Beschreibung

Turning Points examines pivotal moments in world history where transformative innovations reshaped societies. The book argues that human progress isn't a straight line but a series of leaps spurred by breakthroughs. For instance, the printing press didn't just spread information; it catalyzed social movements and altered political power. Similarly, agriculture's rise allowed for settled communities, leading to specialization and the development of complex civilizations. The book explores how these historical turning points are interconnected, with earlier innovations paving the way for later advancements.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive analysis, it begins by establishing a framework for understanding innovation as a historical force. Major sections then delve into specific turning points, such as the Renaissance era and the digital revolution, examining their pre-existing conditions, the nature of the innovation itself, and its consequences. The book offers insights into the dynamics of social change, technological advancements, and economic development, making it valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the modern world.

    This is the story of how an American teenager became the youngest person ever to build a working nuclear fusion reactor. 
    By the age of nine, Taylor Wilson had mastered the science of rocket propulsion. At eleven, his grandmother’s cancer diagnosis drove him to investigate new ways to produce medical isotopes. And by fourteen, Wilson had built a 500-million-degree reactor and become the youngest person in history to achieve nuclear fusion. How could someone so young achieve so much, and what can Wilson’s story teach parents and teachers about how to support high-achieving kids? 
    In The Boy Who Played with Fusion, science journalist Tom Clynes narrates Taylor’s extraordinary journey—from his Arkansas home where his parents fully supported his intellectual passions; to a unique Reno, Nevada, public high school just for academic superstars; to the present, when now nineteen-year-old Wilson is winning international science competitions with devices designed to prevent terrorists from shipping radioactive material into the country. Along the way, Clynes reveals how our education system shortchanges gifted students—and what we can do to fix it.

    This audiobook narrated by Stephen Perring presents a radical new approach to economic policy that addresses the symptoms and causes of inequality in Western society today
    
    Fueled by populism and the frustrations of the disenfranchised, the past few years have witnessed the widespread rejection of the economic and political order that Western countries built up after 1945. Political debates have turned into violent clashes between those who want to "take their country back" and those viewed as defending an elitist, broken, and unpatriotic social contract. There seems to be an increasing polarization of values. The Economics of Belonging argues that we should step back and take a fresh look at the root causes of our current challenges. In this original, engaging book, Martin Sandbu argues that economics remains at the heart of our widening inequality and it is only by focusing on the right policies that we can address it. He proposes a detailed, radical plan for creating a just economy where everyone can belong.
    
    Sandbu demonstrates that the rising numbers of the left behind are not due to globalization gone too far. Rather, technological change and flawed but avoidable domestic policies have eroded the foundations of an economy in which everyone can participate—and would have done so even with a much less globalized economy. Sandbu contends that we have to double down on economic openness while pursuing dramatic reforms involving productivity, regional development, support for small- and medium-sized businesses, and increased worker representation. He discusses how a more active macroeconomic policy, education for all, universal basic income, and better taxation of capital could work together for society's benefit.
    
    Offering real answers, not invective, for facing our most serious political issues, The Economics of Belonging shows how a better economic system can work for all.

    Upland - A Journey through Time...

    The relationship of people with hills and mountains has been complex, rich and varied–from awe and wonder to fear and loathing, from spiritual longing to peaceful acceptance. 
     
    As he explores our high places, Ian Crofton conjures up those who have been there before: Neolithic axe-makers, mass trespassers, shepherds, quarrymen, botanists, poets, and pioneering cragsmen and women among them. At the same time, he is ever attuned to the present moment–a flash of bright moss in a bog, the swoop of an eagle above a skyline, a winter sun sinking into a sea of cloud. 
     
    Following an arc from the gentle Downs of southern England to the wild peaks of Scotland's far north, Upland combines personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history and nature of mountain landscapes, and the people who once worked and wandered among them. The result is a meditation on the enduring yet ever-changing hills, on the transience of human experience, and on the shifts and twists of time itself.
