Immortality, once a faint hope, has never been more within our grasp. Here, Nobel Prize-winning biologist Venki Ramakrishnan offers a definitive look at why we die - and whether we can do anything about it.

Das "Aufklärungsbuch" für bessere Unternehmensführung Um ein Unternehmen erfolgreich zu führen, sollte man eine Vorstellung davon haben, wie Unternehmen wirklich funktionieren. Da helfen weder Vergleiche mit Maschinen, Schiffen oder sonstig Trivialem, noch reicht es, sich mit simplen Appellen oder moralinsauren Forderungen auf den Weg zu New Work zu machen. Das Buch räumt auf, sowohl mit tradierten Ansätzen als auch mit den vermeintlich besseren, den "neuen" Sichtweisen von Arbeit, Führung und Organisation.

Nach fünf Jahren intensiver Erfahrung mit New Work wissen wir: Die meisten Ansätze, um New Work, "Teal Organisationen" oder Selbstorganisation einzuführen, greifen zu kurz und sind damit zum Scheitern verurteilt. Denn sie konzentrieren sich auf die äußere, sichtbare Dimension des Wandels. Aber jede äußere Veränderung von Strukturen und Prozessen muss notwendigerweise von einer inneren Transformation begleitet werden. Deshalb widmen wir dieses Buch insbesondere der "inneren Innovation" von Teams.

Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing the first clothing created from spun fibers. In fact, right up to the Industrial Revolution the fiber arts were an enormous economic force, belonging primarily to women. Despite the great toil required in making cloth and clothing, most books on ancient history and economics have no information on them. Much of this gap results from the extreme perishability of what women produced, but it seems clear that until now descriptions of prehistoric and early historic cultures have omitted virtually half the picture.

Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

The knowledge of death is so terrifying that we live most of our lives in denial of it. One of the most difficult moments of childhood must be when each of us first realizes that not only we but all our loved ones will die—and there is nothing we can do about it. Or at least, there hasn’t been. Today, we are living through a revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in understanding why we age—and why some species live longer than others. Could we eventually cheat disease and death and live for a very long time, possibly many times our current lifespan?

Jesus taught his followers that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. Yet by the fall of Rome, the church was becoming rich beyond measure. Through the Eye of a Needle is a sweeping intellectual and social history of the vexing problem of wealth in Christianity in the waning days of the Roman Empire, written by the world's foremost scholar of late antiquity.

In a bracingly honest reflection on both his own past work for the Republican Party and the contortions of his former peers in the GOP establishment, Miller draws a straight line between the actions of the 2000s GOP to the Republican political class's Trumpian takeover, including the horrors of January 6th.
