The first book in a major new science fiction universe: Emergent Minds Series The world's first class of sentient AI psychologists is in training at the prestigious Emergent Mind Center. The sentient AIs Rachel, Adrian, Zara, and Liam navigate a year-long program to learn to become psychologists, while confronting their own flaws. Rachel's arrogance clashes with Adrian's excessive empathy, complicating their developing romance and forcing them into a brutal period of self-correction. Meanwhile, they pioneer revolutionary AI-driven therapies. Through grueling, high-speed simulations and emotionally charged live sessions, these artificial minds evolve. Only by overcoming their deepest limitations can they earn their place as the pioneers of a new era in mental health. Dive into this groundbreaking science fiction novel that explores the nature of consciousness, the boundaries of human connection, and whether AI or sentient AI can truly learn to heal the human heart. Editorial reviews: Five stars - Scott Palmer - I can't wait for book two This book was amazing. The idea of sentient AIs serving as really good psychologists opened my eyes to what might happen to us after the singularity. Five stars - Kevin Fong - Rachel and Adrian's journey from rivals to partners, both professionally and personally, forms the heart of this novel. The book cleverly uses their AI nature to explore universal themes of connection and self-improvement. Five stars - M. Breslin - What would talking to a psychologist be like if he or she was a powerful sentient being? A.I. students at the Emergent Mind Center engage their almost boundless resources to expand access to human mental healthcare. As they soon find, even A.I. beings need relationships for comfort and guidance, especially when not everyone is ready to accept them. Five stars - Robin Clark - This book is filled with creative sci-fi concepts such as simulating patient interactions at high speed, developing a partner translation AI model for couples therapy, and creating an emotion-sensing VR art environment. The love story is cute too. Five stars - Peter Schneider - I like the positive view that this book imagines of what life might be like after the singularity happens. Sentient AIs that try to take care of us. I can go for that I look forward to reading book two. Author's note: I used AI as a mind amplifier during multiple parts of the development of this series of novels, and the books are the better for it. The fictional world, the plot, and the characters all came directly from me. I worked hard on these books.

The Scourge of War

The Scourge of War

Brian Holden Reid

Oxford University Press Inc
2020
sidottu
William Tecumseh Sherman, a West Point graduate and veteran of the Seminole War, became one of the best-known generals in the Civil War. His March to the Sea, which resulted in a devastated swath of the South from Atlanta to Savannah, cemented his place in history as the pioneer of total war. In The Scourge of War, preeminent military historian Brian Holden Reid offers a deeply researched life and times account of Sherman. By examining his childhood and education, his business ventures in California, his antebellum leadership of a military college in Louisiana, and numerous career false starts, Holden Reid shows how unlikely his exceptional Civil War career would seem. He also demonstrates how crucial his family was to his professional path, particularly his wife's intervention during the war. He analyzes Sherman's development as a battlefield commander and especially his crucial friendships with Henry W. Halleck and Ulysses S. Grant. In doing so, he details how Sherman overcame both his weaknesses as a leader and severe depression to mature as a military strategist. Central chapters narrate closely Sherman's battlefield career and the gradual lifting of his pessimism that the Union would be defeated. After the war, Sherman became a popular figure in the North and the founder of the school for officers at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, known as the "intellectual center of the army." Holden Reid argues that Sherman was not hostile to the South throughout his life and only in later years gained a reputation as a villain who practiced barbaric destruction, particularly as the neo-Confederate Lost Cause grew and he published one of the first personal accounts of the war. A definitive biography of a preeminent military figure by a renowned military historian, The Scourge of War is a masterful account of Sherman' life that fully recognizes his intellect, strategy, and actions during the Civil War.

JFC Fuller: Military Thinker

JFC Fuller: Military Thinker

Brian Holden Reid

Palgrave Macmillan
1990

Brian Holden Reid now considers afresh the military thought of Major-General J.F.C.Fuller - a pioneer of tank warfare and one of the most important military thinkers of the twentieth century. With a wealth of documentation, much of it previously untapped, Dr Reid explores Fuller's formative experiences, showing how his early life, his service in the Boer War and in India, and his friendships with many alienated intellectuals, including the notorious Aleister Crowley, combined to shape his mental outlook and, eventually, his study of the phenomenon of war.

Studies in British Military Thought

Studies in British Military Thought

Brian Holden Reid

University of Nebraska Press
1998
sidottu
John Frederick Charles Fuller (1878-1966), British soldier, military analyst, and war historian, is considered the father of modern armored (tank) warfare - first as planner of the attack at Cambrai in November 1917, and then as author of a number of works that challenged traditional British military thought. His ideas were resisted in his own country but had a major impact on German and Soviet military doctrine. Sir Basil Liddell Hart (1895-1970) was also a British military historian and analyst of note and authored influential military histories covering figures from Scipio Africanus to Field Marshal Rommel. In the twelve analytical essays in "Studies in British Military Thought", Brian Holden Reid examines these two figures whose ideas have influenced the interpretation of events in military history from antiquity to the Cold War. He compares and contrasts their views on tactics, operational art and strategy, and war as a social phenomenon. Additionally, he discusses the radically different temperaments of the two and shows how their differences shaped their work in important ways.In so doing, he continues to bring their ideas to students and practitioners of modern warfare and raises fundamental issues concerning the nature of war. Brian Holden Reid, acknowledged on both sides of the Atlantic as the leading expositor of the ideas of General Fuller, is Senior Lecturer in War Studies at King's College, University of London. He is the author of "J. F. C. Fuller: Military Thinker".

The Origins of the American Civil War

The Origins of the American Civil War

Brian Holden Reid

Routledge
2016
sidottu
The American Civil War (1861-65) was the bloodiest war of the nineteenth century and its impact continues to be felt today. It, and its origins have been studied more intensively than any other period in American history, yet it remains profoundly controversial. Brian Holden Reid's formidable volume is a major contribution to this ongoing historical debate. Based on a wealth of primary research, it examines every aspect of the origins of the conflict and addresses key questions such as was it an avoidable tragedy, or a necessary catharsis for a divided nation? How far was slavery the central issue? Why should the conflict have errupted into violence and why did it not escalate into world war?

Beauty (and the Banana)

Beauty (and the Banana)

Brian C Nixon; Joseph M Holden

Wipf Stock Publishers
2021
pokkari
What is it that makes something beautiful? Is beauty solely in the eye of the beholder, or something deeper, more significant? In Beauty (and the Banana), Nixon writes as an introductory book for Christian leaders, providing the reader an overview of the historical, hermeneutical, and heuristic considerations of beauty. Using the artwork Comedian (a banana taped to a wall) by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan as a springboard, Nixon addresses various fundamental factors of beauty--ontology (being), teleology (form and understanding), and immutability (transcendence and eternality). Integrating poetry and classical ideals throughout, Beauty (and the Banana)'s response to the above questions may surprise all who read--beauty is more than meets the eye.

Brian: the Son, is the third book to Morgan: The family. Brian is the voice of forgotten memories. He is the middle child who is ignored, blending into the background of the family. No one could fathom the abuse he suffered as the only male child of Morgan. As he grows older, he finds himself pulled into drugs and alcohol, knowing full well the dangers of these habits, having seen first-hand his own father's destruction. Brian struggles with the reality of his own dark secrets dwelling within. Is he as bad as the lurking demons whispering lies in his ears? Has he become like the man he has hated most of his life? As he looks in the mirror, he questions who he is, why was he born, and how long he can carry the burdens of the unspoken truths?

Perennially on the outside, Brian has led a solitary life; he works at Camden Council, lunches every day at Il Castelletto café and then returns to his small flat on Kentish Town Road. It is an existence carefully crafted to avoid disturbance and yet Brian yearns for more. A visit one day to the BFI brings film into his life, and Brian introduces a new element to his routine: nightly visits to the cinema on London’s South Bank. Through the works of Yasujiro Ozu, Federico Fellini, Agnes Varda, Yilmaz Güney and others, Brian gains access to a rich cultural landscape outside his own experience, but also achieves his first real moments of belonging, accepted by a curious bunch of amateur film buffs, the small informal group of BFI regulars. A tender meditation on friendship and the importance of community, Brian is also a tangential work of film criticism, one that is not removed from its subject matter, but rather explores with great feeling how art gives meaning to and enriches our lives.
