The quantum world obeys logic at odds with common sense intuition. This weirdness is directly displayed in recent experiments juggling with isolated atoms and photons. They are reviewed in this book, combining theoretical insight and experimental description, and providing useful illustrations for… Meer
In this wide-ranging and powerful book, Castells analyses the revolution in communication technologies and social media that has created a new communication system, mass self-communication. He argues that this has, in turn, transformed power relationships, the role of social movements, and their… Meer

This handbook presents an overview of the phenomenon of reference - the ability to refer to and pick out entities - which is an essential part of human language and cognition. Chapters offer a critical account of all aspects of reference, from the different types of referring expression to the… Meer
This book takes concepts developed by researchers in theoretical computer science and adapts and applies them to the study of natural language meaning. Summarizing over a decade of research, Chris Barker and Chung-chieh Shan put forward the Continuation Hypothesis: that the meaning of a natural… Meer
Every organism has visible, macroscopic traits that represented dramatic, transformative innovations when they first arose, changing not only organismal lifestyles, but also the future evolutionary path of life… Meer
The Nature of Complex Networks provides a systematic account of the statistical mechanics of complex networks and the different theoretical achievements in the field that are now finding strands in common. Meer
This book brings together and reviews different disciplinary approaches to digital information and communication systems across the social sciences. It synthesises the developments of the Internet Age, and the micro and macro consequences of these developments. Meer
Written on the occasion of copyright's 300th anniversary, John Tehranian's Infringement Nation presents an engaging and accessible analysis of the history and evolution of copyright law and its profound impact on the lives of ordinary individuals in the twenty-first century… Meer
Online and mobile technologies are profoundly influencing how we read and write, speak and listen, but not in the ways you might suppose. Always On draws upon a decade of research to reveal how instant messaging, cell phones, multitasking, Facebook, blogs, and internet search functions are reshaping… Meer
Moral Machines explores the development of computers and robots capable of making moral decisions. Why do we need them? Do we want computers and robots making moral decisions? And if we do, how can we make ethics computable?… Meer
The Handbook is a landmark in the dynamic and rapidly expanding field of Internet Studies, bringing together leading international scholars to strengthen research on how the Internet has been studied and the discipline's fundamental questions, and shape research, policy, and practice for the future. Meer
This book explores the idea that all of logic can be reduced to two very simple rules that are sensitive to logical polarity. The authors show that this idea has profound consequences for our understanding of the nature of human inferential capacities, and for some of the key issues in contemporary… Meer
The book focuses on molecular evolution and phylogenetics, dealing with the statistical methods of data analysis implemented in commonly-used computer software. Meer
Theoretical Ecology provides a succinct, up-to-date overview of the field set in the context of applications, thereby bridging the traditional division of theory and practice. It describes the recent advances in our understanding of how interacting populations of plants and animals change over time… Meer
Sharing knowledge in policing remains a significant challenge for police forces around the world. This unique book sets out the conceptual framework for knowledge management and explains how a greater understanding of the subject can help policing at an operational level… Meer
Making smaller and faster computers is one of the main goals of current technological progress, and is determined by the laws of physics. Quantum mechanics allows us to encode and manipulate information in ways much more efficient than with exisiting (classical) computers… Meer
Some cognitive scientists think the mind works like a computer, involving programs composed of abstract and arbitrary symbols. Others think cognition is embodied - based on perceptual and emotional experience… Meer
Een AI-book is niet een boek dat geschreven is door AI maar een boek dat verrijkt is met AI. Het maakt de inhoud van een boek interactief via WhatsApp, zodat je ermee kunt chatten. Zie het als een razend slimme assistent die het boek perfect begrijpt en er alles uit onthouden heeft. Jij kunt deze assistent alles vragen. Vraag bijvoorbeeld hoe je iets kunt toepassen op jouw persoonlijke situatie, om een korte samenvatting, of wat de belangrijkste inzichten zijn. AI-books zijn alleen te gebruiken via WhatsApp, je hoeft er geen aparte app voor te installeren.
