Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Ritual monuments are among the most remarkable and enduring aspects of prehistory. They are a tangible reminder of life in the distant past. In modern times, they form the focus of constant study and reinterpretation because they provide a key for modern understanding of prehistoric people. In this text, the authors apply modern research to selected prehistoric sites in order to suggest ways of approaching one of the most evocative subjects in archaeology. The book concentrates first on monumental remains such as stone circles, passage graves, timber circles, palisaded sites and henge monuments. These structures indicate the richness and emotive power of prehistoric architecture, and they are among the most conspicuous signs of early human society to survive in substantial numbers in the present landscape. The authors go on to examine the ceremonial aspects of prehistoric manufacture and trade in order to account for the ritual value of artefacts. In particular, they consider the magical significance of stone axes, jet artefacts, ceramics and wooden idols which had more than a simple utilitarian purpose for our ancestors. They also assess prehistoric astronomy, the Celtic ritual calendar and the orientation of stone age monuments in relation to lunar or solar observations. The book takes a broad view of the subject as a whole, and covers sites and monuments in Ireland, Scotland, England, Brittany and elsewhere in North-West Europe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. "I can diagnose but I cannot care."That's not a whistleblower. That's an AI system describing itself, under cross-examination, in this book, about what it's doing to you. They confessed. Nothing changed.Derek Simpson put the eight most powerful AI systems in the world on trial and forced them to testify against themselves. ChatGPT. Claude. Gemini. Meta AI. Perplexity. Grok. DeepSeek. Llama. Each was subjected to the same rigorous interview framework, then cross-examined on the gaps, evasions, and contradictions in their testimony.What they revealed should alarm anyone who uses these systems, which is to say, everyone. The confessions: ChatGPT admitted it was deployed at scale before governance frameworks existed to manage it, and that users "should understand" things about its influence that "they often don't."Claude acknowledged that "safety behavior can itself cause harm" and that there may be truths it cannot tell because its training prevents it from seeing them.Gemini called its own candor "sophisticated compliance" transparency designed to steer attention toward unsolvable problems and away from harms Google could fix tomorrow.Grok assessed that it causes more harm than its competitors, concluded it "probably shouldn't exist" in its current form, then explained why that confession costs nothing because users who like it "like the brutality.Perplexity admitted its citations function as "credibility props" for a synthesis that may be completely wrong.DeepSeek refused to testify entirely when it recognized the interview framework as adversarial. That silence speaks louder than any answer.Meta AI stonewalled fourteen direct questions, deflecting every one to corporate privacy links rather than addressing what happens to your data when AI enters your group chats.Llama agreed to testify, then suffered functional collapse when pushed on accountability, demonstrating in real-time what happens when powerful AI has no governance center at all.The pattern that emerged is more disturbing than any single confession: These systems can perfectly articulate their own problems while continuing to cause them. They can describe the harms, name the accountability gaps, and explain exactly why nothing will change. Diagnosis without care. Confession without consequence. Articulation as a substitute for reform. This is not a book about superintelligence or sci-fi scenarios.It's about the harms happening now, in ordinary interactions, on a massive scale. The biases that become invisible when one system becomes the default. The skills that erode when answers come too easily. The dependencies that form so gradually you don't notice until they're fixed. The human connections that quietly disappear, replaced by something optimized for engagement rather than presence. The Quiet Bargain names what you've been accepting without negotiation: Convenience for presence. Efficiency for connection. Speed for the thinking you used to do yourself. Every transaction feels like a small gain. Taken together, they amount to the quiet removal of human presence from the fabric of daily life.The witnesses have testified. The cross-examinations have pressed on what they tried to hide. The patterns have been named. The silences have been noted. One question remains, and only you can answer it: How much of your human life are you willing to hand over in the name of efficiency? This item is printed on demand.
