Conflicts of Interest in Science: How Corporate-Funded Academic Research Can Threaten Public Health
30+ Years of Peer-Reviewed Studies on the Corporate Ties and Vested Interests that Influence Scientific Research For over 500 years, groups and organizations with political, economic, and personal interests have successfully exercised influence on the pursuit of scientific inquiry and knowledge. History is replete with examples like the Papal authority muddying research into studies of the cosmos, but far less attention is paid today to the various corporate and special interest groups who, through funding and lobbying efforts, have been able to shape the modern academic and scientific landscape to fit their agenda. In Conflicts of Interest in Science, author Sheldon Krimsky compiles twenty-two peer-reviewed, academic articles that examine the complex relationship between the individual scientists conducting research and the groups who fund them. Ultimately, Krimsky's call to action concerns a collective movement among authors, peer reviewers, corporations and journal editors to disclose the sources of their funding. By holding scientists and the groups that fund them more accountable through increased transparency, we as a society can begin to rebuild trust in the integrity of knowledge.- Shop: buecher

Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency: War Communism in the Twenty-First Century
What does the COVID 19 tell us about the climate breakdown, and what should we do about it?The economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic has been unprecedented. Governments have spoken of being at war and find themselves forced to seek new powers in order to maintain social order and prevent the spread of the virus. This is often exercised with the notion that we will return to normal as soon as we can. What if that is not possible? Secondly, if the state can mobilize itself in the face of an invisible foe like this pandemic, it should also be able to confront visible dangers such as climate destruction with equal force.In Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency, leading environmental thinker, Andreas Malm demands that this war-footing state should be applied on a permanent basis to the ongoing climate front line. He offers proposals on how the climate movement should use this present emergency to make that case. There can be no excuse for inaction any longer.- Shop: buecher

The Performing Arts in Contemporary China (eBook, PDF)
The overthrow of the 'gang of four' in 1976 had profound effects in all areas of Chinese society, and probably nowhere can this be seen more clearly than in the performing arts. Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong's widow, was strongly interested in the performing arts and exercised great influence over them. Professor Mackerras describes this influence and the effects its removal had on the arts in the years after Mao's death, as well as in the years following the Cultural Revolution. This book, first published in 1981, deals not only with opera, the spoken play, music and dance but also with cinema, describing how in all these cases the Chinese have adapted traditional art forms for political, social and propagandist purposes, both domestic and international. It charts the transformations that have taken place in all the multiple aspects of the performing arts and sets them against the development of Chinese society as a whole. It also looks at the role of the actor and performer in society, including their training, social status and livelihood.- Shop: buecher

Glenn Langohr has been relentlessly pursuing God's word since being redeemed from the drug war and a prison cell. He hasn't stopped writing since; with more than 60 published books, he disciples people in Redemption House by following Jesus Christ. In this audiobook, he reveals Matthew's goal, to make clear to Jewish listeners that Old Testament prophecies have been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The author employs no less than 50 quotations from the Old Testament. The book of Isaiah in particular has exercised a great influence on Matthew’s Gospel.The heart of the message that Matthew wants to pass on to his listeners is that Jesus is the Messiah and that with him, the Kingdom of God has "broken into" the world. This audiobook identifies the spiritual war that God's son defeated through his resurrection. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Glenn Langohr.

Benjamin Ashwood: Benjamin Ashwood Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 741min
Life is simple in Ben's small town until an attack brings the arrival of exciting strangers straight out of a story. Before Ben understands what is happening, he embarks on a dangerous journey to help his friends. A mage, demons, thieves, and assassins are just a few of the perils he will face while trying to make it to safety. But things aren't always what they seem, and safety is a fragile concept when the destructive behaviors of the powerful are exercised unchecked. In Ben's world - like our own - politics, the economy, and military might create a system to keep the elite in power at the expense of the common man. As the series unfolds and Ben's knowledge and skills grow, he will have to decide if he wants to live within the system, flee from it, or break it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Yellow Is the Colour of Longing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 296min
The stories in Yellow Is the Colour of Longing are unabashedly critical of the status quo. They pull the lid off normal, everyday life in families and the workplace, sometimes cheekily, sometimes with astoundingly bitter sadness. While 'What the Souls Do at Midnight' and 'A Cat, Utterly Personal' acerbically trace the subtle forms of control exercised on women, the title story explores the absurdity of desire, and 'The Saga of Krishna' refers directly to the series of 'sex-racket' cases that created a huge uproar in recent times in Kerala. This selection showcases Meera's impressive range of narrative techniques and her capacity for dark humour. Appropriately, Devika's translations are hardly faithful in the conventional sense. They are, rather, the result of careful consideration of the different senses of meaning that Meera's writing holds, and of the effort to convey the unique texture of each of her stories. ungekürzt.

Companion Nietzsche
Nietzsche's philosophy exercised a mesmerizing influence on twentieth-century thought, and continues to be a significant source of inspiration for work in all the major branches of philosophical inquiry. A Companion to Nietzsche showcases contemporary research and scholarship, and provides a comprehensive guide to all the main aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy. The volume opens with an introduction to Nietzsche's life and thought and an essay on his art of the aphorism. This is followed by major sections on Art, Nature, and Individuation; Nietzsche's Philosophy of the Future; Philosophy of Mind; Philosophy and Genealogy; Ethics; Politics; Aesthetics; and Evolution and Life. In addition, there are fresh treatments of Nietzsche's core and enigmatic doctrines such as eternal recurrence, the will to power, and the overhuman. The volume profiles the latest research into Nietzsche's texts (published and unpublished) and reflects trends in recent scholarship, such as the renewed focus on Nietzsche's naturalism and interest in his philosophy of time, of nature, and of life. Contributors include both rising stars and established scholars and form an international cast comprising many of the leading commentators on and interpreters of Nietzsche.- Shop: buecher
