What if the great discoveries of science came in the "wrong" order? The Laws of Thermodynamics were discovered well after the creation of algebra, classical physics, and chemistry, but are perhaps much more important to our basic understanding of the universe. This flawed chronology led to a confusion that has prevented a cross-curricular understanding of the sciences. With the development of Artificial Intelligence, it will soon be possible to solve the philosophical and biological problem of solipsism, the problem that all of our scientific discoveries have been necessarily - and incorrectly - built upon anachronistic foundations. In other words, we've built our fundamental understanding of science out of order. In The New Order: How Artificial Intelligence Restructures Scientific Breakthroughs, author Chris Edwards shows that AI will be able to understand science without needing human analogies, will not be constrained by problems that are inherent in the traditional chronological developments of the sciences. If human scholars are to understand how AI interprets the universe, we will need to understand the scientific narrative in a "new order." Offering the historical narrative of science in the traditional order while explaining core ideas through the lens of thermodynamics, and then moving to the story of how a slew of quantum physicists connect thermodynamics retroactively to scientific history, Edwards provides a "new order" to place thermodynamics in its proper place at the center of our scientific universe. Under this "new order", every other discovery is then connected through those concepts. AI is likely to view the history of the universe through entropy and probability, and with the insights and invention of The New Order, readers can, too.
Toronto, the near future: a city ruined by greed. Homeless citizens fill parks by the thousands, their spaces artificially heated in the winter months-their lives in the hands of a power company that has ceased all communication.Otis Colip is one of those homeless. He had a good life once: nice house, brilliant wife, a prominent job maintaining a fleet of corporate androids. As tempers in the park flare and scavengers big and small begin squeezing his community, he must make his stand. Driven by a deep desire to return to his old life inside the biometrically locked city, he takes on a risky job-one with an all-or-nothing price tag.Recalling such classics as Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, as well as contemporary dystopias like Eric Barnes' The City Where We Once Lived, Margaret Atwood's The Heart Goes Last, and Adam Sternbergh's Shovel Ready, Optimal Power is a story in which access is everything, and the keys belong to thieves, hackers, and CEOs.
Leading up to the triumph of the great Moon Landing was a dark time for the United States. With an enemy in the Soviet Union, America joined the space race in a sprint to the moon. From the early days of Sputnik to the lengthy Apollo missions, this book uncovers the moments leading to Armstrong's famous line: "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Feminism is world history's most significant historical force and should be presented in classrooms as the central narrative in world history from the Protestant Reformation to the present. Democratic ideals created both the American congress and the feminist movement, but which is more important?
To Explain it All analyzes seven of the foundational works in the field of World History from H.G. Wells in 1920 to Susan Wise Bauer's ongoing multi-volume work.
This book connects a new history and philosophy of science with the history of education.
Insights on Insincerity analyzes the concept of insincerity thematically through four types of relationships: from authority to the subordinate, the subordinate to authority, among equals, and in the self and society. Through this, references to classical literature, history, psychology, sociology, and popular culture are examined and analyzed.
The Connecting the Dots in World History: A Teacher's Literacy-Based Curriculum series changes this by showing how effective a teacher-generated curriculum can be. These books can inspire other teachers to create their own curricula and inspire a change in the way that the public views teachers and teaching.

This timely book has come to formalize these methods, build upon Bacon's scientific research model, and to ultimately go beyond it.
Since the 1980s, the "institutional" lease has undergone a gramatic transformation. This book sets out to explain the main changes that have occurred since the early 1990s (such as the rules relating to privity of contract). It also provides guidance on the factors driving further change, including the Code of Practice for Commercial Leases.
