An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.Zum Buch

The story of China's imperial unification represents one of history's most consequential political transformations. "Imperial Chinese Foundations: Uniting the Land" explores the three dynasties that forged China's imperial system—a political structure that would endure for over two millennia. The brief but revolutionary Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) ended centuries of warring states by conquering all rivals under the leadership of the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Through military might, standardized writing, currency, measurements, and a unified legal code, the Qin created China's first centralized bureaucratic empire—though their harsh Legalist policies triggered rebellion after the emperor's death. The Western Han Dynasty (206 BCE-9 CE) consolidated imperial rule through a more pragmatic blend of Confucian ideology and centralized governance. Under Emperor Wu's dynamic leadership, the Han expanded Chinese territory, opened the Silk Road, established the civil service examination system, and created cultural and political institutions that would define Chinese civilization for millennia. As power shifted to the Eastern Han (25-220 CE), the dynasty initially flourished before facing mounting challenges from natural disasters, court intrigues, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Yet even as political cohesion weakened, this period saw remarkable innovations—including paper, the seismograph, and advances in mathematics and medicine—while Buddhism began its profound influence on Chinese civilization. Through examining these three foundational dynasties, we witness the birth and evolution of the imperial Chinese state that would serve as a template for governance across East Asia and continue to influence Chinese identity into the modern era.Zum Buch
America needs the Democrats to deliver prosperity and reunite America. The book discusses ten policies that voters overwhelmingly support: reduce prescription drug costs, reduce hospital costs, reduce housing costs, raise the minimum wage, remove big money from politics, restore women’s reproductive rights, outlaw gerrymandering, eliminate presidential immunity, restore the Voting Rights Act, and eliminate the electoral college. Implementing these policies will alleviate the hardship of nearly 200 hundred million Americans living paycheck to paycheck, enable women throughout America to once again be able to fully participate in modern social and economic life, and advance democracy. Democrats have drafted bills and passed laws that implement several of these policies. However, Republicans have and will continue to use the Senate filibuster and the Supreme Court to block these bills and overturn these laws. The book presents moral, legal, and constitutional methods to overcome this Republican obstruction without amendments. When Democrats improve the quality of life for Americans, they win electionsZum Buch
