This book breaks through both the hype and the doom-and-gloom surrounding automation and the deployment of artificial intelligence-enabled—“smart”—systems at work. Management and technology experts Thomas Davenport and Steven Miller show that, contrary to widespread predictions, prescriptions, and denunciations, AI is not primarily a job destroyer. Rather, AI changes the way we work—by taking over some tasks but not entire jobs, freeing people to do other, more important and more challenging work.

The first of the Founding Documents Trilogy featuring the Declaration of Independence. The listener is swept into a chapter of history ripped from the headlines of the late 1700s, where the future of the Colonies hung in the balance.

An independent nation now exists forged in the fires of battle and founded upon lofty principles. But treaties with indigenous people have been broken, women had no rights, and slavery was still legal. Can integrity be legislated? Can equality be lived? Can truth be heard? Can individual rights be secured? These questions are answered in A Voice for the People.

Summer 1787. After a long, difficult, and devastating war for independence was won, the Articles of Confederation–our first form of government–was falling apart at the seams. Controversy and dissention reigned supreme as Congress convened at Independence Hall. Fiery passions, ablaze with visions of a new form of government “by and for the people,” hovered on the horizon. Would the sun of a New Age sink under a cloud of doubt and dissention? Or would it represent the dawn of a new era breaking over the world as A Rising Sun.

The Sussex Beekeeper at the Dawn of Time is an unconventional and breath-taking tour de force that flirts with the crossover and steampunk genres. The book knits together a transcribed oral memoir, newspaper clippings, and myriad letters and journal pages from across two millennia, much of it held together by the pithy comments of a certain elderly beekeeper residing in Sussex, England. While comparatively few, these notes are nonetheless the essential marble skeleton on which the whole denouement and structure of the book hangs.

Those who lusted to vicariously accompany Quatermain on new perilous treks into the vast reaches of the "Dark Continent" (as they had done to King Solomon’s Mines) had no choice but to remain disappointed. Until now!
