The second volume of Helen Forrester's powerful, painful and ultimately uplifting four-volume autobiography of her poverty-stricken childhood in Liverpool during the Depression.

Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min

Garry Kasparov's 1997 chess match against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue was a watershed moment in the history of technology. It was the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence: a machine capable of beating the reigning human champion at this most cerebral game. That moment was more than a century in the making, and in this breakthrough book, Kasparov reveals his astonishing side of the story for the first time. He describes how it felt to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent with the whole world watching, and recounts the history of machine intelligence through the microcosm of chess, considered by generations of scientific pioneers to be a key to unlocking the secrets of human and machine cognition. Kasparov uses his unrivaled experience to look into the future of intelligent machines and sees it bright with possibility. As many critics decry artificial intelligence as a menace, particularly to human jobs, Kasparov shows how humanity can rise to new heights with the help of our most extraordinary creations, rather than fear them. Deep Thinking is a tightly argued case for technological progress, from the man who stood at its precipice with his own career at stake. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Hieroglyphics and Other Essays

Arthur Machen was a hugely prolific essayist and journalist. In a career that spanned more than half a century, he wrote thousands of articles for such magazines and newspapers as the London Evening News, John O'London's Weekly, and the Independent. In these essays he articulates his distinctive mystical and religiously based outlook. Accusing science and rationalism of impoverishing the human imagination, he was an untiring defender of the essential mystery of the cosmos. In his literary criticism-embodied in the treatise Hieroglyphics (1902) and in many separate essays-Machen made a frequent discussion between mere "reading matter" and genuine literature. The former comprised mundane realism; the latter the world of romance, fantasy, and the supernatural. While being skeptical of spiritualist phenomena, he found in the work of Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blackwood, Walter de la Mare, and other writers a vital expression of the wonders and terrors that humanity encounters even in everyday life. This volume presents a robust selection of Machen's essays, detailing his philosophical and literary vision. It is a significant adjunct to his weird fiction, showing how the principles he outlined in his essays were applied to the supernatural tales he wrote over his lifetime. The volume has been edited by S. T. Joshi, a leading authority on Machen and the editor of Machen's colleced fiction as published by Hippocampus Press.

Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 596min

Garry Kasparov gives his first public account of his landmark 1997 chess match with the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue and explains why, 20 years later, he's become convinced that artificial intelligence is good for humans. In May 1997 the world watched as Garry Kasparov, the greatest chess player in the world, was defeated for the first time by the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue. It was a watershed moment in the history of technology: machine intelligence had arrived at the point where it could best human intellect. It wasn't a coincidence that Kasparov became the symbol of man's fight against the machines. Chess has long been the fulcrum in the development of machine intelligence; the hoax automaton 'The Turk' in the 18th century and Alan Turing's first chess program in 1952 were two early examples of the quest for machines to think like humans - a talent we measured by their ability to beat their creators at chess. As the preeminent chessmaster of the '80s and '90s, it was Kasparov's blessing and his curse to play against each generation's strongest computer champions, contributing to their development and advancing the field. Like all passionate competitors, Kasparov has taken his defeat and learned from it. He has devoted much energy to devising ways in which humans can partner with machines in order to produce results better than either can achieve alone. During the 20 years since playing Deep Blue, he's played both with and against machines, learning a great deal about our vital relationship with our most remarkable creations. Ultimately, he's become convinced that by embracing the competition between human and machine intelligence, we can spend less time worrying about being replaced and more thinking of new challenges to conquer. In this breakthrough book, Kasparov tells his side of the story of Deep Blue for the first time - what it was like to strategize against an implacable, untiring opponent, the mistakes he made and the re ungekürzt.

Voucher Wars: Waging the Legal Battle Over School Choice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min

Millions of American children are trapped in failing public schools because their parents lack the money to send them to private schools or move to better public-school districts. In Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, the most important education case since Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2002 opened the door for school vouchers and other forms of school choice. In Voucher Wars, Clint Bolick recounts the dramatic 12 year struggle to finally give families a choice in education. Because of the untiring work of Bolick, the man who began and nourished the legal battle for school choice, underprivileged children now have an opportunity for a better education. As the central figure in the legal battle over school choice, Bolick tells the story from the inside. Beginning the journey in Milwaukee with choice pioneer Polly Williams and going on to Maine, Vermont, Florida, and Ohio, he shares his personal insights, frustrations, and triumphs. Bolick also shows how the education establishment, particularly the teachers' unions, fights at every step against parental choice in education. In spite of the enormous power held by the opponents of school choice, Bolick and his colleagues triumphed. The battle for school choice isn't over, so Bolick provides a useful blueprint of the road ahead and describes how to apply the lessons learned from the past struggle. Supporters of school choice can take these lessons to heart as they face the challenges ahead. The freedom movement generally has a lot to learn from the school choice movement. The battle for school choice is a textbook example of how to reduce the power and scope of government. Bolick shows people who want to expand liberty how to do so, through not only words but also actions. Bolick's account of the school choice battle shows how confidence, determination, and perseverance can triumph in the end. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach.
