    Abstract: A slew of harmful stereotypes continues to follow Black women. The second edition of this bestseller debunks vicious misconceptions rooted in long-standing racism and shows that Black women are still alright. When African women arrived on American shores, the three-headed hydra--servile Mammy, angry Sapphire, and lascivious Jezebel--followed close behind. These stereotypes persist to this day through newspaper headlines, Sunday sermons, social media memes, cable punditry, government policies, big screen portrayals, and hit song lyrics. Author Tamara Winfrey Harris reveals that while emancipation may have happened more than 150 years ago, America still won't let a sister be free from this coven of caricatures. The latest edition of this bestseller features new interviews with diverse Black women about marriage, motherhood, health, sexuality, beauty, and more. Alongside these authentic experiences and fresh voices, Winfrey Harris explores the evolution of stereotypes of Black women, with new real-life examples, such as the rise of blackfishing and digital blackface (which help white women rise to fame) and the media's continued fascination with Black women's sexuality (as with Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion). The second edition also includes a new chapter on Black women and power that explores how persistent stereotypes challenge Black women's recent leadership and achievements in activism, community organizing, and politics. The chapter includes interviews with activists and civic leaders and interrogates media coverage and perceptions of Stacey Abrams, Vice President Kamala Harris, and others. Winfrey Harris exposes anti-Black woman propaganda and shows how real Black women are pushing back against racist, distorted cartoon versions of themselves. She counters warped prejudices with the straight-up truth about being a Black woman in America

    Abstract: "This book reminds us of what we have in common: the power to create a good life for ourselves and for others, no matter what the world has in store for us." -Michael J. Fox This book reveals that people with disabilities are the invisible force that has shaped history. They have been instrumental in the growth of freedom and birth of democracy. They have produced heavenly music and exquisite works of art. They have unveiled the scientific secrets of the universe. They are among our most popular comedians, poets, and storytellers. And at 1.2 billion, they are also the largest minority group in the world. Al Etmanski offers ten lessons we can all learn from people with disabilities, illustrated with short, funny, inspiring, and thought-provoking stories of one hundred individuals from twenty countries. Some are familiar, like Michael J. Fox, Greta Thunberg, Stephen Hawking, Helen Keller, Stevie Wonder, and Temple Grandin. Others deserve to be, like Evelyn Glennie, a virtuoso percussionist who is deaf-her mission is to teach the world to listen to improve communication and social cohesion. Or Aaron Philip, who has revolutionized the runway as the first disabled, trans woman of color to become a professional model. The time has come to recognize people with disabilities for who they really are: authoritative sources on creativity, love, sexuality, resistance, dealing with adversity, and living a good life

    Abstract: Der bekannte KI-Pionier Stuart Russell zeigt die Chancen und Risiken der Künstlichen Intelligenz auf Eine Superintelligenz als Zukunftsszenario - wie wir es schaffen, die Kontrolle zu behalten Eine realistische und kritische Betrachtung der KI mit anschaulichen Analogien und konkreten Lösungsvorschlägen In diesem bahnbrechenden Buch über die größte Frage bei der Entwicklung der KI zeigt der bekannte KI-Forscher Stuart Russell, wieso er sein eigenes Forschungsgebiet als Bedrohung für die menschliche Spezies ansieht und wie wir den aktuellen Kurs ändern können, bevor es zu spät ist. Niemand könnte die Chancen und Risiken dieser Zukunftstechnologie besser beurteilen als Stuart Russell, der seit mehr als einer Dekade an vorderster Front der KI-Forschung steht. Mit brillanten Analogien erklärt er, wie KI genau funktioniert und welche enormen Chancen sie mit sich bringt. Doch wir müssen sicherstellen, dass wir niemals die Kontrolle über diese Maschinen verlieren, die mächtiger sind als wir selbst. Russell zeigt auf, wie wir die schlimmsten Bedrohungen abwenden, indem wir die Grundlagen der KI neu denken, um zu garantieren, dass die Maschinen unsere Ziele verfolgen, nicht ihre. Fundiert, eindringlich und visionär ist Human Compatible ein Buch, das jeder lesen sollte, um die Zukunft zu verstehen, die schneller kommt, als wir denken. Über den Autor: Stuart Russell ist Professor der Informatik am Lehrstuhl Engineering der University of California, Berkeley. Er hat als stellvertretender Vorsitzender des Councils über Künstliche Intelligenz und Robotik des Weltwirtschaftsforums und Berater für die Rüstungskontrolle der Vereinten Nationen fungiert. Darüber hinaus ist er Fellow von Andrew Carnegie sowie der Association for Computing Machinery und der American Association for the Advancement of Science.
