Publisher's Summary:

»Ein unverzichtbarer Leitfaden für alle, die die Zukunft aktiv mitgestalten wollen.« Claudia Kemfert Inmitten zahlreicher Krisen und verschärfter gesellschaftlicher Debatten verlieren gerade viele Menschen die Hoffnung auf eine gute Zukunft. Wir scheinen vor einer riskanten Wahl zu stehen: Retten wir die deutsche Wirtschaft, sorgen wir für ein auskömmliches Leben für alle, oder verhindern wir gerade noch die Klimakatastrophe? Ein Team renommierter Expert*innen des Club of Rome und des Wuppertal Instituts widerlegt diese Scheinalternativen. Ein gutes Leben für alle mit weniger Ausbeutung von Menschen und Natur ist möglich. Basierend auf umfangreichen Daten und Modellierungen entwerfen sie zwei Zukunftsszenarien für Deutschland: einen fatalen Weg des »Weiter so« oder mutige, echte Veränderungen. Ihre Botschaft ist klar: Soziale Fortschritte und Nachhaltigkeit können sich gegenseitig verstärken. Nur wenn wir sie gemeinsam anpacken, werden wir wirksame Lösungen entwickeln, die alle mitnehmen. Ein eindringlicher Weckruf mit wissenschaftlich fundierten und konkreten Perspektiven … für die Bekämpfung von Ungleichheit und Armut, … für echte Gleichstellung, … für eine verantwortungsvolle Landwirtschaft und Ernährung, … für die Energiewende und … für einen sparsamen Umgang mit Ressourcen. inkl.

Title: [German] - Putins Angriff auf Deutschland: Desinformation, Propaganda, Cyberattacken

Author: Arndt Freytag von Loringhoven, Leon Erlenhorst

Narrator: Thomas Höricht

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 10 minutes

Release date: October 31, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Russland führt einen Informationskrieg gegen den Westen. Dieser Krieg nimmt nicht nur politische Institutionen ins Visier, sondern die deutsche Zivilgesellschaft – also uns Alle. Auch Sie sind schon mit russischer Propaganda in Kontakt gekommen. Egal ob Migration, Covid19, AfD, BSW, Ukraine- oder Gazakrieg; bei allen gesellschaftlichen Debatten manipuliert der Kreml unsere Informationsgrundlagen. Damit wird produktiver Diskurs verhindert, politischer Extremismus gefördert und Vertrauen in die Demokratie zerstört. Dies ist seit Jahren eine verborgene, aber dramatische Realität. Auf allen Medienkanälen, insbesondere auf sozialen Plattformen, verbreitet eine gigantische Propagandaindustrie Halbwahrheiten, Lügen und Verschwörungserzählungen. Deutschland ist besonders im Visier. Das wahre Ausmaß dieser Bedrohung ist kaum bekannt, man sieht lediglich die Spitze des Eisbergs. Dieses Buch belegt das komplexe Zusammenspiel von Geheimdiensten, Medienkanälen, Bots und Trollfabriken in sozialen Netzwerken, Handlangern des Kremls, und die umfangreichen Ressourcen, die von Moskau dafür eingesetzt werden. Die Herausforderungen, die unsere Gesellschaft bewältigen muss, bieten für die russische Desinformation gerade in Deutschland einen fruchtbaren Nährboden. Politik und Gesellschaft müssen diese Gefahr endlich ernst nehmen und Lösungsstrategien umsetzen. Der ehemalige Diplomat Arndt Freytag von Loringhoven und der Philosoph und Propagandaexperte Leon Erlenhorst erklären, wie digitale Manipulation und Unterwanderung in Deutschland funktionieren und machen konkrete Vorschläge, wie wir uns besser schützen können, bevor unser Gesellschaft weiter geschädigt wird.

Title: Key to the City: How Zoning Shapes Our World

Author: Sara C. Bronin

Narrator: Rachel Perry

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 25 minutes

Release date: October 29, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

Title: The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering

Author: Norman G. Finkelstein

Narrator: Barry Abrams

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 29 minutes

Release date: October 29, 2024

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

This iconoclastic study was one of the most widely debated books of 2000. Finkelstein indicts with vigor and honesty those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own personal political and financial gain. This new edition includes updated material discussing the initial reception to the book's publication. In a controversial new study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in American culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust compensation agreements. Leaders of America's Jewish community were delighted that Israel was now deemed a major strategic asset and, Finkelstein contends, exploited the Holocaust to enhance this newfound status. Their interpretations of the tragedy are often at variance with historical events and are employed to deflect any criticism of Israel and its supporters. Finkelstein contends that the main danger posed to the memory of Nazism's victims comes not from the distortions of Holocaust deniers but from prominent, self-proclaimed guardians of Holocaust memory. The Holocaust Industry is all the more disturbing and powerful because the issues it deals with are so rarely discussed.

Title: Who Will Defend Europe?: An Awakened Russia and a Sleeping Continent

Author: Keir Giles

Narrator: Keir Giles

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 57 minutes

Release date: October 24, 2024

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Who will defend Europe? The answer should be obvious: Europe should be able to defend itself. Yet, for decades, most of the continent enjoyed a defense holiday, outsourcing protection to the United States while banking an increasingly illusory 'peace dividend'. Now, after three decades of reducing armed forces and drawing down defense industries, Europe finds itself close to unprotected—while Russia is intent on continuing its war of expansion, and the United States is distracted and divided. In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. He explains how the West's unwillingness to confront Russia has nurtured the threat, and that Putin's ambition puts the whole continent at risk. He assesses the role and deficiencies of NATO as a guarantor of hard security, and whether the European Union or coalitions of the willing can fill the gap. Above all, Giles emphasizes the need for new leadership in defense of the free world after the United States has stepped aside—and warns that the United Kingdom's brief moment of setting the pace for Europe has already been squandered.
