In Here Comes the Sun, world-renowned author Bill McKibben tells the story of our sudden spike in power from the sun and wind. McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy, which, if it accelerates, gives us a chance not just to limit climate change’s damage, but to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. Getting there means overcoming obstacles like Big Oil, but McKibben sees a chance for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.

Wie ernst muss man diesen Mann nehmen? Die Welt hat jedenfalls mit ihm zu rechnen.Donald Trumps Präsidentschaft 2017–2021 spaltete die US-Nation. Die internationale Staatengemeinschaft hielt die neue Außenpolitik für ein temporäres Phänomen.

Wie leicht - das in einem Kind zu sehen und zu sagen: "Ich sehe das Gute in dir!" Wie schwer, das sich selbst oder einem anderen Menschen zuzusprechen, der gerade grandios gescheitert ist, versagt hat, schuldig geworden ist. Tobias Merckle, Unternehmer, Pädagoge, Visionär, meint: "Jeder hat eine Chance verdient, auch eine zweite Chance - um Gottes willen! Erst recht Kinder aus Krisengebieten. Oder junge Menschen, deren Eltern manches vermasselt haben." Und so sieht und sucht er das Gute, entwickelt Konzepte, schafft Einrichtungen, Häuser, Programme.

Der CDU-Politiker Peter Tauber hat ein autobiografisches Buch für alle Männer geschrieben, die sich in der Lebensmitte Fragen nach dem "Warum?", "Wozu?" und "Wohin?" stellen. Und er bietet nebenbei einen spannenden Blick hinter die Kulissen der Spitzenpolitik. Wann ist ein Mann ein Mann? Was macht ein Mann, wenn er merkt, dass er nicht mehr kann und nicht mehr weiter weiß? Wofür lohnt es sich eigentlich, sich derart aufzureiben? Und was passiert mit dem eigenen Ego, wenn man plötzlich feststellt, dass man gar nicht so tough ist, wie man immer dachte, und kürzertreten muss?

The last century saw a revolution in life expectancy. Whether you are male or female, born in the global south or north, the chances are that you can expect to live much longer than previous generations. But instead of seeing this as a precious gift of extra life, we see it as a burden, with ageing populations dogged by infirmity, dependent on an ever-decreasing number of young people to support them. Andrew Scott argues it doesn't have to be like that.

In late 1936, as Franco’s armies stormed toward Madrid, Stalin famously termed the defence of Spain “the common cause of all advanced and progressive mankind.” As a German emigrant to Winnipeg, Hans Ibing recognized the importance of the Spanish Civil War to the struggle against worldwide fascism in a way that most people in Canada did not - joining the International Brigades in their fight to defend the Spanish Republic was his “chance to fight Hitler.”

As a child in small-town Oklahoma, Elizabeth Warren yearned to go to college and then become an elementary school teacher - an ambitious goal, given her family’s modest means. Early marriage and motherhood seemed to put even that dream out of reach, but 15 years later she was a distinguished law professor with a deep understanding of why people go bankrupt. Then came the phone call that changed her life: could she come to Washington, DC, to help advise Congress on rewriting the bankruptcy laws?

Few images more shocked the French population during the Occupation than the photograph of Marshal Philippe Pétain - the great French hero of the First World War - shaking the hand of Hitler on 20 October 1940. In the radio speech after this meeting, Pétain said 'It is I alone who will be judged by History.' Five years later, in July 1945, the hour of judegment - if not yet the judgement of History - arrived.

In Last Chance to Save American Democracy, political strategist Haven Scott McVarish takes us through the intentional dismantling of democracy begun by Republican party funders after Obama's landslide in 2008. These funders and their willing Republican servants weaponized unlimited dark money, extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression, and diversionary propaganda to make it impossible for Democrats to effectively govern or win a majority. Only Trump’s massive unpopularity allowed Democrats to barely win the trifecta in the 2020 elections.
