Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Trustworthy Internet of Things
by MohamedAbdel-Basset, Nour Moustafa, Hossam Hawash and Albert Y. Zomaya
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1839538023 | 445 pages | True PDF | 21.68 MB

A major challenge for machine learning solutions is that their efficiency in real-world applications is constrained by the current lack of ability of the machine to explain its decisions and activities to human users. Biases based on race, gender, age or location have been a long-standing risk in training AI models. Furthermore, AI model performance can degrade because production data differs from training data.
Explainable AI (XAI) is the practice of interpreting how and why a machine learning algorithm estimates its predictions. It can also help machine learning practitioners and data scientists understand and interpret a model's behaviour. XAI supports end-users to trust a model's auditability and the productive use of AI. It also mitigates AI compliance, legal, security and reputational risks.
Among these applications, the security of IoT infrastructures is vitally essential for improving trust in broad-scale applications such as smart healthcare, smart manufacturing, smart agriculture and smart transportation.
This comprehensive co-authored book offers a complete study of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for securing the Internet of things (IoT). The authors present innovative XAI solutions for securing IoT infrastructures against security attacks and privacy threats and cover advanced research topics including responsible security intelligence.
Providing a systematic and thorough overview of the field, this book will be a valuable resource for ICT researchers, AI and data science engineers, security analysts, undergraduate and graduate students and professionals who wish to gain a fundamental understanding of intelligent security solutions.

Extractivism Across Production and Social Reproduction: Classes of Labour in Rural Turkey
by Coşku Çelik
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9004714405 | 207 Pages | True PDF | 1.87 MB

This book examines the political economy of natural resource extraction in the Global South across production and social reproduction. Building on a fieldwork which stretched over six years, the book argues that natural resource extraction in the agrarian South is a multi-dimensional development strategy, whose holistic analysis necessitates attention to (i) the significance of the natural resource in question for macro development plans and global value chains, (ii) the formation of the classes of extractive labour across production and social reproduction, (iii) gender division of labour within rural extractive households and rural labour markets, and (iv) labour process and control strategies in the spheres of production and social reproduction.

Fantasies of Virtual Reality: Untangling Fiction, Fact, and Threat (Strong Ideas) by Marcus Carter, Ben Egliston
English | September 10, 2024 | ISBN: 0262549166 | 184 pages | MOBI | 1.28 Mb
The fantasies that underpin common perceptions of Virtual Reality-and what we need to know about VR's potential risks as well as its opportunities.

Virtual reality is the next new frontier for Silicon Valley. Mark Zuckerberg, who has overseen Meta's investment of billions into VR, pitches it as the next dominant computing paradigm. More than just a gaming technology, VR is top of mind for academics, tech reportage, and industry evangelists who all see the potential for VR to revolutionize fields such as education and health, as well as the way we work and communicate. But will VR achieve all this? In Fantasies of Virtual Reality, Marcus Carter and Ben Egliston strip bare the tech industry's vision of a future dominated by immersive VR experiences, challenging the utopian promises of this technology's potential.
Carter and Egliston offer a critical account of VR in a variety of contexts, from gaming to human resources to policing and the military. They argue that while VR does hold significant potential, the overhyped expectations surrounding it, from achieving true empathetic understanding to transforming traditional education and office work, are often overstated and fraught with issues of privacy, control, and exclusion. What's more, there is nothing truly virtual about virtual reality: VR is deeply entrenched in the material world, driven by tangible technological, economic, and social logics.
An accessible introduction to this emerging technology, Fantasies of Virtual Reality is essential reading for anyone interested in what VR can really do-and what is just plain fantasy.

Faulkner's Cartographies of Consciousness
by John Michael Corrigan
English | 2024 | ISBN: 100937785X | 246 Pages | PDF | 1.6 MB

William Faulkner continues to be an author who is widely read, studied, and admired. This book provides a new and interdisciplinary account of Faulkner's legacy, arguing that his fiction is just as relevant today as it was during his own time. Indeed, Faulkner's far-reaching critique of his Southern heritage speaks directly to the anti-racism discourse of our own time and engages the dire threat to subjecthood in a technologically saturated civilization. Combining literary critique with network and complexity science, this study offers a new reading of William Faulkner as a novelist for the information age. Over the course of his career, we find an artist struggling to articulate the threat to human wellbeing in rapidly scaling social systems and gradually developing a hard-won humanism that affirms the individual and interpersonal life as a source of novelty and social change.

Feet in the Clouds: 20th Anniversary Edition - A Tale of Fell-Running and Obsession by Richard Askwith
English | July 9, 2024 | ISBN: 0711291926 | 376 pages | PDF | 4.45 Mb
'A masterpiece'The Sunday Times

'The pure essence of trail running, infectious and captivating' Scott Jurek, bestselling author ofEat and Run
'One of the best books about the extremes of sporting endeavour that you will ever read'Independent on Sunday
Twenty years since it was first published,Feet in the Cloudsby Richard Askwith remains the definitive story of fell-running and a modern sports classic.
Richard Askwith's journey takes him into a world of forbidding rocky hills, horizontal rain, fear, exhaustion and stunning natural beauty, as well as one of the sport's purest and toughest challenges: the Bob Graham Round, running 42 Lake District peaks in 24 hours. Along the way, he encounters some of the most prodigious - and unsung - athletes that Britain has produced, such as Joss Naylor, who covered the equivalent of four Everests in a single run.
Gripping, funny and moving,Feet in the Cloudsis a story that any aspiring runner, endurance athlete or mountain-lover will understand well: of extremity, heroism and the experience of a lifetime. With a fully revised epilogue and an introduction from bestselling author Robert Macfarlane, this is a complete portrait of one of the few sports to have remained utterly true to its roots - in which the point is not fame or fortune but to run the ancient, wild landscape, and to be a hero, if at all, within one's own valley.

Fighting France
by Edith Wharton
English | October 20, 2024 | ISBN: 1843913453 | 123 Pages | epub | 1,52 MB

Opening in August 1914, as the onset of the First World War is announced to a sunlit Paris, Edith Wharton's chronicle of her experience of the front lines powerfully evokes a country and a way of life under threat. As nuanced in her observations of human behaviour as she is in her vivid depictions of French landscape and architecture, Wharton fully exploits her unique position as consort to Walter Barry, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris, which allows her unparalleled access to life in the trenches. Sensitive without sentimentality, Fighting France is nothing less than an inspirational testament to the strength of the human spirit at a time of the greatest adversity.

Finite and Locally Finite Groups By B. Hartley (auth.), B. Hartley, G. M. Seitz, A. V. Borovik, R. M. Bryant (eds.)
1995 | 458 Pages | ISBN: 9401041458 | PDF | 29 MB
This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Finite and Locally Finite Groups held in Istanbul, Turkey, 14-27 August 1994, at which there were about 90 participants from some 16 different countries. The ASI received generous financial support from the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO. INTRODUCTION A locally finite group is a group in which every finite set of elements is contained in a finite subgroup. The study of locally finite groups began with Schur's result that a periodic linear group is, in fact, locally finite. The simple locally finite groups are of particular interest. In view of the classification of the finite simple groups and advances in representation theory, it is natural to pursue classification theorems for simple locally finite groups. This was one of the central themes of the Istanbul conference and significant progress is reported herein. The theory of simple locally finite groups intersects many areas of group theory and representation theory, so this served as a focus for several articles in the volume. Every simple locally finite group has what is known as a Kegel cover. This is a collection of pairs {(G , Ni) liE I}, where I is an index set, each group Gi is finite, i Ni

Finnegans Wake (Alma Classics) by James Joyce
English | August 25, 2020 | ISBN: 9781847498007 | True EPUB | 672 pages | 5.3 MB
As he was finishing Finnegans Wake, Joyce proclaimed, "I have discovered I can do anything with language I want." Indeed, with his last book, which took him seventeen years to write, Joyce takes literary modernism to new territories by harvesting from as many as eighty different languages to create a wordscape that is both precise and impressionistic, a work that is intellectual, avant-garde, but also sad, funny, earthy and brimming with humanity.

This edition includes an introduction by Dr Sam Slote of Trinity College Dublin.

Forbidden Hollywood: The Pre-Code Era (1930-1934): When Sin Ruled the Movies (Turner Classic Movies) by Mark A. Vieira
English | April 2, 2019 | ISBN: 0762466774 | 256 pages | MOBI | 237 Mb
Filled with rare images and untold stories from filmmakers, exhibitors, and moviegoers, Forbidden Hollywood is the ultimate guide to a gloriously entertaining era when a lax code of censorship let sin rule the movies.

Forbidden Hollywood is a history of "pre-Code" like none other you will eavesdrop on production conferences, read nervous telegrams from executives to censors, and hear Americans argue about "immoral" movies. You will see decisions artfully wrought, so as to fool some of the people long enough to get films into theaters. You will read what theater managers thought of such craftiness, and hear from fans as they applauded creativity or condemned crassness. You will see how these films caused a grass-roots movement to gain control of Hollywood-and why they were "forbidden" for fifty years.
The book spotlights the twenty-two films that led to the strict new Code of 1934, including Red-Headed Woman, Call Her Savage, and She Done Him Wrong. You'll see Paul Muni shoot a path to power in the original Scarface; Barbara Stanwyck climb the corporate ladder on her own terms in Baby Face; and misfits seek revenge in Freaks.
More than 200 newly restored (and some never-before-published) photographs illustrate pivotal moments in the careers of Clara Bow, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, and Greta Garbo; and the pre-Code stardom of Claudette Colbert, Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich, James Cagney, and Mae West. This is the definitive portrait of an unforgettable era in filmmaking.

Tamara van Kessel, "Foreign Cultural Policy in the Interbellum: The Italian Dante Alighieri Society and the British Council Contesting the M"
English | ISBN: 9089648771 | 2016 | 256 pages | PDF | 1213 KB
This book considers the growing awareness in the wake of World War I that culture could play an effective political role in international relations. Tamara van Kessel shows how the British created the British Council in support of those cultural aims, which took on particular urgency in light of the rise of fascist dictatorships in Europe. Van Kessel focuses in particular on the activities of the British Council and the Italian Dante Alighieri Society in the Mediterranean area, where their respective country's strategic and ideological interests most evidently clashed.

Matthias Maass, "Foreign Policies and Diplomacies in Asia: Changes in Practice, Concepts, and Thinking in a Rising Region "
English | ISBN: 9089645403 | 2014 | 200 pages | PDF | 915 KB
This book offers a variety of perspectives on Asia's increasing diplomatic prowess, a phenomenon that has accompanied the region's rapid economic and political development. The editor divides the collection into three broad sections: One group of contributors investigates the regional and international implications of a rising Asia. Another questions whether "Asia" is a useful way to describe several distinct sub-regions. And a third group probes the regional foreign policies of key players across the continent. Together, these contributions point toward areas of potential conflict and collaboration, providing an invaluable resource for diplomats, policy makers, and scholars.

Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman
English | August 10, 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08FGV64B1 | 290 pages | MOBI | 0.75 Mb
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." -Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal
The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.
Nobody needs telling there isn't enough time. We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and "life hacks" to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on "getting everything done," Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we've come to think about time aren't inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we've made as individuals and as a society-and that we could do things differently.

Four Ways of Thinking: A Journey into Human Complexity by David Sumpter
English | August 27, 2024 | ISBN: 1250806267 | 320 pages | PDF | 15 Mb
Acclaimed mathematician David Sumpter shares practical and insightful solutions for navigating the chaos and complexity of our lives

What is the best way to think about the world? How often do we consider how our own thinking might impact the way we approach our daily decisions? Could it help or hinder our relationships, our careers, or even our health?
As acclaimed mathematician David Sumpter shows, thinking about thinking is something we rarely do, yet it is something science questions all the time. He has spent decades studying what we could all learn from the mindsets of scientists, and Four Ways of Thinking is the result. Here he reveals the four easily applied approaches to our problems: statistical, interactive, chaotic, and complex. Combining engaging personal experience with practical advice and inspiring tales of groundbreaking scientific pioneers (with a tiny bit of number crunching along the way), Sumpter shows how these tried and tested methods can help us with every conundrum, from how to bicker less with our partners to pitching to a tough crowd―and in doing so, change our lives.
