Floating Free - A World Without Gravity

Lloyd Leon

Sinossi

The concept of gravity, as defined by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century, explains the force that attracts two bodies towards each other. This fundamental force is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun, holding us firmly on the ground, and governing the motion of objects in our everyday lives. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every mass attracts every other mass, with a strength that increases with mass and decreases with the square of the distance between them. Without this force, our understanding of the universe and the very structure of matter would be profoundly altered.

Understanding the Artificial...

Shalom Lappin

After many years during which it languished in relative obscurity, in remote classrooms of computer science departments and in small prototype projects for tech companies, artificial intelligence (AI) is now a searingly hot topic across the media. Yet much of the public discussion is so feverish that an understanding of the basic scientific and engineering elements of the field is easily lost, often resulting in exaggerated claims, as well as dangerously neglected threats. 
 
This concise and sober book presents a brief history of AI, explaining in clear language the central engineering innovations that have produced the current revolution. It distinguishes between imagined dangers and the very real problems that AI is creating. Spread across seven short and accessible chapters, this book explains the developments behind deep learning and the applications of deep neural networks (DNNs). It addresses both the imagined and actual risks posed by the AI revolution, before outlining the elements of a rational public policy on AI, covering topics like tech monopolies, disinformation, bias, hate speech, intellectual property rights, and inequality. 
 
Understanding the Artificial Intelligence Revolution: Between Catastrophe and Utopia is the ideal book for anyone seeking a clear and informed introduction to AI.

Beyond Good and Evil

Friedrich Nietzsche

Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world.
