Synopsis

Mountain Formation explores the geological processes behind the Earth's majestic mountain ranges. It delves into how tectonic activity, erosion, and time shape these dramatic landscapes. The book investigates the dynamic interplay of forces, highlighting how mountains influence regional weather patterns and serve as biodiversity hotspots. Understanding mountain formation is crucial, as mountains play a significant role in global climate and resource distribution.

 
The book begins by explaining plate tectonics and the rock cycle, laying the groundwork for understanding compressional, volcanic, and fault-block mountains. It then examines how folding and faulting deform rocks, creating complex mountain structures. Through examples from the Andes to the Alps, the title illustrates how different geological settings give rise to diverse landscapes.

 
The book emphasizes that mountain ranges are not static but dynamic products of ongoing geological processes, shaped by both internal energy and surface erosion. The book connects geological processes with ecological and climatic impacts, showing how mountains shape global biodiversity and weather patterns. It draws upon seismic surveys, satellite imagery, and field studies to support its arguments. The book's process-oriented approach distinguishes it from purely descriptive accounts, making it valuable for students of geology, geography, and anyone interested in Earth's ever-changing landscapes.

    We are accelerating towards the automated future. But this new future brings new risks. It is no surprise that after years of development and recent breakthroughs, artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming businesses, consumer electronics, and the national security landscape. But like all digital technologies, AI can fail and be left vulnerable to hacking. The ability to hack AI and the technology industry's lack of effort to secure it is thought by experts to be the biggest unaddressed technology issue of our time. Hacking Artificial Intelligence sheds light on these hacking risks, explaining them to those who can make a difference. 
     
     
     
    Today, very few people—including those in influential business and government positions—are aware of the new risks that accompany automated systems. While society hurdles ahead with AI, we are also rushing towards a security and safety nightmare. This book is the first-ever layman's guide to the new world of hacking AI and introduces the field to thousands of people who should be aware of these risks. From a security perspective, AI is today where the internet was thirty years ago. It is wide open and can be exploited. Listeners from leaders to AI enthusiasts and practitioners alike are shown how AI hacking is a real risk to organizations and are provided with a framework to assess such risks, before problems arise.

    An eye-opening exploration of the medical origins of gender in modern US history.  
     
    Today, a world without “gender” is hard to imagine. Gender is at the center of contentious political and social debates, shapes policy decisions, and informs our everyday lives. Its formulation, however, is lesser known: Gender was first used in clinical practice. This book tells the story of the invention of gender in American medicine, detailing how it was shaped by mid-twentieth-century American notions of culture, personality, and social engineering.  
     
    Sandra Eder shows how the concept of gender transformed from a pragmatic tool in the sex assignment of children with intersex traits in the 1950s to an essential category in clinics for transgender individuals in the 1960s. Following gender outside the clinic, she reconstructs the variable ways feminists integrated gender into their theories and practices in the 1970s. The process by which ideas about gender became medicalized, enforced, and popularized was messy, and the route by which gender came to be understood and applied through the treatment of patients with intersex traits was fraught and contested. In historicizing the emergence of the sex/gender binary, Eder reveals the role of medical practice in developing a transformative idea and the interdependence between practice and wider social norms that inform the attitudes of physicians and researchers. She shows that ideas like gender can take on a life of their own and may be used to question the normative perceptions they were based on. Illuminating and deeply researched, the book closes a notable gap in the history of gender and will inspire current debates on the relationship between social norms and medical practice.
