Der Siegeszug unserer entfesselten Technologien destabilisiert den gesamten Planeten und eröffnet ein neues Zeitalter: das New Dark Age. Eine seiner erschreckendsten Signaturen ist der Klimawandel, den James Bridle in diesem Kapitel seines aufsehenerregenden Buches beschreibt. Während neue Technologien immer schneller und immer massiver bis in die letzten Winkel unseres Lebens vordringen, sind wir immer weniger dazu in der Lage, sie unseren Erfordernissen anzupassen. Sie sind längst zu einer Bedrohung für humane Lebensformen geworden.

Innovation influences the market and its operators, especially about competition conditions. One of the most significant technological advances relates to the possibility of capturing a huge amount of information and processing them rapidly: two of the main features that make up the phenomenon known as big data. This not only entails the emergence of specialized operators in these activities, but also makes a "data economy" possible.

Explosion of the economic relevance of data is related to: first, technological progress that has drastically reduced the costs of collecting and storing data; second, the advances in analytic techniques that have allowed for more advanced processing to extract greater value from available data. So, more value is extracted from exhausted data. Information generated for one purpose can and should be reused for another one, which means that data moves from primary to secondary uses. Data are more valuable over time.

Whitehead presented these three lectures at Princeton University in 1929. Although 85 years have passed, his central thesis and his analysis remain remarkably current. The scientific materialism that Whitehead opposed with such vigor continues to dominate in academic circles, and even now those who question that worldview are often accused of being anti-scientific. This is especially true in discussions of the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body (particularly the brain).

History is always written from the perspective of the ruling or rising elite at the time of writing. Concepts like The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, et cetera, were of course unknown during those periods that used to be called the stone age and the bronze age. They were invented during the 19th century to make sense of a development that seemed to reach its climax with industrialisation and the modern factory.

Empathy is the ability to feel what others are feeling. In people who don't know they are deeply empathetic, it is often mistaken as having a bad day, or just feeling unexpectedly happy, sad and even angry. It is an innate gift that humans are born with but often lose sight of as we age and most people are empathetic without realizing it.As an empath, daily affirmations are a part of our lives and each chapter will begin with an inspirational affirmation directly related to empathy. Empaths share common traits, but many have something unique that separates them from the rest.

How can you truly belong to a place? What does being at home mean in a society that has always celebrated the search for greener pastures? And can a newcomer ever acquire the deep understanding of the land that comes from being part of a culture that has lived there for centuries? When Daniel Coleman came to Hamilton to take a position at McMaster University, he began to ask himself these kinds of questions, and Yardwork: A Biography of an Urban Place is his answer.

"The Global Empire" has correctly been described as Bard & Söderqvist's philosophically most profound work. In this book, they explore what a world view is, how it is constructed, how it is defended under pressure from surrounding technological change, and how it finally implodes and must be replaced at the tipping point that is called a paradigm shift. The authors then move ahead and construct a new credible world view for the internet age.

From fatal heatwaves and cruel droughts to devastating floods and fast-depleting water tables, climate change is the greatest disruptor of our time - and it can no longer be ignored. For most of us the odds seem overwhelming and solutions out of reach. Yet, in this forcefully argued book, climate-change practitioner, teacher and investor Mridula Ramesh emphasizes that while the situation is grim, it is not without hope.
