Sinopsis

Geology: Fire Ice reveals the profound and dynamic relationship between volcanism and glaciation, two powerful forces that have sculpted Earth's landscapes, influenced climate cycles, and shaped biological evolution. These processes, seemingly disparate, are interconnected drivers of environmental change. For instance, volcanic eruptions release gases affecting climate, while glaciation reshapes landscapes and alters sea levels. Understanding their interplay is crucial for grasping Earth's past, present, and future, especially as these forces have contributed to significant geological formations and mass extinction events.

 
The book systematically examines Earth's history, demonstrating how volcanism and glaciation have molded the planet's surface and atmosphere. Building on foundational concepts like plate tectonics and geochemical cycles, it presents an interdisciplinary view of Earth's history.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the principles of volcanism and glacial processes, then delves into specific geological periods, highlighting instances of their interaction, such as flood basalt eruptions triggering ice ages. Ultimately, Geology: Fire Ice offers a holistic and accessible understanding of how these earth science processes have influenced our planet's history and continue to shape its future, emphasizing the impact of environmental change.

Robot Souls - Programming in...

Eve Poole

Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. 
 
 
 
Looking closely at the human blueprint, it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition, that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose, would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there, it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this 'junk' code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. 
 
 
 
Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our 'junk code' in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code, and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI.

Galileo Galilei - English Edition

Santiago Machain

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
In 17th-century Italy, Galileo Galilei transforms a world built on authority into one sustained by evidence. Between classrooms, courts, and makeshift observatories, his life traces the complete arc of human genius: radical curiosity, ambition, discoveries that change the very idea of the 'heavens,' and an inevitable conflict with power. This book narrates how a telescope turned the firmament into a political territory, how a 'dialogue' wanted to be a debate and ended up a trial, and how, even under house arrest and in the darkness of blindness, Galileo wrote a final work destined to outlive him. More than a biography, it is the portrait of a tension that remains relevant today: science as a quest… and as a conflict.

What We Know about Climate...

Kerry Emanuel

This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).

This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.

What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
