Beschreibung

Arctic Tech Failure examines the critical intersection of technology and human survival in extreme cold environments, focusing on the consequences when essential tools and systems break down. By blending historical analysis with scientific investigation, the book explores how polar explorers have adapted to the loss of vital technologies. A key insight is that over-reliance on technology can create vulnerabilities, demonstrating that while technology boosts exploration, fundamental survival skills remain crucial. The book delves into historical expeditions, highlighting instances where equipment failure led to life-threatening situations, and contrasts these with contemporary scientific understanding of human adaptation to technology-deprived environments. Readers will discover how the loss of communication or navigation tools drastically altered survival chances. It also addresses the physiological and psychological effects of technology loss, referencing scientific studies on cold exposure and stress. Beginning with the concept of "technological dependence," the book progresses through historical cases, analyzes the effects of technology loss, and offers practical recommendations for future endeavors. The book challenges the increasing dependence on sophisticated technology in polar regions and advocates for a balanced approach that prioritizes fundamental survival skills and a deep understanding of the environment, making it valuable for polar researchers, historians, and anyone interested in human resilience in extreme conditions.

When Animals Dream - The Hidden...

David M. Pena-Guzman

Are humans the only dreamers on Earth? What goes on in the minds of animals when they sleep? When Animals Dream brings together behavioral and neuroscientific research on animal sleep with philosophical theories of dreaming. It shows that dreams provide an invaluable window into the cognitive and emotional lives of nonhuman animals, giving us access to a seemingly inaccessible realm of animal experience. 
 
 
 
David Peña-Guzmán uncovers evidence of animal dreaming throughout the scientific literature, suggesting that many animals run "reality simulations" while asleep, with a dream-ego moving through a dynamic and coherent dreamscape. He builds a convincing case for animals as conscious beings and examines the thorny scientific, philosophical, and ethical questions it raises. Once we accept that animals dream, we incur a host of moral obligations and have no choice but to rethink our views about who animals are and the interior lives they lead. 
 
 
 
A mesmerizing journey into the otherworldly domain of nonhuman consciousness, When Animals Dream carries profound implications for contemporary debates about animal cognition, animal ethics, and animal rights, challenging us to regard animals as beings who matter, and for whom things matter.

Digital Capitalism and...

Sabine Pfeiffer

Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.

Sickening - Anti-Black Racism...

Anne Pollock

A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
 
 
 
From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
 
 
 
Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.

Cashvertising Online - How to...

Drew Eric Whitman

The latest book from Dr. Direct™ will show you how to master online advertising and enhance your social media strategies. This is the perfect companion to the author’s bestselling book Ca$hvertising. Cashvertising revealed the secrets of ad agencies to the masses. With Cashvertising Online Whitman reveals even more and how to implement his advice in clear-language to increase your bottom line. Most books discussing online ads teach things like: how to create accounts, how to select demographics, what options to select (video vs. carousel vs. slideshow, etc.), and other topics like maximizing the use of Facebook pixels for fine-tuning your target audience. To create successful Facebook, Instagram, Twitter ads, not only do you need to know copywriting basics, but you also need to understand the highly personal nature of the medium. The successful copywriter needs to make the shift to the highly personal “you and me” approach and learn how to sell without expressing the typical appearance of salesmanship. Likewise, a number of books teaching email marketing primarily focus on things like mailing lists, segmentation, funnels, and automation. All important stuff to be sure, but unless your sales copy is persuasive, these things aren’t worth a damn. The majority of these books spend little time teaching readers how to use the power of advertising and consumer psychology in the Facebook and email environments to cause people to actually respond—the whole purpose of advertising! Cashvertising Online is not a book on general copywriting. Instead, it examines the hidden principles specific to actual successful online ads and email promotions and the numerous and potent psychological techniques they employ that make them so persuasive.
