An in-depth examination of how the United States can build more effective partner militaries Military assistance has a bad reputation. Large-scale attempts to build partner militaries in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam cost the United States billions of dollars and ended ignominiously, with the...

NEW YORK CITY IN THE 1970S WAS A CULTURE OF OPEN CORRUPTION. EVERYONE WHO WAS ANYONE WAS IN ON THE GRIFT. Ford to City: Drop Dead. It’s the most famous tabloid headline of all time (with apologies to “Headless Body in Topless Bar”). It also supplied the narrative that came to be accepted as truth regarding the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975—an uncaring, hapless, accidental President Ford abandoning America’s greatest city in its hour of maximum need.

Retail pharmacy stands at a breaking point. Burnout is rising. Staffing is collapsing. Automation is accelerating. Unionization is no longer a theory.

Written by an industry insider, this audiobook blends real frontline experience with strategic insight.

Joachim Bauer beleuchtet die Kluft zwischen digitaler Technik und den biologischen und sozialen Bedürfnissen des Menschen. Er zeigt, warum sich menschliche Begabungen nicht an der Fähigkeit zur Datenverarbeitung messen lassen, warum wahre Intelligenz ihren Ursprung in körperlichen Erfahrungen hat und welche Konsequenzen sich daraus für unsere Bildungseinrichtungen ergeben. Der Arzt, Neurowissenschaftler und Bestseller-Autor Joachim Bauer begründet die unverzichtbare Bedeutung der analogen Welt als einzigartigen Ort zwischenmenschlicher Zuwendung und sozialer Resonanz.

Hamza Abu Howidy erzählt uns vom Aufwachsen im Gaza der 2000er-Jahre, von seiner Familie, besonders seinem Vater, der ihm beim Muschelsammeln die großen Lektionen des Lebens beigebracht hat, aber auch von den blutigen Kämpfen zwischen Fatah und Hamas, direkt vor seiner Haustür, und wie sehr das Leben in Gaza von Terror geprägt war. Jahre später protestiert er gegen die Hamas und wird festgenommen, gefoltert und muss fliehen.

Care is the foundation of organic life. But its fate in the economy is precarious and uncertain. In our hearts it’s honoured as an irreducible good. But in the market it’s treated as a second-class citizen – barely recognized in the relentless rush for productivity and wealth. How did we arrive in this dysfunctional place? And what can we do to change things? Renowned ecological economist Tim Jackson sets out to tackle these questions in a timely and deeply personal book.

In an era defined by rapid technological advancement and evolving societal norms, we face unprecedented challenges. In the U.S., politicians and media drive societal division, overshadowing facts with opinions and sensationalism. Human issues such as homelessness, poor health care, unemployment, and immigration, are buried behind the heading of ‘politics’. It doesn’t have to be this way.

An urgent, deeply researched reckoning with the role of tech in our classrooms – from neuroscientist, researcher and former teacher Dr Jared Cooney Horvath. Our children are struggling. Is classroom technology to blame? For the first time in recent history, children are falling behind previous...

What if the system you trusted with the most important moment of your life wasn't designed with you in mind? Brittany George spent seventeen years inside the American healthcare system — helping employers, families, and employees navigate coverage, benefits, and access to care. She believed in it. She trusted it. And then she had a baby.

What if the problem isn’t you—but the system you’re living in? In The American Nightmare Project, sociologist Eric Leo delivers a clear, first-person breakdown of why life in the United States has become unaffordable for millions of people—even those who work constantly and do everything they were told to do. This is not a motivational book. It’s an explanation.

The national conversation about education is often loud, filled with political debate, performance metrics, and reform proposals. But beneath that noise, something quieter has been unfolding. Educators are leaving. The pipeline of new teachers is shrinking. Schools are relying on costly stopgap measures. And artificial intelligence is entering classrooms faster than systems are prepared to guide it.

Behind the little red barns dotting the landscape and decorating so many of the products we consume is a dangerous threat. This groundbreaking investigation exposes the powerful forces at work to hide the harms of industrial agriculture, its outsize role in the climate crisis, and its links to the global rise of fascism.

At a time when everyone is going green, most people are unaware that the FBI is using anti-terrorism resources to target environmentalists and animal rights activists. The courts are being used to push conventional boundaries of what constitutes "terrorism" and to hit nonviolent activists with disproportionate sentences. Some have faced terrorism charges for simply chalking slogans on the sidewalk.

This audiobook examines how power operates once policy leaves speeches and enters the real world, where speed replaces caution, oversight weakens, and consequences often arrive long before accountability does. Rather than arguing ideology or partisanship, it tracks outcomes. It follows decisions through executive authority, agency enforcement, budgets, courts, markets, and foreign policy to reveal the widening gap between intention and impact.

Humans to the Power of AI is a guide for leaders who sense the urgency to scale AI, yet feel unsure where to begin or how to make this digital transformation different from the past. It's a guide for leaders who refuse to accept slow progress, mounting complexity, and unrealized innovation as the status quo. AI is accelerating faster than our ability to adopt it, creating a gap between what’s possible and what’s actually happening in the healthcare industry.

Postwar New York City famously expired in a tableau of burning Bronx tenements, subway graffiti, crushing debt, and the tabloid headline “Ford to City: Drop Dead.” The city reemerged from the ashes to reach new heights, whether in stock averages or the gleaming pencil towers punctuating midtown. But at ground level, the city’s basic institutions—its housing, its schools, its public safety—were cracking. The city was rebuilt on a foundation of deep inequality.

Emily M. Bender e Alex Hanna spiegano perché le tecnologie vendute come "intelligenza artificiale" non sono una magia capace di risolvere ogni problema. L'IA di oggi è fatta di sistemi statistici su larga scala, che producono linguaggio e immagini senza comprenderli ‒ non un'intelligenza pensante ma «pappagalli stocastici». Le autrici ne sfatano i falsi miti e mettono in luce le insidie del loro impiego in ambiti chiave ‒ lavoro, sanità, giustizia, istruzione, scienza, arte e giornalismo.

O capitalismo está morto. Bem-vindo ao tecnofeudalismoAs dinâmicas tradicionais do capitalismo não governam mais a economia. O que destituiu esse sistema foi o próprio capital e as mudanças tecnológicas aceleradas das últimas duas décadas, que, como um vírus, destruíram seu hospedeiro. Os dois pilares que sustentavam o capitalismo foram substituídos: os mercados deram lugar às plataformas digitais, que são verdadeiros feudos das grandes tecnologias, e o lucro foi substituído pela pura extração de rendas.
