[SIGCIS-Members] New Cortada Book

[James Cortada]

I wanted to share with my colleagues that Bloomsbury Publishing has just
published my new book about information.  This one is about tacit
knowledge.  I have completed another book, *Beyond the Facts. *This one is
about tacit knowledge—what we learn through experience that remains in our
subconscious until we need to use it.  People know more tacit knowledge
(wisdom) than explicit knowledge (facts, data, etc.).  Tacit knowledge is
difficult to explain and now with AI consuming so much explicit
information, we need to better understand tacit forms so that we can
appreciate its relationship to AI and explicit knowledge.  I integrated
findings of brain scientists and the thinking of philosophers into a short
book that describes tacit knowledge and how it is normally applied.  I want
to increase awareness of the vast amount of information and wisdom that we
stockpile between our ears.  Attached is a coupon for a discounted price
for the book, if ordered directly from the publisher.  If you read the
book, please give me some feedback, because this is a really hard topic to
understand and I will probably have to keep working on it.  Jim Cortada
