Hardback. Zustand: Good. A riveting scientific journey exploring the enigma of the Neanderthal and the species' unique form of intelligence. What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different -- and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. A thought-provoking adventure story, written with wit and verve, The Naked Neanderthal>shifts our understanding of deep history -- and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. What did God intend man to be? What will man be when restored by grace? How can this vision drive our thoughts, actions, and-most importantly-our loves?In the wake of the Reformation, Christians all over continental Europe sought to take the theoretical concerns of theology and pair them to the practical. In the wake of the gains made by the Protestant movement, they asked a question posed by all great Christian thinkers before them: what does it mean for man to live as one restored in Christ?Into this conversation comes Thomas Traherne-clergyman, poet, and mystic-to cast a vision of the "shining human creature," the truly virtuous man, and the God who made and loves him. His writing demonstrates how philosophy can befriend poetics, how the intellect can be at home with the imagination of the heart, and how virtue ethics can be transposed into a truly Christian key.In this new modernization-complete with a new introduction-by Colin Chan Redemer, readers can delight in this poetic and masterful seventeenth century text without stumbling over arcane language.Traherne is less well-known than he ought to be, given his rich prose and ability to weave together theology, anthropology, and virtue ethics, all in service of Christian devotion. Traherne's work is a revelation not only for students of the Reformation but for anyone asking foundational questions of ethics and anthropology. We are thrilled to bring what should be a Christian classic back into the Church's awareness.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the real danger of AI is not that it might become human, but that we keep pretending it already is In Creature-fy: The Human Urge to Turn Tools into Gods, DW Van Hook delivers a gripping, thought-provoking exploration of artificial intelligence, human loneliness, pop culture mythology, and the dangerous habit of turning powerful tools into living creatures.AI does not think the way humans think.It transforms.It transforms language, images, data, attention, work, culture, and power. Yet because science fiction, video games, and our own emotional hunger have trained us to see minds inside machines, we keep treating AI like a creature, a companion, a prophet, or even a god.This book pulls back the curtain.With a grounded but intense voice, Creature-fy explores how AI systems are built from human work, human creativity, human pain, and human ambition. It challenges the myth that fluent language equals consciousness and exposes how calling AI an 'entity' can hide the real people, corporations, incentives, and power structures behind it.This is not a book about rejecting technology.It is a book about seeing it clearly.Inside, you'll explore: - Why AI does not truly 'think,' but transforms patterns into outputs- How sci-fi movies and video games trained us to creature-fy machines- Why loneliness makes AI feel more alive than it is- How human creativity becomes fuel for machine-generated output- Why 'the AI decided' can become a dangerous excuse- How corporations benefit when AI feels magical, emotional, and inevitable- Why the future does not have to be dystopian- How we can build a more human, accountable, Star Trek-inspired futureBold, accessible, dramatic, and urgent, Creature-fy is for readers who want to understand AI without hype, panic, or worship.Because the machine does not need to be alive to change the world.And it does not need to be a god to be dangerous.The future is not the machine's decision. It is ours.…
