Summary

'Deep Cave Missions' offers a comprehensive exploration of spelunking and cave science, masterfully bridging the gap between practical underground exploration and scientific research. This authoritative guide examines the fascinating world of caves through three interconnected lenses: advanced navigation techniques, subterranean ecosystem dynamics, and geological formations.Drawing from decades of speleological research and firsthand accounts, the book reveals how these natural underground laboratories contribute vital insights into Earth's history and biological diversity. The book's progression from fundamental concepts to advanced applications makes it particularly valuable for both serious cavers and scientific researchers. Readers discover the technical challenges of navigating pitch-black passages while learning about the delicate balance of cave ecosystems and the formation of complex geological structures.The integration of modern scientific tools, such as 3D mapping technology and environmental DNA analysis, alongside traditional speleological techniques, demonstrates the evolution of cave exploration and research methods. What sets this work apart is its thorough examination of caves as critical indicators of Earth's geological and ecological processes. Through detailed protocols for data collection and analysis, readers gain practical knowledge for conducting their own underground investigations.The book addresses current debates surrounding climate change impacts on cave systems and conservation strategies for sensitive underground ecosystems, making it an essential resource for earth science students, professional researchers, and advanced amateur cavers interested in the intersection of exploration and scientific discovery.

    In RNJesus They Trust: Game Design, Your Time & Your Luck is a witty, sharp-eyed exploration of randomness in modern gaming — and how it blesses, tests, or exploits the players who kneel before it. From the ecstatic thrill of a rare drop to the soul-crushing grind of gacha pulls, game developers have turned RNG (random number generation) into a design pillar that fuels excitement and monetization. But where does randomness stop being fun and start wasting your time — or draining your wallet? This book unpacks that question across genres: MMOs, gacha games, roguelikes, shooters, and strategy titles. It blends game design insight with psychological analysis and a dash of sacred satire, portraying “RNJesus” as the unpredictable deity we’ve all prayed to at 2 AM. Whether you're a game designer, critic, or lifelong gamer tired of losing to the dice, this book offers clarity, laughter, and empowerment. Learn to recognize fair design, spot exploitative patterns, and advocate for gaming systems that respect your time — and your luck.

    »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.
