Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Cedric Wright, Philip Hyde, David Simmons, Lee Talbot (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine, as noted; see description and scans. San Francisco: The Sierra Club, 1957. The June, 1957 issue of The Sierra Club Bulletin, that being Volume 42, Number 6. Octavo, glosst perfect-bound wraps, 92 pp. Fine, as originally received, though as-originally-received in this specific case did include tiny micro wear at the top edge, front cover - barely visible in that scan, which see. Otherwise, flawless. Extraordinarily handsome example. Cover photo, by Cedric Wright, is of the John Muir Trail in the High Sierra; the theme of the issue - Wildlife in Our Civilization - was that of the Fifth Biennial Wildlife Conference, from which most of this issue's content was taken. The SC doing its environmental activism early and often, as it always has, so much better than so many others. There is no "civilization" in the normal sense within, of course; just gorgeous photos by masters like Wright, Philip Hyde, David Simmons and Lee Talbot, with memorable accompanying text (see scan of contents page for details) by those gentlemen as well as David R. Brower, A. Starker Leopold, Lowell Sumner, William Bridge Cook, Don M. Wilson and of course editor August Frugé, on topics including the Northern Cascades, Beavers, Wilderness Fung, Spider Rock and much else. The photography is, of course, a very impressive tour de force by the mentioned foursome. Please see scans. LSC2.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why Socialism Always Fails - And Why AI Can't Save ItHuman Nature, Corruption, and the Illusion of Machine SalvationFrom the Berlin Wall to Caracas, history is filled with failed socialist experiments. Each promised equality, but all collapsed under the weight of corruption, cronyism, and the fatal flaw of human nature. Productivity withered when effort went unrewarded, black markets thrived as shortages spread, and leaders enriched themselves while ordinary people starved - sometimes hunting flamingos, zoo animals, and even stray pets just to survive.So why, in the 21st century, is socialism making a comeback? From city halls in America to movements abroad, politicians promise "free" housing, health care, and education - while ignoring the wreckage left by previous experiments.Now a new idea emerges: maybe artificial intelligence can make socialism work. With its power to analyze data, forecast demand, and allocate resources, AI is seen by some as the long-awaited fix. But this book asks the hard questions: Can AI overcome corruption, greed, and favoritism - or will it simply reflect them?What happens when governments turn AI into the new authoritarian enforcer?If humans remain in charge, won't the same flaws persist?And if we hand full control to AI, do we risk replacing tyranny by men with tyranny by machines?Drawing on vivid historical case studies - from Mao's famine-ridden China, to the collapse of the Soviet bloc, to the desperate poverty of modern Venezuela - Don Sumner makes the case that socialism always fails, not because of poor math, but because of human nature itself. And he warns that AI won't fix the problem - it may simply mask it, until freedom is gone and society is enslaved to machines.If you've ever wondered whether socialism could be redeemed, or whether AI is the solution, this book offers the blunt, unflinching answer: No. This item is printed on demand.
