Fjord Formation

Sinopse

Fjord Formation explores the captivating origins of fjords, those stunning, steep-sided inlets carved by glacial activity. It reveals how the immense power of ice reshapes the Earth, emphasizing the interplay between glacial processes, geological structures, and subsequent environmental changes. One intriguing fact is that fjords aren't solely products of glacial erosion; pre-existing fault lines and bedrock types significantly dictate their location and characteristics. The book further argues that post-glacial processes like isostatic rebound continue to mold these dynamic landscapes.

 
The book approaches the topic by first introducing glacial geology and fjord morphology. It then examines the specific mechanisms by which glaciers erode and deposit sediment. Subsequent chapters explore the geological influences and conclude with a discussion of post-glacial processes and their impact on fjord ecosystems. Through geological surveys and case studies from around the globe, the book illustrates the diversity of fjord landscapes, highlighting the importance of glacial geology, geomorphology, and climate change.

Artificial Intelligence

Introbooks Team

There is no definition of artificial intelligence (AI), but several. Ia is to make computers think like humans or that are as intelligent as humans. Thus, the ultimate goal of the research on this topic is to develop a machine that can simulate some human skills and to replace them with some activities.
Artificial intelligence is part of the Computer Science studies. The programs use the same language of conventional systems, but with a different logic. There are several ways to do this program. In some cases, the intelligent system operates with a simple logic - if the question is x, y is the answer. In other cases, such as studies on neural networks, the machine tries to reproduce the functioning of human neurons, where the information will be transmitted from one cell to another and combined with other data to arrive at a solution.
There are several branches of study in intelligent systems, each one dedicated to a particular aspect of human behavior. For example, some robots study and worry about the driving part. Other areas have addressed speech, with the goal of creating machines that can talk, understand the language and their meanings. The professor also claims that all research is highly specialized, and therefore no one is engaged in building a machine that reproduces the human being in its entirety - as in science fiction movies. Also, for this reason, robot production is very unlikely to become more intelligent than humans and can be "rebel". Many experts do not see the possibility of Android similar to man. There are studies that try to make the computer be able to learn, but even so, he still not aware of the world. Follow this e-book some of the major and controversial issues around the Artificial Intelligence.

Tech Monopoly - (The MIT Press...

Herbert Hovenkamp

In recent years, the astronomical rise of tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft has been criticized as anticompetitive, and many have wondered if antitrust law can help protect workers and consumers. In Tech Monopoly, Herbert Hovenkamp explores competition problems in a wide range of high-tech firms—from those that sell purely digital products, such as video streaming, search, software, or email services, to others that sell more traditional "tactile" products, such as hardware, clothing, groceries, or rides. He offers a realistic look at the powers and limitations of antitrust law in tech markets with an assessment that is as comprehensive as it is accessible. 
 
 
 
After a general introduction to antitrust law, Tech Monopoly considers how competitive harm should be assessed in these markets. Then Hovenkamp looks at the role of large digital platforms, including Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, and considers whether their size alone is an antitrust problem or if the concern should be limited to market power. Finally, the author addresses the very difficult problem of remedies. Should we "break up" big tech, and if so, how? What kind of breakup of these firms would make users or others better off? And if breakups are not the only possible antitrust fix, are there more effective and less disruptive alternatives?

Net Zero: How We Stop Causing...

Dieter Helm

What can we really do about the climate emergency?  
  
The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing – or even just slowing – it will affect all of us. But it can be done. 
In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm addresses the action we would all need to take, whether personal, local, national or global, if we really wanted to stop causing climate change. 
Net Zero is Professor Dieter Helm’s measured, balanced view of how we stop causing climate change by adopting a net zero strategy of reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon absorption. It is a rational look at why the past 30 years efforts has failed and why and how the next 30 years can succeed. It is a vital book for anyone who hears the clamour of Extinction Rebellion and other ecological activists, but wonders what they can actually do. 
Helm's Net Zero is a comprehensive exploration of the climate crisis, covering everything from the science of global warming to the political and social implications of environmental conservation. It's a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the role of technology, agriculture, and public administration in achieving a net zero future. 
For fans of Isabella Tree (Wilding), Vaclav Smil (Size), Bill Gates (Source Code), Linda J. Lear (Under the Sea Wind), and Rachel Carson (The Edge of the Sea).
