      Future Sex

      Wie wir heute lieben. Ein Selbstversuch

      by Emily Witt, Hannes Meyer

      Emily Witts Prognose für die weibliche Sexualität lautet: selbstbewusst, frei und unerschrocken. Mit einem wachen Blick, großer Begeisterungsfähigkeit und einer außergewöhnlichen Beobachtungsgabe erforscht die New Yorker Journalistin die neuen Formen weiblicher Sexualität, von Tinder über Feminist Porn bis hin zur Orgasmic Meditation. Emily Witt ist Mitte dreißig, Single und lebt in Brooklyn. Die ideale Voraussetzung für ein bewegtes Liebes- und Sexleben. Könnte man meinen. Doch eigentlich hat auch Witt trotz all der schillernden Angebote ein ganz bestimmtes Ziel im Visier: Ehemann, Kinder und ein Eigenheim. Um die Möglichkeitswelt jenseits der tradierten Ideale zu erkunden, entschließt sich die Journalistin zu einer Reise nach San Francisco, der Hochburg der freien Liebe und der digitalen wie libidinösen Zukunft. Sie durchstreift die Sphären des Internetdatings, feiert auf einer Hochzeit von Polyamoristen, spricht mit der Königin eines feministischen Kinky-Porn-Unternehmens, sie sondiert und überschreitet ihre eigenen Grenzen bei dem legendären Exzessfestival »Burning Man« und begibt sich ins Zentrum der »Orgasmic Meditation«. Am Ende ihrer Reise steht eine überraschende Erkenntnis.

      by Christian Kaunert, Anjali Raghav, Bhupinder Singh, Sanjeev Kumar

      This edited book represents a groundbreaking effort to illustrate how artificial intelligence (AI) shapes the future of agrifood systems in terms of sustainability and resilience. As the global food system faces challenges like climate change, depletion of water and biodiversity and increases in population and consumption, this book is the first comprehensive review of how systems utilizing artificial intelligence can help solve these important challenges. The chapters cover themes from precision farming to crop monitoring, predictive modeling and smart irrigation, offering real-world insights and interdisciplinary perspectives on the transformative potential of AI for agri-tech. This volume brings together contributions from leading experts, researchers and practitioners in agriculture, technology, and policy, illuminating case studies, scalable innovations, and ethical implications. It explores the socio-economic implications of AI adoption in farming communities, emphasizing the need for innovation to be driven by principles of equity and environmental stewardship. This book provides bold visions as well as practical approaches, such as developing and implementing AI tools to craft policy frameworks, to revolutionize agri-food systems for a more sustainable, food-secure future.

      The Forest of the Future – A New Reality

      Understanding the ecosystem

      by Hans Jürgen Böhmer

      What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.

      Find me in the Storm

      by Kira Mohn

      Not a single soul as far as the eye can see. Just sea, cliffs and the beach. And a lighthouse. It’s a wondrously beautiful place – not that Airin has a chance to enjoy it.

It’s a lot of work for one person, but normally everything runs smoothly. Until Joshua, the nephew of the lighthouse owner, moves in. Arrogant and priggish, he complains ceaselessly about everything. Airin feels like strangling him. Or kissing him. Who cares, just as long as he stops talking! 16+ years The third volume of a unique romance trilogy about three young women, a lighthouse and love. All titles can be read separately! Rousing characters and a fine dry humor For all fans of Mona Kasten, Laura Kneidl and Colleen Hoover! More than 60.000 copies of this series were sold!

      Renunciation and Freedom

      Survivial in the future

      by Jean-Pierre Wils

      The situation in our society is precarious. The ecological shocks are omnipresent. The mere continuation of our lifestyles fixated on expansion and self-development has long since reached its limits. As if intoxicated by ourselves, we consume our world voraciously and without restraint. We need moderation and frugality that lead us out of the ecological and social dead ends and hold both the individual and Politics to account. We are by no means powerless and are perfectly capable of leading a life that offers prospects for a humane future. However, our idea of freedom needs urgent correction. For this endeavour to succeed, we need the courage to face reality and the willingness, in a spirit of solidarity, to say goodbye to a false life and join the alliance of renunciation and freedom. Then we will be free – differently and better.
