Do the Right Thing: Studies in Limited Rationality

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Russell, Stuart J. / Wefald, Eric H., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Like Mooki, the hero of Spike Lee's film "Do the Right Thing," artificially intelligent systems have a hard time knowing what to do in all circumstances. Classical theories of perfect rationality prescribe the "right thing" for any occasion, but no finite agent can compute their prescriptions fast enough. In "Do the Right Thing, " the authors argue that a new theoretical foundation for artificial intelligence can be constructed in which rationality is a property of "programs" within a finite architecture, and their behavior over time in the task environment, rather than a property of individual decisions. "Do the Right Thing" suggests that the rich structure that seems to be exhibited by humans, and ought to be exhibited by AI systems, is a necessary result of the pressure for optimal behavior operating within a system of strictly limited resources. It provides an outline for the design of new intelligent systems and describes theoretical and practical tools for bringing about intelligent behavior in finite machines. The tools are applied to game planning and real-time problem solving, with surprising results. Contents: Limited Rationality. Execution Architectures for Decision Procedures. Metareasoning Architecture. Rational Metareasoning. Application to Game Playing. Application to Problem Solving Search. Learning the Value of Computation. Toward Limited Rational Agents.

Like a Summer Never to Be Repeated

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Berrada, Mohammed / Phillips, Christina, PUBLISHER: American University in Cairo Press, Like a Summer Never to Be Repeated is a fascinating and highly experimental story based loosely around the author's own experiences in Egypt as a Moroccan student and visiting intellectual.

Meanwhile, his regular visits to Cairo allow us watch a culture in transition over four decades.Exploring themes of change, the role of culture in society, memory, and writing, in a text that combines narrative fiction with literary criticism, philosophical musings, and quotation, Like a Summer Never to Be Repeated is among the most innovative works of modern Arabic literature and a testimony to Mohammed Berrada's position as a leading pioneer.

Christmas Is Not Your Birthday: Experience the Joy of Living

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Slaughter, Mike, PUBLISHER: Abingdon Press, Every year, we say we re going to cut back, simplify, and have a family Christmas that focuses on the real reason for the season Jesus. But every year, advertisements beckon, the children plead, and it seems easier just to indulge our wants and whims.

Instead, experience the peace of knowing that God is truly with us, the joy of giving sacrificially, and the love of a Savior who gave everything he had for us. In five short, engaging chapters, Pastor Mike Slaughter inspires readers to approach Christmas differently, and be transformed in the process.

Be a Man!: Becoming the Man God Created You to Be

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Richards, Larry, PUBLISHER: Ignatius Press, Men are rediscovering the importance of the spiritual life. And Father Larry Richards is helping them do it. While some writers apply a one-size-fits-all approach to the Christian life, Father Richards draws on his many years of ministry and his own experience as a man to inspire other men as men. In Be a Man, he recounts his struggles to learn true manhood, as well as the inspiring stories of others he has served in his decades as a priest. He tells men how to focus on the right goal, how to live as a beloved son of God, of the need to acknowledge one's faults and to live according to the Holy Spirit, to be a man of true love and of wisdom, to appreciate properly the differences between men and women, to pursue holiness, and to make a difference in the world. Not preachy but direct, Father Richards challenges men to be strong, without putting on a mask of false strength or machismo. He calls men to admit their weaknesses and limitations, while urging them to find strength in faith and genuine love to overcome their sins and faults. Although a celibate priest, he minces no words when it comes to the place of sexuality--for the unmarried man as well as for the married man. He shows that true manliness is not opposed to love but thrives on it. Father Richards stresses that a relationship with Christ reveals the meaning of a man's life and his identity as a man. He inspires men to become the true heroes they long to be--men of authentic courage, compassion and integrity. This is a highly readable book for men by a man who knows how to talk to men about the things that matter most.

Splendored Thing: Love, Roses, and Other Thorny Treasures

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lowe, Bia, PUBLISHER: Seal Press (CA), Bia Lowes Splendored Thing is a memoir and a paean to love told in a series of exquisitely written personal essays that follow one womans understanding of love, from childhoods gentle adventures to adulthoods stormy affairs. Author of the critically acclaimed Wild Ride, Lowe is an award-winning writer who knows that there is more truth in a good metaphor than in a thousand tiny details, and she draws on everything from Sara Lee baked goods and fairy tales to maps and stars to limn love in its myriad forms. She writes of her mother, the person from whom she learned loving; the object of her affection, through whom she continues to define and redefine love; and of other kinds of loving: love for a landscape, a house, a snail, a boy. Bia Lowes writing calls to mind the best of Joan Didion, Walt Whitman, and Lewis Thomas. But like all great writers, her work is breathtakingly original, and Splendored Thing is a unique book that takes us through the life and loves of a woman who finds joy, sorrow, and, ultimately, wonder in both.

Love Haiku: Japanese Poems of Yearning, Passion, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Donegan, Patricia / Ishibashi, Yoshie, PUBLISHER: Shambhala Publications, Haiku is celebrated as a concise form of poetry able to convey a singular moment with great clarity. While haiku most often depicts the natural world, when focused on the elements of love and sensuality, haiku can be a powerful vehicle for evoking the universal experience of love. In this elegant anthology, love is explored through beautiful images that evoke a range of feelings--from the longing of a lover to the passion of a romantic relationship. Written by contemporary Japanese poets--with many haiku translated here for the first time--as well as by haiku masters such as Basho, Buson, and Issa, these poems share not only the haiku poets' vision for love, but their vision of the poignant moments that mark love.

Late Winter

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Bill, PUBLISHER: Iris Press, The idea of home, the magic of story, and the healing power of nature inform the poems in Late Winter. Yet, Bill Brown understands that loss and grief, breaking and mending deepen the human experience. "Taking joy, isn't easy," Brown writes, "as if you could ignore lost faces in city streets, or playgrounds littered with broken glass." These poems often mine the darkness of loss, war and our culture's constant barrage of status and style. Even so, in "Dream Letter Lullaby" Brown asks us to "be as hopeful as the hands of children sleeping." His world gives us the right to reclaim our innocence. He knows what every child knows- "A closed heart can't greet a winter sky. Even a rain puddle is filled with it, and a horse trough, and the slow current of creeks." Late Winter opens with a search for home. By the book's end, Brown believes that, with the power of memory and love, home can be born like a covenant in each of us, and that "Some ancient hope, like winter light, is allied with the gravity of stars."

She loves the buzz of performing and the magical adulation from the crowd, and she counts the boys as her best friends, even if they do fight like cat and dog all the time. But Ellie's feelings for Dylan have turned from platonic to something else, just lately, and that's tricky, because Ellie is going out with Andy. It's getting more difficult to cope with her feelings and with Dylan's moody, self-destructive impulses, so when Ellie secretly auditions for a Pop Idol style talent show, she knows she's going to have to make a decision about where her musical future lies--as a mass-market pop act or a credible indie singer with a cool and original band like Blackstar. Ellie sings a song written by Dylan for her final performance on the talent show and wins. The crowd can't get enough of her, or the song it seems, and that's when Ellie's conscience kicks in. Can she really betray Dylan to serve her own needs? And does her heart really belong with Blackstar after all? As she stands to receive her winning ovation, Ellie makes a courageous decision.

Autobiography of a Face

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grealy, Lucy / Patchett, Ann, PUBLISHER: Harper Perennial, ""I spent five years of my life being treated for cancer, but since then I've spent fifteen years being treated for nothing other than looking different from everyone else. It was the pain from that, from feeling ugly, that I always viewed as the great tragedy of my life. The fact that I had cancer seemed minor in comparison."" At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. In this strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. Vividly portraying the pain of peer rejection and the guilty pleasures of wanting to be special, Grealy captures with unique insight what it is like as a child and young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.
