![]() Upper back fore-edge corner tipped is rubbed through. So this is at least a second state book in a second state dust jacket. ![]() The dust jacket is price-clipped but the front inside flap is marked with 30-70 and the back flap "About the Author and Artist" does not include the reference to The Wonderful Farm. Back panel has list of Books by Ruth Krauss. Charmingly illustrated paper covered boards with black cloth spine. Very good or better book in very good dust jacket. "What would you say about eyebrows?

This book was the winner of the 1st New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book Award. The top spine of the dust jacket has been nicked off and there is some rubbing / creasing to the spine as well. The dust jacket is mostly clean and bright with some noticeable toning / sunning to the spine and rear cover, along with an inch long semi-closed tear to the top front spine joint. There is some beginning foxing and toning to the top rear cover of the book. ![]() The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Everybody wants the codicil to long-dead Jeoffrey Huffam's will. Palliser's first novel is an extraordinary achievement: a triple-decker (800-page) Victorian pastiche, obviously modeled on Bleak House, unfolding the staggeringly complex tale of young John Huffam's attempts to ward off ruin and death until he can solve multiple family mysteries. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a noble goal, but I would have liked to see more discussions about how to increase the probability of that happening. So we should try to design systems based on how AI and humans work together. But also that it is the combination between humans and machine that tend to get the best results. AI are a reflection of us and as such will always come with flaws. Hanna's main point form my perspective is to help us understand that we should apply the same ethics and thinking that we have always done. Given these skills it can do different things more/faster than humans, including mistakes. This book basically just state that AI have some skills, especially pattern recognition, classification and prediction. But perhaps the book Hanna has written is needed before that discussion can happen. I still would have liked more discussions about different kind of AI:s and how they are shaped, as I think this is an area where more knowledge is needed to ensure a substantive discussion. ![]() ![]() That might not be Hanna's fault as the title on the American edition is "How to be Human in the Age of the Machine". ![]() I was initially very disappointed with this book as it is not very much about algorithms. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Presciently, French stopped making professional detectives her central characters in 2018, just as white people were broadly catching on that in real life, the police were not the heroes.) But beyond mysteries and motives, you’re likely to encounter protagonists grappling with personal trauma and thorny ethical questions, a three-dimensional supporting cast, a tremendously powerful sense of place (see the house in The Likeness, the grove in The Secret Place, the wild Irish landscape in The Searcher), and luminously descriptive writing. These are, in the narrowest sense, detective novels: six entries in the Dublin Murder Squad series, focusing on investigators in the eponymous (purely fictional) police unit, and two standalone novels that are also about unsolved deaths. ![]() ![]() ![]() Missionary Stories with the Millers (Miller Family (Harvest House)) by Mildred A.
