  Artificial Intelligence -...

  The principle of artificial intelligence has been around since the 1970s. Originally, the primary objective was for computers to make choices with no input from people. However, it never ever caught on, partially because system administrators could not find out how to utilize all the information. Even if some could understand the value in the data, it was really difficult to utilize, even for engineers. 
    
  On top of that, the challenge of extracting data from the simple databases of 3 decades ago was huge. Early AI applications would spit out reams of data, most of which wasn't sharable or adaptive to different business needs.

  Dr Liz O’Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practise at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz’s incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she moulded and reshaped women’s breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer. 
   
  But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man’s world. In addition to this high-powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.

  Time is a fascinating subject and one which affects our lives in many ways.  
  This book covers a lot of aspects of the subject. 
  First, how did measurements of time like seconds, minutes, hours, and years develop? 
  Next, what is the history of timekeeping mechanisms from ancient water clocks, to mechanical mechanisms, atomic clocks, and much more. 
  Lastly, what are some of the stranger aspects or anomalies of time such as premonitions, how time and space work, and possible time travel stories. 
  And philosophical questions like: Does the future already exist? 
  I wanted this book to be a comprehensive volume on time and so included lots of different stories and understandings about time which indicate we may not fully understand it yet.

  Lakes might be the most misunderstood bodies of water on earth. And while they may seem commonplace, without lakes our world would never be the same. In this revealing look at these lifegiving treasures, John Richard Saylor shows us just how deep our connection to still waters run. 
   
    
    
  Lakes is an illuminating tour through the most fascinating lakes around the world. Whether it's Lake Vostok, located more than two miles beneath the surface of Antarctica, whose water was last exposed to the atmosphere perhaps a million years ago; Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, the world's deepest and oldest lake formed by a rift in the earth's crust; or Lake Nyos, the so-called Killer Lake that exploded in 1986, resulting in hundreds of deaths, Saylor reveals to us the wonder that exists in lakes found throughout the world. Along the way we learn all the many forms that lakes take—how they come to be and how they feed and support ecosystems—and what happens when lakes vanish.

  Invisible Illness - A History...

  A moving cultural history of disability—and a powerful call to action to change how our medical system and society supports those with complex chronic conditions 
    
  From lupus to Lyme, invisible illness is often dismissed by everyone but the sufferers. Why does the medical establishment continually insist that, when symptoms are hard to explain, they are probably just in your head? 
    
  Inspired by her work with long COVID patients, medical anthropologist Emily Mendenhall traces the story of complex chronic conditions to show why both research and practice fail so many. Mendenhall points out disconnects between the reality of chronic disease—which typically involves multiple intersecting problems resulting in unique, individualized illness—and the assumptions of medical providers, who behave as though chronic diseases have uniform effects for everyone. And while invisible illnesses have historically been associated with white middle-class women, being believed that you are sick is even more difficult for patients whose social identities and lived experiences may not align with dominant medical thought. Weaving together cultural history with intimate interviews, Invisible Illness upholds the experiences of those living with complex illness to expose the failures of the American healthcare system—and how we can do better. 
    
  "This book challenges us to address discrimination in clinical care for people with complex chronic conditions like long Covid, questioning why some are believed while others aren't—a persistent disparity in US healthcare."—Oni Blackstock, primary care and HIV physician and founder of Health Justice
