In Regenesis, George Church and science writer Ed Regis explore the possibilities of the emerging field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology, in which living organisms are selectively altered by modifying substantial portions of their genomes, allows for the creation of entirely new species of organisms. These technologies - far from the out-of-control nightmare depicted in science fiction - have the power to improve human and animal health, increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and even extend our life span.

Ferdinand von Schirach spricht selbst: Ein ebenso mutiger wie persönlicher Monolog, ein literarisches Spiel. Ferdinand von Schirachs neues Buch "Regen" ist eine Erzählung in Form eines Theatermonologs, den Ferdinand von Schirach ab Herbst 2023 im Rahmen einer großen Premierentournee auf zahlreichen deutschen Bühnen selbst sprechen und aufführen wird: Ein Mann kommt durchnässt aus dem Regen in eine Bar - auf die Bühne - und denkt über Verbrechen und Strafen nach, über das Großartige und das Schreckliche unserer Zeit, über die Würde des Menschen und über sein Leben.

Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticize urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across 30 times as much land.

People talk a lot about the problems with intensive farming. But the problem isn't the adjective. It's the noun. Around the world, farming has been wiping out vast habitats, depleting freshwater, polluting oceans, and accelerating global heating, while leaving millions undernourished and unfed. Increasingly, there are signs that the system itself is beginning to flicker. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, there is another way.

Life is finally shaping up for Trisha. For the first time, she’s with a foster family she doesn’t hate. Her new school is decent, and she even has a boyfriend.

She has to help find an escaped fugitive or be taken to Faerie, a place about which her missing mother told her horror stories.
