      You for Future

      by Franziska Wessel/ Günther Wessel

      ‘We will not stop demonstrating,’ writes Franziska Wessel in a guest column in the Berliner Zeitung. Franziska is pursuing a goal. Decisive measures must finally be taken to protect the climate. While that is not happening she spends every Friday on the streets, gives interviews and puts pressure on politicians. But climate change isn’t the only thing threatening our future. There is so much suffering, injustice and destruction in the world. Something must be done about it. And as a climate activist, Franziska knows exactly how to be active. Together with her father, the journalist and author, Günther Wessel, she explains: How do I start a petition? How do I organise a campaign? How does lobbying work? So that everyone knows how they can make things happen.

      Pioneering the Future of Sustainable Agriculture With Artificial Intelligence

      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.

      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.

      An imaginative ethnography of Mediterranean illegalised migration

      by Alexandra D'Onofrio

      The present volume emerges from a practice-based research that focuses on experiences of migration and border crossing during what are perceived as existential 'turning points' by the protagonists themselves. It recognizes the fundamental role that imagination plays in people's perceptions of reality, in their decisions and actions, and finally in the way they narrate their experiences. As a consequence, it makes a stance for ethnographic practice to include more creative and collaborative methodologies in order to explore such intangible and unstructured realms of existence. In particular, this ethnography developed theoretically and methodologically in close collaboration with a group of Egyptian men who crossed the Mediterranean Sea in search of better living opportunities in Italy, by engaging them through a range of the co-creative processes such as theatre improvisations, storytelling practices, collaborative filmmaking and participatory animation.

      History and Future of Plants, Planet and People

      Towards a New Ecologically Sustainable Age in People’s Relationships With Plants

      by Alan Hamilton, Pei Shengji

      This fascinating book presents the experiences and pooled knowledge of two very different conservation scientists; Pei Shengji from Sichuan, China and Alan Hamilton from London, UK. They have been drawn together over many years through working on some of the same conservation projects and have discovered that they overlap in their ideas about the sorts of work that needs to be done and how it can best be carried out. The book describes some of their own experiences, set within the contexts of their varied careers and the development of their thinking. Plant conservation is crucial to the preservation of natural ecosystems, but conventional approaches have met with only limited success. The authors have concluded that plant conservationists need social allies - elements of society that have other primary concerns, but whose efforts, if successful, will bring benefits to plant conservation too. It is the state and condition of plants on the ground that ultimately matter in conserving ecosystems, and therefore it is the role of local people who interact directly with them which enables success. Ethnobotany is a key skill required of practical plant conservationists. Its techniques enable them to explore connections between people and plants, learn about local perspectives and establish relationships with the people upon whom conservation and sustainable development relies. This book: recommends how to advance plant conservation, based on real experiences. will inspire more people to become involved in plant conservation. demonstrates how the very different backgrounds of the authors have influenced the courses of their careers, but have enabled them to come to very similar conclusions about conservation practice. demonstrates the importance of geographically-based biocultural diversity, as a counterbalancing force to globalisation.
