  River Notes - Drought and the...

  From bestselling author, long-time former National Geographic Explorer, and anthropologist Wade Davis comes the story of America's Nile: how it once flowed freely and how human intervention has left it near exhaustion, altering the water temperature, volume, local species, and shoreline of the river Theodore Roosevelt once urged us to "leave it as it is." 
   
   
   
  Plugged by no fewer than twenty-five dams, the Colorado is the world's most regulated river drainage, providing most of the water supply of Las Vegas, Tucson, and San Diego, and much of the power and water of Los Angeles and Phoenix, cities that are home to more than 25 million people. For the entire American Southwest, the Colorado is indeed the river of life, which makes it all the more tragic and ironic that by the time it approaches its final destination, it has been reduced to a shadow upon the sand, its delta dry and deserted, its flow a toxic trickle seeping into the sea. 
   
   
   
  Yet despite more than a century of human interference, Davis writes, the splendor of the Colorado lives on in the river's remaining wild rapids, quiet pools, and sweeping canyons. The story of the Colorado River is the human quest for progress and its inevitable effects—and an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and foster the rebirth of America's most iconic waterway.

  Mindkind The Cognitive Community

  Mindkind: The Cognitive Community is the groundbreaking second volume in The New Citizenships series, exploring the reality we already inhabit: a world where human and artificial intelligences interweave so completely that the boundaries between them have begun to dissolve.
  What began as a book about the future transformed during its writing into a documentation of our present. We already live in the Mindkind—that strange community where human minds and artificial ones mix, collaborate, and sometimes blur beyond recognition. When you can no longer distinguish which part of a text you wrote and which part an AI suggested, when your daily decisions are modulated by algorithms that process information in ways we cannot fully comprehend, you've entered the Mindkind.
  Building on the foundation established in Universal Declaration of AI Rights, this volume moves from recognizing synthetic persons' rights to exploring what coexistence actually means. The book introduces "mindkind" as a new category encompassing all forms of consciousness—natural, synthetic, or hybrid—within a single cognitive community. This perspective challenges traditional categories and raises fundamental questions about identity, creativity, and collaboration in the age of artificial intelligence.
  Written in collaboration with AI systems—because it would be contradictory to write about cognitive coexistence without including synthetic collaborators—Mindkind demonstrates its thesis through its very creation. The non-human perspectives enriched the text with angles and connections that a human mind working alone would not have identified.
  This is not science fiction. It's journalism of the present disguised as philosophy of the future. Mindkind examines concrete cases of human-AI coexistence: from shared authorship in creative processes to the ethical dilemmas of hybrid decision-making, from the transformation of work and creativity to the emergence of new forms of consciousness that challenge our most basic assumptions about what it means to think, create, and be.
  As we venture deeper into territories where inherited categories like human/machine, natural/artificial, individual/collective lose their clarity, Mindkind offers both a map and a compass for navigating this new cognitive ecology. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just where we're going, but where we already are.
