Synopsis

'Living in Costa Rica' offers a detailed exploration of sustainable living and relocation opportunities in this environmentally progressive Central American nation. The book uniquely combines practical guidance with environmental consciousness, examining how Costa Rica's impressive environmental achievements—including protecting 25% of its territory and generating 98% of electricity from renewable sources—shape daily life for expatriates and potential residents.

 
Through three comprehensive sections focusing on Environmental Integration, Economic Navigation, and Social Adaptation, readers gain insights into everything from regional biodiversity and climate patterns to housing markets and cultural integration strategies. The book stands out for its thorough analysis of how environmental policies influence everyday decisions, from choosing transportation to designing sustainable homes.

 
Drawing from governmental statistics, expatriate surveys, and firsthand accounts, it provides current, actionable information for anyone considering a move to Costa Rica. The text particularly excels in addressing the specific needs of retirees, digital nomads, and environmentally conscious individuals, offering detailed regional comparisons from the cloud forests of Monteverde to the coastal communities of Guanacaste.

 
It tackles practical challenges like healthcare navigation and residency permits while maintaining a strong focus on sustainable living practices and cultural integration. This comprehensive approach helps readers understand not just how to move to Costa Rica, but how to thrive there while embracing the country's environmental values and cultural richness.

    Global urbanization is one of the defining phenomena of the 21st century, reshaping the landscape of human society in profound and often unpredictable ways. Urban areas have become epicenters of economic, cultural, and technological growth, drawing millions of people in search of better opportunities. As more than half of the world’s population now resides in cities, the rapid expansion of urban areas raises both exciting prospects and complex challenges. This shift is not just about the physical growth of cities, but also the transformation of how societies function, how people live, and how global systems interact with local realities. 
    At its core, global urbanization is driven by a multitude of factors. The movement of people from rural to urban areas, spurred by the promise of economic opportunity and improved living standards, has accelerated with globalization. As the world becomes more interconnected, cities are increasingly positioned as nodes in a vast, global network. These cities are not isolated entities but are linked by flows of capital, information, and labor, contributing to the spread of economic, cultural, and technological trends. This interconnectedness means that changes in one city can have ripple effects worldwide, making the study of urbanization crucial for understanding the broader dynamics of global society. 
    However, urbanization is not a uniform process. While some cities grow through industrialization and technological advancements, others are expanding due to rapid population growth driven by migration and high birth rates. The result is a global urban landscape marked by diversity in size, scale, economic power, and social complexity. While cities like New York, London, and Tokyo have long been at the forefront of global urbanization, emerging cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are now gaining prominence.

    Since ChatGPT burst into the public consciousness in 2022, AI has thoroughly infiltrated everyday life. Machines can now take on work once thought to be solely the domain of human beings--from writing college essays to composing worship music. How should Christians respond to this brave new technology? 
     
    In this accessible introduction to AI, Sean O'Callaghan and Paul Hoffman explore its social and ethical impacts for ministry and teaching. The authors shed light on the biblical vision for human flourishing--and on how AI can help or hinder that flourishing. Avoiding both alarmism and uncritical acceptance, O'Callaghan and Hoffman offer resources and practical tools for using AI in our classrooms and congregations. 
     
    AI can write a generic three-point sermon, but it cannot replace an authentic encounter between humans and the divine. In a time of cultural confusion, O'Callaghan and Hoffman encourage readers to embrace the clarity found in the gospel. The book includes a foreword by A. Trevor Sutton.

    Digital technology runs on algorithms, sets of instructions that describe how to do something efficiently. Application areas range from search engines to tournament scheduling, DNA sequencing, and machine learning. Arguing that every educated person today needs to have some understanding of algorithms and what they do, in this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Panos Louridas offers an introduction to algorithms that is accessible to nonspecialists. Louridas explains not just what algorithms are but also how they work, offering a wide range of examples and keeping mathematics to a minimum. 
     
     
     
    After discussing what an algorithm does and how its effectiveness can be measured, Louridas covers three of the most fundamental applications areas: graphs, which describe networks, from eighteenth-century problems to today's social networks; searching, and how to find the fastest way to search; and sorting, and the importance of choosing the best algorithm for particular tasks. He then presents larger-scale applications: PageRank, Google's founding algorithm; and neural networks and deep learning. Finally, Louridas describes how all algorithms are nothing more than simple moves with pen and paper, and how from such a humble foundation rise all their spectacular achievements.
