Die Auseinandersetzung um Migration und Integration, um Flüchtlings- und Asylpolitik ist angesichts des neuen Zuwanderungshochs wieder in vollem Gange. Gleichzeitig aber gibt es keine europäische Asylpolitik, sind die Außengrenzen der EU löchrig, geht die Bundesregierung von überzogenen Zahlen für die qualifizierte Einwanderung aus, werden die Alarmrufe der Städte und Kommunen kleingeredet, wächst das Unbehagen von immer größeren Teilen der Bevölkerung.

"Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" is a seminal work by Albert Einstein, first published in 1916, designed to explain the groundbreaking theories that reshaped our understanding of the universe. In this accessible text, Einstein introduces listeners to the Special Theory of Relativity, which addresses the relationship between space and time, and the General Theory of Relativity, which expands these concepts to include gravity as the curvature of space-time caused by mass and energy.

Fra tutte le teorie scientifiche, la relatività è quella che più ci affascina e ci sconcerta. Andando contro la nostra rassicurante percezione del mondo, ci costringe a prendere atto che spazio e tempo non sono due dimensioni fisse e separate, ma si contraggono e si dilatano, sfumando l'una nell'altra, fino a perdere la loro individualità. La realtà è, dunque, molto più strana di quello che appare. Tutto ciò può sembrare misterioso o comprensibile solo agli addetti ai lavori. Ma non è così.

Humans and fungi share nearly 50 percent of the same DNA. Because we're related, designing drugs to combat the varieties that attack us is a challenge. Meanwhile, in an ever hotter, wetter world, fungi may be finding new ways to thrive, queueing up global outbreak potentials for which no vaccine and woefully few medications exist; some fungi are already beginning to resist treatment. Among other lifeforms, bats, amphibians, and essential crops are also increasingly threatened by these pathogens.

Ingo Swann -- renowned psi researcher -- reveals a long-held secret series of experiences with a "deep black" agency whose apparent charter was simple: UFOs and extraterrestrials on the moon and worries about ET telepathic/mind control powers. The agency was so secret that it had no paper trail, and hence no written secrecy agreements. Only the verbal ones, which in Ingo's case expired several years ago.

We are told that in Tartary, each native makes the iron he needs, just as every household would make its own bread. The furnace is a very small affair, not holding more than three pounds of ore. This is filled with ore and charcoal. The bellows are used, and after the charcoal is all burned out, the result is a small piece of spongy iron, which needs only repeated heating and hammering to be made serviceable.

The book concludes with a look at the sun in light of scientific discovery.

Over 500,000 years ago, a single gene mutated. It spread over time, becoming critical in the journey transforming our earliest ancestors into fully modern humans, capable of navigating the entire planet and beyond. Then just a few thousand years ago, humans gradually outsourced knowledge to writing, and we displaced art and music from the heart of learning. This is the extraordinary story of the discovery of a supergene that makes us uniquely human.

As science and technology rapidly permeate our lives, we may soon lose control of their tremendous impact on all facets of our society. Instead of making positive or negative projections, this book delves into the specifics of forthcoming changes and how much impact we may have to direct them in our favor. Closely tied together, the evolution of humankind alongside machines is gearing up for the merging of both and the formation of a new entity: a Simorgh whose decisions will be beyond our control.
