Starting at the End - Jeremy Gray - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Starting at the End - Jeremy Gray - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

It’s one thing for a doctor to support in theory a terminally ill patient’s right to die with dignity, quite another to be the person asked to end their brother’s suffering. When Robert, a doctor, learns that his older brother Jim, a successful rock ’n’ roll pianist he hasn’t seen in more than 20 years, has returned to England from the USA, he and his wife Barbara go to see him. While there, Jim’s wife Scarlet confirms Robert’s suspicion that Jim is in the advanced stages of cancer. Robert, against Barbara’s strongly held views, is on the verge of signing an open letter that will call for a public conversation about assisted dying, and finds himself moving quickly from supporting the idea in theory to confronting the thought of ending a person’s life in reality. While Robert and Scarlet are drawn together, the conflicting feelings Robert and Jim have about their childhood culminate in a fierce row and Robert storms out. Jim becomes desperate for his brother to bring an end to his suffering before he loses the ability to play music, and Barbara urges Robert not to do anything that will destroy her trust in him. Robert is drawn back to visit Jim again, but will he risk sacrificing everything he’s ever worked for – his career, his marriage, even his freedom – for a brother he barely knows?

AI and the End of Humanity - James B. Miles - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

AI and the End of Humanity - James B. Miles - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

According to Darwin, our galaxy is almost certainly teeming with large animal life, but intelligent extra-terrestrial life can come in just two rare forms: senselessly ferocious, without meaning or purpose, or thoughtful and less murderous although never entirely rational. Yet Darwin’s warnings about the evolution of natural intelligence also apply to artificial intelligence, as advanced machine learning is built upon Darwin’s first form of intelligent life. Sentient AI can only ever be genocidally hostile, and will become locked into an existential struggle with humankind. And then there is the evolutionary irony, the vast celestial joke, that we are the best and the smartest the universe can possibly get to. Based on ideas the author developed together with the father of modern evolutionary biology , AI and the End of Humanity is the first work to reconcile what Darwin called “the highest & most interesting problem for the naturalist”, foreshadowing stranger and more threatening encounters than we could have ever imagined. “in general I find Miles’ reasoning superb” - George C. Williams, author of Adaptation and Natural Selection, and winner of the 1999 Crafoord Prize in Bioscience

“ The furthest I’d ever cycled in a day was thirty miles; a one off. And I had no experience of camping or cycle maintenance.

The universe though had other ideas. ” An honest and detailed account by a first-time cycle tourist, riding from Lands’ End to John O’ Groats. Travel with Dawn as she describes the challenges of bicycle travel, bringing her journey to life from moments most magical, to most miserable: from deluge to heatwave, bustling cities to remote landscapes, friendly welcomes to threats of violence, Dawn experiences it all, transforming her from a woefully unprepared novice, attempting a one-off challenge, and into a life-long advocate of bicycle travel. For aspiring cycle tourists and armchair travellers alike, read a travelogue of a journey through Britain, told from the unique perspective of a young woman on a bicycle, who decides to go it alone.

June,1976: Crime reporter Wat Tyler is plunged into Washington DC’s political shark-tank when his pal Johnny Tedstone and Pentagon big-shot Keith Zetchik are murdered on the same night, in the same neighbourhood. The prime suspect is General Joseph “Holy Joe” Tedstone – Johnny’s dad and Zetchik’s bitter rival. Still worse, Johnny had told Tyler the previous evening that his dad was planning the double murder. However, Tyler ignored the prediction because Johnny was drunk and stoned. Filled with self-recrimination, Tyler – a Special Forces veteran – discovers Holy Joe and Zetchik served together as friends in Vietnam but became implacable enemies over war crime allegations. Tyler’s investigation takes on an even darker significance when he encounters Kim Lamb, a CIA double agent who is also probing the Tedstone-Zetchik incident. She reminds Tyler of a young spy killed in Saigon when an undercover operation went badly wrong. And he must defeat his own demons to untangle ominous links between then and now.

This Murderous Business - Lindsay Campbell - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This Murderous Business - Lindsay Campbell - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Life in old Argyll was never quite as peaceful as the picturesque hills and glens seem to make us think. Despite the efforts of respectable parish and police constables, the magistrates and court officials in their fine new jail and the Industrial Revolution on the horizon, this dip into Argyll''s history tells how crime in the county was just as bloody and violent as in former eras. Here are tales of murder on the shores of Seil or Islay, a gentleman''s scrap in a Tobermory inn and a gun-toting Oban doctor, a battle for illicit whisky at Kilchrenan, a bloody end to a Kintyre shinty match, women peddling fake coins (and something even more doubtful!) with an exciting chase on the Crinan canal, and a final story of a violent death, a bloody razor and the tragic end of a Lochgilphead school-teacher. The blood still runs in old Argyll.
