We have translated the book The Daring Invention of Logarithm Tables to German. The book is now available at Amazon.

Some time ago it became apparent that we apparently are in an epidemic of errors: Many of us waste endless hours on social media, overeat, shun physical exercise, and take a variety of drugs to combat behavior-induced ills. How is this possible?
That question prompted a search for results of brain science that explain this behavior. The book Subconscious Blunder: a 21st-Century Epidemic is the result of this effort. In 26 chapters it lays out the causes of this epidemic and how each of us can combat it.

Why do some Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects succeed beyond all expectations while others fail miserably?

Amazing achievements like the Deep Blue computer and the Google search engine contrast sharply against utter failures like the Watson Health expert system and the mayhem and even death caused by some self-driving cars.
What determines the success or failure of AI projects? How can one avoid failures in the future?

Our most recent book Artificial Intelligence: Why AI projects Succeed or Fail uses brain science and philosophy to provide answers.

If you work in AI, this book helps you avoid major pitfalls. If you are outside AI, you learn what it is all about and what it can and cannot do.

We have translated a report by Friedrich Hülster about the collapse of Berlin in 1945 where he describes in terse and unvarnished language how he, his wife, and two other couples survived the cataclysmic event.

The resulting book is available at Amazon in Kindle and paperback format.

What is the nature of knowledge? What is time? Our just published book Wittgenstein and Brain Science: Understanding the World proposes answers to these and other centuries-old, and so far unresolved, questions about the world using results of modern brain science and a key method of the philosopher Wittgenstein.

The book relies on the same tools to show why some of these questions about the world simply cannot be answered. For example: Do we have free will?

The arguments rely on a very general concept of subconscious and conscious neuroprocesses that acquire information and react in some way. A hypothesis consistent with the results of modern brain science specifies how these processes interact.

Why would you want to read this book?

• If you are interested in the fundamental questions about the world, this book gives you a new way to look at them.
• The tools help you deal with the flood of information produced by the media. They help you decide whether material is relevant or manipulative drivel.
