$.99 during the month of June!

Are AI robots and computers really going to take over the world?

Longtime artificial intelligence (AI) researcher and investor Steve Shwartz has grown frustrated with the fear-inducing hype around AI in popular culture and media. Yes, today’s AI systems are miracles of modern engineering, but no, humans do not have to fear robots seizing control or taking over all our jobs.

In this exploration of the fascinating and ever-changing landscape of artificial intelligence, Dr. Shwartz explains how AI works in simple terms. After reading this captivating book, you will understand

• the inner workings of today’s amazing AI technologies, including facial recognition, self-driving cars, machine translation, chatbots, deepfakes, and many others;
• why today’s artificial intelligence technology cannot evolve into the AI of science fiction lore;
• the crucial areas where we will need to adopt new laws and policies in order to counter threats to our safety and personal freedoms resulting from the use of AI.

So although we don’t have to worry about evil robots rising to power and turning us into pets—and we probably never will—artificial intelligence is here to stay, and we must learn to separate fact from fiction and embrace how this amazing technology enhances our world.

Hipatia de Alejandría

About : Hipatia de Alejandría by Laurel A. Rockefeller

“Cuando el mundo occidental cayó en la oscuridad, ella se atrevió a defender la Luz.

Nacida en 355 d.C., tras el reinado de Constantino, Hipatia de Alejandría vivía en un Imperio Romano colapsado, un mundo donde la obediencia a las autoridades religiosas venció a la ciencia, donde la razón y la lógica amenazaban el nuevo orden mundial. Era un mundo al borde de la Edad Oscura, un mundo que decidía la cuestión de la ciencia contra la religión, libertad contra la ortodoxia, tolerancia contra el odio.

Durante más de 40 años, Hipatia estuvo entre las edades oscuras y la luz de la filosofía clásica, las artes y las ciencias. Aunque ninguno de sus libros sobrevivió a la agresiva quema de libros de los fanáticos religiosos, su legado sigue siendo el de una de los mejores científicos de todos los tiempos.

Esta es su fascinante historia real.

I Once Was Lost, but Now I’m Found by Laura Koerber

About Featured Book: I Once Was Lost, but Now I'm Found by Laura Koerber

Against a background of small town political corruption, it took over a year of lawsuits, protests, assaults', and a nationwide campaign via Facebook to rescue 124 dogs from a failed sanctuary/hoarding situation–the largest dog rescue to succeed without support from local authorities. "
"The book is incredibly well-researched and intelligently considered, and the cruel treatment is contextualized not by anger, but by balanced collation of events, studies and dog behavioral training practices. This is an important book which needed to be written by a disciplined professional and an animal lover, both of which clearly apply to Laura. She is a very articulate and hard-working author, and the book is well written, whilst, vitally, she provides scanned evidence of all her claims about Markwell, eradicating any concerns of diligence on the part of the reader – this, I think, is instrumental not only in asserting the quality of an exposé, but also in the success of campaigns like that supported by this one."

The Obscured Journey by Jerald Albritton

About Featured Book: The Obscured Journey by Jerald Albritton

The human condition is one riddled with complexities about the path we yearn for, who we are and what we believe.
We have become so dogmatic in our own beliefs that when they don’t come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax; our journey can come crashing down with doubt, fear, and uncertainty. Many individuals think they know why they are doing what they do, where they will end up, or who they wish to be in 3 to 7 years until a catastrophic event called life occurs. We dream to live adventurously but the fear of change confines us to only existing, which is to survive in the fog of society thus creating a disoriented/invisible sensation. The unknown causes our thoughts to imprison us as we ponder if we will ever be content or if we will forever be in debt paying bills. We wonder about our next occupation or what comes after retirement. We worry about things we can’t control then suffer from anxiety. Our breath is limited by our determination and imagination yet those things we can take hold of.
We exclaim at times to be lost, but to be lost is to know where X marks the spot yet unclear on how to get there. So the question is:
What’s the Journey toward X?
This book is meant to help you not only choose your path, but how to choose it wisely and magnanimously.

The Growth Quotient by Subbarao Mukkavilli

About Featured Book: The Growth Quotient by Subbarao Mukkavilli

We often think that we need Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient to be successful. These two quotients were helpful until the last decade. But it is no longer the case in this era of the fourth industrial revolution.

The book explains the need to develop a strong Growth Quotient in this era of corona and age of robots. The growth quotient consists of four underlying quotients that a modern leader requires to progress the career:

1. Consciousness quotient (all about self)
2. Environmental quotient (ecosystem consisting of people around us, environment, market, trends, opportunities, threats and so on)
3. Digital quotient
4. Number quotient

To develop these four quotients, we need to adopt a growth mindset. We need to give up a few traits/habits and pick up some new characteristics.

We need to acquire:

1. Strong Ambition,
2. Right Belief system
3. Complete Clarity
4. Great Discipline

ABCDs, in short.

We need to drop:

1. Expectations
2. Fear factor
3. Greed
4. Hatred

EFGH, in short.

This book teaches how to accomplish all these. This book also introduces several time-tested and easy to implement methods and frameworks to

1. Build relations
2. Improve communication and presentation senses
3. Increase trust
4. Improve overall effectiveness

This book helps the readers to become leaders.

Hypatia of Alexandria

Hypatia of Alexandria by Laurel A. Rockefeller

As the Western world fell into darkness, she dared defend the light.

Born in 355 CE in the aftermath of Constantine’s reign, Hypatia of Alexandria lived in a collapsing Roman Empire – a world where obedience to religious authorities trumped science, where reason and logic threatened the new world order.

It was a world on the edge of the Dark Ages, a world deciding the question of science verses religion, freedom verses orthodoxy, tolerance verses hate. For over 40 years, Hypatia stood between the Dark Ages and the light of classical philosophy, arts, and sciences.

Though none of her books survived the aggressive book burning of religious zealots, her legacy remains that of one of the greatest scientists of all time. This is her fascinating true story.
