Three of the world's most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society--and what this technology means for us all.An AI learned to win chess by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. Another AI discovered a new antibiotic by analyzing molecular properties human scientists did not understand. Now, AI-powered jets are defeating experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. AI is coming online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing reality. In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live. The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before. A "Top Ten Tech Books Of 2021" (Forbes) Wall Street Journal bestseller One of Newsweek'

Life on Our Dynamic Planet explores the forces that shape our world-from weather systems and seasons to the intricate dance between climate and life. The engaging text offers readers keys to understanding how the interaction between atmospheric dynamics, the energy we receive from the sun, ocean circulation, and Earth's yearly journey in the solar system create and maintain the environments we inhabit with millions of other living things. Through clear and approachable writing, it bridges the gap between everyday experience and the science behind weather, climate, and the living world. Answering and explaining everyday questions that pique readers' curiosity, the book explores a wide range of phenomena, from the formation of clouds, snow, and glaciers to the mechanisms behind hurricanes, droughts, and monsoons. It reveals the wonder of color, from rainbows to the patterns in flowers that are invisible to humans but act as bright UV road signs for pollinators. What makes the tropics war
