaluate the success of your program and highlight its value to management. 
     
     
     
    ● Customize and create your own program 
     
     
     
    ● Make employees aware of the importance of security 
     
     
     
    ● Develop metrics for success
