    Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order

    Dikke hardback in redelijk goede staat. Stofomslag ontbreekt. Incidenteel markeringen en aantekeningen. Lichte waterschade. Engelstalig. Prima leesexemplaar.

    From the international bestselling author of Principles and legendary investor Ray Dalio, who has spent half a century studying global markets, The Changing World Order examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes. A few years ago, renowned investor Ray Dalio began noticing a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn’t encountered before in his fifty-year career. They included large debts and zero or near-zero interest rates in the world’s three major reserve currencies; significant wealth, political and values divisions within countries; and emerging conflict between a rising world power (China) and the existing one (US). Seeking to explain the cause-effect relationships behind these conditions, he began a study of analogous historical times and discovered that such combinations of conditions were characteristic of periods of transition, such as the years between 1930 and 1945, in which wealth and power shifted in ways that reshaped the world order. Looking back across five hundred years of history and nine major empires - including the Dutch, the British and the American - The Changing World Order puts into perspective the cycles and forces that have driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history. Dalioreveals the timeless and universal dynamics that were behind these shifts, while also offering practical principles for policymakers, business leaders, investors and others operating in this environment.

    Het woordenboek van de skepticus

    Forse paperback in goede staat. Naam voorin. Snedes wat smoezelig.

    Het paranormale ontmaskerd in een vlot leesbaar boek Meer dan 400 definities en kritische artikels over bovennatuurlijke, paranormale, occulte en pseudowetenschappelijke onderwerpen Voor iedereen die beweringen en stellingen pas aanvaardt nadat ze de toets van wetenschappelijk onderzoek doorstaan hebben Handig als naslagwerk of spannend om in te grasduinen
    Het Woordenboek van de Skepticus staat boordevol definities en kritische artikels over bovennatuurlijke, paranormale, occulte en pseudowetenschappelijke onderwerpen. Een onontbeerlijk naslagwerk voor wie een kritisch geluid wil horen over een wereld die zelden kritiek duldt. Dit boek geeft een verhelderend antwoord op vragen als: Wat gebeurt er als je een déjà vu hebt? Vertellen de lijnen op je hand iets over je levensloop? Hoe werken aura's en chakra's? Bestaat het monster van Loch Ness? Vertellen astrologen, kaartleggers, grafologen en bioritme-grafieken iets over jezelf? Kun je genezen door acupunctuur, bachbloesems, chiropraktijk, osteopathie, homeopathie, reiki en feng shui? Hoe werkt cold reading? Wat kun je doen met aura's, chi, esp, indigokinderen, klopgeesten, zener-kaarten? Hebben we allemaal een zesde zintuig? Wat is creationisme, Intelligent Ontwerp, Scientology, wicca, reïncarnatie en stigma's? En hoe zit het precies met de Bermudadriehoek, graancirkels, Roswell, UFO's en andere buitenaardse wezens? Is de lijkwade van Turijn echt?

    How Smart Machines Think

    How Smart Machines Think

    Hardback met stofomslag in zeer goede staat. Stofomslag lichte gebruikssporen. Fris binnenwerk. Engelstalig.

    The future is here: Self-driving cars are on the streets, an algorithm gives you movie and TV recommendations, IBM's Watson triumphed on Jeopardy over puny human brains, computer programs can be trained to play Atari games. But how do all these things work? In this book, Sean Gerrish offers an engaging and accessible overview of the breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and machine learning that have made today's machines so smart.

    Gerrish outlines some of the key ideas that enable intelligent machines to perceive and interact with the world. He describes the software architecture that allows self-driving cars to stay on the road and to navigate crowded urban environments; the million-dollar Netflix competition for a better recommendation engine (which had an unexpected ending); and how programmers trained computers to perform certain behaviors by offering them treats, as if they were training a dog. He explains how artificial neural networks enable computers to perceive the world—and to play Atari video games better than humans. He explains Watson's famous victory on Jeopardy, and he looks at how computers play games, describing AlphaGo and Deep Blue, which beat reigning world champions at the strategy games of Go and chess. Computers have not yet mastered everything, however; Gerrish outlines the difficulties in creating intelligent agents that can successfully play video games like StarCraft that have evaded solution—at least for now.

    Gerrish weaves the stories behind these breakthroughs into the narrative, introducing readers to many of the researchers involved, and keeping technical details to a minimum. Science and technology buffs will find this book an essential guide to a future in which machines can outsmart people.

    Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism

    Engelstalige paperback, in zeer goede staat

    What I am seeking here is a better understanding of the contradictions of capital, not of capitalism. I want to know how the economic engine of capitalism works the way it does, and why it might stutter and stall and sometimes appear to be on the verge of collapse. I also want to show why this economic engine should be replaced, and with what. --from the Introduction
    To modern Western society, capitalism is the air we breathe, and most people rarely think to question it, for good or for ill. But knowing what makes capitalism work--and what makes it fail--is crucial to understanding its long-term health, and the vast implications for the global economy that go along with it.
    In Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism, the eminent scholar David Harvey, author of A Brief History of Neoliberalism, examines the internal contradictions within the flow of capital that have precipitated recent crises. He contends that while the contradictions have made capitalism flexible and resilient, they also contain the seeds of systemic catastrophe. Many of the contradictions are manageable, but some are fatal: the stress on endless compound growth, the necessity to exploit nature to its limits, and tendency toward universal alienation. Capitalism has always managed to extend the outer limits through spatial fixes, expanding the geography of the system to cover nations and people formerly outside of its range. Whether it can continue to expand is an open question, but Harvey thinks it unlikely in the medium term future: the limits cannot extend much further, and the recent financial crisis is a harbinger of this.
    David Harvey has long been recognized as one of the world s most acute critical analysts of the global capitalist system and the injustices that flow from it. In this book, he returns to the foundations of all of his work, dissecting and interrogating the fundamental illogic of our economic system, as well as giving us a look at how human societies are likely to evolve in a post-capitalist world.
