Sinossi

"Extinct Giants" explores the fascinating realm of colossal prehistoric life, examining the evolution, environmental context, and ultimate extinction of these titans. The book highlights the era when biological limits were stretched, diving into the reasons behind the emergence and disappearance of these enormous creatures. Understanding the fate of these giants provides vital insights into the principles governing life on Earth, and the implications of current environmental shifts. For example, the book looks at how the Megalodon evolved into a massive marine predator and how the Woolly Mammoth adapted to Ice Age conditions.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with an introduction to gigantism and its drivers. It then investigates the marine environment, focusing on giant sharks and marine reptiles, before shifting to land to explore gigantic mammals like the woolly mammoth. Finally, it examines the extinction events that wiped out many of these giants, evaluating the roles of climate change and human activity.

 
The book presents information from paleontology, geology, and evolutionary biology in an accessible style, avoiding technical jargon and explaining complex concepts clearly, making it valuable to those interested in Earth Sciences, Biology, and prehistoric life.

    The misuse of AI has led to wrongful arrests, denial of medical care, even genocide-this book offers 7 powerful principles that business can use now to end the harm. 
     
    AI holds incredible promise to improve virtually every aspect of our lives, but we can't ignore its risks, mishaps and misuses. Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner offer seven principles for ensuring that machine learning supports human flourishing. They draw on Powell's research at Columbia University and use a wealth of real-world examples. 
      
    Four principles relate to AI systems themselves. Human risk must be rigorously determined and consciously included in any design process. AI systems must be understandable and transparent to any observer, not just the engineers working on them. People must be allowed to protect and manage their personal data. The biases embedded in AI must be confronted and reduced. 
      
    The final three principles pertain to the organizations that create AI systems. There must be procedures in place to hold them accountable for negative consequences. Organizations need to be loosely structured so that problems in one area can be isolated and resolved before they spread and sabotage the whole system. Finally, there must be psychological safety and creative friction, so that anyone involved in software development can bring problems to light without fear of reprisal. 
      
    Powell and Kleiner explore how to implement each principle, citing current best practices, promising new developments, and sobering cautionary tales. Incorporating the perspectives of engineers, businesspeople, government officials, and social activists, this book will help us realize the unprecedented benefits and opportunities AI systems can provide.

    Why do some ideas transform entire systems while others never spread? 
      
    We celebrate startups for changing the world. We rarely ask how innovation happens inside government. Yet some of America's most influential healthcare innovations did not begin in Silicon Valley. They began inside Medicaid.  
     
    In Public Startup, physician, professor, and public health leader Christopher R. Cogle takes readers behind the scenes of one of America's most misunderstood institutions to reveal how meaningful change actually happens. 
      
    Through compelling patient stories, political battles, historical turning points, and firsthand accounts from inside medicine, entrepreneurship, academia, and state government, he uncovers the surprising forces that allow new ideas to take root and improve millions of lives. 
     
    Along the way, Cogle introduces three powerful ideas that challenge conventional thinking: 
      
    * The Margins Lead the Middle. Solutions developed for society's most vulnerable often become the standard for everyone. 
    * Bureaucrats Take the Risks. Many of the boldest experiments in healthcare happen quietly inside government. 
    * The Safety Net Is a Ladder. The strongest public programs create opportunity, restore independence, and strengthen entire communities. 
     
    Hopeful, provocative, and deeply human, Public Startup reveals that innovation is not confined to startups or private industry. Sometimes the ideas that change the world emerge from the institutions we least expect. Whether you're a healthcare professional, policymaker, entrepreneur, public servant, or simply curious about how real change happens, Public Startup will change the way you think about innovation and where to find it.
