Synopsis

"Thickest Trunks" explores the fascinating world of trees with exceptionally wide trunks, delving into their biology, ecology, and crucial role in our environment. These arboreal giants, like the General Sherman Tree, are more than just impressive; they are vital for carbon sequestration, water cycling, and maintaining biodiversity. The book investigates how these trees efficiently store water and nutrients, acting as living reservoirs.

 
The book examines the biological mechanisms behind massive trunk growth, including cambial growth and genetic factors. It also highlights the environmental conditions, such as rainfall and soil, that either promote or hinder this growth.

 
Progressing systematically, "Thickest Trunks" initially establishes the principles of tree biology and then showcases trees from various regions. It synthesizes key factors that contribute to thick trunks and discusses conservation strategies.

 
By understanding the secrets of these botanical wonders, we can gain valuable insights into forest management and conservation. The book presents evidence from botanical research, dendrochronology, and ecological surveys, making it valuable for anyone interested in nature, biology, and environmental science.

    The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
    "My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
    "It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."

    This landmark work— a foundational volume in the ecological canon— points to a necessary transformation of consciousness if mankind and the planet are to survive. Drawing upon the wisdom of the world's greatest thinkers, Thomas Berry forges a balanced, deeply felt declaration of planetary independence from the sociological, psychological, and intellectual conditioning that threatens the death of the Earth.

    Literary Theory for Robots reveals the hidden history of modern machine intelligence, taking listeners on a spellbinding journey from medieval Arabic philosophy to visions of a universal language, past Hollywood fiction factories, and missile defense systems trained on Russian folktales. In this provocative reflection on the shared pasts of literature and computer science, former Microsoft engineer and professor of comparative literature Dennis Yi Tenen provides crucial context for recent developments in AI, which holds important lessons for the future of humans living with smart technology. 
     
     
     
    Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice—to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool, embedded in every word-processor, represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries. 
     
     
     
    With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers.
