Re-Engineering Humanity
Author: Brett Frischmann
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108562256
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
Every day, new warnings emerge about artificial intelligence rebelling against us. All the while, a more immediate dilemma flies under the radar. Have forces been unleashed that are thrusting humanity down an ill-advised path, one that's increasingly making us behave like simple machines? In this wide-reaching, interdisciplinary book, Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger examine what's happening to our lives as society embraces big data, predictive analytics, and smart environments. They explain how the goal of designing programmable worlds goes hand in hand with engineering predictable and programmable people. Detailing new frameworks, provocative case studies, and mind-blowing thought experiments, Frischmann and Selinger reveal hidden connections between fitness trackers, electronic contracts, social media platforms, robotic companions, fake news, autonomous cars, and more. This powerful analysis should be read by anyone interested in understanding exactly how technology threatens the future of our society, and what we can do now to build something better.

Author: Ping Kwong Kam
Publisher: City University of HK Press
ISBN: 9629376415
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Games help drive engagement, achieve goals, and ultimately promote development within a group. As such, it is important for group facilitators to be equipped with game skills to ensure a lively, vibrant, and motivated atmosphere. This book includes four theoretical essays by experienced game facilitators regarding the concept, practice sharing, and application skills of group game facilitation, as well as a collection of 100 practical group games covering ice-breaking, mutual understanding, group cooperation, and problem solving. This list of games is built on the experiences and contributions of the author and social work students. -------------------------------------------------------- “A key strength of this book is that it has been developed by teachers in collaboration with students. This highly unusual aspect of the book both gives voice to students and demonstrates the commitment of the authors to collaborative learning.” – Steven M Shardlow, Professor Emeritus of Social Work, Keele University, United Kingdom Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Social Work “...a solid, well-organized, and high-quality resource for social work colleagues, students, and instructors. It is a welcome addition to the professional literature on social work with groups and will likely enhance the advancement of group work practice in many parts of the world.” – Adolf Ka Tat Tsang Professor, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work University of Toronto, Canada

In this probing study of the growth experience of Fortune 100-sized firms across the past fifty years, authors Olson and van Bever find that great companies stop growing not because of market saturation, government regulation, or other external constraints but rather because of a finite set of common strategy mistakes that appear time after time, across industries, across geography, and across the economic cycle."--Jacket.

70
Author: Bill Beckham
Publisher: CCS Publishing
ISBN: 193578983X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
Bill Beckham gives a historical and strategic perspective of God's expansion people movement that is built upon the unique and interrelated groups of 3, 12, and 70. He makes the case that the church must do three things in the 21st century: (1) Add a mid-sized group of seventy that can organize and supervise church planting expansion, (2) make Christ the presence, power, and purpose of existing and future small groups, and (3) establish friendship triads of two or three as the contagious factor for making disciples and reaching unbelievers. Beckham gives a five-step strategy through which a church, up and down the spectrum from a mini church, mega church, cell church, or a church plant, can, by using Jesus' groups of 3/12/70, experience New Testament expansion rather than just growing or maintaining in a building.
