The Marshall Plan book cover
The Marshall Plan
Dawn of the Cold War
Benn Steil - 2018-02-13
Рейтинг Goodreads
This thrilling account delves into the history behind the Marshall Plan, a massive undertaking to reconstruct western Europe as a bulwark against communism after World War II. Focusing on the years 1947 to 1949, the author brings to life the critical events marking the collapse of postwar US-Soviet relations, and the birth of the Cold War. With fascinating new material from American, Russian, German, and other European archives, this book sheds light on the tenuous balance of power and uncertain order of the late 1940s, providing critical context for understanding today’s international landscape. A must-read for history buffs and anyone interested in global politics.

Dr. Toyin Falola was the first man to have a tremendous influence on my view of Nigeria, after reading his book "A History of Nigeria",15 years ago. When I saw him interviewed Pres. Obasanjo, I was happy that he still cares about Nigeria despite all the challenges. God Bless him      источник

Сверхдержавы искусственного интеллекта book cover
Сверхдержавы искусственного интеллекта
Китай, Кремниевая долина и новый мировой порядок
Kai-fu Lee - 2018-09-25
Рейтинг Goodreads
Книга о перспективах искусственного интеллекта, написанная одним из главных экспертов по теме и одним из 100 самых влиятельных людей мира по версии The Times. Кай-Фу Ли — один из самых авторитетных людей в области ИИ в мире. Ученый, венчурный инвестор и человек с головокружительной карьерой (Apple, Silicon Graphics, Microsoft, Google). Он утверждает, что драматические изменения, которых все ждут от искусственного интеллекта, наступят скорее, чем предполагается. Но связаны они будут не с «думающими машинами, которые захватят мир», а с экономическими последствиями. Гонка между сверхдержавами, Китаем и США, может привести человечество к катастрофе: ИИ позволит богатым разбогатеть еще больше, а разрыв между ними и бедными станет огромным. Эксперты предсказывают, что ИИ лишит рабочих мест «голубых воротничков», а Кай-Фу Ли говорит, что глубокое обучение лишит работы и «белых воротничков» тоже. Но автор предлагает и решения, потому что, как бы ни были впечатляющи успехи на поле ИИ, есть вещи, доступные только людям. Машины не смогут заменить воспитателей, сообщать диагнозы больным, заботиться о пожилых и, например, дрессировать собак. Это книга о том, как сверхдержавы ИИ стали таковыми, о текущем положении и прогнозах. Они могут быть утешительными, но только если помнить об ответственности, которую налагают на нас технологии. А еще, в конечном счете, это книга о человечности и любви. Для кого эта книга Для новаторов, руководителей и предпринимателей, которые изучают тему искусственного интеллекта, чтобы быть первыми в своей сфере. Книга для всех, кто интересуется темой будущего, развития искусственного интеллекта и противостоянием США и Китая.

Richard Haass - 2017-01-10

The rules and institutions that upheld the world since World War II are coming to an end, leaving the United States unable to shape the world in its image.

He argues for a new global operating system, that embraces the reality of distributed power and weaker states. A World in Disarray features a detailed description of how the U.S. should approach relationships with China, Russia, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Haass examines dysfunctional American politics, mounting debt, and the lack of agreement regarding the U.S.'s place in the world, while painting a comprehensive picture of the current world's condition.
