  From midwifing new lambs to harvesting basil, Jessica Gigot invites the reader into her life on a small farm and the uncommon road that led her there. Fascinated by farming and the burgeoning local food movement, she spent her twenties wandering the Pacific Northwest, interning at small farms and doing graduate work in horticulture, always with an eye towards learning as much as she could about how and why people farm. Despite numerous setbacks and the many challenges of farming, she created a family and farm life defined by resilience and a genuine love of the land.   
  In A Little Bit of Land, Gigot explores the intricacies of small-scale agriculture in the Pacific Northwest and the changing role of women in this male-dominated industry. Gigot alternates between chapters describing joys, routines, and challenges of farm life and chapters reflecting on her formative experiences in agriculture, on farms and in classrooms from Ashland to the Skagit Valley. Throughout, she explores questions of sustainability, economics, health, and food systems.

  Turing's Vision - How AI is...

  Chat-GPT, humanoid robotics, and self-driving cars are just a few of the things that are changing our everyday lives. The rapid advancement of AI is eroding one by one all the cornerstones considered unique of human nature: language, consciousness, creativity, and moral responsibility. The book argues that the revolution we are facing is driven by Alan Turing's "vision". This vision rests on the idea that intelligence is not an intrinsic property of human beings, but is a way in which matter is functionally organized and an attribute we are naturally inclined to ascribe to certain entities. For decades we have pretended that this idea does not have the corrosive power that it actually does, perhaps more so than the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions. But now, given the achievements of new forms of computing based on deep learning and predictive coding, the most common intuitions can no longer avoid the dangerous Turing idea. 
   
  The book is intended for scholars, researchers, and listeners intrigued by the intersections across disciplines interested in understanding the philosophical, ethical, and social implications of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on human nature.

  Radiolab is on a curiosity bender. We ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. A given episode might whirl you through science, legal history, and into the home of someone halfway across the world. The show is known for innovative sound design, smashing information into music. It is hosted by Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser. 
  VOLUME 3: SPACE 
  “Bit Flip” - What do a hacked Belgian election, a falling airplane, and a fleet of runaway cars all have in common? The answer just might lie in the stars. 
  Terrestrials: “The Unimaginable” (Radiolab for Kids) - An invisible entity journeys to Planet Earth and literally rocks our world. 
  “The Middle of Everything Ever” - We all have moments when, facing the future or staring into the vastness of space, we feel small. But are we small? One listener asked us to find out. 
  “Mixtapes to the Moon” - They promised to change you. They ended up changing all of us. On July 20, 1969, humanity watched as Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon. 
  “The Moon Itself” - On Monday, April 8, 2024, for a large swath of North America, the sun disappeared, in the middle of the day. In this episode, we stop treating the moon like a bit player in this epic cosmic event and place it center stage.
