Beschreibung

In "Curiosities of Light and Sight," Shelford Bidwell embarks on an illuminating exploration into the realms of optics and perception. This engaging work melds scientific inquiry with captivating narrative, reflecting the author's mastery of both clear exposition and poetic language. Employing a blend of historical anecdotes, experimental insights, and philosophical musings, Bidwell captures the intricate relationship between light and the human experience, inviting readers to ponder the nature of reality as perceived through the prism of vision. The book positions itself within the broader context of 19th-century scientific advancement, echoing the era's fervor for understanding the natural world. Shelford Bidwell, a noted physicist and writer, draws from his rich academic background, which includes studies in both science and literature. His multifaceted career has afforded him a unique perspective on the intersection of these disciplines, prompting him to reflect on how light not only illuminates our environment but also shapes our perceptions and understanding of life itself. This work emerges as a testament to his belief in the power of knowledge to transform both vision and imagination. For those intrigued by the mysteries of perception and the scientific principles underlying visual phenomena, "Curiosities of Light and Sight" is an essential read. Bidwell's eloquent prose and thoughtful insights invite readers to reconsider their relationship with light, urging us to see beyond mere appearances and grasp the deeper wonders that shape our world.

    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.

    On the Origin of Species is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. 
    Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream.

    This book contains the following titles: 
    Applied Physics - At its heart, applied physics bridges the gap between the abstract and the tangible. It transforms equations, theories, and experiments into solutions that have revolutionized modern society. The development of technologies such as semiconductors, lasers, and imaging systems began with fundamental discoveries in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism. These technologies now play a critical role in shaping industries, improving healthcare, and enhancing communication. 
    Astrophysics - Astrophysics, the study of the physical nature of celestial objects and the universe as a whole, seeks to answer some of humanity's most profound questions. What are the fundamental forces governing the cosmos? How did the universe originate, and what is its ultimate fate? These inquiries lie at the heart of astrophysics, a discipline that merges physics, mathematics, and astronomy to explore the heavens beyond the reach of Earth. 
    Chemistry - The field of chemistry is divided into several branches, each focusing on different aspects of matter. Organic chemistry, for example, deals with the structure and reactions of carbon-containing compounds, which form the basis of life. Inorganic chemistry, on the other hand, focuses on non-carbon compounds and materials like metals, salts, and minerals. Physical chemistry explores the energy changes and dynamics of chemical reactions, while analytical chemistry involves techniques to determine the composition of substances. 
    Physics - Over time, physics has expanded its scope to include a wide range of subfields. Classical mechanics, which focuses on the motion of objects and the forces acting on them, remains a fundamental area of study. However, as technology advanced, new branches emerged, such as electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
