    After many years during which it languished in relative obscurity, in remote classrooms of computer science departments and in small prototype projects for tech companies, artificial intelligence (AI) is now a searingly hot topic across the media. Yet much of the public discussion is so feverish that an understanding of the basic scientific and engineering elements of the field is easily lost, often resulting in exaggerated claims, as well as dangerously neglected threats. 
     
    This concise and sober book presents a brief history of AI, explaining in clear language the central engineering innovations that have produced the current revolution. It distinguishes between imagined dangers and the very real problems that AI is creating. Spread across seven short and accessible chapters, this book explains the developments behind deep learning and the applications of deep neural networks (DNNs). It addresses both the imagined and actual risks posed by the AI revolution, before outlining the elements of a rational public policy on AI, covering topics like tech monopolies, disinformation, bias, hate speech, intellectual property rights, and inequality. 
     
    Understanding the Artificial Intelligence Revolution: Between Catastrophe and Utopia is the ideal book for anyone seeking a clear and informed introduction to AI.

    The year is 1806 – a baby boy has just been born in a small English coastal town. This child was born into a world without the lightbulb, without cars; a world in which only two years previously mankind had discovered that steam could be used to power a locomotive engine. This was a time of rapid change – the industrial revolution was beginning and one of the world's greatest and most inventive minds was about to make history. 
     
    He would become one of the leading figures of this new technological age, helping to bring the world out of the darkness of the previous centuries, and into a new era of progress. 
     
    He was a visionary – an engineer and inventor of unparalleled ingenuity and ambition. With his railway projects he would conquer rivers, mountains, and vast stretches of land. His oceanic projects would produce the largest and most powerful ships the world had ever seen – helping thousands of people to bridge the continents and bringing mankind closer than ever before. His architectural projects would serve as testament to the ingenuity of mankind and would stamp his legacy upon the landscape. But his legacy endures in more than his constructions and inventions – his genius would come to inspire whole generations of new engineers, architects, and scientists – his legacy lives on all around us. 
     
    So, join us now, as we trace his story from its very beginnings – join us on an exploration of the life and times of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

    Water Harvesting 101 introduces you to: 
    Passive Water Harvesting: This is the act of sculpting your land with basins, berms, and drainage swales. The goal? To channel rainwater toward plants and away from structures – like your house. Passive water-harvesting earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation connected to municipal water systems. In arid regions, that spells substantial cost savings. 
    Active Water Harvesting: Want fresh garden produce when it’s 105 degrees out? And it hasn’t rained in six weeks? At my place, the 1,500-gallon rainwater harvesting cistern makes year ‘round gardening possible. And, on wash day, I don’t let the wastewater go down the drain. Instead, I use a greywater harvesting system that effortlessly diverts that wastewater from the laundry to my four fruit trees.
