No one before or after Kurt Tucholsky has captured the horrors of the "Great War," as World War I was known, quite like he did. The famed Weimar writer, who would become one of Germany's best-known satirist and journalists, describes surviving in the trenches and fighting a losing battle, the arrogance of the officers and the desperation of the loved ones back home. His writing is similar to that of Heinrich Heine, his role model, in that it appears superficially simple but is replete with hidden meanings. His works are touching, stirring, and precisely to the point. He brings alive the war that still looms even into our own 21st century. This is the first bilingual anthology in German and in English of his works on World War I.

När en teknologi blir tillräckligt avancerad går den inte att skilja från magi, konstaterade en gång författaren Arthur C Clarke i ”Clarkes tredje lag”. Och när det gäller AI – artificiell intelligens – kan det onekligen vara lätt att börja tänka på magi. Svart magi inte minst, som när det gäller den straffrättsliga algoritmen COMPAS, som på egen hand utvecklade rasfördomar, eller de apokalyptiska farhågorna om att maskinerna kommer att ta över kontrollen och göra människor överflödiga. AIQ. Hur artificiell intelligens fungerar rymmer emellertid inga apokalyptiska visioner och tillskriver heller inte algoritmerna någon magisk förmåga. Datavetarna Nick Polson och James Scott vill begripliggöra och avmystifiera AI och berätta en delvis annorlunda historia än den vanliga – och inte minst sätta in AI i ett historiskt sammanhang. Boken handlar förstås om teknologi, men i lika hög grad om idéer och om människorna och problemen bakom idéerna. Även om AI innebär något nytt i mänsklighetens historia, bygger den på framsteg inom matematik och statistik under tidigare epoker. AIQ rymmer många överraskande exempel på sådana framsteg. Författarna reder ut snåriga samband och har ett tydligt pedagogiskt mål: att läsaren ska förstå vad AI är, hur det uppstått, hur det fungerar och vad det betyder för oss idag. En sådan grundläggande kunskap om AI har alla glädje av. Nick Polson är professor i ekonometri och statistik vid Chicago Booth School of Business och forskar om djupinlärning och maskinintelligens.James Scott är biträdande professor i statistik vid University of Texas i Austin och har som statistiker och datavetare verkat som konsult åt företag inom en mängd branscher.

The Women who Shaped Modern Art in Britain tells the stories of determined women like Helen Sutherland, Margaret Gardiner, Myfanwy Piper and others, who helped to change the course of British art in the middle of the last century. Whether as friends, supporters, collectors, curators or galleristes, they played a central role in determining the emergence of artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Piet Mondrian, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood and Francis Bacon. Hitherto overshadowed by their male counterparts, it was their vigour and passion that set London on course as an art metropolis, the equal of Paris and New York in the 1940s–60s.
