Jaffe Andrew H.: The Random Universe

The Random Universe

How Models and Probability Help Us Make Sense of the Cosmos

A prescient, thoughtful and chilling examination of the current state of the world If there are lessons from history, now is the time when we need to heed them, so that we do not end up in another Great Power war because of the fatal combinations of jingoism, fear, fatalism, and sheer stupidity that set off the first major war of the 20th century. The great majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability, presided over by either one or two superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful; but it has to an extent been predictable. As an increasing number of Great Powers now jostle for regional supremacy our world has become more fragile, unpredictable - and combustible. The great majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability, presided over by either one or two superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful; but it has to an extent been predictable. As an increasing number of Great Powers now jostle for regional supremacy our world has become more fragile, unpredictable - and combustible. To understand the threats that face us in this complex new terrain, we must look to the lessons of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century - a time when Great Powers clashed and sought regional dominance, when nationalism and populism were on the rise, and many felt that globalization had failed them: a time, in other words, that carries eerie parallels with our own.

Power, Conflict and Warnings from History

The Coming Storm

'An exhilarating exploration of how we've been touched by the cosmos across human history' LEWIS DARTNELL 'Combines scientific expertise with vivid storytelling and a childlike wonder that shines on every page' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT What draws us to the night sky and how can we make sense of all that lies there? In this unique synthesis of science and culture, former astrophysicist and writer Joanne Baker charts the global history of humanity's relationship with the cosmos. Starting with the nearby Moon before venturing through the solar system to the stars and beyond, she unveils a rich mosaic of stories and research that illuminate the significance of celestial bodies in our everyday lives. It is a history that transcends borders and cultural traditions, taking us from Mesopotamian moon worship to the science fiction of H. G. Wells and the discovery of black holes. Driven by a personal quest to understand the universe as more than just an abstract mathematical realm, Baker also includes her own sparkling first-hand experiences - from watching a total solar eclipse in Idaho to visiting an ancient observatory in Samarkand. Starwatchers invites readers on an extraordinary journey through space that interrogates the boundaries of our earthly existence and encourages us to reflect on how we project meaning onto the skies.

Herzgeflüster

+++ Aufwendig gestaltete Ausgabe mit Farbschnitt +++
 Einige Monate nach ihrer zufälligen Begegnung an einer Raststation sind Laura und Mike noch immer Hals über Kopf ineinander verliebt - doch die Entfernung zwischen ihren Wohnorten zerrt an ihnen. Um endlich wieder Zeit füreinander zu haben, wagen sie etwas Verrücktes: einen Roadtrip quer durch Europa, als Erinnerung an den Moment, der ihr Leben verändert hat. Was als romantisches Abenteuer beginnt, wird schon vor der Abfahrt zur Herausforderung, denn unerwartete Anhalter und spontane Umwege bringen selbst die größte Verliebtheit ins Wanken. Zwischen atemberaubenden Landschaften, chaotischen Begegnungen und impulsiven Entscheidungen müssen Laura und Mike lernen, dass Nähe mehr bedeutet als gemeinsame Kilometer - und dass Liebe manchmal genau dann wächst, wenn nichts nach Plan läuft.Eine warmherzige, turbulente Liebesgeschichte über Zusammenhalt, Fernweh und die Magie eines Sommers, der zeigt, wohin der richtige Mensch an deiner Seite dich wirklich führen kann.

Mit wunderschönem Farbschnitt

Virtuelle Lebenswelten

Hidden from view, university data infrastructures circulate, process and store scientific data while requiring extensive energy and metal extraction. The authors of this volume offer a speculative engagement with cultures of scientific competition, institutional habits, server procurement and regulations, and with funding procedures that each in different ways contribute to scientific computing and its planetary effects. Short speculative ethnographic texts and original line art offer witty and thought-provoking takes on the challenges data-driven science faces in times of climate change.

Die Universität ist immer schon eine Institution der Virtualität gewesen. Sie nimmt andere Welten, Gesellschaften, Wissensformen, Naturen oder Techniken in den Blick und ist eine Institution der Spekulationen ohne doppelten Boden - vor allem aber ein Raum des Austauschs, der Zirkulation und der Kommunikation sowie der Medien, die all dies ermöglichen. Die Beiträge machen Virtualität nicht nur zum Gegenstand, sondern begreifen sie als Medium der Forschung, der Lehre und der Universität. Sie erinnern an das, was wir tun, wenn wir an der Universität forschen und lehren und dabei über diese Institution nachdenken, indem wir die Möglichkeiten ihrer Zukünfte und die Versprechen ihrer Vergangenheiten ausloten.

Virtuelle Universität – Geistes- und gesellschaftswissenschaftliche Zugänge

This book provides the first comprehensive comparative and empirical analysis of the state of harmonisation in EU copyright law in the 27 Member States, and the UK, at the level of national courts. For 3 decades, the EU has harmonised many aspects of copyright law via EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). However, it is not known whether national courts actually comply with it, as a comprehensive analysis of the national case law has not yet been done. This book addresses this major gap in the literature. In the book, a lawyer and a statistician analyse some of the most recent decisions on EU copyright law issued by the 27 Member States and the UK (pre- and post-Brexit), using doctrinal and quantitative methodologies. The main research question addressed is whether there is disharmony in the national case law and whether this is owed to Members States' misimplementing EU copyright legislation, lack of clarity of EU legislation and/or case law, or national courts being unaware, misinterpreting or resisting CJEU case law. The book provides detailed legal analyses and descriptive statistics per topic, per type of work, per country, across countries and over time supported by statistical analysis. Its findings and in-depth reflections on the law and how to improve it are of crucial relevance for policymakers and the judiciary at EU and national level and will interest scholarly audiences in the UK, EU, EEA and beyond.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. An unorthodox guide to making things worth making, from 'the father of the iPod and iPhone' and the creator of Nest. Everyone deserves a mentor. For every career crisis, every fork in the road, you need someone to talk to. Someone who's been there before, who knows exactly how wobbly and conflicted you feel, who can give it to you straight: Here's how to think about choosing a job. Here's how to be a better manager. Here's how to approach design. Here's how to start a company. Here's how to run it. Tony Fadell learned all these lessons the hard way. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Silicon Valley failing spectacularly, and the next 20 building some of the most impactful devices in history - the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. He has enough stories and advice about leadership, design, startups, mentorship, decision making, devastating screwups, and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia. So that's what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box. But Tony's doesn't follow the standard Silicon Valley credo that you have to radically reinvent everything you do. His advice is unorthodox because it's old school. Because it's based on human nature, not gimmicks. Tony keeps things simple: he just tells you what works. He gives you exactly what you need to make things worth making. PRAISE FOR BUILD This is the most fun - and the most fascinating - memoir of curiosity and invention that I've ever read.' Malcolm Gladwell, Host of the Revisionist History podcast. Author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers. Whether you're looking to build a great product, a creative team, a strong culture, or a meaningful career, Tony's guidance will get you thinking and rethinking.' Adam Grant, Author of Think Again &amp; Host of the TED podcast WorkLife

The 12 Levers of Business Performance

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.

Governing AI is about getting AI right. Building upon AI scholarship in science and technology studies, technology law, business ethics, and computer science, it documents potential risks and actual harms associated with AI, lists proposed solutions to AI-related problems around the world, and assesses their impact. The book presents a vast range of theoretical debates and empirical evidence to document how and how well technical solutions, business self-regulation, and legal regulation work. It is a call to think inside and outside the box. Technical solutions, business self-regulation, and especially legal regulation can mitigate and even eliminate some of the potential risks and actual harms arising from the development and use of AI. However, the long-term health of the relationship between technology and society depends on whether ordinary people are empowered to participate in making informed decisions to govern the future of technology - AI included.

Gesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft

Die Public Health Humanities verstehen Gesundheit und Krankheit als kulturell und sozial geprägte Phänomene. Sie ergänzen die empirisch orientierte Multidisziplin Public Health um geisteswissenschaftliche und künstlerische Perspektiven. Dabei fragen sie nach der Bedeutung des Künstlerischen für die Gesundheit, interessieren sich für moralische, soziale und kulturelle Dimensionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit in Kunst bzw. Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.
