The Apology is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defended himself in 399 BC against the charges of "corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel" . "Apology" here has its earlier meaning of speaking in defense of a cause or of one's beliefs or actions. The general term apology, in context to literature, defends a world from attack (opposite of satire-which attacks the world).the text is written in the first person from Socrates' point of view, as though it were Socrates' actual speech at the trial. During the course of the speech, Socrates twice mentions Plato as being present. There is, however, no real way of knowing how closely Socrates' words in the Apology match those of Socrates at the actual trial, even if it was Plato's intention to be accurate in this respectZum Buch
The inside story of the creation of Ozempic and its revolutionary impact on public health.A “cure” for obesity has long been the holy grail for the pharmaceutical industry, one that seemed unattainable until recent breakthroughs in type 2 diabetes research led to the development of Ozempic, a weight loss medication that activates a hormone in the stomach called GLP-1, making people feel fuller for longer. The treatment is so effective that it is already disrupting many industries—from healthcare to fast food to fashion—and it has quickly made its creator, Denmark’s Novo Nordisk, the most valuable company in Europe. But the impact of GLP-1s goes far beyond billion-dollar profits; a true long-term cure for obesity could save 40 percent of American adults from dangerous, preventable illnesses. And as more potential benefits emerge, one question looms in the minds of investors, healthcare workers, and politicians: Are these drugs too good to be true?In Off the Scales, Reuters journalist Aimee Donnellan illuminates the history of a medical breakthrough that is poised to change the world, while raising difficult social questions about inequality and morality. Through original reporting and rigorous research, she forecasts the future of GLP-1s and examines what their explosive popularity tells us about our ideals of beauty and the lengths to which people will go in order to become thin.Along the way, Donnellan profiles the scientist whose contributions to the discovery of GLP-1 were overlooked, documents her fight for recognition while her colleagues were thrust into the limelight, and offers new insights into the ways that the food and beauty industries made billions while promoting unhealthy and unrealistic body image standards and accelerating the obesity crisis. She also provides firsthand accounts of several early Ozempic users and the transformative effect the drug has had on their weight loss journeys.Off the Scales is an informative and entertaining study of the unexpected consequences of finally getting what we’ve wanted for so long.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s PressZum Buch

Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state holds total control over every aspect of public and private life, leaving no room for opposition or individual freedoms. Unlike other forms of governance, where political competition and individual rights are somewhat preserved, totalitarianism demands absolute loyalty and conformity. The concept of totalitarianism emerged in the early 20th century, though its roots can be traced back to ancient and medieval periods. In its modern form, it is most closely associated with dictatorial regimes that arose in the aftermath of World War I and throughout the 20th century. The term "totalitarian" was popularized by political theorists in the 1920s and 1930s, notably in relation to regimes like those of Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany. These regimes, alongside those of Stalin in the Soviet Union and others in Asia and Eastern Europe, showcased the terrifying potential of absolute political control. A hallmark of totalitarian states is the extensive centralization of power in the hands of a single leader or party. This centralization permeates every part of governance, from the military to the legal system, and extends into the social and cultural spheres, where the government seeks to dictate values, beliefs, and behaviors. One of the key distinguishing features of totalitarianism is the suppression of political opposition. Under totalitarian rule, political pluralism is eradicated, and those who challenge the ruling authority are subject to imprisonment, torture, or execution. This is often achieved through the use of secret police, military forces, and legal systems designed to stifle dissent and maintain control. Another significant aspect is the pervasive use of propaganda to control the population's beliefs and perceptions.Zum Buch
