  Digital Capitalism and...

  Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.

  The first American woman to walk in space recounts her experience as part of the team that launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. It has, among many other achievements, revealed thousands of galaxies in what seemed to be empty patches of sky; transformed our knowledge of black holes; found dwarf planets with moons orbiting other stars; and measured precisely how fast the universe is expanding. In Handprints on Hubble, retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan describes her work on the NASA team that made all of this possible. Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble, the most productive observatory ever built. Along the way, Sullivan chronicles her early life as a "Sputnik Baby," her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of "thirty-five new guys." (She was also one of the first six women to join NASA's storied astronaut corps.) She describes in vivid detail what liftoff feels like inside a spacecraft (it's like "being in an earthquake and a fighter jet at the same time"), shows us the view from a spacewalk, and recounts the temporary grounding of the shuttle program after the Challenger disaster. Sullivan explains that "maintainability" was designed into Hubble, and she describes the work of inventing the tools and processes that made on-orbit maintenance possible. Because in-flight repair and upgrade was part of the plan, NASA was able to fix a serious defect in Hubble's mirrors?leaving literal and metaphorical "handprints on Hubble."

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  The lifestyle of a cabin crew member dazzles and fascinates both young and old. The constant travels, the perfectly pressed and fashionable uniforms, the immaculate personal image, and other details of this job create a true illusion for those who dream of the adventure of flying. 
  However, behind all the magic that surrounds cabin crew members as they parade through airports and airplanes, there is a hidden side. There is a significant amount of prior effort, a heavy load of study and personal and professional training, and a long-term dedication to pursuing the goal of securing a job with an airline—a task that is far from easy, but in this book, I will show you how to make it simple and quick. 
  "How to Become a Cabin Crew" is a work that describes the step-by-step process to follow, from the moment you decide to start your studies until you secure a job with an international airline.

  Innovating To Zero - A Zero...

  'Achieving net zero will be the most amazing thing humankind has ever done.' - Bill Gates 
  In 2010, Bill Gates first came up with the term 'Innovating to Zero' to advocate a nuclear energy technology that would be safe and reliable, and have zero emissions. From its early use as a placeholder in Mesopotamian and Mayan civilizations to being ascribed value in seventh-century India, zero has today become the foundation without which modern world would crumble. In the twenty-first century, zero is taking on a completely new meaning - VISION ZERO. 
  In Innovating to Zero, Sarwant Singh sets out to explore a zero-concept world, where this vision can be used to create a sustainable future by achieving zero-emission vehicles, zero waste, zero accidents, zero defects, zero security breaches, zero carbon emissions, zero obesity and even zero diseases. From companies like Nissan, Britannia and Atos to a government organization like UK's Jet Zero Council to even a football club like Tottenham Hotspur, the book highlights the various fields where zero can play a disruptive role-be it among communities or corporates, in the context of social and business agendas, both today and in the future. 
  For readers, Singh provides a step-by-step approach to designing, developing and delivering a zero-vision strategy and a framework to achieve it, inspiring them to create a sustainable planet.
