*The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life.In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

Was wäre die Moderne ohne Religion? Welche Position nimmt Religion im Gefüge unserer modernen Gesellschaft ein? Ist sie nur ein Anachronismus, der den Wachstumskurs im globalen Wettkampf stört? Nur eine Spielart des Aberglaubens, der man privat gerne nachgehen darf, die man öffentlich aber bitte verschweigen soll? Dass die christlichen Kirchen hierzulande - auch unabhängig der aktuellen Skandale - ein massives Problem haben, ist kein Geheimnis. Nicht nur der Mitgliederschwund belegt dieses Resonanzproblem. Was aber, wenn Religion insgesamt keine Resonanz mehr in der demokratischen Gesellschaft erzeugt? Der renommierte Soziologe Hartmut Rosa stellt die Frage, die nicht weniger als zukunftsweisend für die Entwicklung unserer Moderne sein wird: Was verliert die Gesellschaft, was verliert die Demokratie, wenn die Religion darin keine Rolle mehr spielt? Worin liegt das Potenzial der Religion für unsere Zukunft als Demokratie? Ist es wirklich so klug, auf den reichen Schatz des Religiösen zu verzichten? In gewohnt messerscharfer Manier analysiert Rosa unsere Moderne und wagt das Gedankenspiel, was geschieht, wenn das Ideenreservoir jahrhundertealter Religionen in einer hochmodernen Gesellschaft verloren geht. Ein leidenschaftlicher Text, der auf Rosas Vortrag beim Würzburger Diözesanempfang am 17. Januar 2022 beruht. Mit einem Vorwort von Gregor Gysi.

When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action. The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, and now we face a critical decision. Whether to be optimistic or fatalistic, whether to profess skepticism or to take action. Yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics. And a shift from thinking about climate change as a "me" problem to a "we" problem. The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and illustrators that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. Drawing on over 1,000 data points, the book uses cartoons, quotes, illustrations, tables, histories, and articles to lay out carbon's impact on our food system, ocean acidity, agriculture, energy, biodiversity, extreme weather events, the economy, human health, and best and worst-case scenarios. Visually engaging and built to share, The Carbon Almanac is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change. This isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere can address this on its own. Self-interest only increases the problem. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

For people who want a reliable source of information to guide them in the fascinating and complex world of pearls-natural, cultured and imitation.

"The most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts pulls back the veil of mystery that has too long cloaked the most valuable building blocks of modern science. Sean Carroll, with his genius for making complex notions entertaining, presents in his uniquely lucid voice the fundamental ideas informing the modern physics of reality. Physics offers deep insights into the workings of the universe but those insights come in the form of equations that often look like gobbledygook. Sean Carroll shows that they are really like meaningful poems that can help us fly over sierras to discover a miraculous multidimensional landscape alive with radiant giants, warped space-time, and bewilderingly powerful forces. High school calculus is itself a centuries-old marvel as worthy of our gaze as the Mona Lisa. And it may come as a surprise the extent to which all our most cutting-edge ideas about black holes are built on the math calculus enables. No one else could so smoothly guide readers to grasping the very equation Einstein used to describe his theory of general relativity. In the tradition of the legendary Richard Feynman lectures presented sixty years ago, this book is an inspiring, dazzling introduction to a way of seeing that will resonate across cultural and generational boundaries for many years to come"--
