Human history on drugs : an utterly scandalous but entirely truthful look at history under the influence / by Kelly, Sam(Samuel Ezra)author;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-367) and index."A lively, hilarious, and entirely truthful look at the druggie side of history's most famous figures, including Shakespeare, Queen Victoria, and the Beatles, from debut author (and viral historical TikToker with nearly 100K followers) Sam Kelly Did you know that Alexander the Great was a sloppy drunk, William Shakespeare was a stoner, and George Washington drank a spoonful of opium every night to staunch the pain from his fake teeth? Or how about the fact that China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi, ingested liquid mercury in an (ironic) attempt to live forever, or that Alexander Shulgin, inventor of no less than 230 new psychedelic drugs, was an employee of the DEA? In Human History on Drugs, historian Sam Kelly introduces us to the history we weren't taught in school, offering up irreverent and hysterical commentary as he sheds light on some truly shocking aspects of the historical characters we only thought we knew. With chapters spanning from Ancient Greece ("The Oracle of Delphi Was Huffing Fumes") and the Victorian Era ("Vincent van Gogh Ate Yellow Paint") to Hollywood's Golden Age ("Judy Garland Was Drugged by Grown-Ups") and modern times ("Carl Sagan Got Astronomically High"), Kelly's research spans all manner of eras, places, and, of course, drugs. History is rife with drug use and drug users, and Human History on Drugs takes us through those highs (pun intended) and lows on a wittily entertaining ride that uncovers their seriously unexpected impact on our past"-- Provided by publisher.

No one at the wheel : driverless cars and the road of the future / by Schwartz, Samuel I.,author.(CARDINAL)783580; Kelly, Karen,1958-author.(CARDINAL)483145;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: you can't put this car in reverse -- Yesterday, today, and tomorrow: the future is now -- Infrastructure: less is more -- Traffic & the future of land use -- Business and consumerism -- Saving lives' are AVs good for our health & safety? -- Makers, drivers, passengers, and pedestrians -- hard questions and moral dilemmas -- A way forward."The driverless vehicle revolution will soon transform highways, cities, workplaces, and laws across the globe. Here's how. Our time at the wheel is coming to an end. Driving a car will soon become akin to driving a horse-drawn carriage: a quaint and outdated pastime. Sam Schwartz, a preeminent transportation expert, shows that the radical shift in transportation around the next corner will affect every aspect of our personal and working lives. The ramifications will be dramatic and the transition will be far from seamless. It will make car ownership unusual, and parking a thing of the past; it will overturn the job market for the one in seven Americans who work in transportation-related industries; it will place moral decisions in the hands of algorithms; it will further erode our privacy; and, like every other computer controlled, data-driven process, it will be vulnerable to hacking. Right now, every major carmaker is working on bringing autonomous vehicles to consumers. The fleets are getting ready to roll. Sam Schwartz shows us just how profound that change will be--and how we can engineer the best version of the driverless future for all of us."
