Posting Peace - Why Social Media...

Douglas S. Bursch

Why is everyone so angry online? The internet seems to have brought the world together only so we can tear each other apart. Social media platforms have become toxic and polarizing environments. Many of us are overwhelmed and disillusioned by endless online conflict and negativity. How did we get here, and what can we do about it?
The internet changes not only how we communicate but also what we communicate. Pastor and former radio host Douglas Bursch provides a spiritual examination of why social media divides people and how Christians can address polarization through a ministry of peacemaking. Digital media dehumanizes and disembodies us, dulling our ability to know when to speak and when to remain silent. But healthy online communication is possible through a constructive posture of reconciliation. Bursch offers practical examples of how to proactively manage social media and handle online conflict in redemptive ways.
Together we can change the discourse of online Christian communication. Discover how we can use social media in a positive, Christ-like manner.

Rob Collister

Days to Remember is a collection of tales from well-known mountain guide Rob Collister – tales of long days on the hill, travelling fast and light, often alone, and always steering well clear of the honeypots. From day trips around his local hills in Wales, to worldwide expeditions including the Silvretta Alps, Gletscherhorn, the Cordillera Blanca and Annapurna, Rob Collister enjoys covering ground under his own steam, whether it be walking, running, climbing, cycling or skiing.
With a foreword from renowned British mountaineer and writer Stephen Venables, this collection of essays communicates Collister's connection with the history of the landscapes he explores, while demonstrating knowledge and appreciation of the flora and fauna that thrive there today.
In Days to Remember we are reminded of the fragility of our natural environment and the importance of investing in its preservation, at the same time as being captivated by the beautiful images Collister evokes with his mountain tales. This book will leave you with expanded understanding of contemporary environmental issues and a renewed hunger for days in the hills.

Artificial Intelligence - How...

John Adamssen

This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles:
Book 1: In this guide, you will learn about all the basics of artificial intelligence. You’ll learn what it is, how it works, and where it came from (or, in other words, how it all started).
Aside from that, we’ll dive into some data analytics and examples of artificial intelligence. We’ll cover several steps in the analytical process, and see what it takes for artificial intelligence to be effective.
Last but not least, safety and privacy issues will be brought to light, since today’s age is full of hacking, spying, and theft. Therefore, it is mandatory that these devices and systems are kept safe and secure.
Book 2: Can machines write books?
Can artificial intelligence be used for business?
Will touch screens be around, or will they be replaced by voice recognition?
What are deepfakes?
How do self-driving cars work, and are they going to be a reality soon?
These questions all come to light in this brief but informational book about artificial intelligence. Society is changing quickly because of automated systems in place that either benefit or undermine people’s living style, jobs, and brains. Today, we explore what that future may hold. We will also look into options for civilians in today’s modern world to adapt more quickly.
Don’t underestimate the rise of artificial intelligence. Understand the future. Begin reading or listening now!
