  It is natural for us to fear artificial intelligence. But does Siri really want to kill us? Perhaps we are falling into the trap of projecting human traits onto the machines we might build. In Evolutionary Intelligence, Neuman offers a surprisingly positive vision in which computational intelligence compensates for the well-recognized limits of human judgment, improves decision making, and actually increases our agency. Neuman takes the listener on an exciting, fast-paced ride, all the while making a convincing case about a revolution in computationally augmented human intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Neuman argues that, just as the wheel made us mobile and machines made us stronger, the migration of artificial intelligence from room-sized computers to laptops to our watches, smart glasses, and even smart contact lenses will transform day-to-day human decision making. If intelligence is the capacity to match means with ends, then augmented intelligence can offer the ability to adapt to changing environments as we face the ultimate challenge of long-term survival. Tapping into a global interest in technology's potential impacts on society, economics, and culture, Evolutionary Intelligence demonstrates that our future depends on our ability to computationally compensate for the limitations of a human cognitive system that has only recently graduated from hunting and gathering.

  A sterling roster of natural and social scientists in conversation with top-flight journalist Stefan Klein—shedding new light on their work, their lives, and what they still hope to discover 
  When acclaimed science writer Stefan Klein asks Nobel Prize–winning chemist Roald Hoffmann what sets scientists apart, Hoffmann says, “First and foremost, curiosity.” In this collection of intimate conversations with nineteen of the world’s best-known scientists (including three Nobel Laureates), Klein lets us listen in as today’s leading minds reveal what they still hope to discover—and how their paradigm-changing work entwines with their lives outside the lab. 
  From the sports car that physicist Steven Weinberg says helped him on his quest for “the theory of everything” to the jazz musicians who gave psychologist Alison Gopnik new insight into raising children, these scientists explain how they find inspiration everywhere.  
  Hear from renowned scientists including: evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on selfishness,anthropologist Sarah Hrdy on motherhood,primatologist Jane Goodall on animal behavior,neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran on consciousness,geographer Jared Diamond on chance in history, andmany other luminaries.

  Beyond the Hurt - Understanding...

  Why does pain continue long after an injury has healed? Why can scans look “normal” when the pain feels anything but? 
  In Beyond the Hurt, Consultant in Pain Medicine Dr Murli Krishna offers a clear, compassionate explanation of why pain can become chronic — and what that really means. 
  This audiobook explores how the nervous system processes pain, how it can become overprotective, and why persistent pain does not necessarily mean ongoing damage. Using accessible language and grounded neuroscience, Dr Krishna explains central sensitisation, the role of sleep and stress, why pain can spread or fluctuate, and why treatments sometimes help — and sometimes don’t. 
  Importantly, this is not a book about pushing through pain or thinking positively. It is about understanding how the body’s alarm system works — and how it can learn to feel safe again. 
  Listeners will gain: 
  • A clear explanation of chronic pain mechanisms 
  • Reassurance when scans and tests are normal 
  • Insight into flare-ups and setbacks 
  • Practical guidance on calming the pain system 
  • A realistic, hopeful framework for recovery 
  Written for people living with ongoing pain — as well as clinicians, therapists, and caregivers — this audiobook replaces fear with understanding and confusion with clarity. 
  Persistent pain is not imagined. It has reasons. 
  And when pain becomes less mysterious, it often becomes less frightening. 
  Beyond the Hurt offers direction, reassurance, and a science-based path toward living well beyond pain.
