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.

Why is the world the way it is? How did we get here? Does everything happen for a reason, or are some things left to chance? Philosophers and theologians have pondered these questions for millennia, but startling scientific discoveries over the past half century are revealing that we live in a world driven by chance. A Series of Fortunate Events tells the story of the awesome power of chance and how it is the surprising source of all the beauty and diversity in the living world.

Er hat sie gerettet, aus dem Müll, aus viel zu engen Käfigen, aus einem Leben an der Kette. Das ist seine Lebensaufgabe. Die Freundschaft zwischen beiden brachte Bruno Jelovic auf einen neuen Weg. In seinem Hörbuch nimmt er uns mit auf seine Ranch in Bosnien, den Alltag und die Notfälle dort, die sein Team und er jeden Tag aufs Neue angehen.

Freakonomics showed how economic calculations can explain seemingly counterintuitive decision-making. Thinking, Fast and Slow helped listeners identify a host of small cognitive errors that can lead to miscalculations and irrational thought. In What the Luck?, statistician and author Gary Smith sets himself a similar goal, and explains - in clear, understandable, and witty prose - how a statistical understanding of luck can change the way we see just about every aspect of our lives.

What if you were only known for the worst thing you've ever done? Not only does the US have the highest rate of incarceration in the world, it also makes certain that the stigma of a felony conviction follows people who have already served their time. After she came to understand both the frustrations and untapped potential of the incarcerated, Catherine Hoke founded Defy Ventures, a revolutionary organization devoted to transforming the lives of people both inside and outside prison walls. A Second Chance is the story of how Defy came to be.

Most stories begin with a single moment… Mine began with a fall. A fall from innocence… A fall into addiction… A fall into a world run by ghosts, secrets, and men who never say what they truly mean. But when a domino falls… It doesn’t stop. It tumbles through orphanages, crack epidemics, CIA backchannels, surf camps, corrupt governments, betrayals, miracles, machetes, jail cells… and sometimes… it tumbles straight into destiny. Because at the end of it all — after the violence, the lies, the geopolitics, the unbelievable coincidences — my story became something no one ...

Murderous mafia capos. The police officer who brutalized Abner Louima. A purveyor of child pornography. These are some of the defendants to have come before US District Court Judge Frederic Block to ask for reductions in their prison sentences. All of them have been found guilty and have already served decades in prison, but under the 2018 First Step Act they are entitled to petition for reconsideration and release. In a rare glimpse behind the bench, Judge Block recounts the cases of six incarcerated people who have done heinous things but have nevertheless petitioned him for their release.

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.
