Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. Photo-insert design by Wynn Dan, Book design, Bernard Klein Ilustrador. 1st Edition. Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history--but a history that until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, he himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier's directness. He writes of the anxieties and missteps as well as the triumphs that marked his rise to four-star general, National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, mastermind of Desert Storm, and now the man the country would most like to draft as President just as it drafted General Eisenhower before him in 1952. We see Powell growing up, getting into mischief, going to church with his father, working in a bottling plant, joining the ROTC. We follow him as a green young lieutenant on his first foreign posting in Germany, where his ascent is nearly aborted by a blunder on the day he is assigned to guard an atomic cannon. We go on patrol with him into the jungles of Vietnam, where he is wounded, and then, in the first surprise turn of his career, into the every-bit-as-dangerous thickets of Washington bureaucracy as a Pentagon aide in the Carter administration. We see how he handled the humiliations inflicted on him as a black soldier traveling in the Deep South and the unnerving challenges be faced as a battalion commander in Korea, where the army guarding the border with North Korea was plagued by drugs, drinking, a lack of discipline, and racial tension. We are edge-of-the-seat spectators to some of the great international dramas of our time--Desert Storm, the invasion of Panama, the dark dealings of Iran-contra with Ollie North and Bill Casey, the climatic meetings with Gorbachev. And we are present also at the encounters with President Clinton on the controversial question of gays in the military. Colin Powell, moving easily between the Army and high positions in both Republican and Democratic administrations has a unique perspective. As an active soldier, he has experienced the sharp end of political decisions in Washington. As an advice to three Presidents, he has seen how policy is shaped and he has shaped it himself. It was Powell whom President Reagan summoned to the White House to help National Security Advisor Frank Carlucci clean up the mess after the Iran-contra debacle. It was Powell whom President Clinton called back from private life to accompany forever President Carter on his eve-of-war mission to Haiti. Haiti was a consummation of Powell's translation from soldier to statement and popular leader. Not since Dwight Eisenhower has a figure in public life been held in such universal esteem or had so few negatives. Powell gives us behind-the-scenes portraits of Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, of Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf, and many others. This is a book of political excitement and disclosure, but it is much more. It is a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. The book jacket shows some shelf wear. This is an oversized book and will require additional postage.

A novel theory of pain, according to which pains are imperativescommands issued by the body, ordering you to protect the injured part. In What the Body Commands, Colin Klein proposes and defends a novel theory of pain. Klein argues that pains are imperative; they are sensations with a content, and that content is a command to protect the injured part of the body. He terms this view "imperativism about pain," and argues that imperativism can account for two puzzling features of pain: its strong motivating power and its uninformative nature. Klein argues that the biological purpose of pain is homeostatic; like hunger and thirst, pain helps solve a challenge to bodily integrity. It does so by motivating you to act in ways that help the body recover. If you obey pain's command, you get better (in ordinary circumstances). He develops his account to handle a variety of pain phenomena and applies it to solve a number of historically puzzling cases. Klein's intent is to defend the imperativist view in a pure formwithout requiring pain to represent facts about the world. Klein presents a model of imperative content showing that intrinsically motivating sensations are best understood as imperatives, and argues that pain belongs to this class. He considers the distinction between pain and suffering; explains how pain motivates; addresses variations among pains; and offers an imperativist account of maladaptive pains, pains that don't appear to hurt, masochism, and why pain feels bad.

Black boards with silver spine lettering. Very Fine in a very fine dust jacket. Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight clean copy. Octavo, 210 pages, with index. The book develops Klein's imperative theory of pain, proposing that pain serves as a command that directs attention and action, rather than as a mere signal or indicator of damage; it combines philosophical argument with evidence from neuroscience and psychology. Klein, an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist, is known for his work on the philosophy of mind, pain, and consciousness; this was his first book.

The essential reader on the philosophical foundations and implications of artificial intelligence, now comprehensively updated for the twenty-first century.The essential reader on the philosophical foundations and implications of artificial intelligence, now comprehensively updated for the twenty-first century.In the quarter century since the publication of John Haugeland's Mind Design II, computer scientists have hit many of their objectives for successful artificial intelligence. Computers beat chess grandmasters, driverless cars navigate streets, autonomous robots vacuum our homes, and ChatGPT answers existential queries in iambic pentameter on command. Engineering has made incredible strides. But have we made progress in understanding and building minds? Comprehensively updated by Carl Craver and Colin Klein to reflect the astonishing ubiquity of machine learning in modern life, Mind Design III offers an essential collection of classic and contemporary essays on the philosophical foundations and implications of artificial intelligence. Contributions from a diverse range of philosophers and computer scientists address the nature of computation, the nature of thought, and the question of whether computers can be made to think. With extensive new material reflecting the explosive growth and diversification of AI approaches, this classic reader equips students to assess the possibility of, and progress toward, building minds out of computers.New edition highlights-New chapters on advances in deep neural networks, reinforcement learning, and causal learningNew material on the complementary intersection of neuroscience and AIOrganized thematically rather than chronologicallyBrand new introductions to each section that include suggestions for coursework and further reading "Revision and expansion of classic cogsci/Bradford Books text from the 1980s (Mind Design I) & 1990s (Mind Design II)"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
