"Like most of us, Damon Gameau has spent most of his adult years overwhelmed into inaction by the problem of climate change and its devastating effects on the planet. But when Damon became a father, he knew he couldn't continue to look away. So he decided to do what he does best, and tell a story. And the story became an imagining of what the world could look like in 2040, if we all decided to start doing things differently, right now. The result is the era-defining documentary 2040 - a meticulously researched plea for the adoption of community-building, energy-generating, connection-forging, forest-renewing, ocean-replenishing measures that science tells us will reset our planet's health, drive our economies and improve lives across the globe. 2040: A Handbook for the Regeneration shows us how we can stitch this magnificent vision into everyday life by engaging in activities such as cooking, shopping, gardening, sharing, working and teaching our kids. It shows us that climate change is a practical problem that can be tackled by each of us, one small step at a time, and that we can make a genuine difference - if we know what to do. Brimming with practical wisdom and even 50 delicious recipes, 2040: A Handbook for the Regeneration empowers you to become the change you want to see in the world." -- Like most of us, Damon Gameau has spent most of his adult years overwhelmed into inaction by the problem of climate change and its devastating effects on the planet.

A pacy, gripping page-turner of a thriller . . . Dont venture into the future without having read this book Andrew Roberts From the acclaimed authors of the runaway New York Times bestseller 2034 comes an explosive work of speculative fiction about a radical leap forward in artificial intelligence that combines with Americas violent partisan divide to create an existential threat to the country and the world. The year is 2054. It is twenty years after the nuclear war between the United States and China that brought down the old American political order. The new American Dream Party has emerged in the US and held power for over a decade. Many fear the president will stop at nothing to remain in the White House. Suddenly, he collapses in the middle of an address to the nation. After a flurry of misinformation, the administration reluctantly announces his death. A cover-up ensues, conspiracy theories spread like wildfire and the country descends into civil war. A handful of elite actors from the worlds of computer science, intelligence and business have a fairly good idea what happened. All signs point to a profound breakthrough in AI, of which the remote assassination of an American president is hardly the most game-changing ramification. The trail leads to an outpost in the Amazon rainforest: the last known whereabouts of the tech visionary who predicted this breakthrough. As some of the worlds great powers old and new, state and nonstate alike struggle to outmanoeuvre one another in this new Great Game of scientific discovery, the outcome becomes entangled with the fate of democracy itself. Combining a deep understanding of AI, biotech and the possibility of a coming singularity, along with their signature geopolitical sophistication, Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis have once again written a visionary work. 2054 is a novel that reads like a thriller even as it demands that we consider the trajectory of our society and its potentially calamitous destination. 'A satisfying combination of two very different things: chilling vision of things to come and page-turning beach-read' Daily Telegraph <br><br> Autorid: Elliot Ackerman, James Stavridis <br>

From Henri Fabre's first successful take off from water and landing near Marseilles, to the introduction of a hull rather than floats by American Glenn Curtiss, to the world-wide development of huge, ocean-crossing flying boats on both sides of the Atlantic - the passenger flying boat era continues to fascinate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike. Wartime necessity for paved runways to support long-range, high flying land-planes and the faster movement of airmail, overcame in peacetime the unique ability enjoyed by such craft to economically utilise the natural waterways of the world, thus depriving passengers of the ability to enjoy the panorama unfolding below in luxurious accommodation and ease. A sadly missed epoch of flight: though related in clear and vivid detail by Leslie Dawson in his account of a pre-war Imperial Airways flight from Southampton to South Africa. This extended pictorial edition of the author's previous book Fabulous Flying Boats, A History Of The World's Passenger Flying Boats provides a fast-moving journey from the first pioneers to the very last use of such craft in regions still reliant on waterborne communication with the outside world. From the Americas and the United Kingdom, to France, Germany and Italy, and on to Australia and New Zealand. Supported by world-wide private, public and corporate images, the work boasts a comprehensive and well-researched Appendix. <br><br> Autorid: Leslie Dawson <br>

Die Geschichte der modernen Mode - von der Haute Couture zum MassenmarktIm 20. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich die Mode von einem reinen Geschäft der exklusiven Pariser Salons, die einer reichen Elite zu Diensten waren, zu einer weltweiten Industrie mit Millionen von Beschäftigten. Neue Trends schlugen sich in den Läden nieder, kaum dass das letzte Model den Laufsteg verlassen hatte. Im Laufe der Zeit entwickelte sich die typische weibliche Silhouette bis zur Unkenntlichkeit: Die Krinolinen von House of Worth machten Vionnets schräg geschnittenen Kleidern Platz, Diors New Look musste Quants Chelsea Look weichen, und auf die weißen Hosenanzüge von Halston folgten tief geschnittene Jeans von Frankie B. In der Herrenmode bedeuteten Konfektionsanzüge den Niedergang der Maßschneiderei, lange bevor Hawaiihemden, superschmale Krawatten und Baggy-Hosen aufkamen.20th Century Fashion bietet eine elegante Retrospektive der Mode der vergangenen hundert Jahre, die durch 400 Modeanzeigen aus der Jim Heimann Collection veranschaulicht wird. Mit der Bildsprache aus einem Jahrhundert Werbung dokumentiert dieses Buch das unablässige Fortschreiten der Mode, die gleichzeitig im Lauf der Jahrzehnte zu einem Teil der Massenkultur wurde. Eine umfassende Einleitung, Kapitel zu jedem Jahrzehnt und eine illustrierte Zeitleiste stellen Modemacher und Trendsetter von der Haute Couture bis zum Massenmarkt im Detail vor. Und nicht zuletzt geht es darum, wie historische Ereignisse, Designermarken, Handelsketten, Filme, Zeitschriften und Prominente Einfluss darauf nehmen, wie wir uns kleiden - damals wie heute.Der Kulturanthropologe und Grafikdesign-Experte Jim Heimann ist Autor zahlreicher Bücher über Architektur, Popkultur und die Geschichte der amerikanischen Westküste sowie über Los Angeles und Hollywood. Seine einzigartige Privatsammlung von Kuriositäten war schon in Museen der ganzen Welt und in vielen seiner Bücher zu bewundern. <br><br> Autorid: Alison A. Nieder, Jim Heimann <br>

What is the future of Blackness? Obsidian Theatre presents twenty-one versions of it.In 2021, Obsidian Theatre engaged twenty-one writers to create twenty-one new stories about imagined Black futures. Twenty-one to celebrate Obsidian’s twenty-first anniversary in 2021. Each playwright was tasked with scripting a ten-minute monodrama in response to the question “What is the future of Blackness?” To counter the intense early-pandemic isolation and the trauma of witnessing heightened violence toward Black bodies, Obsidian’s goal was to give as many opportunities to as many diverse Black artists as possible and to bring new voices together from both theatre and film. It was a grand experiment to create a rich tapestry of possibilities and to uplift Black artists in the process.A radical offering in unprecedented times, newly appointed Obsidian artistic director Mumbi Tindyebwa Otu’s curatorial aim was joyful, aspirational, and empowering: come together in this moment and create something communal, unapologetically Black, and with the Black gaze at its centre—art as the architecture for creating those futures. <br><br> Autorid: Obsidian Obsidian Theatre <br>

Get fit at home with Woman & Homes fitness guru Hello! My name is Annie Deadman and Im the proud creator of the 21 Day Blast Plan, a three week healthy eating and fitness programme that kicks your sweet tooth into touch, calms your gut and leaves you with less fat and firmer muscles. Just so you know Im not some fake who went on a diet once, found it worked and decided to flog it the masses; Ive been running Annie Deadman Training for the last 15 years. I learnt so much from all my clients about their day-to-day issues, their food intolerances, their lack of time. Men and women were struggling to keep in shape (as well as retain some modicum of self-esteem) while managing a family and work, dishing up healthy meals and trying occasionally to come up for air. Personal training is expensive and I wanted to find a way of helping people get into shape without having to join a gym. I wanted to give them access to something that could help them break habits, get results, stay motivated and was sustainable with a family and work. I also wanted to offer something more: something a bit personal, that would entertain, but most importantly, be effective. So the 21 Day Blast Plan was born an online plan that anyone can sign up to for less than the cost of an annual gym membership. The Blast Plan had some fantastic coverage recently in the national press and bang!overnight a wonderful Blast community was created. And now Im bringing the programme to you within the covers of this book so you too can experience the joy, enlightenment and results of the other Blasters. <br><br> Autorid: Annie Deadman <br>

An authoritative military history of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom, describing the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the siege and fall of Baghdad, and the nation-building mission that followed. An authoritative military history of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom, describing the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the siege and fall of Baghdad, and the nation-building mission that followed.In 21 Days to Baghdad, historian Dr. Heather Stur describes the commitment of the division to Kuwait, the invasion of Iraq and the three weeks of violent desert conflicts on the way to Baghdad before the siege and battle for the city itself, and the “thunder runs” that saw its fall to U.S. forces. She then details the complex security mission that required the soldiers and their commanders to convince Iraqi citizens that the U.S. was there to help them, while at the same time they continued fighting Saddam Hussein's elite Republican Guard, paramilitary forces, and terrorists. This new history is based on exclusive, extensive interviews with General Buford “Buff” Blount, the U.S. Army two-star general who led the 3rd Infantry Division. His years of experience in the Middle East led him to question the recall of his division from Iraq at the end of 2003 and its replacement by a less experienced unit. President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld did not believe that peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance were worthwhile uses of a conventional combat force like the 3rd Infantry Division. The division had destroyed Hussein's government. Mission accomplished, or so Bush and Rumsfeld thought. 21 Days to Baghdad illustrates the long reach of the U.S. military, the limitations of nation building in the wake of war, and the tensions between policymakers in Washington, DC, and troops on the ground over the purpose and conduct of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. <br><br> Autorid: Heather Marie Stur <br>

A genuinely new Second World War story, The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram by David M. Guss is the gripping narrative of an intrepid Scottish soldier's audacious defiance and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. 'An extraordinary and humbling account' Damien Lewis, The Scotsman 'Endlessly fascinating. Cram's story sizzles with adventure' Giles Milton, Sunday Times In November 1941 Lt Alastair Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa as a devastating tank battle unfolded as Operation Crusader struggled to relieve Tobruk. His capture began a four year-long odyssey as he passed through twelve different POW camps, three Gestapo prisons and one asylum. Determined to regain his freedom, he became a serial escapee fleeing his captors no fewer than twenty-one times. In a saga of relentless determination, Cram, along the legendary founder of the SAS, David Stirling, masterminded the audacious 'Cistern Tunnel' escape from the Italian fortress Gavi - a thousand-year-old stronghold housing the most 'dangerous' escape risk prisoners. It became one of the most audacious but little-known mass escape attempts of the entire war. Thrillingly told, this is a record of stamina and courage against unfathomable adversity.
