ISBN: 0316581291 | EAN: 9780316581295

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 288

Annotation: "As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen--usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution. The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI."--Provided by publisher.

Features: Bibliography, Price on Product | Pages: 320

Annotation: "In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z's mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad, and fearful of growing up. What's gone wrong with America's youth? In Bad Therapy, ... Shrier argues that the problem isn't the kids--it's the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers, and young people, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline, and even talk to our kids"--

Circle of Hope: A Reckoning with Love, Power, and Justice in an American Church

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Author: Griswold, Eliza

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Date Published: 08-2024

ISBN: 0374601682 | EAN: 9780374601683

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Dust Cover, Price on Product | Pages: 352

Annotation: "Americans have been leaving their churches. Some drift away. Some stay home. And some have been searching for--and finding--more authentic ways to find and follow Jesus. This is the story of one such 'radical outpost of Jesus followers, ' dedicated to service, the Sermon on the Mount, and working toward justice for all in this life, not just salvation for some in the next. Part of a little-known yet influential movement at the edge of American evangelicalism, Philadelphia's Circle of Hope grew for forty years, planted four congregations, ... found itself in crisis, [and ultimately disbanded]. The story that follows is an American allegory full of questions with urgent relevance for so many of us, not just the faithful: How do we commit to one another and our better selves in a fracturing world? Where does power live? Can it be shared? How do we make 'the least of these' welcome?"--

Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation

BasicBinding: Paperback

Author: Federici, Silvia

Publisher: Autonomedia

Date Published: 09-2004

ISBN: 1570270597 | EAN: 9781570270598

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Bibliography, Illustrated, Index, Table of Contents | Pages: 285

Annotation: Literary Nonfiction. CALIBAN AND THE WITCH is a history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch-hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the battle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization.

"It is both a passionate work of memory recovered and a hammer of humanity's agenda."--Peter Linebaugh, author of The London Hanged
