What Is AI?Why Will It Affect You?How Do You Survive and Thrive through the AI Revolution?Sensationalism about AI has reached new heights, and getting a useful understanding of it has never been more important. AI will extend and accelerate thinking, delivering unprecedented abundance. But it will also require us to navigate a path of challenges ranging from today's issues of bias, privacy, and explainability, to job displacement through automation, and a future coexistence with superintelligent machines. This book is the roadmap to that path. In clear, accessible, and engaging language, Scott explains AI for readers from all walks of life who are looking for the full picture of how AI is transforming the world.

The Law School Bible is for anyone who aspires to become a lawyer, but cannot pursue a traditional law school education. Most often, people abandon their dreams of becoming lawyers because of: * Work schedules that prevent them from attending classes on a regular basis * Family commitments that prevent them from attending out-of-town law schools * Tendency to perform poorly on standardized tests such as the LSAT * Low Grade Point Average (GPA) * Incomplete undergraduate credits. * Inability to secure financial resources * Unwillingness to amass enormous student loans As The Law School Bible shows, none of these barriers should end your dreams of entering the legal profession.
In this fresh and stimulating study, several of today's most provocative Reformed theologians combine efforts to work toward a better understanding of the Covenant.Steve Wilkins writes, "Covenant is the central teaching of the Word of God; it describes a relationship with the Triune God through Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son. To be in covenant is to be in real communion with God, attendant with real privileges and real blessings. It is to be brought into the circle of the eternal fellowship that has always existed between Father, Son, and Spirit. It is to be made partaker of the divine nature. It is to be beloved of the Father for the sake of His Son and is founded upon union with Christ."
Visible Saints is the story of colonial Connecticut in microcosm. Through seven generations, the village of West Haven struggled to win its freedom from New Haven. What it earned instead was a reputation as the problem child of the Puritan Order. In a sharply divided community of Puritan saints and Anglican dissenters, West Haven's curious blend of religion and politics proved to be an explosive mix that paved the road to Revolution. As a shoreline community with a front-row seat to the war, West Haven suffered a series of enemy assualts that changed the village forever. Visible Saints is a fascinating study of a unique Connecticut community that will be valued by students and general readers alike for its scholarship and as history well told. (257 pp. 68 illustrations, annotated, bibliography, and index). Winner of Connecticut Society of Genealogists' Best Book Award.
ible-reading is more of an art than a science. The Bible is a story, not a lexicon of systematic theological definitions. With this in mind, the Through New Eyes Bible Commentary Series builds on the foundational Biblical-theology work of James B. Jordan and other like-minded scholars in bringing you a set of commentaries that will help you read, teach and preach through the Bible while picking up on the rich symphonic themes and the literary symbolism of the Scriptures. Because they are written for thoughtful Christians without being overly academic, these commentaries will serve as valuable resources for family worship, Sunday school or Bible studies.
Peter Leithart's exposition of the first twelve chapters of the gospel of Matthew is an enlightening and encouraging work. As usual Dr. Leithart provides the best of contemporary scholarship, coupled with the insights of the great students of God's Word throughout history, resulting in a fresh perspective on the inspired text. This is a commentary that pastors will find extremely helpful in their studies, and laymen will enjoy reading as they seek to grow in their understanding of God's Word. Dr. Leithart has again accomplished something unique by writing both an insightful commentary as well as an inspiring devotional work.
With a revealing memoir and striking photographs, Peter J. Marchand reflects on the Beja nomads of the Red Sea Hills and contemplates the fate of nomadic peoples the world over, as population growth and economic forces chip away at the edges of indigenous cultures everywhere. "Little by little," he writes, these encroachments exact their toll on the voiceless and invisible, sapping the life of their culture like an ancient tree silently dying one root at a time." It is a regretable loss, Marchand suggests, as indigenous cultures preserve a rich store of ideas and values that might one day come to our rescue.
