A hundred and fifty years of conflict. What does that do to a person’s soul, to the spirit of a nation? To both the occupied and the occupier?International Booker Prize-winning Israeli novelist David Grossman has spent decades campaigning for peace in Israel and Palestine. But after October 7th 2023, a day marking the biggest loss of Jewish life in this century, he retreated inwards to ask himself difficult and necessary questions about his beloved nation:How could this massacre have happened?How could the Netanyahu government, tangled in its web of scandals, fail to protect its citizens?And did October 7 and the war that followed take with it their last hope of a two-state solution?In eleven essays David Grossman traces the years leading up to that day and the ensuing war through a string of failures by a morally bankrupt party clinging to power. He documents the struggle being fought on both sides between those committed to conflict, and the many who simply want to live in peace.Ultimately, Grossman arrives at the most important question of all: Will there ever be a lasting peace in the region?

An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems--how we got here, where we're headed, and what it all means for how we interact with the world.In ChatGPT and the Future of AI, the sequel to The Deep Learning Revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational approaches to understanding brain function, answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.Sejnowski begins by describing the debates surrounding LLMs' comprehension of language and exploring the notions of ''thinking'' and ''intelligence.'' He then takes a deep dive into the historical evolution of language models, focusing on the role of transformers, the correlation between computing power and model size, and the intricate mathematics shaping LLMs. Sejnowski also provides insight into the historical roots of LLMs and discusses the potential future of AI, focusing on next-generation LLMs inspired by nature and the importance of developing energy-efficient technologies.Grounded in Sejnowski's dual expertise in AI and neuroscience, ChatGPT and the Future of AI is the definitive guide to understanding the intersection of AI and human intelligence.

Ya estamos hartos del personal de las sillitas, que se creen que la Semana Santa es ir de acampada, y de los niños estos de cristal que le ponen palo a la bola para pedir cera y no quemarse. ¡¿Dónde vamos a llegar con los móviles, que parece que en vez de misterios vamos a ver un concierto de la Beyoncé...?! Y el personal sacando fotos de pasos en las Setas. Y qué son esos mamarrachos cubistas en el paño de la Verónica... Ese muñidor de la Mortaja, con sus campanas y sus patillas, ese sí que hace que la Semana Santa vuelva a ser pura otra vez... El discurso seguía mientras los hermanos mayores de las cofradías de Sevilla escuchaban estupefactos en aquella cita tan misteriosa. Aquel hombre tenía un extraño poder de convicción, y todos le creyeron cuando anunció algo inconcebible e innegociable si la Semana Santa no volvía a ser lo que tenía que ser: «Morirán las flores, arderán las aguas, caerán las iglesias»... Entretanto, al inspector Jiménez le huele mal todo lo que se ha montado en un naranjal de Valencina a la busca de un botín robado, mientras pasan más calor que un perro negro...

Antes que nada, como todas las obras de Caparrós, es, además de sus memorias, un magnífico artefacto literario donde cada palabra cuenta, donde el cómo importa tanto como el qué. Martín Caparrós es uno de los grandes escritores de su generación, maestro del periodismo y de la novela y de esa cruza de ambos que es la crónica. Nómada, polemista, curioso impenitente, ha recorrido el mundo y conocido a muchos de sus habitantes ricos y poderosos, y a muchos más pobres y anónimos. Estas fascinantes memorias cuentan esa vida ''militancias y exilios, selvas y redacciones, amores y derrotas'' y, al mismo tiempo, sesenta años de historia de Occidente: Caparrós puede pasar de la residencia de Perón en Madrid a la choza de Saratou en Níger y al primer McDonald's en los últimos días de la Unión Soviética, puede descollar por accidente en la radio argentina o dar cuenta del problema del hambreen una obra fundamental, puede escribir biografías en verso, componer novelas interactivas o renunciar al New York Times por la censura.La crítica ha dicho sobre el autor y su obra:«Martín Caparrós acometió proyectos demenciales contar la Argentina(El Interior), contar el hambre del mundo (El Hambre ), contar un continente (Ñamérica) sin dejar de embestir contra la corrección política. Mucho de todo lo que aprendí sobre el periodismo lo aprendí leyendo y viendo vivir a Caparrós, contemplando su forma de buscar la incomodidad y el riesgo...».Leila Guerriero, El País «Creo que no es certero ni ecuánime decir que Martín Caparróses un escritor, un periodista, un cronista o un reportero. Es insuficiente. Sus textos no se leen: suenan, tienen música. Caparrós es un género».Santiago Tejedor, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona «Es un escritor superdotado, seductor, con un talento natural para mantener el equilibro narrativo».Nadal Suau, El Español«Martín Caparrós es un periodista global, un referente para varias generaciones».Pepa Bueno, directora de El País «Caparrós es el escritor en español que más y mejor ha narrado, en las medidas de lo posible, el mundo entero».Jorge Carrión, Infobae

‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts'Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime.Now, in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating, in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself.Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism through which he reflects on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks – and mourns – the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come.Whether it’s duck à l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and richness to his days.

In June 1609, two judges left Bordeaux for a territory at the very edge of their jurisdiction, a Basque-speaking province on the Atlantic coast called the Pays de Labourd. In four months, they executed up to 80 women and men for the crime of witchcraft, causing a wave of suspects to flee into Spain and sparking terror there. Witnesses, many of them children, described lurid tales of cannibalism, vampirism, and demonic sex. One of the judges, Pierre de Lancre, published a sensationalist account of this diabolical netherworld. With other accounts seemingly destroyed, this witch-hunt – France's largest – has always been seen through de Lancre's eyes. The narrative, re-told over the centuries, is that of a witch-hunt caused by a bigoted outsider.Newly discovered evidence paints a very different, still darker picture, revealing a secret history underneath de Lancre's well-known tale. Far from an outside imposition, witchcraft was a home-grown problem. Panic had been building up over a number of years and the region was fractured by factionalism and a struggle over scarce resources. The Basque Witch-Hunt reveals that de Lancre was no outsider, he was a local partisan, married into the Basque nobility. Living at the Franco-Spanish border, the Basques were victims of geography. Geo-politics caused a local conflict which made the witch-hunt inevitable. The same forces eventually sent thousands of religious refugees from Spain to France where they, in turn, became new objects of popular fear and anger.The Basque witch-hunt is justly infamous. This book shows that almost everything historians thought they knew about it is wrong.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2023A WATERSTONES BOOK OF YEAR FOR POLITICS 2023In this bold and radical book, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini goes in search of the true roots of gendered oppression, uncovering a complex history of how male domination became embedded in societies and spread across the globe from prehistory into the present.Travelling to the world’s earliest known human settlements, analysing the latest research findings in science and archaeology, and tracing cultural and political histories from the Americas to Asia, she overturns simplistic universal theories to show that what patriarchy is and how far it goes back really depends on where you are.Despite the push back against sexism and exploitation in our own time, even revolutionary efforts to bring about equality have often ended in failure and backlash. Saini ends by asking what part we all play – women included – in keeping patriarchal structures alive, and why we need to look beyond the old narratives to understand why it persists in the present.

‘Doctor, I think I’m losing my mind…’. When a wealthy young man turns up at respected psychiatrist Dr George Matthews’ office uttering these words, it changes his safe existence forever. Suddenly Matthews finds himself dragged into a strange, surreal world where nothing is certain. And when an actress is found murdered, a horse tied up outside her apartment, Matthews loses his memory – and must find it in a nightmarish urban jungle of mistaken identities, secrets and insanity.
