  Mythopedia - A Brief Compendium...

  From acclaimed folklorist and historian Adrienne Mayor, an enchanting collection of the ancient myths that emerged out of the wonders—and disasters—of the natural world 
   
  Mythopedia is a fun, fact-filled A-Z treasury of myths inspired by natural events. Bringing together fifty legends from antiquity to the present, this delightfully entertaining book takes you around the world to explore sunken kingdoms and lost cities, accursed mountains and treacherous terrains, and lethal lakes and singing sand dunes, explaining the historical background and latest science underlying each tale. 
   
  As soon as humans invented language, they told stories to explain mysterious things they observed around them—on land, in the seas, and in the skies. Even though these tales are expressed in poetic or supernatural language, they contain surprisingly accurate insights and even eyewitness descriptions of catastrophic events millennia ago. Drawing on her unique insights as a pioneer in the exciting new field of geomythology, Adrienne Mayor describes how cultural memories of tsunamis, volcanic disasters, and other massive geological events can reach back thousands of years as the stories were preserved, elaborated, told, and retold across generations. She shows how geomythology is expanding our understanding of our planet’s history over eons, revealing the human desire to explain nature and weave imaginative stories intertwined with keen observation, rational speculation, and memory. 
   
  Mythopedia is a compendium of many marvels, from the Hindu monkey god Hanuman and his army of bridge-building primates to the terrifying sand demon Shensha shen of China, the gnawing glaciers of Austria, and the vengeful fish-headed snake god Nyami Nyami of Africa’s Zambezi River.

  This inspiring meditation on the intersection of science, nature, and spirit shows readers how to deepen their connection to the natural world.In Rooted, cutting-edge science supports a truth that poets, artists, mystics, and earth-based cultures across the world have proclaimed over millennia: life on this planet is radically interconnected. Our bodies, thoughts, minds, and spirits are affected by the whole of nature, and they affect this whole in return. In this time of crisis, how can we best live upon our imperiled, beloved earth?Award-winning writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s highly personal new book is a brilliant invitation to live with the earth in both simple and profound ways—from walking barefoot in the woods and reimagining our relationship with animals and trees, to examining the very language we use to describe and think about nature. She invokes rootedness as a way of being in concert with the wilderness—and wildness—that sustains humans and all of life.In the tradition of Rachel Carson, Elizabeth Kolbert, and Mary Oliver, Haupt writes with urgency and grace, reminding us that at the crossroads of science, nature, and spirit we find true hope. Each chapter provides tools for bringing our unique gifts to the fore and transforming our sense of belonging within the magic and wonder of the natural world.

  "Decentralized Computing: The Evolution of Power and Possibility" explores the transformative impact of blockchain and decentralized technologies on our world today and in the future. From revolutionizing finance and governance to empowering individuals and communities, decentralized computing represents a paradigm shift in how we interact, transact, and govern. 
  In this insightful exploration, we delve into the foundational principles of decentralization, tracing its evolution from the creation of Bitcoin to the emergence of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) on platforms like Ethereum. We uncover how these technologies have democratized access to financial services through decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling peer-to-peer transactions, lending, and investing without intermediaries. 
  Moreover, the book examines how decentralized networks are reshaping governance models, with innovations like Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) enabling transparent decision-making and community-driven initiatives. We explore the potential of blockchain to enhance data privacy and digital autonomy through self-sovereign identity solutions and decentralized storage systems, empowering individuals to control their personal information securely. 
  "Decentralized Computing" also addresses the challenges and opportunities inherent in this technological revolution. It navigates regulatory landscapes, security considerations, and scalability issues while advocating for ethical and responsible innovation. The book underscores the potential of decentralized computing to drive sustainable development, promote environmental stewardship, and foster inclusive economic growth. 
  Join us on a journey into the decentralized future, where power shifts from centralized authorities to empowered communities, and possibilities for innovation and equitable progress abound.

  What is Artificial Intelligence? How will AI impact society? Is AI more powerful than human intelligence? 
   
  The Psychology of AI explores all aspects of the psychology—AI relationship, asking how closely AI can resemble humans, and whether this means they could have some form of self-awareness. It considers how AI systems have been modelled on human intelligence and the similarities between brains and computers, along with the current limitations of AI and how these could be overcome in the future. It also looks at how people interact with AI in their everyday lives, exploring some of the ethical and societal risks, such as bias in AI algorithms, and the consequences for our long-term future if AIs do surpass humans in important ways. 
   
  As AI continues to break new milestones, The Psychology of AI answers key questions about what it really means to be human, and how AI will impact our lives in every way, now and into the future.
