In virtually every walk of life, robotic systems can make labor more valuable, not less.

Efforts to reduce gun violence in the United States face formidable political and constitutional barriers.

We can decrease the number of gun deaths, they argue, by empowering individual citizens to choose common-sense gun reforms for themselves.

"Vom alltäglichen Scheitern" erzählt aus dem Leben eines Gerichtsreporters an einem ganz gewöhnlichen Amtsgericht. Die Kriminalfälle, die dort verhandelt werden, finden maximal eine Erwähnung in der Lokalzeitung, denn hier geht es nicht um Mord und Totschlag oder milliardenschwere Unterschlagungen, hier geht es um menschliche Schicksale - auf Seiten der Opfer, auf Seiten der Täter. Es sind die "kleinen Geschichten", die dieses Hörbuch anschaulich, unterhaltsam wie informativ schildert, Geschichten, die aufrühren, zornig wie traurig aber auch nachdenklich machen.

The Agenda exposes a radically altered Supreme Court whose powers extend far beyond transforming any individual right - its agenda is to shape the very nature of America's government, redefining who gets to have legal rights, who is beyond the reach of the law, and who chooses the people who make our laws.

Die gegenwärtigen Grundrechtseinschränkungen zur Bekämpfung der Covid19-Pandemie sind die schwersten, die der deutsche Bürger seit Inkrafttreten des Grundgesetzes ertragen musste.

Exposed: How Revealing Your Data and Eliminating Privacy Increases Trust and Liberates Humanity takes a controversial and insightful look at the concept of privacy and persuasively argues that preparing for a post-private future is better than exacerbating the painful transition by attempting to delay the inevitable.
