  Invention and Innovation - A...

  Vaclav Smil

  The world is never finished catching up with Vaclav Smil. In his latest and perhaps most readable book, Invention and Innovation, the prolific author—a favorite of Bill Gates—pens an insightful and fact-filled jaunt through the history of invention.  
   
  Impatient with the hype that so often accompanies innovation, Smil offers in this book a clear-eyed corrective to the overpromises of new inventions—from cures for diseases to AI. He reminds us that even after we go quite far along the invention-development-application trajectory, we  
  may never get anything real to deploy. Or worse, even after we have succeeded by introducing an invention, its future may be marked by underperformance, disappointment, demise, or outright harm. 
   
  Drawing on his vast breadth of scientific and historical knowledge, Smil explains the difference between invention and innovation, and looks not only at inventions that failed to dominate as promised (such as the airship, nuclear fission, and supersonic flight) but also at those that turned  
  disastrous (leaded gasoline, DDT, and chlorofluorocarbons). And finally, he offers a “wish list” of inventions that we most urgently need to confront the staggering challenges of the twenty-first century. 
   
  Filled with engaging examples and pragmatic approaches, this book is a sobering account of the folly that so often attends human ingenuity—and how we can, and must, better align our expectations with reality.

  The AI Mirror - How to Reclaim...

  Shannon Vallor

  For many, technology offers hope for the future—that promise of shared human flourishing and liberation that always seems to elude our species. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies spark this hope in a particular way. They promise a future in which human limits and frailties are finally overcome—not by us, but by our machines. Yet rather than open new futures, today's powerful AI technologies reproduce the past. Forged from oceans of our data into immensely powerful but flawed mirrors, they reflect the same errors, biases, and failures of wisdom that we strive to escape. Our new digital mirrors point backward. They show only where the data say that we have already been, never where we might venture together for the first time. 
   
   
   
  To meet today's grave challenges to our species and our planet, we will need something new from AI, and from ourselves. 
   
   
   
  Shannon Vallor makes a wide-ranging, prophetic, and philosophical case for what AI could be: a way to reclaim our human potential for moral and intellectual growth, rather than lose ourselves in mirrors of the past. Rejecting prophecies of doom, she encourages us to pursue technology that helps us recover our sense of the possible, and with it the confidence and courage to repair a broken world. Vallor calls us to rethink what AI is and can be, and what we want to be with it.

  Mississippi rivers and creeks have shaped every aspect of the state's geology, ecology, economy, settlement, and politics. Mississippi's paddleways—its rivers, rills, creeks, and streams—are its arteries, its lifeblood, and the connective tissues that tie its stories and histories together and flood them with a sense of place and impel them along the current of time. The rivers provide structure for the telling of stories. In Paddleways of Mississippi: Rivers and People of the Magnolia State, listeners will discover flowing details of virtually every waterway in the state—the features, wildlife, vegetation, geology, hydrology, and specific challenges to be expected—alongside many wonderful historical and social accounts specific to each system. 
   
   
   
  Interviews and oral histories enliven these waterways with evocative scenery, engaging anecdotes, interesting historical tales, and personal accounts of the people and communities that arose along the waterways of Mississippi. Part natural history, part narrative nonfiction, Paddleways of Mississippi will appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, naturalists, campers, and historians, and is suitable for novices as well as experts. Told together, the pieces included are a social and ecological history that exposes and deepens the connection coursing between the people and the rivers.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Cybersecurity is not a product, dashboard, checklist, or one-time project. It is a business decision discipline for managing risk, resilience, and trust. 
   
  Cybersecurity Decision System gives executives, business owners, boards, operations and finance leaders, technology teams, and outside providers a framework for making, documenting, testing, and revisiting cyber-risk decisions without requiring them to become cybersecurity engineers. 
   
  Written by technology entrepreneur and cybersecurity executive Tush Nikollaj and applied-AI and cybersecurity author Nikolay Gul, the audiobook helps listeners separate meaningful security signals from technical noise; connect cybersecurity findings to operational and financial consequences; manage protection, continuity, speed, visibility, cost, and human behavior; establish verification rules for payments, access, sensitive information, and executive requests; govern AI and shadow AI; clarify vendor responsibility and shared-risk boundaries; and prepare stronger evidence for customers, insurers, regulators, leadership teams, and boards. 
   
  Listeners learn to use the Cybersecurity Decision Ledger, build a Trust Evidence Pack, run a 90-Day Cybersecurity Readiness Sprint, rehearse incidents and recovery, and apply the Decision Parallax Refresh to update time-sensitive evidence without confusing new statistics with better decisions. 
   
  The expanded audiobook also includes The Control Tower Principle, a model for protecting the organization while keeping the business moving, and a Bonus Learning Guide for professionals, students, educators, and startup founders developing trusted cybersecurity and AI-security decision-making skills. 
   
  This is not a fear-based cybersecurity book or a technical implementation manual. It is a practical leadership system for making better decisions before, during, and after uncertainty. 
   
  The companion workbook includes decision tools, checklists, source links, and implementation resources.
