À propos de cet audio

How the study of causality revolutionized science and the world

"Correlation does not imply causation". This mantra has been invoked by scientists for decades and has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet, and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: It lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

interesting content but amount of algebraic formulae makes it difficult to follow. May purchase a physical copy.

interesting but challenging in audio format

I guess this is the same for any scientific book, but this shouldn't have been made into an audio book. A very talented author that has succeeded in making the technical subject matter accessible to non-experts. The performance was also spot on. It's just that to follow and fully appreciate the book, one needs to see and re-see the diagrams and formulae; a task made doubly cumbersome by the terrible support of the audible app for included PDF file.

This shouldn't have been an audiobook
