Summary

Bacteria Eat Metal reveals the unseen world of microbial corrosion, highlighting how microorganisms consume steel, a cornerstone of modern infrastructure. This book explores the biological mechanisms, environmental factors, and mitigation strategies related to this phenomenon. Microbial corrosion results in billions of dollars in damages annually to pipelines, ships, and offshore platforms, posing significant environmental risks. A key insight is understanding how microbes adapt to different metallic and environmental conditions through gene expression, influencing the rate and type of corrosion. The book traces the evolution of corrosion science, integrating microbiology with traditional metallurgy and electrochemistry.

 
It begins by introducing the microbes involved, their metabolic processes, and favoring environmental conditions. It then details the mechanisms by which microbes attack metal, including electrochemical and biochemical reactions. Finally, the book explores real-world impacts through case studies and examines current and emerging prevention strategies, providing practical knowledge for industry professionals and policymakers.

    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.
