Sinopsis

'Human Brain Oddities' takes readers on a fascinating journey through the lesser-known aspects of neural function and cognitive phenomena that invisibly shape our daily behaviors and perceptions.

 
This comprehensive exploration focuses on three key areas: the unexpected ways our brains adapt and change, how we make decisions without conscious awareness, and the surprising biases in how we process sensory information. The book presents intriguing phenomena like blind sight, where individuals with damaged visual cortex can respond to visual stimuli they don't consciously see, and the unexpected connection between gut bacteria and brain function.

 
Through careful examination of decades of research, including functional MRI studies and clinical cases, the text challenges conventional understanding of how our brains operate. The authors maintain scientific accuracy while using clear explanations and relevant examples, making complex neuroscientific concepts accessible to both general readers and professionals.

 
Progressing from fundamental neural processing concepts to specific phenomena and practical applications, the book bridges multiple disciplines including neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics. Each section builds upon the previous, ultimately connecting theoretical insights to real-world applications in learning, decision-making, and behavior modification.

 
This practical approach, combined with the integration of recent research findings, makes it particularly valuable for healthcare professionals, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the hidden mechanisms of human behavior.

    Artificial intelligence has revolutionized industries by identifying patterns and making predictions from vast amounts of data. However, the true power of AI lies not just in recognizing correlations but in understanding causation—the fundamental "why" behind events and outcomes. 
    Causal Intelligence provides a comprehensive exploration of how causal inference principles can transform AI systems from mere pattern detectors into tools capable of reasoning, decision-making, and ethical intervention. Combining the rigor of causal theory with the practicalities of modern AI, this book bridges the gap between two evolving fields to unlock groundbreaking applications in healthcare, finance, public policy, and beyond. 
    Whether you’re a data scientist, AI practitioner, researcher, or curious technologist, this book will empower you to:Grasp the fundamental differences between correlation and causation.Understand key causal inference frameworks, including Pearl's Causal Hierarchy and Rubin's Causal Model.Discover techniques for identifying causal relationships in complex data.Learn how to integrate causal reasoning into machine learning and AI systems.Explore real-world applications and case studies where causality transforms outcomes.Address fairness and ethics in AI using a causal perspective. 
    Written in an accessible yet rigorous style, Causal Intelligence serves as a roadmap for the next generation of AI systems—ones that don’t just predict the future but understand it, shape it, and improve it. Dive into the emerging world of causal AI and discover how it’s poised to redefine data-driven decision-making for the better.

    Not long ago, the Solar System was the only example of a planetary system—a star and the bodies orbiting it—that we knew. Now, we know thousands of planetary systems, and have even been able to observe planetary systems at the moment of their birth. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction explores this new frontier, incorporating the latest research. The book takes the listener on a journey through the grand sweep of time, from the moment galaxies begin to form after the Big Bang to trillions of years in the future when the Universe will be a dilute soup of dim galaxies populated mostly by red dwarf stars. Throughout, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert introduces the latest insights gained from a new generation of telescopes that catch planetary systems at the moment of formation, and to the theoretical advances that attempt to make sense of these observations. He explains how the elements that make up life and the planets on which life can live are forged in the interiors of dying stars, and make their way into rocky planets. He also explores the vast array of newly discovered planets orbiting stars other than our own, and explains the factors that determine their climates. Finally, he reveals what determines how long planetary systems can live, and what happens in their end-times.

    WINNER OF THE 2022 WRITERS’ TRUST BALSILLIE PRIZE FOR PUBLIC POLICY
    		 
    Is the ‘smart city’ the utopia we’ve been waiting for?
    		 
    The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.
    		 
    But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities — one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.
    		 
    Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.
    		 
    “John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life.” – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
    		 
    “Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building.” – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
    		 
    “Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities
