Why has so much of our recent attention been focused on AI while RI is all but forgotten? And why are we spending so much energy debating the future of AI rather than that of its human original? Why can’t those who are concerned about AI and those who care about RI talk to one another using a common language? iMind: Artificial and Real Intelligence is the first comprehensive popular science account of AI and RI. Unique in scope, it discusses the interdisciplinary science of AI, RI, smartphones, smart sensors, microchips, and the brain-mind connection. It explores what is beyond the physical, including mindfulness and spirituality, and how they can impact our wellbeing in the here and now, and how they can help us achieve a healthy and fulfilling old age.

Internet and email have changed the way today's designers must view traditional letterheads, which, to the surprise of some industry experts, have become more important than ever. As more and more business is being done electronically, an even greater emphasis must be placed on letterhead, business cards, and folder design to ensure that they are in tune with the look and feel of a company's website. This can get tricky, as creating a design that looks good in print (300 dpi) as well as on the web (72 dpi) is not always the easiest task to accomplish. But in Clio award-winning designer David E. Carter's comprehensive resource, readers will discover how to create stunning designs and letterheads that work well on both the printed and the digital page. The Big Book of Designs for Letterheads and Web Sites displays literally hundreds of examples that help designers recognize the parameters of print and web letterhead design, where they work together seamlessly, and where some creative integration must be done. This valuable resource makes it clear that the web revolution has not rendered print communications obsolete but has, in effect, made the design and letterhead on print communications even more important when conveying a company's message and keeping it consistent. - The author has a Clio and seven Emmy Awards to his credit - Contains hundreds of working, real-world examples
