A "Persistent Problems" Analysis

Sport and Physical Activity in Human History

"The dynamics of communication and persuasion are overwhelmingly carried by what is said, how arguments are framed, and how factual information is 'spun.' In this timely volume the authors, all leading experts in their respective fields, examine this all important topic of human interaction. A must read for all those with an interest in the processes of social influence and in the secrets of effectively 'saying things with words." - Arie W. Kruglanski, Ph.D., University of Maryland, USA
"This groundbreaking book not only illuminates the discourse of politics but also contributes importantly to research on the cognitive and rhetorical functions of metaphor and narrative more generally." -David Herman, Ph.D., Durham University, UK
"Warring With Words gives a fascinating overview over recent research on metaphor and　narrative in　political　rhetoric and thought. By illustrating the impact of　these two levels of　rhetoric　on current international political discourse as　well　as　on theories of statehood, sovereignty, international relations and　conflict,　the book shows that conceptualisation of and communication about political issues is impossible　without　metaphor and　narrative. By exploring　their epistemological, historical and cognitive dimensions, the volume　provides an indispensable platform for further research and academic teaching on Language and Politics." -Andreas Musolff, Ph.D., University of East Anglia, UK

"Rooted in a clear understanding of how systemic racism and oppression impacts one’s ability to prioritize and implement self-care, this book is a tremendous resource for early childhood professionals, and for anyone who wants to learn about self-care from a culturally responsive perspective. The accessible writing helps the reader understand and make personal and professional connections to very complex topics, and highlights culturally diverse self-care practices that the reader can explore to find what works for them. This book should be required reading for all early childhood professionals, because as the authors remind us, self-care is truly the foundation of equity in early childhood education."

Takiema Bunche Smith, MPA, MS Ed, Executive Director at the Center on Culture, Race and Equity at Bank Street College
"Caring for the self is the core requirement for caring for young children with love and grace. The authors of Culturally Responsive Self-Care Practices for Early Childhood Educators remind us what effective self-care and community wellness look like when grounded in a broader palette of cultural practices, traditions, and expressions. This guide is a must for making space for the care and feeding of the adults watching over our youngest minds. It honors authentic cultural expressions of wellness and self-care without othering, marginalizing, or stereotyping the different ways we take care of mind, body, and spirit."

The authors, friends from two powerful U.S. political families that have been intertwined for three generations, set out to write a quick guide showing how suffragists changed the country by securing women&#8217;s voting rights...The White authors do not shy away from addressing racism within the movement, highlighting Black suffragists and noting everyone&#8217;s race so that Whiteness is not the default. Each chapter title is a synopsis of a strategy (for example, &#8220;Tell Your Story,&#8221; &#8220;Engage a Wider Audience,&#8221; and &#8220;Recruit the Allies You Need&#8221;), and each chapter begins and ends with sage advice to readers about how to apply the successful tactics of the suffragists to today&#8217;s political struggles. The bright, clean layout and color scheme are visually enticing, making this an appealing manual for action. An outstanding and inspirational guide to women&#8217;s history for today&#8217;s political activists.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)This collaboration between friends Robb and Roberts (Suffragists in Washington, D.C.), both scions of political families, dually functions as a well-documented history of the suffrage movement in the U.S. as well as a practical manual for activism...By not shying away from discussions of racism, jail and torture, opposition, and infighting, this how-to guide shows that &#8220;women&#8217;s history is action packed,&#8221; and that the suffragists served as models for other activists to follow...the language is relatable, employing current vernacular and a conversational tone (&#8220;We&#8217;re looking at you, Philadelphia&#8221;), which makes for an inspiring read for aspiring activists.&#8212;Publishers Weekly Online (starred review)

"Calum Chace's "Two Singularities"―the arrival of superintelligent AI and the economic replacement of humans by machines on a global scale―are among the greatest challenges we face. This book is an excellent introduction to both. It is thoroughly researched and persuasive. Chace's principal argument seems to be correct: we need to prepare now for the economic singularity or face a serious disruption of our civilization."―Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science and Smith-Zadeh Professor in Engineering, University of California, Berkeley
"It’s a brilliantly lucid guide to the current state of Artificial intelligence and its possibilities and potential – including the likelihood that it will eliminate employment as we currently know it. What makes this a must-read is what comes next - this is no dystopian alarm but a clarion call to start to thinking about how to cope with this eventuality – and an intriguing　guide to some possible destinations. We should all be thinking about these potential problems right now – thankfully Calum has already provided an entertaining and thoughtful roadmap."―Mark Mardell, Presenter, BBC Radio Four　
"Provocative and timely: a highly readable, and well-informed, discussion of potential economic changes that we should be thinking hard about　now."　―Margaret Boden, Research Professor of Cognitive Science, Dept. of Informatics, University of Sussex
"Advancements in Artificial Intelligence will be of paramount importance in the years to come, not least in contributing to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, they will present serious socio-economic, ethical, and political challenges. For instance, AI-driven automation will profoundly disrupt the global workplace.
Calum Chace, as an extraordinary thinker and a story-teller, presents a thorough, yet easy-to-digest account of the most pressing issues surrounding Artificial Intelligence. Calum is a true master of presenting plausible scenarios, risk analyses, and creative solutions, which will certainly contribute towards our quest to build a safe, prosperous and happy future."―Irakli Beridze, Head, Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI)
"This book provides a valuable resource charting the history of AI and its current capabilities and limitations. Chace thoroughly explores the possible paths to Technological and Economic Singularity, describing a helpful range of scenarios to stimulate debate. He recognises the amazing potential of AI, but is wise to call for proactive planning to ensure a positive outcome."―Ray Eitel-Porter, Applied Intelligence Lead UK&I, Accenture
"This is the book I wish I had written. It provides a great introduction to AI, the problems and opportunities it will bring and challenges us all to engage proactively in the conversation we need to have about our future. As I say in all my talks if we don’t proactively change the conversation then we deserve a dystopian future. Let’s start the conversation about protopia and utopia... not just amongst the liberal intellectual elite but across society"―Shamus Rae, Head of Digital Disruption, KPMG
"Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities is an essential read for anyone concerned about our future wellbeing. Calum is an acknowledged expert on AI and his latest book should attract a very large audience."―Tim Pike, Economist
This is a complete guide for anyone wanting to understand AI and its impact on our future. As always Calum synthesises complex technical and philosophical concepts, and makes them wonderfully accessible. This book should be read by anyone interested in technology. Our existence is dependent upon all of us tackling the existential challenges that it raises.―Daniel Hulme, CEO, Satalia, Director of Business Analytics MSc, UCL
"If you are interested in the impact of AI and Automation on our futures, I strongly recommend that you read Calum Chace's new book　Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities. He has already written two very succesful books on the topic –　Surviving AI: The promise and peril of Artificial Intelligence　that came out in 2015 and　The Economic Singularity: Artificial Intelligence and the Death of Capitalis, published in 2016. This new book merges the two together with a wealth of new material. The writing style is very clear and entertaining, and Calum's knowledge of the field is truly remarkable. He really has his finger on the pulse of this very fast-moving area – fast moving because the changes are exponential. I very much doubt you could find a better and more well-informed presentation of this extremely important subject. Very highly recommended.　―Simon Thorpe, Director of the Brain & Cognition Research Centre and the Toulouse Mind & Brain Institute
"Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities　is an intelligent and provocative glimpse across the event-horizons that may soon face us. It’s a must read both for anyone in industry that is working with these technologies, as well as those who are curious about how we might design the future we want to have. For those of us already well read on the subject, it serves as a solid text-book as to the state of the issues; and a timely reminder that our opportunity to act is now."―Charles Radclyffe, Visiting Fellow, University of Bristol
"The ideas in this book are of vital importance to all our futures, and Calum has been thinking and writing about them for longer than most. Highly recommended."―Ben Goldsmith, Menhaden Capital PLC, London
