Power Trip
Summary
A global tour of energy - the builder of human civilization and also its greatest threat. Energy is humanity's single most important resource. In fact, as energy expert Michael E. Webber argues in Power Trip, the story of how societies rise can be told largely as the story of how they manage energy sources through time. In 2019, as we face down growing demand for and accumulating environmental impacts from energy, we are at a crossroads and the stakes are high. But history shows us that energy's great value is that it allows societies to reinvent themselves. Power Trip explores how energy has transformed societies of the past and offers wisdom for today's looming energy crisis. There is no magic bullet; energy advances always come with costs. Scientific innovation needs public support. Energy initiatives need to be tailored to individual societies. We must look for long-term solutions. Our current energy crisis is real, but it is solvable. We have the power.

Turning Text into Gold
Summary
In our distant past, we attempted to create wealth by turning everyday substances into gold. This was early alchemy, and ultimately it did not work. But the world has changed. Today we have a type of "modern alchemy" that really can create gold. We can transform voluminous text into a wealth of knowledge. Text is a common fabric of society, yet it is still challenging for our technology to make sense of text. This is where taxonomies can help. In this book, Bill Inmon will introduce you to the concept of taxonomies and how they are used to simplify and understand text. We emphasize the practical aspects of taxonomies, and the subsequent usage of taxonomies as a basis for textual analytics. This book is for managers who have to deal with text, students of computer science, programmers who need to understand taxonomies, systems analysts who hope to draw business value out of a body of text, and especially those who are struggling to decode data lakes. Hopefully for those individuals (and many more), this book will serve as both an introduction to taxonomies and a guide to how taxonomies can be used to bring text into the realm of corporate decision-making. This book will introduce you to the world of taxonomies, as well as explore: Simple and complex taxonomies Ontologies Obtaining taxonomies Changing taxonomies Taxonomies and data models Types of textual data Textual analytics In addition, several case studies are presented from industries as diverse as banking, call centers, and travel.

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Summary
Do you want to learn how machine learning and AI can be applied in practice and be compatible with human behavior in modern times? If yes, then keep reading... Machine learning is a data-driven approach. Hence, it implies the availability of large datasets in order to make accurate decisions. The way a machine learning approach works is that a modeler develops a learning algorithm. Then the modeler feeds the learning algorithm with the data and information. The algorithm learns by itself from the data with no guidance or human interference. If the data provided for the algorithm is of poor quality and biased, even the system will be. Hence, cleaning and acquiring the right data to solve a problem with machine learning problem is very crucial. Could turning important decisions over to AI help humanity? Some might say that's a terrible idea, but how much worse is it today where we've turned over our societies and civilizations to corrupt leadership, crony capitalism, or had to deal with rogue nation states in other parts of the world with two bit dictators, religious fanaticism, or the quest to destroy another group of peoples' civilization? Perhaps, it's time we came up with a special think tank that could go through all the issues concerning our fears and what we hope to expect from AI decision-making machines. That is to say how to get the best possible answer all the time with the greatest probability. This audiobook gives comprehensive information on the following chapters: Correlation Between Machine Learning and Artificial Learning The Era of Evolution Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Practice Self-Driving Cars Robots and How They Will Change Our Lives Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and IoT Ethics of Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence and Privacy Is Artificial Intelligence Dangerous? Will Humans and Artificial Intelligence Live Together in Future? And more! Wake up and listen now!

How Digital Technology Shapes Us
Summary
Most adults are concerned that children have much too much technology in their lives these days and are spending way too much time on screens. But as Professor Indre Viskontas points out in How Digital Technology Shapes Us, we are not the first to worry that new technology will harm our children and future generations. At least since the beginning of recorded history, we have been underestimating the capacity of the human brain to adapt to and take advantage of emerging technologies. In this course, Professor Viskontas shares some of the most exciting research into this relatively new topic, providing a scientific approach to judging the true pros and cons of our interaction with technology in the digital age. Many of us believe we are adjusting well to this new digital technology with its constant demands on our time and attention by increasing our multitasking. But multitasking cannot save us because our brain is not capable of true multitasking. What we experience as multitasking is actually our brain flitting back and forth from this task to the next to the next to the next. That we can do, but in the process, we could be losing the ability - and opportunity - to perform deep work, the opportunity for deep reading, and the empathy that builds up when we think deeply about people who are different from us, to truly expand the tribe rather than reinforce tribalism. The good news is that just recognizing the significance of deep work and deep reading, we can make it a priority and arrange some time to focus on just that without distractions. If we do, those pathways that lead to deeper cognition can become reinforced. We can also help our children focus on the positives of digital media, empowering them to connect with others to find purpose, motivation, and support. We can spend time with them to encourage them to find opportunities for deep reading and deep work in age-appropriate ways. Digital technology definitely shapes us. But once we learn how it does so, we can make good decisions for our ourselves and our children.

The Weather Machine
Summary
From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour through the global network that predicts our weather, the people behind it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planet. The weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It’s a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet behind all these humble interactions is the largest and most elaborate piece of infrastructure human beings have ever constructed - a triumph of both science and global cooperation. But what is the weather machine, and who created it? In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the people, places, and tools of forecasting, exploring how the weather went from something we simply observed to something we could actually predict. As he travels across the planet, he visits some of the oldest and most important weather stations and watches the newest satellites blast off. He explores the dogged efforts of forecasters to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere while trying to grasp the ongoing relevance of TV weather forecasters. In the increasingly unpredictable world of climate change, correctly understanding the weather is vital. Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our changing relationships with technology, the planet, and our global community.

The narrator in the audiobook version seems to be pretty good. He doesn't drone on. This book is a combination or bundle of two books. One book is 27,000 words on just Python, and the other book is 27,000 words on JavaScript, HTML, SQL, and CSS. The audiobook is 10 hours and 6 minutes. In the first book in the bundle, The Ultimate Python Programming Guide for Beginners, you will learn all the essential tools to become proficient in the Python programming language.

Hopefully, by the end of this book, you will have the answers to the questions of what it is and what you can do with it. JavaScript is a programming language that allows for the implementation of complex items on static web pages. Every time you look at a web page that does something besides display static information, it is a pretty safe assumption to make that JavaScript is involved. It is often referred to as the third layer of the cake. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

If you're just coming into the Search Engine Optimization field it's important to note that if you're looking for a guide to learn the real methods & techniques for ranking today, it had better be a recent guide. Why is that? The industry has changed and evolved so much because of the recent changes that Google has introduced into its algorithms. These changes have drastically affected rankings and how Google scores listings on its search engine results pages (SERPs). Here is what's happened: Google Panda: Google released the Google Panda in February of 2011, and has sent out dozens of these modified "Panda Attacks" to kill off listings that have offered low quality content that did not abide by Google's Webmaster Guidelines. This created a dramatic shift in SERPs. Google Penguin: In April of 2012 the search engine giant released the Google Penguin which set out to punish sites that tried to implement more evasive techniques for trying to quickly rank their Websites on SERPs. These are techniques that Webmasters and SEO specialists were using for years that can now backfire and not only see you drop in rankings, but worse, even see you face possible de-indexing. These algorithm changes shifted the entire SEO landscape in 2013…. It's important that you understand what methods will work today and what won't and The SEO Black Book offers you an intuitive approach to ranking with SEO in 2013 and beyond.

Summary
"Mike Kanaan is an influential new voice in the field of AI, and his thoughts paint an insightful perspective. A thought-provoking read." Eric Schmidt, former CEO and executive chairman of Google Late in 2017, the conversation about the global impact of artificial intelligence (AI) changed forever. China delivered a bold message when it released a national plan to dominate all aspects of AI across the planet. Within weeks, Russia's Vladimir Putin raised the stakes by declaring AI the future for all humankind, and proclaiming that, "Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world." The race was on. Consistent with their unique national agendas, countries throughout the world began plotting their paths and hurrying their pace. Now, not long after, the race has become a sprint. Despite everything at risk, for most of us AI remains shrouded by a cloud of mystery and misunderstanding. Hidden behind complex technical terms and confused even further by extravagant depictions in science fiction, the realities of AI and its profound implications are hard to decipher, but no less crucial to understand. In T-Minus AI: Humanity's Countdown to Artificial Intelligence and the New Pursuit of Global Power, author Michael Kanaan explains the realities of AI from a human-oriented perspective that's easy to comprehend. A recognized national expert and the U.S. Air Force's first Chairperson for Artificial Intelligence, Kanaan weaves a compelling new view on our history of innovation and technology to masterfully explain what each of us should know about modern computing, AI, and machine learning. Kanaan also illuminates the global implications of AI by highlighting the cultural and national vulnerabilities already exposed and the pressing issues now squarely on the table. AI has already become China's all-purpose tool to impose authoritarian influence around the world. Russia, playing catch up, is weaponizing AI through its military systems and now infamous, aggressive efforts to disrupt democracy by whatever disinformation means possible. America and like-minded nations are awakening to these new realities, and the paths they're electing to follow echo loudly, in most cases, the political foundations and moral imperatives upon which they were formed. As we march toward a future far different than ever imagined, T-Minus AI is fascinating and critically well-timed. It leaves the fiction behind, paints the alarming implications of AI for what they actually are, and calls for unified action to protect fundamental human rights and dignities for all.
