Summary

Many countries, communities, and social actors around the world are struggling to cope with the impacts of climate change. Adapting to climate change in a sustainable manner involves a huge collective effort and is barely happening. How can sustainable climate change adaptation become plausible? The Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024 provides a unique systematic and global assessment of the context conditions for sustainable climate change adaptation, evaluating the social dynamics of deep decarbonization and the physical dynamics in regional climate variability and extremes. Through nine case studies across the globe, the assessment provides insights into key barriers and opportunities for sustainable climate change adaptation.

    Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing—no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space—could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try. 
     
     
     
    In this new mathematical origin story, mathematician and novelist Manil Suri creates a natural progression of ideas needed to design our world, starting with numbers and continuing through geometry, algebra, and beyond. He reveals the secret lives of real and imaginary numbers, teaches them to play abstract games with real-world applications, discovers unexpected patterns that connect humble lifeforms to enormous galaxies, and explores mathematical underpinnings for randomness and beauty. With evocative examples ranging from multidimensional crochet to the Mona Lisa's asymmetrical smile, as well as ingenious storytelling that helps illuminate complex concepts like infinity and relativity, The Big Bang of Numbers charts a playful, inventive course to existence. Mathematics, Suri shows, might best be understood not as something we invent to explain Nature, but as the source of all creation, whose directives Nature tries to obey as best she can.

    Understand how artificial intelligence actually works, from first principles to generative models 
    AI Explained: A Guide for Non-Technical Readers builds understanding of artificial intelligence from first principles rather than diving in at the top. Written by experienced policy and technical experts, the book walks through rules and logic-based approaches, statistical methods, neural networks, machine learning, and generative models in accessible, structured terms. 
    Each major section concludes with a dedicated use-cases chapter grounding abstract concepts in practical scenarios drawn from healthcare, law, and business. Rather than teaching readers how to build or deploy AI, the book answers a more fundamental question: how do these systems achieve the outcomes they produce? Coverage of AI policy, ethics, and societal impact rounds out the treatment, informed directly by the authors' advisory roles with governments and international bodies. Readers will also find:A structured progression from foundational principles through symbolic, statistical, connective, learning, and generative approaches to AIReal-world use cases connecting each branch of AI to familiar scenarios in professional and everyday contextsBalanced coverage of AI ethics, regulation, and societal impact drawn from direct policy advisory experienceAnd more

    Sauvage - My fight to end animal...

    A passionate animal lover, Jérôme Pensu denounces the trafficking of wild animals in France, which is worth hundreds of millions of euros every year; he explains the mechanisms at play, the scale of the problem and the techniques used by criminals to make their business prosper; he points out, with specific cases to back it up, the incredible impunity enjoyed by fraudsters; and he lists a series of proposals to put an end, at last, to this scandal that endangers biodiversity - in other words, us.
    Sauvage! tells of pink flamingos atrophied to enrich zoos, macaques sent to their deaths in the name of environmental preservation, reptiles tortured for the needs of unscrupulous pet shops. He also talks about massive laundering, unashamed regularization and euthanasia of felines... All wild animals are concerned. He also talks about concrete, precise, immediate solutions that could put a stop to this massacre. 
    Because wildlife trafficking in France is not inevitable. It's up to each and every citizen to take part in the public debate to put an end to this scandal, which is almost as profitable as dealing hard drugs, and even more harmful in the long term for our planet and the human species. This book is also here to explain that anything is still possible, if citizens, families and children become aware of the uncontrolled traffic.
