    Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
     
     
     
    David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
     
     
     
    Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.

    As AI takes hold across the planet and wealthy nations seek to position themselves as global leaders of this new technology, the gap is widening between those who benefit from it and those who are subjugated by it. As Rachel Adams shows in this hard-hitting book, growing inequality is the single biggest threat to the transformative potential of AI. Not only is AI built on an unequal global system of power, it stands poised to entrench existing inequities, further consolidating a new age of empire. 
     
     
     
    AI's impact on inequality will not be experienced in poorer countries only: it will be felt everywhere. The effects will be seen in intensified international migration as opportunities become increasingly concentrated in wealthier nations; in heightened political instability and populist politics; and in climate-related disasters caused by an industry blind to its environmental impact across supply chains. 
     
     
     
    We need to act now to address these issues. Only if the current inequitable trajectory of AI is halted, the incentives changed, and the production and use of AI decentralized from wealthier nations will AI be able to deliver on its promise to build a better world for all.

    Digital transformation is reshaping industries and altering how businesses operate, engage with customers, and deliver value. In its most fundamental form, digital transformation involves integrating digital technologies into all areas of a business, leading to fundamental changes in how organizations operate and deliver value to customers. It's not just about adopting new technologies; it’s about rethinking business processes, culture, and customer interactions. This transformation is driven by various factors, including rapid advancements in technology, the increasing reliance on data, and changing consumer expectations. 
    The evolution of technology has been a critical enabler of digital transformation. Over the past few decades, businesses have moved from traditional, manual processes to adopting digital solutions such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. This shift has allowed companies to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and provide more personalized customer experiences. The rise of smartphones, social media, and the internet of things (IoT) has further accelerated the pace of change, creating new opportunities and challenges for businesses across all sectors. 
    One of the key drivers of digital transformation is the need for organizations to remain competitive in an increasingly digital world. Companies that fail to adapt to these changes risk falling behind as competitors leverage new technologies to enhance their offerings and customer interactions. Digital transformation enables businesses to automate processes, reduce operational costs, and improve decision-making by harnessing the power of data. Furthermore, it fosters greater innovation by allowing companies to experiment with new business models and services that were previously not possible.
