The Physics of Star Trek
by Lawrence M. Krauss
Written by a renowned theoretical physicist, this book boldly goes where Star Trek has gone before. Lawrence M. Krauss reveals what the series got right--and wrong--in a fascinating voyage through the frontiers of science. The book investigates the plausibilities of faster-than-light speed, holodecks, and cloaking devices and explains the physics behind real-life phenomena shown in the series such as anti-matter and neutrinos. photo insert.
On Intelligence
by Sandra Blakeslee
Jeff Hawkins, who created the PalmPilot, the Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, here presents a brilliant book that stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke. Indeed, ON INTELLIGENCE develops a powerful theory of how the human brain works, explaining why computers are not intelligent and how, based on this new theory, we can finally build intelligent machines. Previous attempts at replicating human intelligence--through artificial intelligence and neural networks--have not succeeded. Their mistake, Hawkins argues, was in trying to emulate human behavior without first understanding what intelligence is.
