    No AI, No AI translated by Eduard WagnerEvents happen every day that can be seen from a different perspective. Here I try to document such views. Whether they can agree or not is up to their point of view. It may be that you can't exactly agree with that, but there are perhaps problems that would be easier to solve than just using armed force. Our planet would benefit from a different perspective on so many events. That's why I decided to see some events in society, politics and the climate from a different perspective.

    From a young, gay environmentalist, a searing coming-of-age memoir set against the arid landscape of rural North Dakota, where homosexuality "seems akin to a ticking bomb." 
     
     
     
    "I am a child of the American West, a landscape so rich and wide that my culture trembles with terror before its power." So begins Taylor Brorby's Boys and Oil, a haunting, bracingly honest memoir about growing up gay amidst the harshness of rural North Dakota, "a place where there is no safety in a ravaged landscape of mining and fracking." 
     
     
     
    In visceral prose, Brorby recounts his upbringing in the coalfields; his adolescent infatuation with books; and how he felt intrinsically different from other boys. Now an environmentalist, Brorby uses the destruction of large swathes of the West as a metaphor for the terror he experienced as a youth. From an assault outside a bar in an oil boom town to a furtive romance, and from his awakening as an activist to his arrest at the Dakota Access Pipeline, Boys and Oil provides a startling portrait of an America that persists despite well-intentioned legal protections.

    Every young person is looking for freedom,
    
    but some have to fight harder than others …
    In 1960s Ireland there was a special place for disabled children: behind the walls of an institution, cut off from the rest of society.
    At just nine years old, Martin Naughton was one of these children. Along with his younger sister Barbara he was sent to a Dublin institution, far away from his Irish-speaking home in Spiddal.
    But Martin wouldn't be sidelined. With the help of some unexpected characters – and an unlikely encounter with his Celtic Football heroes – he began to change the way a generation of young disabled people saw themselves.
    This is the story of a boy who not only won his own independence, but also led the fight for freedom for all disabled people.
    'Martin was a formidable and tireless campaigner for the right of people with disabilities to live in their own communities and homes.' President Michael D. Higgins
    'Martin Naughton was a protector, a leader, a gamechanger. In reading this narration of his life, tears filled my eyes.' Dr Rosaleen McDonagh, playwright, rights activist and author of Unsettled.

    The most famous man of the Middle Ages was probably Charlemagne, and few would argue that he was also the most important man during those centuries. Upon the death of his father, Pepin the Short, in 768, Charlemagne became King of the Franks, and he proceeded to create one of the largest European empires since the collapse of Rome. Through his conquests across Western Europe and Italy, Charlemagne became the first Holy Roman Emperor after a famous imperial coronation by Pope Leo III. In becoming the first Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne essentially established the new order on the European continent. 
    In a world fascinated by men like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan is one of history’s greatest and most famous conquerors. No man, before or since, has ever started with so little and gone on to achieve so much. From a noble family but raised in poverty that drove him to the brink of starvation, Genghis Khan rose to control the second-largest empire the world has ever known (the largest being, arguably, the British Empire of the 18th and 19th centuries), and easily the largest empire conquered by a single man.  
    Saladin is widely considered one of the greatest generals in history and one of the most famous leaders of the Middle Ages, but he remains a paradox, both in personal and in historical terms. A military genius, he first served other generals and was overshadowed, late in life, by his greatest rival, Richard I of England. He was far more admired by his Christian enemies, who extolled his chivalry, than some of his Muslim rivals, who fought him for control of Egypt and Syria in the 12th century. His Christian enemies continued his name long after it was forgotten in the Middle East, only to spark a revival of his reputation in Arab culture in the 20th century.

    What happens when you finally listen, not to the noise of the world, but to the quiet hum beneath it? 
    In Interlude, Ellen Nasser gathers the memories, moments, and melodies that have shaped her life into a book that feels like sitting with a trusted friend. From sunlit childhood afternoons in Saltcoats to the foggy edge of midlife reflection, she traces the threads of motherhood, meaning, and belonging with all the mess and the music that shimmer in between. 
    This is not a memoir about having the answers. It is a permission slip: to pause, to soften, to laugh and grieve, to let yourself feel without rushing to fix. It is a companion for anyone longing to hear their own quiet voice again, to remember that the self beneath all the roles we play has always been there. 
    Told first through audio, with Ellen’s own voice and original music, Interlude is meant to be heard, felt, and carried with you, like a familiar melody that keeps calling you back to yourself.
