Humans vs robots: who really has the upper hand? 🤖 There's so much talk about the threat posed by intelligent machines that it sometimes seems as though we should surrender to our robot overlords now. But Junaid Mubeen isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet. As far as he is concerned, we have the edge over machines because of a remarkable system of thought developed over the millennia. It's familiar to us all, but often badly taught and misrepresented in popular discourse - maths. Computers are brilliant at totting up sums, pattern-seeking and performing, well, computation. For all things calculation, machines reign supreme. But Junaid identifies seven areas of intelligence where humans can retain a crucial edge. And in exploring these areas, he opens up a fascinating world where we can develop our uniquely human mathematical superpowers. Out on 2nd June 🤖 #junaidmubeen #mathematicalintelligence #mathsbook #nonfiction #bookstagram #igreads #bookish #bookworm

Tony is facing eviction instead of enjoying retirement; Limarra isn't 'homeless enough' to get help from the council; and for Kelly and her asthmatic son Morgan, another new rented house is a matter of life and death. This is twenty-first century Britain, where millions are trying to build lives in privately rented accommodation, which creates profit for landlords but not safe and stable homes for tenants. With the decline in social housing, and the disparity between the inflation of house prices and the inflation of wages, it’s no wonder the UK is facing the direst of housing crises. In this powerful and timely new book, the @theipaper’s housing correspondent Vicky Spratt explores the urgent story of this country’s biggest emergency, as told through the lives of those it most affects. #Tenants is out now. #Bookstagram #BooksOfIG #NonFiction #HousingCrisis #HousingEmergency #Politics #Homelessness #GenerationRent #PrivateRenting #BookOfTheYear #BestBooksOf2022

'I am so grateful for this beautiful, honest book. It has helped me immeasurably' – Pandora Sykes Tomorrow, we publish the paperback of best-selling author Emma Jane Unsworth’s raw and relatable memoir #AfterTheStorm. Six months after the birth of her son, Emma Jane Unsworth finds herself in the eye of a storm. Nothing – from pregnancy to birth and beyond – has gone as she expected. A birth plan? It might as well have been a rough draft! Furious and exhausted, her life is the complete opposite of what it used to be. How did she end up here? In this brave, vital account of postnatal depression, Emma tells her story of despair and recovery. She tackles the biggest taboos around motherhood and mental health, from botched stitches and bleeding nipples to anger and shame. How does pregnancy adapt our brains? Is postnatal depression a natural reaction to the trauma of modern motherhood? And are people's attitudes finally changing? After the Storm is a celebration of survival, holding out a hand to women everywhere. #AfterTheStorm #EmmaJaneUnsworth #Bookstagram #NonFiction #WellcomeCollection #Animals #Adults #PostnatalDepression #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
