Book excerpt: 'A powerful and often lyrical book ... Fascinating and insightful in equal measure' MARK MIODOWNIK, author of Stuff Matters and Liquid 'Ali's enthusiasm for energy infrastructure electrifies this engaging tour of the people and structures that power our modern world' GAIA VINCE, author of Nomad Century and Adventures in the Anthropocene 'Highly recommend ... a warm and educational read' ROMA AGRAWAL, author of Built and Nuts and Bolts __________ We rarely think about the energy systems that prop up our existence. With hot water, lighting and digital entertainment all available at the flick of a switch, it's easy to underestimate the vast global network that makes these things possible. Growing up in Iraq, Yasmin Ali regularly experienced power cuts - ironic for a country rich in oil and sunshine. Now as an engineer working in energy, Yasmin has a deep appreciation for what these resources mean for our lives. In Power Up she takes us on a journey across the globe to reveal the bigger picture, from solar farms shimmering in the desert to power stations hidden deep in the mountains. We discover where we get energy from, how it is moved and used around the world - and why we need to understand the whole system if we want to transition towards a clean, green future. Power Up is a definitive picture of the intricate world that humanity has built, and a rallying cry to face the challenges of climate change using the power at our fingertips.

Download or read book Satisficing Games and Decision Making written by Wynn C. Stirling and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-03 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our day-to-day lives we constantly make decisions which are simply 'good enough' rather than optimal. Most computer-based decision-making algorithms, on the other hand, doggedly seek only the optimal solution based on rigid criteria and reject any others. In this book, Professor Stirling outlines an alternative approach, using novel algorithms and techniques which can be used to find satisficing solutions. Building on traditional decision and game theory, these techniques allow decision-making systems to cope with more subtle situations where self and group interests conflict, perfect solutions can't be found and human issues need to be taken into account - in short, more closely modelling the way humans make decisions. The book will therefore be of great interest to engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working on artificial intelligence and expert systems.
