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
