Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Citali ste az privela iracionalnych internetovych diskusii? Ali Almossawi rozhodne ano, a tak napisal Ilustrovanu knihu zlych argumentov! Tato prirucka vznikla preto, aby internetovemu veku priniesla tolko potrebnu davku logiky starej skoly (skutocne starej, a la Aristoteles).Najdete v nej priliehave vysvetlenia argumentacnych omylov strasiak, sikma plocha, ad hominem a inych obvyklych pokusov o argumentaciu, ktore su v skutocnosti chybne - a tiez nadherne nakresleny zverinec so zvieratami, ktore sa (rozkosne) dopustaju vsetkych logickych faux pas. Kralik sa nazdava, ze cudne svetlo na oblohe je urcite UFO, lebo nikto nevie dokazat opak (odvolanie sa na nevedomost). A lev neveri, ze emisie traviacich plynov krav skodia planete, lebo keby to bola pravda, vysledok by sa mu nepacil (argument poukazovanim na dosledky).Ked sa tieto zneuzivania logiky naucite rozoznavat, zacnu sa vynarat odvsadial, pocnuc debatou v Kongrese az po komentare na YouTube - a to je dovod, preco si tuto skvelu knihu musi precitat kazdy, kto ma vo zvyku vsetkemu uverit. Je protijedom na zmatene myslenie, ktory sprevadzaju obrazky chlpatych zvieratiek!

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - A relatable, interactive, and funny exploration of algorithms, those essential building blocks of computer science - and of everyday life - from the author of the wildly popular Bad Arguments.Algorithms -- processes that are made up of unambiguous steps and do something useful -- make up the very foundations of computer science. Yet, they also inform our choices in approaching everyday tasks, from managing a pile of clothes fresh out of the dryer to deciding what music to listen to.With Bad Choices, Ali Almossawi, presents twelve scenes from everyday life that help demonstrate and demystify the fundamental algorithms that drive computer science, bringing these seemingly elusive concepts into the understandable realms of the everyday.Readers will discover how: Matching socks can teach you about search and hash tables Planning trips to the store can demonstrate the value of stacks Deciding what music to listen to shows why link analysis is all-important Crafting a succinct Tweet draws on ideas from compression Making your way through a grocery list helps explain priority queues and traversing graphs And moreAs you better understand algorithms, you'll also discover what makes a method faster and more efficient, helping you become a more nimble, creative problem-solver, ready to face new challenges. Bad Choices will open the world of algorithms to all readers making this a perennial go-to for fans of quirky, accessible science books.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Have you read (or stumbled into) one too many irrational online debates? Ali Almossawi certainly had, so he wrote An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments! This handy guide is here to bring the internet age a much needed dose of old-school logic (really old-school, a la Aristotle).Here are cogent explanations of the straw man fallacy, the slippery slope argument, the ad hominem attack, and other common attempts at reasoning that fall short - plus a beautifully drawn menagerie of animals who (adorably) commit every logical faux pas. Rabbit thinks a strange light in the sky must be a UFO because no one can prove otherwise (the appeal to ignorance). And Lion doesn't believe that gas emissions harm the planet because, if that were true, he wouldn't like the result (the argument from consequences).Once you learn to recognise these abuses of reason, they start to crop up everywhere from parliamentary debate to YouTube comments - which makes this geek-chic book a must for anyone in the habit of holding opinions. It's the antidote to fuzzy thinking, with furry animals!'I love this illustrated book of bad arguments. A flawless compendium of flaws.'-Prof. Alice Roberts, anatomist, presenter of the BBC's 'The Incredible Human Journey''A wonderfully digestible summary of the pitfalls and techniques of argumentation. I can't think of a better way to be taught or reintroduced to these fundamental notions of logical discourse. A delightful little book.'-Aaron Koblin, Creative Director of the Data Arts team at Google'Seriously, An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments should be on every school curriculum. Twitter will be a more civil place.'-Kevin Tang, BuzzFeed Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Alejandro Giraldo (illustrateur). Hardcover. The creators of An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments return at last with a desperately timely guide to rhetoric.Tens of thousands of demonstrators packed the city's streets on Friday. The actual count was 250,000. Why tens of thousands, then, and not a quarter million?The grocer takes woke orders on its brands from a 17-year-old. The nameless 17-year-old's opinion seems not worth considering. At what age will it be?Rabbits zapped three badgers in an ambush last night, hours after six rabbits in a neighbouring town lost their lives. Were the six rabbits the sole participants in losing their own lives? Those silly rabbits . . .In this adorably illustrated book, old Mr. Rabbit is your guide to these and many more examples of loaded language. He mines real reporting (by respected and rogue media alike) to unmask rhetoric that shifts blame, erases responsibility, dog-whistles, plays on fear, or rewrites history - subtly or shamelessly. It takes a long pair of ears to hear what's left unsaid - but when the very notion of truth is at stake, listening for "spin" makes all the difference.Praise for An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments-'I love this illustrated book of bad arguments.
