In September 2021, the Wall Street Journal released the Facebook Files - a huge cache of information looking at the immoral practices of Facebook - how they treated politicians favorably, how they incited violence in Ethiopia, and much more. The person responsible for revealing these was Frances Haugen. With this book, Haugen not only aims to expose the issues at the company, but to also educate and inspire readers to think differently about their social media use and the implications of such big companies. Because if Facebook can't or won't stop the issues, where does that leave governments and ordinary citizens. The book will tell her personal story - about her career and the moments that led to her becoming a whistle-blower - as well as looking more into the files that she released and how we can have a different relationship with tech.
**SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE**'Desperately needed' - Isabella Tree'I doubt any more important book will published this year' - Stephen FryIn this indispensable follow up to his acclaimed The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the World, Charles Clover chronicles how determined individuals are proving that the crisis in our oceans can be reversed, with benefits for both local communities and entire ecosystems. Rewilding the Sea celebrates what happens when we step aside and let nature repair the damage: whether it is the overfishing of bluefin tuna across the Atlantic, the destruction of coral gardens by dredgers in Lyme Bay or the restoration of oysters on the East Coast of America.The latest scientific research shows that trawling and dredging create more CO2 than the aviation industry and damage vast areas of our continental shelves, stopping them soaking up carbon. We need to fish in different ways, where we fish at all. We can store carbon and have more fish by stepping aside more often and trusting nature.Essential and revelatory, Rewilding the Sea propels us to rethink our relationship with nature and reveals that saving our oceans is easier than we think.

40 Jahre lang dominierte der Kalte Krieg das Weltgeschehen. Die DDR und die Bundesrepublik befanden sich in diesem globalen Konflikt an vorderster Front. Symbol dafür war die berüchtigte Berliner Mauer, die Liebende, Freunde und Familien, Kollegen und Mitbürger voneinander trennte.Der Herausgeber, das Wendemuseum im kalifornischen Los Angeles, ist nach dem historischen Zeitraum um den Mauerfall 1989 benannt. Seit seiner Gründung 2002 durch den Amerikaner Justin Jampol widmet sich das Museum der Kultur und Bildsprache des früheren Ostblocks und fördert verschiedene Sichtweisen auf diese vielschichtige Ära, die unsere Welt bis heute prägt.Der enzyklopädische Band zeigt mehr als 2.000 Stücke aus der einzigartigen Sammlung des Museums. Basierend auf unserem XL-Band, bietet dieses Buch einen umfangreichen Überblick über Kunstgegenstände, Archivbestände und Dinge aus der DDR: offizielle Symbole und oppositionelle Ausdrucksformen, Spektakuläres und Alltägliches, Massenproduziertes und Handgemachtes, Witziges und Tragisches.Begleitet werden diese Überreste einer untergegangenen Zeit von grundlegenden Texten, die Akademiker und Experten aus Europa, Kanada und den USA zu Themen von der Stasi bis zur Sexualität, von Denkmälern bis zu mentalen Landkarten verfasst haben. Über 800 Seiten, mehr als 2.000 Gegenstände. Eine kleinere und handlichere Ausgabe unseres XL-Bandes mit dem umfassendsten Überblick über die visuelle und materielle Kultur der DDR.Mit zahlreichen Aufnahmen der berühmtesten DDR-Fotografen aus dem Alltag und von offiziellen Anlässen.Mehr Platz für kalte Krieger: Nach Erweiterung und Umbau präsentiert das Wende Museum ab dem 18.

When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change. This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere canaddress this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.
Without a moment's pause, we share our most intimate thoughts with trillion-dollar tech companies. Their algorithms categorize us and jump to conclusions about who we are. They even shape our everyday thoughts and actions - from who we date to how we vote. But this is just the latest front in an age-old struggle.Part history and part manifesto, Freedom to Think charts the history and importance of our most basic human right: freedom of thought. From Galileo to Nudge Theory to Alexa, human rights lawyer Susie Alegre explores how the powerful have always sought to get inside our heads, influence how we think and shape what we buy. Providing a bold new framework to understand how our agency is being gradually undermined, Freedom to Think is a ground-breaking and vital charter for taking back our humanity and safeguarding our reason.
