The Uncertain Science of Certainty

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.

The number one global bestseller and Book of the Year 2025 for Audible, The Times, Cosmopolitan, The Economist and more. 'Amazing: of all the books in all the world Mr Free Speech Zuckerberg wants to ban, it's the one about him' - Marina Hyde 'Jaw-dropping . . . A tell-all tome' - Financial Times 'A Bridget Jones's Diary-style tale of a young woman thrown into a series of improbable situations' - The Times Sarah Wynn-Williams joined Facebook believing the company could change things for the better.

**LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026** 'Sublime ... A true masterpiece' DAILY TELEGRAPH, ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'Mind-blowing' GUARDIAN 'Wondrous. Gives us trees as we've never seen them before' ISABELLA TREE, author of Wilding The extraordinary story of the inventive and astonishing ways trees have shaped our natural world. Over hundreds of millions of years, from the prehistoric forests to those standing tall over us today, trees have evolved to sculpt the environments. They split rock, change sex, spin carbon, and manipulate bacteria, animals and even humankind to achieve their ends and shape the natural world. In The Genius of Trees, Harriet Rix takes us on a mind-expanding, globe-spanning journey into the remarkable inner lives of trees. For the first time, we see trees not as victims, but as powerful agents of change in a grand ecological narrative - as leading actors in the great drama of life on earth who have transformed our planet and offer us hope for its future. **A TELEGRAPH, COUNTRY LIFE, NEW YORKER AND CRITIC BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025** 'Exceptional ... Changes our entire view of trees' ROBIN LANE FOX, Financial Times Gardening Columnist 'Full of wonder and revelation' SUE STUART-SMITH, author of The Well Gardened Mind 'Captivating' COUNTRY LIFE 'Profoundly inventive' INDEPENDENT 'A magisterial tour de force - destined to become a classic' BEN RAWLENCE, author of The Treeline

Politisches Sachbuch (Wochenschau Verlag)

Politisches Handeln löst hin und wieder nur Kopfschütteln aus. Dies wirft die Frage auf, ob oder wie es sich erklären lässt. Dabei kann eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Politik auch ein Nachdenken über eigenes politischen Verhalten anregen. Zugleich geht es um Denkanstöße, wie Politikverdrossenheit entgegengewirkt und wie Demokratie gefördert werden kann. 
Mit diesen Zielen zeigt der Autor Bedingungen politischen Handelns auf und erläutert sie unter Rückgriff auf Ansätze aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen. So werden Lesende unterstützt, gesellschaftlich relevantes Handeln besser zu verstehen und zu reflektieren. 
Alle, die Verantwortung für unser Gemeinwesen tragen - sei es in öffentlichen Ämtern, in den Medien oder als mündige Bürgerinnen oder Bürger - erhalten so vielfältige Anregungen, wie sie zum Gelingen unseres Zusammenlebens beitragen können.

Vom Reden in der Politik bis zum Wahlverhalten

Politisches Handeln verstehen - auch in schwierigen Zeiten

What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge? *Updated with a new Introduction* 'Thrilling...vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER 'A bold reframing of one of the most misunderstood technologies of the modern age ... This book stands out for its capacity to disarm' Literary Review Sunday Times, i Paper and Nature Book of the Year This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power. Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future. 'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN 'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' HANNAH RITCHIE 'So interesting ... it'll answer all our questions' JEREMY VINE

A Brief History of Computing

Europa steht vor einer historischen Weggabelung und vor einer doppelten Transformation:
Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit sind die beiden Kräfte, die unsere Industrie, Gesellschaft
und Politik in den kommenden Jahrzehnten prägen werden. Zwischen geopolitischen
Spannungen, technologischen Umbrüchen und gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen stellt
sich die Frage: Wie kann Europa seine Zukunft aktiv gestalten - selbstbewusst, innovativ und
werteorientiert? 'Zukunft made in Europe' ist ein leidenschaftliches Manifest für eine neue
europäische Selbstbestimmung. Das Buch verbindet politische Analyse, wirtschaftliche
Visionen und kulturelle Reflexionen zu einem Gesamtbild, das Europa als aktiven
Zukunftsraum neu denkt. Es ist ein Weckruf an Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, die
Gestaltung der Zukunft nicht anderen zu überlassen. Dieses Buch zeigt, warum gerade die
europäische Industrie die Chance hat, durch die Verbindung beider Themen nicht nur
wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben, sondern globaler Vorreiter zu werden.
