Story
Alan Turing was the mathematician whose cipher-cracking transformed the Second World War. Taken on by British Intelligence in 1938, as a shy young Cambridge don, he combined brilliant logic with a flair for engineering. In 1940 his machines were breaking the Enigma-enciphered messages of Nazi Germany's air force. He then headed the penetration of the super-secure U-boat communications.

Story
Humankind has never before faced challenges of the scale and complexity of today. We need to expand our ethical toolkit. The mental tools most of us rely on to ‘do the right thing’ just don’t work when it comes to reasoning about such huge collective problems. From the small stuff like single-use plastics to major decisions like whether to have children, Rieder defines exactly how we can change our thinking and lead a decent, meaningful life in a scary, complicated world.

Story
She was 17 years old on a Christmas Eve flight 40 years ago to join her father for Christmas when the unimaginable happened. The Lockheed L-188A Electra, on the way from Lima to Pucallpa, flew directly into a thunderstorm. A strike of lightning left the plane incinerated and Juliane Diller (Koepcke) still strapped to her plane seat falling through the night air two miles above the Earth. Her survival is unexplainable and considered a modern-day miracle. Her mother was among the 91 dead and Juliane the sole survivor.

Story
Zwei Werke von Henry David Thoreau: Im Jahr 1849 schrieb er seinen weltberühmten Essay über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat. In diesem stellte er sich außerhalb einer Gesellschaft, die, obwohl auf den Prinzipien der Freiheit und Gleichheit aller gegründet, nicht in der Lage war, die Sklaverei abzuschaffen. Ungekürzte Lesung (Tracks 1 - 14). Fünf Jahre später folgte Walden oder Das Leben in den Wäldern - seit langem DAS Buch für Aussteiger, Frugalisten, Konsumverweigerer - oder auch ganz einfach nur Naturliebhaber.

Story
Weaving together memoir and cutting-edge science, Mothership is not just a queer coming-of-age story. It's a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and a psychedelic tea called ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia's Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, this is his search for wholeness when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help.

Un libro urgente e indispensable para modificar nuestros hábitos de consumo. Cada día somos más los que nos preocupamos por los impactos de nuestras acciones y empezamos a cambiar nuestros hábitos de consumo y el modo en que nos relacionamos con la naturaleza. Es un camino lleno de obstáculos y contradicciones, un activismo imperfecto que elegimos porque aprendimos sobre las consecuencias que conlleva la forma actual de hacer las cosas.

Story
Wie sauber ist unsere Mobilitätswende wirklich? Es ist ein Rohstoff, der unseren batteriebetriebenen Alltag am Laufen hält: Kobalt. Abgebaut wird es überwiegend in der Demokratischen Volksrepublik Kongo – unter dramatischen Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Welche Industrie steckt hinter unseren sauberen E-Autos, Smartphones und Laptops? Der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Aktivist Siddharth Kara ist auf seinen Reisen in die von Milizen kontrollierten Bergbauregionen bis tief in das finstere Herz unseres fossilen Kapitalismus vorgedrungen.
