  Rewiring Democracy - How AI Will...

  In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.

  Lupus - A Comprehensive Guide to...

  Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect nearly every organ and tissue in the body. It occurs when the immune system, which is meant to protect the body from foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses, mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. This malfunction leads to inflammation and damage in various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and lungs. The unpredictable nature of lupus, with periods of flare-ups followed by remissions, makes it particularly difficult to diagnose and manage. 
  Understanding lupus is critical because, despite its widespread prevalence, many people are still unaware of its complexities. The disease often manifests in diverse ways, ranging from mild symptoms to life-threatening conditions. Because lupus shares symptoms with other diseases, it can be challenging to diagnose in its early stages. This makes awareness and early recognition essential for effective management and treatment.

  The Feynman Lectures on Physics...

  Physics is the study of the fundamental principles that govern the universe. It seeks to understand how the natural world works, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. At its core, physics is about exploring the behavior of matter and energy and how they interact. By uncovering these basic laws of nature, physicists have been able to make incredible advances in technology and our understanding of the universe, transforming how we live and think. 
  The nature and scope of physics are vast. It is divided into several branches, each focusing on different aspects of the physical world. Classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics are just a few examples of the areas of physics that explore different phenomena. Classical mechanics deals with the motion of objects and the forces acting upon them, while electromagnetism studies the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. Thermodynamics focuses on heat and energy transfer, and quantum mechanics explores the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales. 
  At its foundation, physics relies on a few core principles, such as the conservation of energy, the principle of least action, and Newton's laws of motion. These principles are fundamental to understanding how objects move, interact, and behave. The law of conservation of energy, for example, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only transformed from one form to another. Newton’s laws of motion provide the framework for understanding how forces affect the movement of objects. These laws have been used for centuries to explain everything from the motion of falling apples to the launch of rockets into space.

  The Time to Act Is Now

  »We are at a turning point in human history. To stop climate breakdown and extinction,environmental movements need to be actively anti-racist and join struggles for social justice.«Carola RacketeIn 2019, Carola Rackete became publicly known for docking the sea rescue vessel »Sea-Watch 3« in Italy and thereby challenging a nationaldecree that contradicted internationalobligations to engage in sea rescue. Due to this act of civil disobedience and her public confrontation of the Italian far right and the structural racism of the EU's Fortress Europe policy, Carola became a powerful symbol for people seeking to take practical action for a world based on justice and equality. Carola has worked in the polar regions since 2011 and holds a degree in natural resources management. Consequently, her book shows how the ecological crises we are facing today are rooted in social and political power structures. The book details moments of the rescue mission but also connects the dots to forced migration and the urgency of our environmental predicament. Overall, it is a call to engage and act to become part of initiatives and movements struggling for social and environmental justice.This version of the book includes a new afterword focused on centring justice and human rights in nature and biodiversity conservation-a topic often overlooked by climate activists in the Global North.The authors will donate the revenue from this book to the association borderline-europe-Menschenrechte ohne Grenzen e.V. in order to launch a new criminalization fund. The money from this fund will be used to support refugees who are criminalized in the EU for fleeingtoEurope.Acknowledgements: This audio book has been made possible by the voluntary contributions of many people, most notably Marysa Abbas who is the voiceover artist of this audioproject, Diane Hielscher who provided her studio "LifeX Lab-wir machen Medien für eine neue Welt" for the recordings and production, Céline Keller who contributed the cover art, Alfio Furnari from Borderline-Europe who managed administration and contracts, the management of liberaudio as well as Anne Weiss who got the projectrolling and connected everyone. My gratitude and thanks to all of you. Carola Rackete

  Climate Restoration - The Only...

  The Paris Accords, widely accepted as the key to solving today's climate crisis, set a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that's not good enough. The only way to guarantee a livable future is climate restoration, which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and entrepreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical path that will let humankind survive and thrive. 
   
   
   
  As Fiekowsky explains in Climate Restoration, this will require removing a trillion tons of excess CO2 from the atmosphere. The good news is that this task, while enormous and technically challenging, is eminently feasible. Scientists and engineers have developed four major technologies for greenhouse gas removal and storage: ocean iron fertilization; synthetic limestone manufacture; seaweed permaculture; and methane oxidation. 
   
   
   
  Fiekowsky shows that these technologies are safe and practical—and, even more remarkable, that they require little if any government funding, since they can be financed largely through existing markets. For these reasons, they have enormous promise as vehicles for achieving climate restoration. With the global climate crisis continuing to spiral out of control, the time for tough conversations about what it will really take to create a healthy future for humanity is here.
