Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments

Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments by T. L. Huchu is the second spellbinding book in the Edinburgh Nights series. "Stupendously engaging." - Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London Some secrets are meant to stay buried When Ropa Moyo discovered an occult underground library, she expected great things. She's really into Edinburgh's secret societies - but turns out they are less into her. So instead of getting paid to work magic, she's had to accept a crummy unpaid internship. And her with bills to pay and a pet fox to feed. Then her friend Priya offers her a job on the side. Priya works at Our Lady of Mysterious Maladies, a very specialized hospital, where a new illness is resisting magical and medical remedies alike. The first patient was a teenage boy, Max Wu, and his healers are baffled. If Ropa can solve the case, she might earn as she learns - and impress her mentor, Sir Callander. Her sleuthing will lead her to a lost fortune, an avenging spirit and a secret buried deep in Scotland's past. But how are they connected? Lives are at stake and Ropa is running out of time.

Edge of Chaos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 507min

Why our democracies need urgent reform, before it's too late. A generation after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world is once again on the edge of chaos. Demonstrations have broken out from Belgium to Brazil led by angry citizens demanding a greater say in their political and economic future, better education, heathcare and living standards. The bottom line of this outrage is the same; people are demanding their governments do more to improve their lives faster, something which policymakers are unable to deliver under conditions of anaemic growth. Rising income inequality and a stagnant economy are threats to both the developed and the developing world, and leaders can no longer afford to ignore this gathering storm. In Edge of Chaos, Dambisa Moyo sets out the new political and economic challenges facing the world, and the specific, radical solutions needed to resolve these issues and reignite global growth. Dambisa enumerates the four headwinds of demographics, inequality, commodity scarcity and technological innovation that are driving social and economic unrest, and argues for a fundamental retooling of democratic capitalism to address current problems and deliver better outcomes in the future. In the 21st century, a crisis in one country can quickly become our own, and fragile economies produce a fragile international community. Edge of Chaos is a warning for advanced and emerging nations alike: we must reverse the dramatic erosion in growth, or face the consequences of a fragmented and unstable global future. ungekürzt.

Mediale Stimmentwürfe

Bevor ,sprechende' Navis, Computer und Smartphones unseren Alltag eroberten, war es hauptsächlich die Science-Fiction, die uns eine Vorstellung von der Beschaffenheit künstlicher Stimmen vermittelte. Doch so wenig diese fiktionalen Stimmen neutral gestaltet waren, so wenig sind es die digital generierten Stimmen heutiger Applikationen und Betriebssysteme. Bis jetzt mangelt es jedoch an Untersuchungen, die zugleich theoretische, medienpraktische und kulturübergreifende Aspekte vokaler Designs in IT-Erzeugnissen und den Medien berücksichtigen.Das Forschungsprojekt "Kulturelle Implikationen medial konstruierter Stimmen" des Grimme-Forschungskollegs an der Universität zu Köln durchleuchtete mediale Stimmentwürfe dahingehend, welche Sozialvorstellungen ihnen innewohnen. Denn obwohl vielfach alternative Stimmklangmodelle jenseits fixierter Normen genutzt werden könnten, scheint bei Nutzerinnen der Wunsch nach normativen Vokalitäten vorzuherrschen. Bedarf die sprachbasierte Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation hergebrachter, vertrauter kultureller Normen, und geraten dabei andere, diversere Optionen aus dem Blick?Auch die Möglichkeiten und Auswirkungen der Stimmveränderung in der Musik und anderen Künsten im digitalen Zeitalter wurden genauer betrachtet. Schließlich spielten medienhistorische Zusammenhänge eine Rolle: Wann und wie kam es erstmals zur Vermenschlichung künstlicher Stimmen? Wie wandelte sich die stimmliche Konstruktion sozialer, ethnischer und geschlechtsbezogener Rollenbilder im Lauf der Mediengeschichte?Der Sammelband greift wesentliche Aspekte des Forschungsprojektes auf. Er enthält Beiträge und Interviews von und mit Christine Bauer & Johanna Devaney, Marc Böhlen, Oksana Bulgakowa, Lílian Campesato & Fernando Iazzetta, Laura Dreessen, Marcus Erbe, Judith Kirberger, Malte Kobel, Doris Kolesch, Katharina Makosch, Katherine Meizel, Dumisani & Kundai Moyo, Stefanie Ray, Aycha Riffi, Colleen Sanders, Nadia S. Zaboura und Wolfgang Zielinski.

Winner Take All: China's Race for Resources and What It Means for the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min

Commodities permeate virtually every aspect of modern daily living, but for all their importance - their breadth, their depth, their intricacies, and their central role in daily life - few people who are not economists or traders know how commodity markets work. Almost every day, newspaper headlines and media commentators scream warnings of impending doom - shortages of arable land, clashes over water, and political conflict as global demand for fossil fuels outstrips supply. The picture is bleak, but our grasp of the details and the macro shifts in commodities markets remain blurry. Winner Take All is about the commodity dynamics that the world will face over the next several decades. In particular, it is about the implications of China’s rush for resources across all regions of the world. The scale of China’s resource campaign for hard commodities (metals and minerals) and soft commodities (timber and food) is among the largest in history. To be sure, China is not the first country to launch a global crusade to secure resources. From Britain’s transcontinental operations dating back to the end of the 16th century, to the rise of modern European and American transnational corporations between the mid 1860s and 1870s, the industrial revolution that powered these economies created a voracious demand for raw materials and created the need to go far beyond their native countries. So too is China’s resource rush today. Although still in its early stages, already the breadth of China’s operation is awesome, and seemingly unstoppable. China’s global charge for commodities is a story of China’s quest to secure its claims on resource assets and to guarantee the flow of inputs needed to continue to drive economic development. Moyo, an expert in global commodities markets, explains the implications of China’s resource grab in a world of diminishing resources.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material ungekürzt.
