Sinopsis

Fridtjof Nansen's monumental two-volume work, *In Northern Mists*, serves as an intricate exploration of the Arctic and its profound historical, geographical, and cultural significance. The narrative weaves together travelogue, scientific inquiry, and historical analysis, all delivered with Nansen's characteristic eloquence and meticulous detail. Drawing upon rich firsthand experiences from his polar expeditions, he vividly captures the stark beauty and haunting isolation of the North, while simultaneously engaging with the myths and realities that envelop this enigmatic region. Fridtjof Nansen, a pioneering Norwegian explorer and diplomat, blossomed during the late 19th century'Äîa time marked by intense curiosity about the polar regions. His distinguished career, marked by not only exploration but also achievements in oceanography and humanitarian efforts, provided him with a unique lens to examine Northern cultures and geographies. Nansen's breadth of experience through his Arctic voyages shaped his understanding of the complex interplay between nature and human endeavors. *Northern Mists* is highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of adventure and scholarship. Nansen's reflective prose and immersive storytelling not only enlighten readers about the Arctic's allure but also establish a dialogue on humanity'Äôs relationship with the environment. This work is an essential read for explorers of both the physical and intellectual landscapes.

    Dismissed - Tackling the Biases...

    Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Health-care bias can mean the difference not just between suffering and relief, but between life and death. 
     
     
     
    For the first time, an author with the unique perspective of being one of America's top doctors, a woman, and Black, candidly addresses the issue of bias in health care, sharing personal and patient stories and pragmatic solutions. Dr. Angela Marshall, repeatedly named a "Top Doctor" by Washingtonian magazine, draws on extensive research, poignant stories from some of the thousands of patients she has treated, and her own compelling personal experience, to examine the bias from both patients' and health-care providers' points of view. She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. 
     
     
     
    Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel so profoundly—that the system is working against them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.

Or should we take control of our own "evolution" and usher in a posthuman age? Is there another option?In Humans 2.0, authors Fazale "Fuz" Rana and Kenneth Richard Samples open a window to the new world of human enhancement technologies and transhumanism their promises, potential, and pitfalls.

    Manifesto for the Revitalisation...

    The housing crisis in Portugal serves to illustrate a problem that has implications beyond the borders of the country, shedding light on challenges that are faced by major European and global cities. The rise in housing prices, driven by real estate speculation, the growth of tourism and the influx of foreign investment, has made it increasingly challenging for many in the population, especially the middle and lower classes, to access home ownership or renting. 
    The digitalisation of work has opened the possibility for highly qualified professionals to consider where they would like to live, regardless of the physical location of their job. Cities like Lisbon and Porto have become increasingly attractive destinations, offering a good quality of life combined with a range of professional opportunities. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has placed additional strain on the real estate market, leading to rising prices and the displacement of residents to the outskirts. 
    The housing policies that have been adopted thus far have not been as effective as might have been hoped, and in some cases may even have had the opposite effect. It seems that measures such as strict rent control, poorly targeted subsidies and the massive construction of new housing without proper urban and infrastructural planning have not solved the problem, and in some cases may have made it worse. Perhaps it would be beneficial to reconsider these approaches, acknowledging their shortcomings and adapting them to reflect the current situation. 
    It may be worth considering rehabilitating vacant buildings as a viable and sustainable solution. By restoring existing buildings, we can explore ways to increase the supply of affordable housing, revitalise run-down urban areas and preserve historical and cultural heritage to promote more inclusive and sustainable cities.

    How do artificial neural networks and other forms of artificial intelligence interfere with methods and practices in the sciences? Which interdisciplinary epistemological challenges arise when we think about the use of AI beyond its dependency on big data? Not only the natural sciences, but also the social sciences and the humanities seem to be increasingly affected by current approaches of subsymbolic AI, which master problems of quality (fuzziness, uncertainty) in a hitherto unknown way. But what are the conditions, implications, and effects of these (potential) epistemic transformations and how must research on AI be configured to address them adequately?
