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.Zum Buch

When Peter asks Grandfather Frog, Grandfather Frog tells him a story of long ago. This book is a collection of those stories told by Grandfather Frog and many others. - Summary by EstherbenSimonidesZum Buch
The Dao De Jing exists on the border between poetry and philosophy, embracing both mythos and logos. Its poetic form can stand alone, but it is enriched when its timeless ideas are analyzed and explained through careful scholarship. For example: “He who knows others is knowledgeable. He who knows himself is wise.” These words resemble Socrates’ account of his own quest in Plato’s Apology. Ancient philosophy, both in China and in Greece, places self-‐ knowledge at the center of the search for wisdom. Contemporary philosophers are often misled about this way of thinking, because the self has been detached from external things and separated from nature and society. The wisdom of China and of Europe unites human existence and nature.Zum Buch

A Recommended Read from Yale Climate Connections “[Frostlines weaves] together natural history, indigenous perspective, and environmental transformation in the Arctic. The book helps bring a human story to the science of climate change.”—Parade A sweeping exploration of the Arctic—and how it’s being transformed by climate change—from National Geographic writer Neil Shea As warming reshapes our planet, the Arctic—a region that once seemed unchangeable, beyond the reach of modern problems—is quickly coming undone. While the old cold world can still be glimpsed in the movements of caribou, the hidden lives of wolves, and the hunting skill of an Iñupiaq elder, look closer and you’ll find a new Arctic appearing in its place. In Frostlines, Neil Shea blends natural history, anthropology, and travel writing to explore how the beauty, chaos, and power of change in the far north are reflected in the lives of people and animals. He sojourns with a wolf pack on Canada’s Ellesmere Island and travels with Indigenous hunters in Alaska, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. He tracks dwindling caribou herds across the top of North America, searches for vanished Vikings in Greenland, and visits the front line of the new Cold War rising between Russia and Europe. What Shea finds is not one Arctic but many—all still linked by shattering cold, seasons of darkness, and a pure, inimitable light. Frostlines illuminates: How Greenland’s history has led to Trump’s interest in [or obsession with] the country todayHow Russia is using the Arctic as a testing ground for geopolitical confrontationsWhy oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will further threaten Indigenous people and animalsWhy increased ship traffic in the Northwest Passage has profound consequences for the Inuit and global politics Written with masterful prose and a spark of adventure, Frostlines is an expansive yet intimate revelation of the Arctic during a time of transformation, and a journey along the threshold of a stunning and sometimes frightening world that’s emerging right before our eyes.Zum Buch
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Discover the critical importance of sleep that modern culture systematically ignores while undermining the rest your body desperately requires for health, cognition, and longevity. This essential audiobook presents the neuroscience and health research revealing sleep as the foundation of all other biological functions rather than optional downtime to be minimized. Learn why sleep deprivation produces effects comparable to intoxication while society celebrates exhaustion as proof of dedication and productivity. The narrator reveals how inadequate sleep causes weight gain, immune dysfunction, cognitive impairment, emotional instability, and increased mortality that accumulate silently until catastrophic failure. Discover the specific biological processes occurring during sleep that cannot happen while awake and why no amount of stimulants can substitute for actual rest. Understand how artificial lighting, screens, shift work, and always-on culture have created an epidemic of sleep deprivation with consequences rarely attributed to their actual cause. This audiobook examines sleep disorders, circadian biology, and the environmental factors destroying sleep quality for millions who never recognize why they feel perpetually depleted. Learn evidence-based strategies for improving sleep quality and quantity that address root causes rather than symptoms. Essential listening for anyone feeling chronically tired, experiencing health problems with mysterious origins, or seeking to understand why rest matters far more than productivity culture admits.Zum Buch
