Growing knowledge of the genetic complexities of sexual determination is (slowly) changing the way the medical community treats intersex individuals, and in this audiobook, The New Science of Sex and Gender, we not only examine the latest studies in biology, medicine, and psychology but also, more importantly, their bearing on healthcare, identity, and access. ![]() English | 2019 |MP3|M4B | ASIN: B07QR7BZWF | Duration: 45:34 h | 1,22 GB Jeffrey C. Stewart / Narrated by Bill Andrew Quinn ![]() English | ASIN: B09GHFFM77 | 2021 | 9 hours and 40 minutes |MP3|M4B | 265 MB What do the world's best known, most dangerous, and most unexpected border conflicts mean for our changing international relationships? In The New Border Wars, border expert Klaus Dodds journeys into the geopolitical clashes of tomorrow in an eye-opening tour of border walls - literal and figurative - from the Gaza Strip to the space race. In the Himalayas, the Mediterranean, and elsewhere, the tension inherent to trying to divide the world into separate parcels has not gone away. ![]() English | 2018 | ASIN: B07C8G789N | 6 hours and 54 minutes |MP3|M4B | 189 MB In January 2015, Barbara Lipska - a leading expert on the neuroscience of mental illness - was diagnosed with melanoma that had spread to her brain. Within months, her frontal lobe, the seat of cognition, began shutting down. She descended into madness, exhibiting dementia- and schizophrenia-like symptoms that terrified her family and coworkers. But miraculously, just as her doctors figured out what was happening, the immunotherapy they had prescribed began to work. Just eight weeks after her nightmare began, Lipska returned to normal. With one difference: she remembered her brush with madness with exquisite clarity. ![]() English | ASIN: B09LFHWRQX | 2021 |MP3|M4B | ~18:04:00 | 512 MB Louis Cozolino, Stephen Bel Davies (Narrator), "The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy: Healing the Social Brain, 3rd Edition" ![]() English | ASIN: B09KT5PJ38 | 2021 | 8 hours and 29 minutes |MP3|M4B | 234 MB An examination of how Western visions of endless future growth have contributed to the global environmental crisis. For centuries, the West has produced stories about the future in which humans use advanced science and technology to transform the Earth. Michael Rawson uses a wide range of works that include Francis Bacon's New Atlantis and even the speculations of think tanks like the RAND Corporation to reveal the environmental paradox at the heart of these narratives: the single-minded expectation of unlimited growth on a finite planet. ![]() English | ASIN: B09M61NFLR | 2021 | 9 hours and 44 minutes |MP3|M4B | 268 MB What does it mean when a nation accustomed to moving begins to settle down, when political discord threatens unity, and when technology disrupts traditional ways of building communities? Is a shared soil enough to reinvigorate a national spirit? From the embattled newsrooms of small town newspapers to the pornography film sets of the Los Angeles basin, from the checkout lanes of Dollar General to the holy sites of Mormonism, from the nation's highest peaks to the razed remains of a cherished home, like a latter-day Woody Guthrie, Tom Zoellner takes to the highways and byways of a vast land in search of the soul of its people. By turns nostalgic and probing, incisive and enraged, Zoellner's reflections reveal a nation divided by faith, politics, and shifting economies, but - more importantly - one united by a shared sense of ownership in the common land. ![]() English | ASIN: B09LFW4QTK | 2021 |MP3|M4B | ~07:02:00 | 403 MB Matt Fortnow, QuHarrison Terry, Zac Aleman (Narrator), "The NFT Handbook: How to Create, Sell and Buy Non-Fungible Tokens" ![]() May 10, 2021 | ISBN: 9781664966369 | Language: English | File size: 48 MB |MP3|M4B | 1.7 Hours The beginning of the Sumerian Accounts of Anunnaki Legends is wanting, and the earliest lines preserved of the First Column open with the closing sentences of a speech, probably by the chief of the four creating deities, which are later referred to by name. In it, there is a reference to a future destruction of humanity. ![]() October 19, 2021 | ISBN: 9781666145588 | Language: English | File size: 279 MB |MP3|M4B | 10.2 Hours Futurists insist that AI will soon eclipse the capacities of the most gifted human mind. What hope do we have against superintelligent machines? But we aren't really on the path to developing intelligent machines. In fact, we don't even know where that path might be. Erik Larson takes us on a tour of the landscape of AI to show how far we are from superintelligence, and what it would take to get there. Ever since Alan Turing, AI enthusiasts have equated artificial intelligence with human intelligence. This is a profound mistake. AI works on inductive reasoning, crunching data sets to predict outcomes. But humans don't correlate data sets: we make conjectures informed by context and experience. Human intelligence is a web of best guesses, given what we know about the world. We haven't a clue how to program this kind of intuitive reasoning, known as abduction. Yet it is the heart of common sense. That's why Alexa can't understand what you are asking, and why AI can only take us so far. Larson argues that AI hype is both bad science and bad for science. A culture of invention thrives on exploring unknowns, not overselling existing methods. Inductive AI will continue to improve at narrow tasks, but if we want to make real progress, we will need to start by more fully appreciating the only true intelligence we know-our own. |
