Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -After the brief respite that followed the fall of the USSR, geopolitics and major wars are back, affecting everyone everywhere. In a world transitioning to multipolarity Great Powers jostle for supremacy, regional powers feel emboldened to act on their own ambitions, supply chains are disrupted and instability becomes the norm. America has an empire that it wants to keep, Russia lost an empire that it wants to recover and China doesn¿t have an empire and wants one - with India the wildcard. But there is more to it than Great Power rivalry. From Ukraine to the South China Sea, from the Middle East to Central Asia, from the Arctic to outer space Bongiovanni lays it bare in this fascinating journey across the geopolitics of our time with, in the background, de-globalization, the battle against the dollar and the new AI-driven age.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Marke und Mythos.Eine kulturphilosophische BetrachtungIn Marken treten die Sehnsüchte des modernen Menschen hervor. In Nike die Hoffnung darauf es zu schaffen, wenn man es nur einfach tut; in einem Mercedes das Streben nach Status und in einer Master-Card verdichtetet sich die Sehnsucht nach denjenigen Momenten, die man für Geld nicht kaufen kann (für die man aber doch welches braucht). Die Liste kann man noch sehr lange fortsetzen. Trotzdem diese Markenbotschaften in den verschiedensten Kulturen verstanden werden, fuhren sie in der kulturphilosophischen Debatte ein Schattendasein. Professionellen Denkern erscheinen Marken im harmlosesten Falle als banal und im schlimmsten Falle als Instrument in einem malignen Verblendungszusammenhang. Als Ausdruck des Kapitalismus allemal, dem man kritisch, und das heißt ablehnend gegenübersteht. In einer neutraleren Haltung wird die Beschäftigung mit Marken als Gegenstand von Betriebswirtschaft, Marketing und Design verstanden und damit außerhalb der eigenen Kompetenz angesiedelt. 156 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Von der Physik bis zur Informationstheorie und Kosmologie, von der Struktur tierischer Gesellschaften bis zur linguistischen Analyse der menschlichen Schrift zeigen Systeme, die aus vielen interagierenden Bestandteilen bestehen, oft ein kollektives Verhalten, das sich nicht aus der Interaktion der einzelnen Bestandteile vorhersagen lässt. In Mehr als die Summe der Teile befasst sich Helmut Satz mit verschiedenen Formen dieses komplexen Verhaltens, die erst in den letzten Jahrzehnten gründlich untersucht worden sind. Obwohl diese Studien ihren Ursprung in der Physik haben, erweist sich das Verhalten als universell und reicht von der Struktur des frühen Universums über die Bildung von Vogelschwärmen bis hin zur Häufigkeit von Wörtern in literarischen Texten. Die Komplexität wird somit zu einem immer wichtigeren interdisziplinären Bereich für die künftige wissenschaftliche Forschung.Auf konzeptionelle und nicht-technische Weise erschließt Satz dieses spannende Gebiet für eine allgemeine Leserschaft und für Studierende aller naturwissenschaftlichen Fächer. 232 pp. Deutsch.
