Thousands of miles apart, people look up at the night sky and use the same word to describe what they see.Listen to these English, Icelandic and Iranic words and you can hear echoes of one of the most extraordinary journeys in humanity's past. All three of these languages - and hundreds more - share a single ancient ancestor.Five millennia ago, in a mysterious Big Bang of its own, this proto tongue exploded, forming new worlds as it spread east and west. Today, nearly half of humanity speaks an Indo-European language. How did this happen?In Proto, acclaimed journalist Laura Spinney sets off to find out. With her we travel the length of the steppe, navigating the Caucasus, the Silk Roads and the Hindu Kush. We follow in the footsteps of nomads and monks, Amazon warriors and lion kings - the ancient peoples who spread these tongues far and wide.

Why you should worry less about AI and more about what makes us human

We are at a crossroads in history. If we hope to share our planet successfully with one another and the AI systems we are creating, we must reflect on who we are, how we got here, and where we are heading. The Importance of Being Educable puts forward a provocative new exploration of the extraordinary facility of humans to absorb and apply knowledge. The remarkable "educability" of the human brain can be understood as an information processing ability. It sets our species apart, enables the civilization we have, and gives us the power and potential to set our planet on a steady course. Yet it comes hand in hand with an insidious weakness. While we can readily absorb entire systems of thought about worlds of experience beyond our own, we struggle to judge correctly what information we should trust.

In this visionary book, Leslie Valiant argues that understanding the nature of our own educability is crucial to safeguarding our future. After breaking down how we process information to learn and apply knowledge, and drawing comparisons with other animals and AI systems, he explains why education should be humankind’s central preoccupation.

Will the unique capability that has been so foundational to our achievements and civilization continue to drive our progress, or will we fall victim to our vulnerabilities? If we want to play to our species’ great strength and protect our collective future, we must better understand and prioritize the vital importance of being educable. This book provides a road map.

A New Theory of Human Uniqueness

The Importance of Being Educable

Two hundred and fifty years. For a nation, a milestone. For a civilization, statistically, an obituary.Across three thousand years, the great powers have kept a strange and consistent appointment. Assyria. Persia. The Caliphate. The Ottomans. Spain. Britain. Empire after empire, every creed, every geography, every technology has lasted roughly ten generations and then expired. About two hundred and fifty years. The number does not bend for ideology. In 2026, the United States arrives precisely at that age.The coincidence is not the argument. The structure is.In The Continuation, Severino refuses both prophecy and panic. He forges the Index of Societal Survival, measuring Preservation, Sustainability, and Longevity into a working instrument and turns it on the most exhaustively documented death in history. Rome did not fall to barbarians. Its aqueducts did not collapse. They were abandoned; the maintenance simply stopped. What killed Romans is legible, measurable, and disturbingly familiar because the same instrument, turned on the present, returns a reading.But this is a diagnosis, not a death certificate. The pattern is not fate. It is vulnerability-one that can be named, scored, and, while the window remains open, answered. Continuation is always chosen. Or it isn't.The question of whether we are the exception begins on the anniversary that makes it unavoidable. You can enter the conversation now or after history has told you how it ends.Severino

Einführung

Frühe Neuzeit

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF AUGUST BY BARNES AND NOBLE AND KOBOA rollicking, enlightening examination of humanity's changing relationship to creativity, written from the perspectives of the Greek Muses.&nbsp; The thing that sets humans apart from other animals is our ability to create, to imagine how one thing could become something else. For millennia, art and science, fueled by creativity, have driven the advancement of civilization. From Socrates to Galileo to Ella Fitzgerald, so-called geniuses have left indelible marks on culture, but the creative's role in society is shifting. The artists and scientists who were once seen as bastions of innovation and enlightenment have been reduced to mere entertainment in the age of media and celebrity. This degradation of art is as harmful as it is boring, putting undue pressure on fallible individuals and eroding the magic of true creative expression. But if you know how to look for them, the powerful and (mostly) benevolent Greek Muses can be seen uplifting creativity as they inspire humanity's major inventions throughout history. In Mothers of Invention, the Greek Muses reveal how they meddled in mortal manners, from using astronomy to make sense of the universe to harnessing electricity to transform life on earth-and Olympus. They show the healing power of art through jazz, the equalizing power of science through healthcare, and the communing power of creativity when we broadcast our stories to the world. In sharing their perspectives on human history, the Muses offer insights into the origins of religion, democracy, and physics, providing a decidedly mythical birds-eye view of these monumental developments. The result is a compelling call to creative action, recognizing the power of collaboration and reframing what it really means when inspiration strikes. &nbsp;

A History of Creativity from the Greek Muses

Mothers of Invention

'Evocative, tender, terrifying . . . A celebration of love's persistence, a summoning of ancient lore. Superb' - Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies Exquisitely written and impossible to put down, The Hill in the Dark Grove is a haunting and sinister story embedded in Welsh folklore. Moving and chilling in equal measure, it is about a lost way of life and the terrifying lengths we go to to protect what we know. Carwyn and Rhian - the last in a long family line of sheep farmers - are living out a brutal year in their hillside farm, deep in the mountains of Eryri, North Wales. When Carwyn stumbles across a stone circle in one of the fields on their land, his curiosity quickly descends into obsession. His wife, Rhian, meanwhile, is confronted with the growing realization that the man with whom she shares her life and home is becoming a frightening stranger. As the harsh winter closes in, Rhian finds herself alone with her increasingly peculiar husband, the mountains and the looming megalithic stones . . .

The Hill in the Dark Grove

AN ORIGINAL RETELLING OF THE CLASSIC GREEK MYTH OF JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS FOR YOUNG READERS WITH A FRESH AND FUNNY TWIST, PERFECT FOR FANS OF LOKI AND DAVID SOLOMONS. "This witty, original, irreverent take on Greek myth will delight 8+ Loki fans" - THE GUARDIAN Meet Phoebe. She's eleven years old and desperate to escape the boring island where she lives. Enter the Argonauts - a crew of so-called heroes on a quest to grab the golden fleece. Before Phoebe can think better of it, she boards the ship and stows away on the Argo. But the Argonauts have their work cut out. From attacking harpies to deadly whirlpools, giant sea monsters to skeleton armies, there is peril at every turn. Fortunately the Othernauts are on hand - though with Phoebe's unhelpful prophecies, Perry's unreliable shape-shifting skills and Cora the siren's headache-inducing singing, it's not quite clear exactly how much help these kids will be . . . Do the Othernauts have what it takes to get the Argo and its motley crew back to safety in one piece? AN ANCIENT GREEK ODYSSEY TO CAPTURE THE LEGENDARY GOLDEN RUG, I MEAN, FLEECE - BUT NOT LIKE YOU'VE EVER HEARD IT BEFORE . . .

A laugh-out-loud ancient Greek adventure for kids!

The Othernauts

Campaign

An illustrated look at Ancient Egypt and one of the earliest recorded battles that put a stop to Ramesses II's drive into Syria. In c. 1286 BC, Ramesses II was pharaoh and commander of the Egyptian army. He led an expedition northwards from the eastern delta, through Palestine, and aimed for the city of Kadesh, which was currently in the hands of the Hittites. What Ramesses did not expect was that the Hittites' leader, King Muwatallis, was in the city, which made his plans much harder. Meeting in battle at the Orontes River in southern Syria, it was the largest clash of chariots ever seen. The Hittites proved to be formidable opponents, managing to slice through the second division of the Egyptian army with a targeted chariot attack. In the end, the Hittites were forced to retreat but the Egyptians also failed to capture Kadesh and had to withdraw out of Syria. In this detailed volume, Egyptologist Anthony Spalinger explores the history of the Egyptians and Hittites, looking at how they fought and how Kadesh came to be considered one of the most decisive battles of the ancient world. With stunning artwork, maps, diagrams and images of carvings from multiple temples, Ancient Egypt is brought to life, showcasing one of the earliest recorded set-piece battles.
