Twins Scarlett and Thomas have been learning about the Maya at school. They even had a go at making hot chocolate from cacao beans. When Grandad falls ill, the twins know what the perfect cure will be – hot chocolate! They nervously borrow Grandad’s time machine and travel back to the time of the Mayas. Scarlett pretends to be a god, and gets taken in by the royal family. Thomas is not quite so lucky, and ends up playing for his life in a brutal Mayan ball game. Watch out, Thomas, if you lose, you might be sacrificed to the gods! How far would you go to find the best hot chocolate?

A HUMAN-CENTERED APPROACH TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL ENSURE HUMAN CONTROL OVER POWERFUL AND HELPFUL FUTURE MOBILE DEVICES AND SERVICESResearchers, developers, business leaders, policy makers, and others are expanding the technology-centered scope of artificial intelligence (AI) to include human-centered AI (HCAI) ways of thinking. This expansion from an algorithm-focused view to embrace a human-centered perspective can shape the future of technology to better serve human needs. The remarkable progress in algorithms for machine and deep learning have opened the doors to new opportunities, and some dark possibilities.However, as many technology companies and thought leaders have said, the goal is not to replace people, but to empower them by making design choices that give humans control over technology. In Human-Centered AI, Professor Ben Shneiderman aims to produce an optimistic, realistic, guide to how artificial intelligence can be used to augment and enhance humans' lives. This

Models and Applications of Tourists' Travel Behavior provides an overview of all possible approaches to modeling tourists' travel behavior, helping readers decide which theoretical approach should be chosen depending on the available type of data. It focuses on the connection between traditional travel behavior theories and tourist studies and introduces specific tourist contexts in travel demand modelling. It goes beyond the theoretical background of tourist travel behavior modeling and offers a practical understanding for choosing the right model and sourcing the right data. The book begins with the role of transport in tourist' travel behavior, then employs a literature review to establish the necessary background on the topic. It then goes on to describe theoretical approaches, descriptive approaches, and statistical approaches for modelling. It discusses choice models based on both Stated Preference Data and Revealed Preference Data. It concludes with chapters on machine learning
