During the next ten years the human race is destined to finally discover the facts about its true origins and destiny. As part of this discovery we have to address the overwhelmingly important question of how the phenomena of evil came into the world and into the consciousness of the Earth's human inhabitants. This is a question which should be on the mind of every living man and woman. It has been with us for millennia and it will be with the children of the future if we do not come upon the answer now. We have left the question of evil in the hands of theologians and scientists for too long. This was surely a mistake for, as the casualty statistics clearly testify, the institutions of religion and science have been the worst purveyors of evil that this planet has ever had to endure. After centuries of prevarication and criminality we can no longer afford to look to these edifices to answer the all-important conundrum of evil.

Behaviorism (Behavior Analysis) is a growing field. As more people get comfortable with the idea of a true science of human behavior, we will make strides in predicting and controlling human behavior. In the future, the controllers or nurturers (parents, teachers, coaches, military leaders, politicians, bosses, etc.) will have an evidenced-based science of human behavior to change people in positive ways. Effective checks can also be developed to control the new science of human behavior as B.F. Skinner recommends. This science and knowledge sure beats the haphazard techniques politicians, bosses, etc. use to influence people to do the right behaviors in order to achieve a common goal.
The International Dictionary of Artificial Intelligence is the first up-to-date reference volume on
this important, emerging discipline. Artificial intelligence is rapidly
becoming the foundation discipline for thousands of new applications in
business, science, education, engineering, and research. This important book is a must reference for all
disciplines--business, science, education, and engineering. It contains
over 2,500 entries--defined, explained, and illustrated--and detailed
discussion of major concepts as well as topics in related disciplines.
This volume is completely cross-referenced, has an annotated
bibliography and an extensive appendix of Internet sites on the latest
trends in artificial intelligence.
This accessible volume provides readers - whether students new to the field or just interested members of the lay public - with the essential ideas of genetics using a minimum of jargon and mathematics. Concepts are introduced in a progressive order so that more complicated ideas build on simpler ones, and each is discussed in small, bite-sized segments so that they can be more easily understood.
Genetics 101 provides readers of all levels a brief introduction for understanding a science that is so essential to the advancement of science today. It covers:
- Genetics as a science
- The applications of genetics, including developmental genetics and behavioral genetics
- Genetics counseling, and other ways in which genetics impacts our lives
- The future of the science of genetics, including genetically modified organisms, cloning, and transgenics
