Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and expensive actions now being considered to stop global warming will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, are often based on emotional rather than strictly scientific assumptions, and may very well have little impact on the world’s temperature for hundreds of years. Rather than starting with the most radical procedures, Lomborg argues that we should first focus our resources on more immediate concerns, such as fighting malaria and HIV/AIDS and assuring and maintaining a safe, fresh water supply....

According to numerous abductees, after being kidnapped by aliens, they are kidnapped again...by the government. These follow-up events are the work of a powerful group hidden deep within the military and the intelligence community. It is the secret agenda of this highly classified organization to figure out what the so-called Grays are really up to. The best way for the government to get the answers is to interrogate those who have come face-to-face with the UFO phenomenon: the abductees.

What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.

This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies.

Beginning in January 2009, The Payoff lays bare Washington’s culture of power and plutocracy. It’s the story of the 20-month struggle by Senator Ted Kaufman and Jeff Connaughton, his chief of staff, to hold Wall Street executives accountable for securities fraud, stop stock manipulation by high-frequency traders, and break up too-big-to-fail megabanks. This book takes us inside their dogged crusade against institutional inertia and industry influence as they encounter an outright reluctance.

What should we do to solve America's border crisis? Whatever it takes! That's the no-nonsense approach of Arizona congressman J. D. Hayworth, one of America's most outspoken and eloquent conservative spokesmen. J. D. has walked the border and seen firsthand the devastation that illegal immigration inflicts on law-abiding Americans. He's read the intelligence reports, talked to the Border Patrol and the Marines, and knows how intolerable illegal immigration is in a post-9/11 world.

Seit Jahren forscht er zu Steuergerechtigkeit und Steuervermeidung. Gerade diejenigen, so sein Befund, die ein im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes unvorstellbares Vermögen angehäuft haben, leisten oft keinen angemessenen Beitrag zur Finanzierung öffentlicher Kassen. Das ist nicht nur ein Problem für die Staatsfinanzen, sondern auch eine eklatante Verletzung des Gleichheitsgrundsatzes. In seinem Hörbuch erläutert er seinen Vorschlag so kompakt wie verständlich und erklärt, wie seine Steuer auch in Deutschland funktionieren kann.

Actionable, road-tested approaches to understanding and tackling poverty in schools The stark reality of poverty and disadvantage in our communities is one of the biggest challenges faced by schools today. Schools need better understanding of the broader impact of poverty and disadvantage and what they can do about it – that's where Tackling Poverty and Disadvantage in Schools comes in. The book is divided into three clear sections on how to understand and tackle poverty across the whole school, in the classroom, and within the community.

Ab 2030 droht eine komplette Überlastung unseres Gesundheitssystems und ein gravierender Sozialkollaps. Deshalb braucht Deutschland eine dringende Neuorientierung: Weg von der teuren Pille und hin zu Vorbeugung, Prävention, Gesundheitsvorsorge und Gesundheitskompetenz. Prof. Dr. Ingo Froböse legt mit dem Journalisten Stefan Sauerzapf den Finger provokant in diese Wunde und zeigt zugleich Lösungen und Strategien auf der gesellschaftspolitischen, aber auch auf der individuellen Ebene jedes einzelnen Bürgers auf, die allesamt aus der Misere führen könnten.

En los últimos años China se ha convertido en una verdadera superpotencia de la IA y el único verdadero contrapeso nacional a Estados Unidos en esta tecnología emergente. Por ello, la forma en que estos dos países decidan competir y cooperar podría llegar a tener consecuencias dramáticas para la economía y la gobernabilidad mundial.

‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’ The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. 

Longtemps rassurée par son appartenance à l'OTAN et sa capacité de dissuasion nucléaire, la France a, pendant des décennies, laissé s'effondrer son budget de défense. L'autonomie stratégique du pays exige désormais une vision à dix ans et un plan de réarmement massif et rapide, qui rétablisse la cohérence entre les menaces, les missions et les moyens pour nos armées. C'est aussi à un réarmement moral et civique qu'il convient de s'atteler. Il est plus que jamais urgent de les restaurer, notamment par le biais d'un service national rénové, pour le succès des armes de la France.

Quel visage a l’école québécoise au XXIe siècle? Dans cet essai clair et percutant, Simon Landry explore les rouages et angles morts du système: poids de la bureaucratie, syndicalisme enseignant, ordre professionnel, formation initiale et continue, définition des tâches, pénurie et rémunération, éducation à l’ère numérique, place du réseau privé, rôle des parents.

Nicholas Potter dokumentiert und analysiert ein erschreckendes Phänomen: die neue autoritäre Linke. Sie gibt sich progressiv, tritt aber seit dem Angriff der Hamas auf Israel zunehmend demokratiefeindlich auf. Der Nahostkonflikt wird dabei zum Vietnam der Gen Z – ein Moment politischen Erwachens. Mit dogmatischem Eifer deutet sie radikalislamistische terroristische Gewalt zum dekolonialen Widerstand um.

On March 24, 2021, in the remote north of Mozambique, 500 ISIS militants attacked the small, paradise beach town of Palma - strategically unimportant but for vast offshore gas fields that had attracted $50 billion in foreign investment, including over £1 billion from the British government. As the Islamists surged through town beheading civilians, a group of men, women and children - including 80 gas plant construction workers - barricaded themselves inside a hotel to await rescue. An oil and gas compound defended by attack helicopters and 1,000 soldiers was just minutes away.

In ihrem neuen Hörbuch konfrontiert Claudia Kemfert uns mit den heute neu gestellten klimapolitischen Fragen und deckt auf, wo Mythen gefährliche Realitäten verschleiern. Sie zeigt, welche Technologien noch funktionieren könnten und wie der Gasausstieg Deutschland zum Technologie-Weltmarktführer macht – wenn uns die Zeit bleibt. Ein Hörbuch für alle, die sich der Illusion verweigern, dass es noch einfache Antworten gibt. Klima und Wirtschaft lassen sich nicht gegeneinander ausspielen.

America is in an undeclared state of emergency. Not since the Cold War has the US faced such powerful enemies—and our military isn’t ready. Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer of Palantir, issues an urgent call to action: Mobilize. The American industrial base once underwrote American victory. Builders and workers rallied to win World War II. For most of the twentieth century, great American companies from General Mills to Chrysler had defense businesses that sent mankind into space and won the Cold War. But the forges fell silent and the furnaces went dark.

The next space race has arrived—driven by rival nations, billionaire-funded ventures, and breakthrough technologies all vying to alter the balance of power on Earth and beyond. "This isn’t science fiction; it’s the blueprint for the world we’re about to inherit.” —Ali Velshi, NBC...

We’re often told that disinformation is everywhere and that it’s endangering our democracy. But what if the war on disinformation itself is really just a weapon to squash any and all legitimate dissent? This program is read by the author. The Information State is an incisive examination of...

Much of the history of United States defense over the course of 250 years has been a story of success. Insulated by two oceans and mostly friendly neighbors, but constantly ambitious abroad, America has dared mighty things and often achieved them, argues defense analyst Michael O'Hanlon. After growing into a continental power, largely through force of arms, during the first half of its history, it then led the way to coalition victories in two world wars, pursued peace in the Cold War, and has contributed to the most democratic period in human history.
