Appell für eine wirklich patientenorientierte Medizin! Krankenhäuser und Praxen haben sich in den letzten Jahren mehr und mehr zu Wirtschaftsunternehmen entwickelt - zum Nachteil der Patienten und des Personals. Das System ist strikt auf Gewinn ausgerichtet, gleichzeitig ist eine enorme Verschwendung an menschlichen und materiellen Ressourcen zu beobachten. Überversorgung und Mangel sind die beiden Seiten einer Medaille. Die Corona-Pandemie hat es wie unter einem Brennglas gezeigt: Einerseits sind wir enorm leistungsfähig, andererseits schlecht organisiert und unterfinanziert.

Gefühle und Emotionen sind in vielen Unternehmen immer noch ein Tabu. Der Arbeitsalltag zeigt jedoch, dass diese sich nicht ausklammern lassen: Überall wo Menschen gefordert sind, zusammenzuarbeiten, kommen früher oder später Gefühle ins Spiel, ob es uns gefällt oder nicht. Doch das muss kein Problem sein. Im Gegenteil, sagt Vivian Dittmar: Gefühle sind wichtige Beziehungskompetenzen, die wir auch in Arbeitssituationen dringend benötigen. Doch wie schaffen wir es, dass diese in Teams und Besprechungen, in Führungskräften und Mitarbeitern auch als solche zum Tragen kommen? Emotionale Kompetenz ist mehr als nur Teil eines modernen Skillprofils.

Wenn Verharmlosen zur tödlichen Gefahr wird. In Deutschland hat man sich an Zustände gewöhnt, an die man sich niemals gewöhnen darf: Jüdische Schulen müssen von Bewaffneten bewacht werden, jüdischer ­Gottesdienst findet unter Polizeischutz statt, Bedrohungen nehmen zu. Der Staat hat zugelassen, dass es so weit kommt – durch eine Polizei, die diese Gefahr ­vielerorts nur verwaltet; durch eine Justiz, die immer wieder beschönigt. Der jüdische Autor Ronen Steinke, selbst Jurist, ist durch Deutschland gereist und erzählt von jüdischem ­Leben, das sich immer mehr hinter Mauern zurückzieht.

Aquí, Adrián Chávez pone su experiencia en la lingüística y en la divulgación al servicio de desenmarañar el entramado de fake news, teorías conspirativas y pseudociencias que pueblan el entorno digital, donde las certezas se multiplican como cabezas de Hidra. Estas páginas —más que un dedo acusatorio— son la pausa antes de dar clic en un titular: una exploración de qué se dice y cómo, de quién enuncia y con qué fin, de la diferencia entre malinformar y desinformar, y de cómo la posverdad se delata con la lengua.

Our ability to make a fist is what distinguishes humans from every other species, including primates. The fist has played a crucial role in the birth of language and appears in nearly every form of nonverbal communication. We use our fist to protest oppression, give pleasure, knock on doors, give daps, and (inaccurately) measure our heart. Yet the fist is also a sign of someone on the edge. This book asks what happens when we lean over the edge of what a fist can do and symbolize.
