Professor Dhar lived through the invention of AI algorithms and their various permutations until today. He brought AI to Wall Street in the 90s and was the first to teach AI at NYU Stern. Through his story and the lessons that it reveals, we learn about AI’s progress and reversals, its promises and dangers, and what we need to address before the machine gets away from us. Thinking with Machines is essential reading for AI enthusiasts and learners at all levels seeking knowledge on the greatest technological advancement of our time.

How did artificial intelligence become the most powerful technology on the planet?Sometime in the future the intelligence of machines will exceed that of human brain power. So are we on the edge of an AI-pocalypse, with superintelligent devices superseding humanity, as predicted by Stephen Hawking? Or will this herald a kind of Utopia, with machines doing a far better job at complex tasks than us? You might not realize it, but you interact with AIs every day. They route your phone calls, approve your credit card transactions and help your doctor interpret results. Driverless cars will soon be on the roads with a decision-making computer in charge. But how do machines actually think and learn? In Machines That Think, AI experts and New Scientist explore how artificial intelligence helps us understand human intelligence, machines that compose music and write stories - and ask if AI is really a threat.

The classic book on systems thinking, with more than half a million copies sold worldwide!This is a fabulous book. This book opened my mind and reshaped the way I think about investing. ForbesPerfect for fans of Kate Raworth, Rutger Bregman and Daniel Kahneman!The co-author of the international best-selling book Limits to Growth, Donella Meadows is widely regarded as a pioneer in the environmental movement and one of the world''s foremost systems analysts . Her posthumously published Thinking in Systems, is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. This essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills critical for 21st-century life.Some of the biggest problems facing the world―war, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation―are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous impact.While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner.No matter what industry or career you’re in, Thinking In Systems will bring clarity to the complicated, crowded and interdependent networks that make up the world today. Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions.

Translated by Antony M. Ludovici. With an Introduction by Ray Furness.The three works in this collection, all dating from Nietzsche''s last lucid months, show him at his most stimulating and controversial: the portentous utterances of the prophet (together with the ill-defined figure of the Ãœbermensch) are forsaken, as wit, exuberance and dazzling insights predominate, forcing the reader to face unpalatable insights and to rethink every commonly accepted ''truth''. Thinking with Nietzsche, in Jaspers'' words, means holding one''s own against him, and we are indeed refreshed and challenged by the vortex of his thoughts, by concepts which test and probe.In The Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, and Ecce Homo Nietzsche writes at breakneck speed of his provenance, his adversaries and his hopes for mankind; the books are largely epigrammatic and aphoristic, allowing this poet-philosopher to bewilder and fascinate us with their strangeness and their daring. He who fights with monsters, Nietzsche once told us, should look to it that he himself does not become one, and when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Reader, beware.

''Uncannily accurate ... a total page-turner.'' ED MILIBAND 3 May 2015: ''Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband'' David Cameron7 May 2015: David Cameron (Conservative) defeats Ed Miliband (Labour) in the United Kingdom general election, winning by 330 seats to 232. As Mr Cameron predicted, the following years for the UK were a period of incredible stability, growth and common-sense thinking, with very little bad news to report. Mr Miliband was not so lucky.In Chaos With Ed Miliband, we follow the main news stories and issues that have arisen since that election, in stark contrast to the turmoil, hardship, and downright anarchy that has occurred in Ed''s life. From returning his overdue books to the library (£1.22 fine, paid in full), to drinking an espresso at 9.39pm at a dinner party to be polite (he was still awake at 2.13am), and visiting three different branches of Waitrose to find the right type of balsamic for his favourite niçoise dressing, I''m sure you''ll agree, we can all be very thankful that Mr Cameron helped secure this period of stability and rock-solid government, and that we were all spared from what can only be described as chaos with Ed Miliband...

A witty, moving philosophical novel, Jack Kerouac''s The Dharma Bums is a journey of self-discovery through the lens of Zen Buddhist thought. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Ann Douglas.Following the explosive energy of On the Road, the book that put the Beat Genration on the literary map - and Jack Kerouac on the bestseller list - comes The Dharma Bums, in which Kerouac charts the spiritual quest of a group of friends in search of Dharma, or Truth. Ray Smith and his friend Japhy, along with Morley the yodeller, head off into the high Sierras to seek the lesson of solitude and experience the Zen way of life. But in wildly Bohemian San Francisco, with its poetry jam sessions, marathon drinking bouts and experiments in ''yabyum'', they find the ascetic route distinctly hard to follow.Jack Kerouac (1922-69) was an American novelist, poet, artist and part of the Beat Generation. His first published novel, The Town and the City, appeared in 1950, but it was On the Road, published in 1957, that made Kerouac famous. Publication of his many other books followed, among them The Subterraneans, Big Sur, and The Dharma Bums. Kerouac died in Florida at the age of forty-seven.If you enjoyed The Dharma Bums, you might like Kerouac''s On the Road, also available in Penguin Classics.''A vivid evocation of part of our time''New York Post''A descriptive excitement unmatched since the days of Thomas Wolfe''The New York Times Book Review

S Pokladnicí Dharmy bereme do rukou dnes již klasické dílo novodobé buddhistické literatury a skutečný klenot, který by žádný čtenář s vážným zájmem o cestu nejen tibetského buddhismu neměl přehlédnout. Kniha obsahuje esenci veškerých Buddhových Učení a jádro celé cesty. Jeden z nejvýznamnějších mistrů buddhistické meditace naší doby, ctihodný Geše Rabten Rinpoče, se při výkladu této cesty opírá o své vlastní zkušenosti a jasným a praktickým způsobem zpřístupňuje čtenáři buddhistické smýšlení a cvičení. Geše Rabten Rinpoče, který se narodil v roce 1920 v Tibetu, byl plně kvalifikovaným mistrem meditace, jedním z bývalých filozofických asistentů Jeho Svatosti Dalajlamy a autorem mnoha důležitých knih o Dharmě.Byl také zakladatelem několika věhlasných center studií tibetského buddhismu v Evropě, např. Rabten Čoelingu ve Švýcarsku, Taši Rabtenu v Rakousku, Ghe Phel Lingu v Itálii a Tibetského centra v Hamburgu.Kniha "Pokladnice Dharmy" nám ukazuje, že Buddhova Učení opravdu jsou vzácný a nesmírně cenný poklad, který - jestliže člověk dokáže rozpoznat jeho hodnotu a umí ho obratně používat - nejen naplňuje dočasné potřeby, ale stává se příčinou dosažení trvalého štěstí.Jestliže v kontinuu naší mysli silně převládají faktory jako nevědomost, egoismus, chtivost, nenávist, pýcha, žárlivost apod., namísto míru a štěstí budou následkem těchto stavů mysli nekonečné problémy a utrpení, pro nás i pro ostatní. Pokud jsou naopak v naší mysli silně a pevně přítomny vlastnosti jako malé tužby, umění být spokojeni, altruismus, trpělivost, láska, soucit, moudrost apod., pak se dokonce i negativní podmínky promění v příznivé faktory.Vady v mysli, bez ohledu na to, jak velké a silné nám mohou připadat, nejsou v přirozenosti mysli samotné, a lze je proto úplně vymýtit, a bez ohledu na to, jak slabé mohou pozitivní kvality mysli být, s pomocí adekvátních metod je lze nekonečně rozvíjet.Bezchybné metody umožňující dosažení obou cílů jsou esencí učení Osvíceného a obsahem této knihy.

Our unhealed psychological wounds block our innate expressions of wisdom and compassion, setting the stage for ongoing conflict, division, and stress. Our fate, both individual and collective, lies in our capacity to heal—and healing starts with knowing the power, resilience, and essential goodness of our compassionate hearts. In The Dharma of Healing, Justin Michelson walks readers through an ingeniously simple approach to self-healing using the power of compassion. Step-by-step, he shows how compassion, when carefully cultivated, carries the greatest power to heal and transform.Rooted in the ancient and proven wisdom tradition of Buddhism but written for the modern seeker, The Dharma of Healing is an essential guide for anyone who longs for inner peace in a world that is anything but peaceful. Michelson synergizes psychological and spiritual principles to present a clear path to freedom and provides dozens of guided audio meditations that empower readers to walk the path themselves. Whether you’re just starting a healing journey or spiritual practice, or you’ve been walking the path for decades, this book will meet you right where you are and take you as far as you’re ready to go.

''A terrific book - essential reading for everyone seeking to make sense of Artificial Intelligence'' Professor Sir Adrian Smith, Director and Chief Executive of the Alan Turing InstituteIn this myth-busting guide to AI past and present, one of the world''s leading researchers shows why our fears for the future are misplaced.The ultimate dream of AI is to build machines that are like us: conscious and self-aware. While this remains a remote possibility, rapid progress in AI is already transforming our world. Yet the public debate is still largely centred on unlikely prospects, from sentient machines to dystopian robot takeovers.In this lively and clear-headed guide, Michael Wooldridge challenges the prevailing narrative, revealing how the hype distracts us from both the more immediate risks that this technology poses - from algorithmic bias to fake news - and the true life-changing potential of the field. The Road to Conscious Machines elucidates the discoveries of AI''s greatest pioneers from Alan Turing to Demis Hassabis, and what today''s researchers actually think and do.''Nobody understands the past, the present, the promise and the peril of this new technology better than Michael Wooldridge. The definitive account'' Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist''Effortlessly readable. The perfect guide to the history and future of AI'' Tom Chivers, author of The AI Does Not Hate You

In turn hilarious and also horrifying, Machida''s pyrotechnic prose plumbs the discursive depths of the creative spirit, a head-spinning survey of degeneration and self-sabotage.
