Inevitable - Distributed Cognition & Network Superintelligence

T. Dylan Daniel

Sinossi

Modern science has done an extremely good job of getting to the bottom of a number of tough problems in information theory and the study of cognition. It is therefore surprising to see that the concept of artificial intelligence has derailed into speculation about intelligent machines. This book presents a contrasting vision of the future of intelligence. Instead of assuming that artificial general intelligence is on the way, the time has come to reconsider the way we think about AI in light of the facts that emerge from a careful study of the intelligence found in living minds.

AI is a mere computer program, but it is special because it can quickly navigate the digital records human beings have been making as we share our culture, our ideas, and our thoughts with one another online and via literature & speech. Minds are the origin of the material that large language models are made out of, but too many researchers have reached the wrong conclusions about the differences between biological intelligence and artificial intelligence. INEVITABLE: Distributed Cognition & Network Superintelligence is written to explore the ways in which people are already using network technologies to organize and share a staggering amount of information with each other.

Enter the vision of a future in which people have learned to proactively organize around our shared bodies of knowledge, of collective human intelligence. Language brings us the ability to share our mental processes with other people around the world as we build our social networks and move forward into an ever-more-connected way of life. Providing individuals with ever-increasing access to information has been a developing goal of modern technology for some time now. As distributed systems technologies improve, it will become increasingly important to maintain the shared collective human intelligence.

Sustainable Botany -...

Jeron Iris

This book contains the following titles:
Botany - Botany, the scientific study of plants, forms the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world and is crucial to numerous fields such as agriculture, medicine, and environmental science. Plants are integral to life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and raw materials. They play a fundamental role in the planet's ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance. By examining plants in-depth, botany reveals their structures, functions, and the intricate relationships they have with other living organisms. At its core, botany seeks to answer key questions about how plants grow, develop, reproduce, and adapt to their environments. This branch of biology explores a wide range of plant life, from the microscopic algae and fungi to towering trees and flowering plants. The study of plants extends beyond their mere anatomy and physiology; it also includes their evolutionary history, classification, and their interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.
Sustainability - Sustainability refers to the practice of maintaining processes and systems that support the well-being of both current and future generations. It encompasses a broad range of disciplines, from ecology and economics to social equity, focusing on long-term balance and responsible use of resources. At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources.

Volcanology - The Fiery...

Mike Crawford

Volcanoes have long captured the human imagination, evoking awe and fear in equal measure. These mighty forces of nature, with their explosive eruptions and slow, relentless lava flows, seem to embody the raw power of the Earth itself. For centuries, volcanoes have inspired myths, legends, and scientific curiosity. They are a reminder of the dynamic nature of our planet and the complex forces shaping its surface. From ancient cultures that viewed volcanoes as the homes of gods, to modern scientists who study them to better understand the planet’s inner workings, the fascination with these fiery mountains persists. 
Volcanoes are among the most visible and dramatic expressions of the Earth’s geological processes. They form when molten rock, or magma, from beneath the Earth's crust escapes to the surface, often resulting in the creation of new landforms. This natural phenomenon is not only awe-inspiring but also offers insights into the fundamental processes of plate tectonics and the movement of the Earth’s lithosphere. The eruption of a volcano, whether it’s a gentle release of lava or a violent explosion that sends ash and gas into the atmosphere, can alter the landscape and climate in profound ways.

The Apothecary's Wife - The...

Karen Bloom Gevirtz

The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments—and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century. 
 
 
 
Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today's global for-profit medication system. A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary's Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine's values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.
