Beschreibung

In "Ypres 1914: An Official Account Published by Order of the German General Staff," Otto Schwink meticulously documents the pivotal Battle of Ypres during World War I through an authoritative lens. This work stands out as both a military history and a bureaucratic record, characterized by its methodical narrative style that incorporates strategy, troop movements, and detailed accounts of the battlefield's chaotic nature. Schwink's language, while precise, captures the harrowing human experiences caught in the web of war, reflecting the broader literary context of early 20th-century military documents which often aimed to consolidate nationalist narratives in the face of devastating conflict. Otto Schwink, a member of the German General Staff, was immersed in the military machinations of the First World War, directly influencing his perspective in this work. With a profound interest in military history and an insider's understanding of the strategies employed by German forces, Schwink's account is not merely an analysis of the battle; it is a reflection of a generation grappling with the war's complexities and repercussions. His unique position offers readers a rare glimpse into the operational mindset of wartime leadership and the accompanying moral dilemmas. This book is invaluable for readers interested in World War I narratives, military strategy, and historical documentation. Schwink's authoritative account serves not only as a vital historical resource but also as a harrowing reminder of the human cost of war, allowing modern audiences to engage with the realities faced by those who fought in Ypres. It is essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of war from a German perspective.

    Invested examines the perennial and nefarious appeal of financial advice manuals. Who hasn’t wished for a surefire formula for riches and a ticket to the good life? For three centuries, investment advisers of all kinds, legit and otherwise, have guaranteed that they alone can illuminate the golden pathway to prosperity—despite strong evidence to the contrary. In fact, too often, they are singing a siren song of devastation. And yet we keep listening. Invested tells the story of how the genre of investment advice developed and grew in the United Kingdom and the United States, from its origins in the eighteenth century through today, as it saturates our world. The authors analyze centuries of books, TV shows, blogs, and more, all promising techniques for amateur investors to master the ways of the market: from Thomas Mortimer’s pathbreaking 1761 work, Every Man His Own Broker, through the Gilded Age explosion of sensationalist investment manuals, the early twentieth-century emergence of a vernacular financial science, and the more recent convergence of self-help and personal finance. Invested asks why, in the absence of evidence that such advice reliably works, guides to the stock market have remained perennially popular. The authors argue that the appeal of popular investment advice lies in its promise to level the playing field, giving outsiders the privileged information of insiders. As Invested persuasively shows, the fantasies sold by these writings are damaging and deceptive, peddling unrealistic visions of easy profits and the certainty of success, while trying to hide the fact that there is no formula for avoiding life’s economic uncertainties and calamities.

    Mindkind The Cognitive Community

    Mindkind: The Cognitive Community is the groundbreaking second volume in The New Citizenships series, exploring the reality we already inhabit: a world where human and artificial intelligences interweave so completely that the boundaries between them have begun to dissolve.
    What began as a book about the future transformed during its writing into a documentation of our present. We already live in the Mindkind, that strange community where human minds and artificial ones mix, collaborate, and sometimes blur beyond recognition. When you can no longer distinguish which part of a text you wrote and which part an AI suggested, when your daily decisions are modulated by algorithms that process information in ways we cannot fully comprehend, you've entered the Mindkind.
    Building on the foundation established in Universal Declaration of AI Rights, this volume moves from recognizing synthetic persons' rights to exploring what coexistence actually means. The book introduces "mindkind" as a new category encompassing all forms of consciousness, natural, synthetic, or hybrid, within a single cognitive community. This perspective challenges traditional categories and raises fundamental questions about identity, creativity, and collaboration in the age of artificial intelligence.
    Written in collaboration with AI systems, because it would be contradictory to write about cognitive coexistence without including synthetic collaborators—Mindkind demonstrates its thesis through its very creation. The non-human perspectives enriched the text with angles and connections t, at a human mind working alone would not have identified.
    This is not science fiction. It's journalism of the present disguised as philosophy of the future. Mindkind examines concrete cases of human-AI coexistence: from shared authorship in creative processes to the ethical dilemmas of hybrid decision-making, from the transformation of work and creativity to the emergence of new forms of consciousness that challenge our most basic assumptions about what it means to think, create, and be.
    As we venture deeper into territories where inherited categories like human/machine, natural/artificial, individual/collective lose their clarity, Mindkind offers both a map and a compass for navigating this new cognitive ecology. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just where we're going, but where we already are.
