  The Means of Prediction - How AI...

  AI is inescapable, from its mundane uses online to its increasingly consequential decision-making in courtrooms, job interviews, and wars. 
   
  As Maximilian Kasy shows, artificial intelligence, far from being an unstoppable force, is irrevocably shaped by human decisions—choices made to date by the ownership class that steers its development and deployment. Kasy shows that the technology of AI is ultimately not that complex. It is insidious, however, in its capacity to steer results to its owners’ wants and ends. Kasy clearly and accessibly explains the fundamental principles on which AI works, and, in doing so, reveals that the real conflict isn’t between humans and machines, but between those who control the machines and the rest of us. 
   
  The Means of Prediction offers a powerful vision of the future of AI: a future not shaped by technology, but by the technology’s owners. Amid a deluge of debates about technical details, new possibilities, and social problems, Kasy cuts to the core issue: Who controls AI’s objectives, and how is this control maintained? The answer lies in what he calls “the means of prediction,” or the essential resources required for building AI systems: data, computing power, expertise, and energy. As Kasy shows, in a world already defined by inequality, one of humanity’s most consequential technologies has been and will be steered by those already in power. 
   
  Against those stakes, Kasy offers a framework both for understanding AI’s capabilities and for designing its public control. He makes a compelling case for democratic control over AI objectives as the answer to  
  mounting concerns about AI’s risks and harms. The Means of Prediction is a revelation, both an expert undressing of a technology that has masqueraded as more complicated and a compelling call for public oversight of this transformative technology.

  The Allure of the Multiverse -...

  The long history of one of physics' most enticing ideas: that the universe we know isn't the only one 
   
   
   
  Our books, our movies—our imaginations—are obsessed with extra dimensions, alternate timelines, and the sense that all we see might not be all there is. In short, we can't stop thinking about the multiverse. As it turns out, physicists are similarly captivated.   
   
   
    
  In The Allure of the Multiverse, physicist Paul Halpern tells the epic story of how science became besotted with the multiverse, and the controversies that ensued. The questions that brought scientists to this point are big and deep: Is reality such that anything can happen, must happen? How does quantum mechanics "choose" the outcomes of its apparently random processes? And why is the universe habitable? Each question quickly leads to the multiverse. Drawing on centuries of disputation and deep vision, from luminaries like Nietzsche, Einstein, and the creators of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Halpern reveals the multiplicity of multiverses that scientists have imagined to make sense of our reality. Whether we live in one of many different possible universes, or simply the only one there is, might never be certain. But Halpern shows one thing for sure: how stimulating it can be to try to find out.

  Climate Change in the Classroom: Preparing the Next Generation for a Warming World 
    
  Climate change is not a future problem—it is the defining reality students are already living through. Yet many classrooms still prepare them for a world that no longer exists. 
  In Climate Change in the Classroom, Robert W. Collin draws on decades of work in environmental law, urban planning, and environmental justice to show how today’s climate risks are rooted in history—from land use and industrial development to modern public policy. 
  This audiobook reframes climate education as essential, not optional. Climate change is not just science—it shapes history, civics, economics, and public health. Students already face extreme heat, flooding, wildfire smoke, and economic instability. The question is not whether they will experience climate disruption, but whether they will be prepared to respond. 
  At its core is a shift from resilience to flourishing—from surviving climate impacts to building systems where all communities can thrive. As noted in a Kirkus Reviews assessment of the author’s related work, the climate divide is not inevitable, but “the result of policies… and can be changed by people.” Education is central to that change. 
  Designed for educators, policymakers, and engaged listeners, this audiobook offers a practical framework for integrating climate literacy across disciplines—preparing students not just to understand climate change, but to act within it.
