Ecological Turn With Intelligence

~~59,54€~~ 53,59€ 10% OFF

 This book explores how the escalating environmental crises of our time — climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising ocean temperatures — are rooted in human behaviour and how they can be addressed through a unique convergence of science, technology, and global cooperation. The book argues that if our actions have caused these problems, our intellect and innovations, particularly in artificial intelligence, can also help solve them.Drawing from biological, psychological, social, and even spiritual perspectives, this interdisciplinary volume charts new paths toward sustainable living. It introduces the concept of eco-conscious AI: personal AI assistants designed to guide individuals toward environmentally responsible decisions. Also, highlighting practical frameworks like the circular economy and energy transition strategies.Contributions from a diverse group of international scholars across disciplines such as neuroscience, engineering, computer science, and social science reflect a shared urgency among the younger generation to act. Topics range from AI's role in health and energy behaviour, to global citizenship, environmental ethics, and soil regeneration.With a unique blend of global insight, technological innovation, and ethical inquiry, Ecological Turn with Intelligence offers a forward-looking roadmap for an intelligent response to today's most pressing ecological challenges.Contents: <ul><li>From Data to Wisdom: Hybrid Minds Advancing Sustainability (Gleb Vzorin)</li><li>Principles for Building Planet-Scale Eco-Conscious Personal AI Assistants (Yu Gu)</li><li>Walking, the Hidden Dimension in the Ecological Turn: Walk-Mate Avatar as an Interaction-Based Walking Assist System (Hirotaka Uchitomi, Dongxue Zhang, Yoshihiro Miyake)</li><li>How Can Eco-Conscious AI Help us Save Planet Earth?

Disrupted Balance - Society At Risk - Society At Risk

19,88€ + 10% CARD

 Human society is no stranger to catastrophe, but the challenges the world faces today — a ballooning population, intense global connectivity and the unquenchable thirst of human consumption — have synergised to make disruptions more frequent, intense and far reaching.Despite the complexity of these problems, the response should not be to give up and surrender to these forces, the crash can be avoided. Humanity does possess the scientific, technological and social knowledge to not just survive, but also to emerge from the tumult by being more resilient and sustainable societies. The most urgent question, therefore, is how can we act on this knowledge.This book brings together 12 esteemed authors from diverse fields ranging from geology to governance, who have come together to collectively issue a unifying clarion call to action.Published in collaboration with <a href=''www.paralimes.org/''>Institute Para Limes</a>.

Cultural Patterns And Neurocognitive Circuits Ii: East-West Connections - Eastwest Connections

82,15€ + 10% CARD

 The contents of this book continues the theme as in the previous volume on cultural patterns and cognitive patterns in the East and West, with special regard to those patterns which are determined by our natural-genetic endownments in contrast to those patterns which are influenced by our cultural (''East-West'') influences, and within this context a unique flavour is given to the ''good life'' aspects of adapting to this global community.The chapters written by leading neuroscientists, give an overarching picture from the elementary organisational principles of the human brain through the basic perceptual and motor functions of the brain to the highest levels of cognition, including aesthetical or moral judgments, with an eye on what can be called ''good life'' in both Eastern and Western cultures. A unique compilation of state-of-the-art overviews of how the human brain is organised and functions in order to achieve high level of social, moral or aesthetic thoughts across cultures.Published in collaboration with <a href=''www.paralimes.org/''>Institute Para Limes</a>.

Cultural Patterns And Neurocognitive Circuits: East-West Connections - EastȓWest Connections

90,10€ + 10% CARD

 Our age is characterized by global access to information, places and cultures: we can gain more and more knowledge about ''the others'': other people and their cultures by ''indirect knowledge'' — learning about them via the global information net assisted by electronic and other high-tech communication channels, as well as by ''direct knowledge'': personally visiting various parts of the world and meeting local people in their own natural and social environments.East and West, two major worlds of aspirations, cultures, world-views, theoretical and practical approaches to life and death, have come closer by personal experiences of both Westerners and Easterners. But do we really understand the similarities and differences between the cultural-cognitive-behavioural-emotional patterns of the East and the West, with special regard to their neurobiological underpinnings in the human brain?The contents of this book focus on cultural patterns and cognitive patterns in the East and West, with special regard to those patterns which are determined by our natural-genetic endownments in contrast to those patterns which are influenced by our cultural (''East-West'') influences, and within this context a unique flavour is given to the ''good life'' aspects of adapting to this global community.Published in collaboration with <a href=''www.paralimes.org/''>Institute Para Limes</a>.
