SUMMARY:Berkeley Arts & Letters presents Martin Ford / Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith and Berkeley Arts & Letters are thrilled to host Martin Ford for his new book Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. More to be announced – save the date and join us! \nPlease note: \n\nThis event is free and all ages\, but registration is required.\nYou can order copies of Rule of the Robots here; Martin’s other books here.\nEvent link will be sent to everyone who registers.\nIf you have any questions at all\, don’t hesitate to contact us: events@booksmith.com.\n\nAbout the book\nImagine it’s 2030. You call a bank to discuss your loan application\, but you don’t get to talk to a person. The bank’s AI has spoken: you are denied. At home\, feeling stressed\, you take pills both invented and prescribed by AI to keep your blood pressure in check. You stream a video starring “actors” generated by machine. And before you turn in\, you wonder if collaboration between Big Tech and China means you should choose a new AI provider for your home. \nAs Martin Ford shows in Rule of the Robots\, AI will soon flow through our lives like electricity does today\, remaking every sphere of human activity. Yet even as Ford maps out AI’s disquieting future\, he shows how we can prepare for it\, advocating for policies such as universal basic income and educational reform. It’s crucial that we take his words to heart. \nAbout the author\nMartin Ford is a futurist and the author of New York Times bestseller Rise of the Robots\, a prescient look at AI and work. It won the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award. His TED Talk on the impact of artificial intelligence on society has been viewed over 3 million times.

SUMMARY:Meg Lowman
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the release of The Arbornaut: A Life Discovering the Eighth Continent in the Trees Above Us\n\n\nFacebook Twitter Pinterest  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 16\, 2021 – 6:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrowdcast\nCA 94956\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets:\n\nSliding Scale ($0 -$100)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeg Lowman discusses The Arbornaut: A Life Discovering the Eighth Continent in the Trees Above Us (Farrar\, Straus and Giroux). \n“The Arbornaut is about a shy girl who loved to play outdoors and became a scientist who educated the world about the abundant life in the treetops. I loved it.”\n—Temple Grandin\, author of Animals Make Us Human\, Animals in Translation\, and Thinking in Pictures \nThis event will be streamed on our Crowdcast channel. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout The Arbonaut\nNicknamed the “Real-Life Lorax” by National Geographic\, the biologist\, botanist\, and conservationist Meg Lowman—aka “CanopyMeg”—takes us on an adventure into the “eighth continent” of the world’s treetops\, along her journey as a tree scientist\, and into climate action \nWelcome to the eighth continent! \nAs a graduate student exploring the rain forests of Australia\, Meg Lowman realized that she couldn’t monitor her beloved leaves using any of the usual methods. So she put together a climbing kit: she sewed a harness from an old seat belt\, gathered hundreds of feet of rope\, and found a tool belt for her pencils and rulers. Up she went\, into the trees. \nForty years later\, Lowman remains one of the world’s foremost arbornauts\, known as the “real-life Lorax.” She planned one of the first treetop walkways and helps create more of these bridges through the eighth continent all over the world. \nWith a voice as infectious in its enthusiasm as it is practical in its optimism\, The Arbornaut chronicles Lowman’s irresistible story. From climbing solo hundreds of feet into the air in Australia’s rainforests to measuring tree growth in the northeastern United States\, from searching the redwoods of the Pacific coast for new life to studying leaf eaters in Scotland’s Highlands\, from conducting a BioBlitz in Malaysia to conservation planning in India and collaborating with priests to save Ethiopia’s last forests\, Lowman launches us into the life and work of a field scientist\, ecologist\, and conservationist. She offers hope\, specific plans\, and recommendations for action; despite devastation across the world\, through trees\, we can still make an immediate and lasting impact against climate change. \nA blend of memoir and fieldwork account\, The Arbornaut gives us the chance to live among scientists and travel the world—even in a hot-air balloon! It is the engrossing\, uplifting story of a nerdy tree climber—the only girl at the science fair—who becomes a giant inspiration\, a groundbreaking\, ground-defying field biologist\, and a hero for trees everywhere. \nAbout Meg Lowman\nMeg Lowman\, PhD\, aka “CanopyMeg\,” is an American biologist\, educator\, ecologist\, writer\, editor\, and public speaker. She is the executive director of the TREE Foundation and a professor at the National University of Singapore\, Arizona State University\, and Universiti Sains Malaysia. Nicknamed the “real-life Lorax” by National Geographic and “Einstein of the treetops” by The Wall Street Journal\, Lowman pioneered the science of canopy ecology. Her motto is “no child left indoors.” She travels extensively for research\, outreach\, and speaking engagements for audiences large and small.
