  Artificial intelligence has revolutionized industries by identifying patterns and making predictions from vast amounts of data. However, the true power of AI lies not just in recognizing correlations but in understanding causation—the fundamental "why" behind events and outcomes. 
  Causal Intelligence provides a comprehensive exploration of how causal inference principles can transform AI systems from mere pattern detectors into tools capable of reasoning, decision-making, and ethical intervention. Combining the rigor of causal theory with the practicalities of modern AI, this book bridges the gap between two evolving fields to unlock groundbreaking applications in healthcare, finance, public policy, and beyond. 
  Whether you’re a data scientist, AI practitioner, researcher, or curious technologist, this book will empower you to:Grasp the fundamental differences between correlation and causation.Understand key causal inference frameworks, including Pearl's Causal Hierarchy and Rubin's Causal Model.Discover techniques for identifying causal relationships in complex data.Learn how to integrate causal reasoning into machine learning and AI systems.Explore real-world applications and case studies where causality transforms outcomes.Address fairness and ethics in AI using a causal perspective. 
  Written in an accessible yet rigorous style, Causal Intelligence serves as a roadmap for the next generation of AI systems—ones that don’t just predict the future but understand it, shape it, and improve it. Dive into the emerging world of causal AI and discover how it’s poised to redefine data-driven decision-making for the better.

  Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we have. But we're not talking about a story as a nice-to-have or an occasional distraction from the real work you do. We’re talking about story as the backbone and the underlying structure, and story as a way of ordering your thoughts and connecting with those around you.
  If you want to make the most of every page on your website, every email to your clients and every conversation on site, this is the guidebook you need. It gives you a simple, flexible structure to tell the stories of your practice, your projects, your process, and your team. And, more than that, it reframes writing not as a chore but as an act of clarity and connection.
  The Storytelling Manual for Architects is a short, practical book with a very human mission – to help you find common ground, convey your worth, and show your clients the difference you can make. It’s a heartfelt manifesto for a better way to write and talk about what you do.
  Juliette Mitchell set up Architypal, a writing consultancy for architects, after many years as an editor at Penguin Books. The Storytelling Manual for Architects is both her step-by-step messaging strategy and her personal act of resistance in the face of AI and things to come.
  
  ‘It’s a great little book – both succinct and spirited!’ Ceri Davies, director at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris
  ‘This book is so good, I don’t want to recommend it to other architects. I want to keep it all to myself.’ Lee Holmes, associate director at Wainwrights
  ‘Joyous, loving, accessible, practical, and just what the doctor ordered.’ Barbara Iddon, co-author of Blueprints for the Soul: Why we need emotion in architecture
  ‘I devoured about 80% of it in the first sitting. Full of good and clear ideas.’ Paul Sheeran, principal at Architexture
  ‘Part guidebook, part pep talk, part love letter to clearer, kinder architectural communication. Practical, readable, and quietly radical.’ Simon Drayson, director at George & James Architects

  Your Data Their Wealth - The...

  James Felton Keith

  AI did not appear from nowhere. It was built from human language, human behavior, human culture, human correction, and human life made legible to machines. 
  In Your Data, Their Wealth, James Felton Keith argues that the modern economy has been fundamentally misdescribed. We still talk as though value comes mainly from labor, capital, and innovation in their familiar forms. But the age of AI has exposed something larger: ordinary people are generating economically useful informational value every day, and firms are capturing that value under ownership terms that leave the public with little claim on the upside. 
  This is not just a book about privacy or technology. It is a book about political economy. It asks what happens when human beings become part of the productive base of intelligent systems while remaining structurally excluded from ownership of the gains. It challenges the language of the “user,” traces how law and economics helped normalize this arrangement, and argues for a new framework of claim, bargaining, and stakeholdership in the AI economy. 
  Provocative, timely, and structurally ambitious, this book insists on a simple truth: if the machine is built from us, the future cannot belong only to those who own the machine.

  Losing Earth - A Recent History

  "This is an important, infuriating, enlightening, engaging, and engrossing audiobook...Anyone wishing to learn how the world has gotten to the point of almost inevitable climate disaster will be well served by listening to Godfrey's measured but emphatic reading." — AudioFile Magazine   By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change—including how to stop it. Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story, and ours.The New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon—the subject of news coverage, editorials, and conversations all over the world. In its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age, it made vivid the moral dimensions of our shared plight.Now expanded into book form, Losing Earth tells the human story of climate change in even richer, more intimate terms. It reveals, in previously unreported detail, the birth of climate denialism and the genesis of the fossil fuel industry’s coordinated effort to thwart climate policy through misinformation propaganda and political influence. The audiobook carries the story into the present day, wrestling with the long shadow of our past failures and asking crucial questions about how we make sense of our past, our future, and ourselves. Like John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth, Losing Earth is the rarest of achievements: a riveting work of dramatic history that articulates a moral framework for understanding how we got here, and how we must go forward.
