  A Case for AI Ethics to Achieve...

  What if the real power of AI isn't in its speed, data, or dominance but in its ability to serve humanity with conscience, dignity, and sustainability?
  
  In A Case for AI Ethics to Achieve Sustainability, Thami Msubo, a South African thought leader and workplace diplomat bridging shopfloor realities and boardroom decisions, delivers a bold and timely blueprint for aligning artificial intelligence with ethical leadership, measurable outcomes, and the UN SDGs. Inspired by Al pioneer Geoffrey Hinton and heeding Stephen Hawking's stark warning that Al could pose an existential threat to humanity, Msubo introduces four transformative dimensions.
  
  First, the Ethical AI Manifesto, a values-driven vision rooted in Ubuntu, 'I am because we are', which champions human dignity, privacy, shared prosperity, accountability, and others.
  
  Second, the Ubuntu Ethical AI Framework, a practical tool with measurable KPIs that track AI's impact on workplace wellbeing, social inclusion, and long-term sustainability.
  
  Third, the Circle of Evolutionary Learning, a forward-looking model that ensures ethical knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.
  
  Fourth, the Sovereign AI Wealth Fund (SAIWF), an economic justice which ensures that automation royalties are paid back to society and displaced workers are reskilled with dignity.
  
  Written in clear, accessible language, this book makes complex ideas easy to understand and apply. It is for everyone: students, educators, CEOs, policymakers, and concerned citizens. But it makes a powerful appeal to corporations, governments, and multilateral organisations to lead the AI revolution with ethics at its core.
  
  A powerful voice from the Global South, long excluded from Western-centric AI discourse, Msubo positions South Africa as a global torchbearer and beacon of ethical, human-centred innovation. This book is a moral compass for our digital age.

  Niccolo Machiavelli - A Life...

  Machiavelli's very name is synonymous with strategy and cunning. This is no hyperbole—the term "Machiavellian" has long been part of our vocabulary. And it all traces back to one man: Niccolò Machiavelli. Yet for all the associations his name conjures—cunning strategy, swift reversals of fate, ruthless political calculation—most of us know surprisingly little about Machiavelli himself. Who was the man behind the legend? 
  This book explores his life as well as his career, from his years working for the Florentine government to his reinvention as a writer. His writing career produced everything from grand philosophical treatises on power to sharp, satirical plays that skewered his contemporaries. All of it demonstrated the crafty, calculating, and brilliant mind of Machiavelli at work. Shakespeare may have thought the world was a stage, but Machiavelli understood it as a chess match, where every move counted and only the strategic survived. This is Niccolò Machiavelli's life and legend in full.

  Scars on the Land - An...

  Scars on the Land is the first comprehensive history of American slavery to examine how the environment fundamentally formed enslaved people's lives and how slavery remade the Southern landscape. Over two centuries, from the establishment of slavery in the Chesapeake to the Civil War, one simple calculation had profound consequences: rather than measuring productivity based on outputs per acre, Southern planters sought to maximize how much labor they could extract from their enslaved workforce. They saw the landscape as disposable, relocating to more fertile prospects once they had leached the soils and cut down the forests. On the leading edge of the frontier, slavery laid waste to fragile ecosystems, draining swamps, clearing forests to plant crops and fuel steamships, and introducing devastating invasive species. On its trailing edge, slavery left eroded hillsides, rivers clogged with sterile soil, and the extinction of native species. While environmental destruction fueled slavery's expansion, no environment could long survive intensive slave labor. The scars manifested themselves in different ways, but the land too fell victim to the slave owner's lash.

  We broke our new series on learning Indonesian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Indonesian.  
  In Unit 1 you will hear Indonesian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Indonesian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Indonesian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Indonesian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Indonesian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
  Topics covered in this book: 
  1. Asking about family 
  2. Asking about relationship status
