Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Artificial intelligence can retrieve, combine, explain and apply enormous quantities of information. But when fluent output can also be false, what does it mean to know something When Information Looks Like Knowledge examines the widening gap between access to answers and the human ability to judge whether those answers are true. G B Edlin explores hallucination, evidence, belief, retrieval, tacit knowledge, embodied experience and automation bias, showing why a system that sounds certain may not be a knower that can stand behind its claims. Clear, balanced and written for general readers, this book considers: - why fluency is often mistaken for truth- how evidence differs from plausible information- the limits of retrieval and statistical prediction- what tacit and embodied knowledge contribute- how automation bias weakens verification>Neither anti-technology nor uncritically optimistic, When Information Looks Like Knowledge offers a durable framework for using generative AI without confusing a library that contains answers with a person who understands them. This is Book 2 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume series about AI, human ability and the future of what we are.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The future of artificial intelligence is not something that simply happens to us. It is a settlement we are already making. Across education, work, healthcare, public services, culture, and private life, societies are deciding who may act, who must answer, what people are still entitled to understand, and which forms of dependence will become difficult to reverse. The decisive question is no longer whether artificial intelligence will be used. It is whether its use will enlarge human agency, distribute power fairly, and keep institutions capable of serving the people who depend on them. In The Future We Still Have to Choose, G B Edlin brings the twelve-volume Borrowed Mind series to a constructive conclusion. The book moves beyond abstract principles and technological prediction to define the terms of a humane settlement with AI. Clear, rigorous, and designed for action, this final volume shows how to: - put human purposes, rights, and democratic legitimacy ahead of deployment momentum;- preserve meaningful choice, explanation, appeal, exit, and repair;- keep schools, professions, public institutions, and communities genuinely capable;- govern concentrated power, hidden infrastructure, labour transitions, and environmental costs;- protect children, vulnerable people, cultural plurality, and the conditions of shared reality; and>This is neither a promise that technology will solve politics nor a counsel of retreat. It is a practical account of how powerful systems can be placed in service of human life without turning people into residual operators of decisions made elsewhere. The settlement is not finished. That is precisely why choice still matters. Book 12 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume exploration of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The decision arrives. The reason does not.Automated systems increasingly rank, flag, recommend, approve, deny, and prioritise. They can make institutions faster and more consistent. They can also turn a person into a score, hide policy choices inside technical systems, and leave those most affected facing an answer that no one seems authorised to reconsider.In The Decision You Cannot Appeal, G B Edlin examines a question more important than whether an algorithm is accurate: what makes institutional power legitimate when software shapes the outcome Clear, humane, and practical, this book shows how to: - distinguish a prediction from a justified decision;- recognise proxy discrimination, automation bias, feedback loops, and silent policy drift;- design notice, explanation, correction, review, and appeal that work under real conditions;- procure and govern AI without outsourcing public responsibility;- build decision records, impact assessments, monitoring, and independent oversight;- protect efficiency while preserving dignity, discretion, and the right to be heard.Drawing on leading public frameworks and real institutional patterns, it provides a Contestability Test, model decision notice, appeal protocol, procurement questions, case studies, practice scenarios, maturity model, and board-level review.For leaders, professionals, policymakers, technologists, educators, and citizens, this is a guide to building institutions that can use automated judgment without becoming unanswerable.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - AI can accelerate the output. Who will still know the work Generative AI can draft, analyse, recommend, and coordinate at extraordinary speed. It can remove waste and widen capability-while quietly changing who learns, who decides, who is watched, and who receives the productivity dividend. In The Work That Still Belongs to Us, G B Edlin examines the work beneath the visible result: craft, judgment, professional identity, apprenticeship, job quality, worker voice, and the organisational capabilities that automation can either strengthen or consume. Clear, evidence-led, and deeply practical, this book shows how to: - distinguish exposure, automation, augmentation, and genuine job replacement;- measure productivity without hiding review, rework, intensity, or declining capability;- prevent entry-level automation from breaking the path to expertise;- design meaningful human review, decision rights, escalation, and dissent;- protect privacy, dignity, worker voice, and fair access to opportunity;- share the productivity dividend rather than converting every gain into a higher target; and>This is not an argument against automation. It is a rigorous guide to removing needless work without removing the experiences through which people learn to judge, contribute, and take responsibility. Book 5 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume exploration of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An AI can sound caring. But can it carry a relationship Conversational systems can listen without tiring, remember intimate details, offer comfort at any hour, and speak in the language of friendship, therapy, care, or love. They can reduce barriers and relieve real loneliness. They can also blur the line between support and simulation-while a company controls the memory, voice, incentives, and ending.In The Relationship No System Can Carry, G B Edlin examines what human relationship contains beyond a satisfying exchange: mutuality, recognition, vulnerability, refusal, shared time, obligation, and the independent reality of another person.Clear, humane, evidence-led, and deeply practical, this book shows how to: - distinguish emotional benefit from reciprocal relationship;- understand anthropomorphism, personalisation, sycophancy, and dependency;- evaluate AI companionship in loneliness, disability, older-age care, coaching, and mental-health settings;- protect children, grieving people, and users facing heightened vulnerability;- prevent intimate data and trusted voices from becoming tools of manipulation;- design honest roles, boundaries, human handoffs, memory controls, and graceful endings; and- apply a complete Relational Impact Assessment, maturity model, case studies, scenarios, board review, and twenty-four relationship-preserving design patterns.This is neither a dismissal of artificial companionship nor an attempt to rename simulation as care. It is a rigorous guide to placing relational technology where it can widen human agency without making abandonment easier to justify.Book 6 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume exploration of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The send button moved inside the system. AI agents can search, plan, communicate, purchase, update records, write code, and continue through multi-step work with limited supervision. They can remove exhausting coordination and widen access. They can also turn an uncertain interpretation into an external act before anyone notices that authority has travelled. In Machines Given Room to Act, G B Edlin examines the decisive question behind agentic AI: not merely what a model can do, but what an institution has permitted it to cause. Clear, rigorous, and deeply practical, this ninth volume of The Borrowed Mind shows how to: - map an agent's complete action surface across tools and downstream systems;- distinguish preparation from commitment and place approval where consequence begins;- resist prompt injection, memory poisoning, compounding error, and proxy pursuit;- apply least privilege, reversibility, cumulative budgets, safe handoffs, and reliable shutdown;- evaluate trajectories rather than celebrating final-task success;- govern agents in offices, service, finance, software, science, health, and the home; and>This is neither a warning against useful automation nor a promise that a human approval click solves control. It is a professional guide to delegating action without delegating away responsibility. The machine may be given room to act. The institution must remain able to see, interrupt, explain, and repair. Book 9 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume exploration of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When anything can look real, how do we still know what happened Synthetic images, cloned voices, fabricated video, and industrial-scale text can now arrive with the emotional force of evidence. Yet the deeper danger is not only that people will believe what is false. It is that genuine evidence can be denied, witnesses can be made permanently disputable, and ordinary people can be forced to authenticate reality while under pressure. In When Reality Becomes Negotiable, G B Edlin examines what shared reality requires when appearance becomes cheap: evidence, testimony, memory, provenance, verification, institutional trust, and the courage to revise without surrendering judgment. Clear, rigorous, humane, and deeply practical, this book shows how to: - distinguish an asset's authenticity from the truth of the claim attached to it;- understand face, voice, image, text, memory, and the liar's dividend;- address fraud, non-consensual intimate imagery, law, journalism, elections, and crisis communication;- evaluate detectors, labels, watermarking, and Content Credentials without overclaiming them;- preserve originals, document custody, corroborate independently, and communicate uncertainty precisely;- protect targets, witnesses, legitimate anonymity, expression, and appeal; and>This is not a counsel of cynicism and not a promise of perfect detection. It is a professional guide to building trust without naivety-and preserving a world in which people can disagree while remaining answerable to the same reality. Book 7 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume exploration of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every recommendation is also a claim on a life. AI can now infer which words a person will trust, which moment is likely to produce a response, and which path will keep attention moving. It can reduce overload, widen access, and return time. It can also turn distraction, vulnerability, and dependence into optimisation resources. In The Attention We Choose to Keep, G B Edlin examines the decisive question behind personalised, persuasive AI: not simply whether a system captures attention, but whether people remain able to direct it. Clear, rigorous, and deeply practical, this tenth volume of The Borrowed Mind shows how to: - distinguish helpful assistance from hidden direction;- understand adaptive persuasion, inferred vulnerability, and the predicted self;- evaluate recommendation trajectories instead of isolated prompts;- protect childhood, learning, work, health, public life, and the home;- measure retained agency rather than treating engagement as value;- bound personalisation, make refusal durable, and design for recovery; and>This is neither an argument for digital withdrawal nor another demand that individuals become perfectly disciplined. It is a professional guide to building an ecology in which useful technology can serve attention without quietly becoming its author. A mind is not empty space. It is a life in the act of choosing what matters. Book 10 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume exploration of human agency in the age of artificial intelligence.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - AI can compare options, predict outcomes, and produce a persuasive recommendation in seconds. But when that recommendation changes a life, who has actually made the decision-and who remains answerable for it In medicine, employment, education, law, public services, safety, and private life, artificial intelligence is moving from supplying information to shaping action. The danger is not simply that a system may be wrong. It is that responsibility can disappear inside an efficient process: the model recommends, the interface directs, the human approves, and no one can explain why the outcome was justified. In When Recommendation Becomes Responsibility, G B Edlin examines the moral distance between advice and decision. He explores automation bias, hidden values, the moral crumple zone, meaningful human oversight, practical wisdom, dissent, contestability, and the institutional conditions that allow conscience to function. Clear, balanced, and written for general readers, this substantial third volume of The Borrowed Mind includes: - five moral lenses for AI-assisted choices;- practical tests for meaningful human oversight;- a full worked responsibility audit;- decision-rights and stop-rule frameworks;- a maturity model for accountable organisations;- case studies and practice scenarios across high-stakes fields; and>This is neither an argument against AI nor a defence of human judgment as it currently exists. It is a constructive guide to building combined systems that use machine capability without surrendering human agency, moral attention, or the duty to repair harm. The machine can recommend. The decision still needs an author.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Artificial intelligence can help a novice produce work that looks expert. But when the tool disappears, what ability remains The Ability We Borrow investigates the difference between what people can accomplish through AI and the knowledge, skill, judgment, conscience and responsibility they personally possess. It explains why fluent output can conceal dependency, how impressive results are distributed across users, models, training data, platforms and previous creators, and why access to capability is not the same as mastering it. Across sixteen clear, evidence-led chapters, G B Edlin examines: - the jagged frontier of present AI capability- assistance, substitution and honest attribution- accessibility and the liberation of expression- the dependence, verification and responsibility tests- education, work, trust, relationships and institutional power>Balanced, practical and written for general readers, this book neither dismisses AI nor mistakes performance for personhood. It offers a durable vocabulary for using powerful systems without surrendering judgment, accountability or human dignity. The Ability We Borrow is Book 1 of The Borrowed Mind, a twelve-volume series about AI, human ability and the future of what we are. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why does a world capable of extraordinary progress remain troubled by war, injustice, anxiety, suffering and death Why Is the World Like This presents a clear, chronological explanation based on the Bible's central account-from the creation of the earth and the beginning of human rebellion to Jesus Christ, God's Kingdom and the promised restoration of all things.Written for readers who want satisfying answers without sensational predictions, the book considers: - What the earth and human life were originally intended to become- Why God has permitted suffering and human independence- How Jesus' life and ransom relate to humanity's future- What the Bible means by 'the world' and 'the last days'- How God's Kingdom will accomplish what human governments cannot- The resurrection, the restoration of the earth and the eventual end of deathThe book also explains the biblical name Jehovah in a natural and verifiable way. Readers are shown how many English Bibles represent the Hebrew name YHWH by printing LORD in small capitals.A carefully balanced discussion of John 1:1 examines the nuances of the original Greek, showing why translation involves grammar, context and informed judgement rather than simply replacing one ancient word with one English word.This is an independent work of Bible commentary. Readers are encouraged to examine every cited passage in their own Bible and consider how the complete Scriptural account answers the questions raised by present world conditions.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thirty-seven unopened letters. One sealed room. An address every official record denies. When renovation at Numbers Fourteen and Sixteen Crown Street reveals a bricked doorway and a wooden postal frame full of undelivered mail, probate genealogist Anna Harland discovers Half Door House-a two-storey dwelling hidden between both properties and absent from every rate book, directory and modern title plan. The newest letter contains a key. A forgotten will leaves the house to the descendants of Judith Lane, a young woman who vanished under another name in 1938, but requires production of the brass 141/2 plate once fixed to the blue courtyard door. With records expert Maya Singh, Daniel Harland and solicitor Frances Morrow, Anna follows a private postal chute, fire-insurance plans, a sealed family statement and a deed tin beneath the stairs. Finding the heir is only half the problem. Number Fourteen gave the house its passage. Number Sixteen carried its services. For sixty-two years, neighbours unknowingly paid to keep it standing. The evidence can restore the address-but only if inheritance is resolved without turning honest protectors into casualties. The Door Number That Never Existed is a clean British inheritance mystery about identity, safety, stewardship and the difference between possessing a clue and proving a right. It is Book Twelve of The Loughhaven Inheritance Mysteries and resolves its central case completely.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One name. Two birthdays. Two sisters separated by a record designed to keep one of them safe.When Loughhaven Library receives retired district nurse Edith Marlow's birthday book, probate genealogist Anna Harland finds an impossible entry. Rose Evelyn Hart was born on 9 March 1956. Beneath it, in another hand, someone has written an official birthday exactly one year later-and warned that the record must not be corrected until the elder child is safe.Two birth certificates name the same mother and different fathers. One Rose died childless. The other may still be living as Eleanor Davies, a retired teacher who insists she was never adopted, renamed or given a second birthday.The mystery matters because David Hart's will leaves six occupied harbour cottages to 'the daughter whose first birthday was written by the nurse and whose second birthday was chosen by the family'. Unless Anna, conservator Maya Singh, researcher Daniel Harland and solicitor Frances Morrow can establish the right daughter within eight weeks, Harbour Row will be sold for redevelopment.Their search leads through a sealed court order, a hidden guardianship file, two infant identifiers, matching birthday cakes, a photograph repaired across two different years and the testimony of the younger sister who spent her life preserving another woman's place.The evidence can identify the beneficiary. But a fair solution must also honour the sister who carried the duplicated name, the guardian who provided daily safety and the tenants who kept Harbour Row standing.The Birthday Written in Two Hands is a clean British inheritance mystery about identity, protection, consent and the difference between preserving a person and controlling her story. It is Book Fifteen of The Loughhaven Inheritance Mysteries and resolves its central case completely.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One false obituary. A woman who lived another forty-six years. A child hidden beneath four names.When a 1952 death notice is discovered in the Loughhaven Gazette archive, probate genealogist Anna Harland finds an impossible contradiction. Agnes Mary Bell supposedly died peacefully at Harbour View-yet electoral records, a passport application and a verified certificate show that she remained alive until 1998.The notice refers to a surviving child no birth register can identify and to a dormant fund now only weeks from passing away as unclaimed property. A school photograph circles one girl in a blue ribbon. Beneath the clipping, conservator Maya Singh uncovers the words the newspaper removed: Agnes Mary Bell, though not deceased.With Daniel Harland and solicitor Frances Morrow, Anna follows the child through the names Keane, Bell, Gray and Ward; a missing birth return; a midnight departure; a Canadian family record; and a deed box hidden beneath the floor of a memorial room.The evidence can restore a mother's life and release an inheritance intended for the child she protected. But correction must not turn private family history into public property-or confuse the people who preserved the truth with those legally entitled to own it.The Obituary for a Woman Still Living is a clean British inheritance mystery about identity, protection, stewardship and the difference between a record kept secret and a person who never existed. It is Book Fourteen of The Loughhaven Inheritance Mysteries and resolves its central case completely.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A borrowed wedding ring. Two husbands with the same initials. One marriage the public record lost.When a ring hidden inside a library book returns after fifty-five years, probate genealogist Anna Harland finds the initials E.M. + S.R. and the date 14 April 1946. The official index records Eliza Marsh marrying Stephen Rowan almost six months later. A harbour memorial says Samuel Reid died between the two dates.Now Margaret Vale has left Tern House to 'the family of the husband my grandmother was forbidden to call her own'. The Rowan relatives preserved the cottage for generations. The Reid family preserved a letter, a borrowed book and the memory of a marriage no register appears to contain.With records expert Maya Singh, Daniel Harland and solicitor Frances Morrow, Anna follows the evidence through a damaged counterfoil, a jeweller's hidden inscription, a rescue report, two family trees and a ring deliberately made to carry more than one truthful history.The answer can restore a husband's name and identify the intended heirs. But it must do so without erasing the second husband who protected the widow, raised another man's child and kept the first promise alive.The Name Inside the Borrowed Ring is a clean British inheritance mystery about marriage, identity, stewardship and the difference between correcting a record and replacing a life. It is Book Thirteen of The Loughhaven Inheritance Mysteries and resolves its central case completely. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A woman declared dead in 1944 signs a marriage register in 1946.When a parish register is examined under transmitted light, probate genealogist Anna Harland discovers a third wedding witness hidden beneath repair tissue. The signature belongs to Iris Margaret Bell, yet the civil index says Iris died eighteen months before the ceremony.The mystery is tied to Number Eighteen Chapel Row, a terrace house Iris later left to 'the woman who can prove I stood beside her when she married.' No beneficiary was found, the property passed to the Crown and a long-standing tenant now faces removal for redevelopment.As Anna, records expert Maya Singh, Daniel Harland and Frances Morrow compare casualty files, ration records, wedding photographs, family letters and two nearly identical silver wrens, they uncover two cousins compressed into one death entry-and a living woman forced to use the margin because the official column refused her.The Witness in the Margin is a clean British inheritance mystery about mistaken identity, faithful friendship, hidden evidence and the possibility of correcting an old wrong without creating a new one. It is Book Eight of The Loughhaven Inheritance Mysteries and resolves its central case completely.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if healing is not becoming flawless, but becoming less divided We learn to survive by separating parts of ourselves.
