Until the End of Time is Brian Greene's breathtaking new exploration of the cosmos and our quest to find meaning in the face of this vast expanse. Greene takes us on a journey from the big bang to the end of time, exploring how lasting structures formed, how life and mind emerged, and how we grapple with our existence through narrative, myth, religion, creative expression, science, the quest for truth, and a deep longing for the eternal.

A bold and all-embracing exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge from one of today's great thinkers. Throughout history, mankind has struggled to understand life's mysteries, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous.

Dish up the red meat, eggs, and whole milk! In this well-researched and captivating narrative, veteran food writer Nina Teicholz proves how everything we've been told about fat is wrong. For decades, Americans have cut back on red meat and dairy products full of "bad" saturated fats. We obediently complied with nutritional guidelines to eat "heart healthy" fats found in olive oil, fish, and nuts, and followed a Mediterranean diet heavy on fruits, vegetables, and grains. Yet the nation's health has declined. What is going on?

Nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time. We're obsessed by our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place, thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of how best to use our 4,000 weeks. Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of this problem.

In The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading experts on language and the mind, explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits, denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts.

When William Kamkwamba was just 14 years old, his family told him that he must leave school and come home to work on the farm - they could no longer afford his fees. This is his story of how he found a way to make a difference, how he brought light to his family and village and hope to his nation.

Why we think it’s a great listen: You thought he was a stodgy scientist with funny hair, but Isaacson and Hermann reveal an eloquent, intense, and selfless human being who not only shaped science with his theories, but politics and world events in the 20th century as well. Based on the newly released personal letters of Albert Einstein, Walter Isaacson explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution now forms the basis for all the life sciences, but it ignited widespread controversy upon its 1859 publication. The idea that humans and animals might have evolved from a common source came as a shock to readers at the time, and people struggle with the implications of Darwin’s theory to this day. But Darwin foresaw this resistance and argued his case with extensive examples and rigorous logic - and his theory continues to push us toward a deeper understanding of life on Earth.

先日、とある雑誌の企画で、いわゆる「お掃除ロボット」を使わせていただく機会がありました。正直、これまであまり必要性を感じたことはなかったのですが、使ってみると非常に面白かった。 ただ、僕の自宅で使い続けるにはひとつだけ、大問題がありました。それはお掃除ロボットが部屋を動き回るたびに、インコの「おもち」が、引きつけを起こしそうなぐらいに怖がってしまうということです。お掃除ロボットも捨て難いけれど、「おもち」はまぁ義理のある以前からの同居人（鳥）ですからね。残念ながら我が家で使い続けるのは不可能！　ということになり、大阪出張のついでに、母親に譲ることにしました。 私の母親も80歳を超えていて、僕としては「お掃除ロボットなんて、使い方わかるのかなぁ？」と半信半疑だったんですが、ふたを開ければすごく喜んでくれました。よく考えてみればうちの母親は掃除や洗濯といった家事が大の苦手。彼女にとっては、「勝手に掃除をしてくれるロボット」というのは、文字通り夢のような家電！　ということなのでしょう。(本文より） 名越康文の生きるための対話（dialogue）はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative.

■因果を求めない人工知能の世界 先日、人工知能に関する事業をしている人と合う機会がありました。 僕の会社が展開している採用系のサービスでも、人工知能などを用いることで、 マッチング部分でもっと手間を省いた方が絶対にいいと思っている。会社側がどういった人を求めているのか、応募者がどういった会社を望んでいるのかっていうことは、履歴書にたくさん文章を書けば伝わる問題でもないから。 もちろん最後は人間が面談することが必要なんだけど、その手前で機械ができる ことの精度を高められれば、可能性が広がるんじゃないかな。 例えばビッグデータやディープラーニング。これらは、今のトレンドといっちゃ あトレンドです。大量のデータを処理することで、あらゆることの確率が表で表 せるようになる。」(本文より) 家入一真　「家入学級」はこちらから→ http://yakan-hiko.com/ieiri.html
