Summary

Big Tech Research examines the increasing concentration of Artificial Intelligence research within major technology companies and its broader impact on the AI ecosystem. The book explores whether AI innovation will be driven by a diverse range of voices or primarily by a select few corporations. Readers gain insights into the evolution of AI, from academic roots to its current commercial imperative, without needing deep technical knowledge. The book argues that, while Big Tech's investment has accelerated AI progress, this concentration poses risks to innovation diversity and ethical considerations. The analysis is supported by data from academic publications, patent filings, and conference proceedings, using bibliometric and network analysis to map relationships between researchers and institutions. For example, the book highlights how talent acquisition strategies and data access policies within Big Tech contribute to this concentration.

 
Structured in four parts, the book begins by defining key concepts and establishing a framework. It then profiles major Big Tech research divisions, analyzes the implications of research concentration, and proposes alternative models for fostering greater openness and societal benefit. This approach offers a novel perspective by combining data analysis with commentary on the ethical dimensions of AI research, making it valuable for policymakers, business leaders, and anyone interested in understanding the forces shaping the future of AI.

    Winner of the 2024 Richard Jefferies Award for nature writingShortlisted for the 2024 Wainwright Prize for Writing on ConservationA Times Science Book of the Year 
    ‘Sophie writes fantastically, chronicling the most important issues facing nature conservationists today.’ Chris Packham 
    For thousands of years, humans have been the architects of the natural world. Our activities have permanently altered the environment – for good and for bad. 
    In Nature’s Ghosts, award-winning journalist Sophie Yeo examines how the planet would have looked before humans scrubbed away its diversity: from landscapes carved out by megafauna to the primeval forests that emerged following the last Ice Age, and from the eagle-haunted skies of the Dark Ages to the flower-decked farms of more recent centuries. 
    Uncovering the stories of the people who have helped to shape the landscape, she seeks out their footprints even where it seems there are none to be found. And she explores the timeworn knowledge that can help to fix our broken relationship with the earth. 
    Along the way, Sophie encounters the environmental detectives – archaeological, cultural and ecological – reconstructing, in stunning detail, the landscapes we have lost. 
    Today, the natural world is more vulnerable than ever; the footprints of humanity heavier than they have ever been. But, as this urgent book argues, from the ghosts of the past, we may learn how to build a more wild and ancient future. 
    Sophie Yeo's Nature’s Ghosts is a non-fiction masterpiece that takes us on a journey through the science of ecology, exploring the habitats and ecosystems that have been altered by human activity. The book emphasises the need for protection of these resources, offering a glimpse into the past to help us understand how we can shape a better future. 
    For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Democracy of Species), Isabella Tree (Wilding), Jennifer Ackerman (What an Owl Knows), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).

    Joseph Lister was born near London in 1827. He studied medicine at the University of London and pursued a career as a surgeon in Scotland. He became professor of Surgery in Glasgow and later (1877) at Kings College Hospital, in London.    Lister’s contribution to the advancement of surgery cannot be overestimated. Before his work on antisepsis, wounds were often left open to heal, leading to long recoveries, unsightly scarring, and not infrequently amputation or death due to infection. Lister’s work enabled more wounds to be closed primarily with sutures, drastically reducing healing time, scarring, amputations, and deaths due to infection.    Lister retired in 1896 but was called back to assist in the operation on King Edward VII for appendicitis just days before the King’s coronation. The King later credited Lister for his survival and quick recovery. Lister died in 1912.    (Summary by Martin Clifton)

    Koalas regularly appeared in Australian biologist Danielle Clode's backyard, but it was only when a bushfire threatened that she truly paid them attention. 
     
     
     
    In vivid, descriptive prose, Clode embarks on a delightful and surprising journey through evolutionary biology, natural history, and ecology to understand where these enigmatic animals came from and what their future may hold. She begins her search with the fossils of ancient giant koalas, delving into why the modern koala has become the lone survivor of a once-diverse family of uniquely Australian marsupials. 
     
     
     
    Koala investigates the remarkable physiology of these charismatic creatures. Clode explores the complex relationship and unexpected connections between this endearing species and humans. She explains how koalas are simultaneously threatened with extinction in some areas due to disease, climate change, and increasing wildfires, while overpopulating forests in other parts of the country. 
     
     
     
    Deeply researched and filled with wonder, Koala is both a tender and inquisitive paean to a species unlike any other and a call to ensure its survival.
