Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Tinnitus can be a terrible affliction, both for the individual, and also for friends and family,and many people with tinnitus are currently left to fend for themselves.Despite this, prospects for recovery have never been better, based on recent advances inpsychology, auditory neuroscience and medicine. Tinnitus (colloquially known as ringing inthe ears) is common, affecting some five percent of people. Hyperacusis, orhypersensitivity of hearing, is commonly associated with troublesome tinnitus. However,these basic definitions give no idea of the individual, even idiosyncratic nature of bothdisorders, which can be profoundly affected by someone's personality and psychologicalstate. While this may complicate medical treatment, it does mean that self-helptechniques can often be effective in minimizing the distress caused by these disorders,which can range from lack of sleep and irritability, to loss of concentration and confidence.The latest edition of Living with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis looks at strategies for living withtinnitus and hyperacusis, and includes a complete program for recovery. It featuresthe latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and medicine to offer a fulloverview of the causes, impact, and most effective treatments available. It has practicaladvice on relaxation and sound therapy as well as insights into relieving the stress oftinnitus and hyperacusis. It also contains advice on misophonia and related disorders.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We are living through a period of cultural climate change. We have outsourced morality to the markets on the one hand, and the state on the other. The markets have brought wealth to many, and the state has done much to contain the worst excesses of inequality, but neither is capable of bearing the moral weight of showing us how to live. This has had a profound impact on society and the way in which we interact with each other. Traditional values no longer hold, yet recent political swings show that modern ideals of tolerance have left many feeling rudderless and adrift. In this environment we see things fall apart in unexpected ways - toxic public discourse makes true societal progress almost unattainable, a more divisive society is fuelled by identity politics and extremism, and the rise of a victimhood mentality calls for 'safe spaces' but stifles debate. The influence of social media seems all-pervading and the breakdown of the family is only one result of the loss of social capital. Many fear what the future may hold. Delivering a devastatingly insightful critique of our modern condition, and assessing its roots and causes from the ancient Greeks through the Reformation and Enlightenment to the present day, Sacks argues that there is no liberty without morality, and no freedom without responsibility. If we care about the future of western civilisation, all of us must play our part in rebuilding our common moral foundation. Then we will discover afresh the life-transforming and counterintuitive truths that a nation is strong when it cares for the weak, and rich when it cares for the poor. Here is an inspiring vision of a world in which we can all find our place, and face the future without fear.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The best up-to-date, go-to book on the social and economic implications of artificial intelligence - Tyler Cowen'Rule of the Robots explores the future implications of artificial intelligence as a uniquely scalable and potentially disruptive technology.In this sequel to his prescient New York Times bestseller Rise of the Robots, Martin Ford presents us with a striking vision of the very near future. He argues that AI is a uniquely powerful technology, a kind of 'electricity of intelligence' that is altering every dimension of human life, often for the better with advanced science being done by machines who can solve problems humans can not. AI has the potential to help us fight climate change or the next pandemic, but it also has a capacity for profound harm. Deep fakes-AI-generated audio or video of events that never happened-are poised to cause havoc throughout society. AI empowers authoritarian regimes like China with unprecedented mechanisms for social control. And AI can be deeply biased, learning bigoted attitudes from the data used to train algorithms and perpetuating them. Hard-hitting and thought-provoking, covering everything from self-driving cars to the history of deep learning to apps for diagnosing skin cancer, Rule of the Robots challenges our fears and preconceptions about artificial intelligence. Ford argues that AI is here to stay and the real question is not how to stop it, but how to control its negative potential and harness its power for good as AI transforms our economy, our politics, and our lives.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As Prince William, founder of The Earthshot Prize, said, 'The Earth is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet, or we remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability to lead, innovate, and problem-solve. People can achieve great things. The next ten years present us with one of our greatest tests - a decade of action to repair the Earth.'The Earthshot concept is simple: Urgency + Optimism = Action.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It opens in the Christian medieval world at a time when science was trapped in a thicket of theology, metaphysics and mysticism, Enter William of Occam, Born in 1285, he was given to the Franciscans as a child, and sent to Oxford to study theology where his lectures and debates became notorious due to his insistence that science and religion were incompatible, his disproving of all the standard proofs of God, and his determination to discard all but the simplest explanations of any phenomenon: Occam's razor,This book brings alive this fascinating but virtually unknown figure, together with the tumultuous world in which he found himself, Meticulously researched, it also includes accounts of Occam's clash with the Pope and flight from Avignon translated for the first time from the Latin text of contemporary Vatican documents,However, this isn't just a book about Occam, for Life is Simple's thesis is that all modern science, indeed much of what we call modernity, is derived from Occam's razor's preference for simplicity, From Occam the book follows the razor's path as it was wielded by all of the giants of modern science, from Copernicus to Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Mendel, Darwin, Einstein (who wrote that 'the grand aim of all science [is] to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest possible number of hypotheses or axioms') or James Watson, who co-discovered of the double helix ('we were convinced that the truth, once found, would be simple as well as pretty'),In the course of the journey the author takes us on, he makes a compelling case for his claim that simplicity is the only principle that distinguishes science from magic, philosophy, mysticism, theology or pseudoscience, Given a choice, science always opts for the simplest solution that works, Yet although nearly all modern scientists accept the principle, few are aware they do so,Life is Simple is not only a history of science and an exploration of the most exciting areas of modern science, but it is also a history of the ideas that revolutionised the modern world, Additionally, it provides a fresh perspective on what science is really about a story as relevant today as in the medieval world.
