  Cat Tales - A History

  Feared, revered, respected, and beloved, cats have left an indelible paw print on the histories and civilizations of humankind. Over the last two million years, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways, but the predecessors of today's furry friends were predators, not pets. 
   
  Leading anthropologist Jerry Moore charts the cat's path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate. Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean, sailing on to South America, exploring pet cemeteries, cat mummies, and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries. 
   
  This book surveys our relationships with cats from the Paleolithic period to the present day, unlocking the mysteries of these remarkable creatures. While cats are now beloved members of families around the world, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic, Siegfried Fischbacher, and Roy Horn. From incredible archaeological finds to cave paintings, and from classical statues to contemporary social media, Cat Tales surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats, wild and domestic, to ask a simple question: who domesticated who?

  Data Equals - Democratic...

  An expansive vision for data equality that goes beyond algorithmic fairness. 
   
  When we gave algorithms power over our world, we hoped that the apparent neutrality of machine thinking would create a more egalitarian age. Yet we are more divided than ever, staring down threats to democracy itself. In Data Equals, Colin Koopman argues that data technologies fail us so often because we built them around a deficient notion of equality. 
   
  It is not enough, Koopman explains, that algorithms engage everyone’s data with the same measuring stick. The data themselves are all too often structured in ways that obscure and exacerbate stratifying distinctions. Koopman contends that we must also work to ensure that those people subject to computational assessment enter data systems on equal terms. Part philosophical argument, part practical guide (replete with case studies from education technology), Data Equals offers novel methods for realizing democratic equality in a digital age.

  Wonderdog - The Science of Dogs...

  Almost everywhere there are humans, there are dogs. But what do dogs know and understand of the world? Do their emotions feel like our own? Do they love like we do? What do they think of us? 
   
   
   
  Since our alliance first began, our relationship with dogs has evolved considerably. In order to gauge where our relationship with dogs goes from here, author and zoologist Jules Howard takes a look at the historical paths we have trod together, and at the many scientists before him who turned their analytic eye on their own four-legged companions. 
   
   
   
  Charles Darwin and his contemporaries toyed with dog sign language and made special puzzle boxes and elaborate sniff tests using old socks. Later, the same questions drove Pavlov and Pasteur to unspeakable cruelty in their search for knowledge. Since then, leagues of psychologists and animal behaviorists have built upon the study of dogs and their much-improved methods have fetched increasingly important results. 
   
   
   
  With the help of vets, ethologists, neurologists, historians and his own dogs, Wonderdog reveals the study of dogs to be key in the advancement of compassion in scientific research, and crucial to making life on Earth better for all species.

  Perpendicular Times - A New Reality

  Michael Mathiesen

  In previous books, I have put forth a new theory of time - in that time flows about the universe in waves. This has not been proven yet, but I'm confident it will be some day since everything else in the universe flows or comes out of wave energy - the odds are very good that time does as well. 
  Since announcing this theory a couple years ago in a book called 'Time Waves', I also saw that time not only flows about the universe in waves, but that these waves flow at right angles or in a perpendiular orientation to all other waves because they, time waves, carry the elements of time that all other waves require to be a wave. The two fields interact in perpendicular fashion to create what Einstein calls Space/Time, but now it comes along with a completely new and more complete definition. 
  But, it's also part of my theory that artificial intelligence is here at this time to play an important role so I asked Orac, my long-time AI assistant to confirm that my theory is accurate and he does in great detail. It's an historic moment for all and holds significant impacts on all our lives.

His tell-all book, Let’s Clear Things Up, explains the differences between optional and necessary surgery, the benefits of minimally invasive procedures, and natural ways to correct sinus problems all on our own. Get informed so that when you walk into a clinic, the air between you and your doctor is clear enough to get you breathing right the first time.
