Provocative Plastics

Plastics have now been our most used materials for over fifty years. This book adopts a new approach, exploring plastics’ contribution from two perspectives: as a medium for making and their value in societal use. The first approach examines the multivalent nature of plastics materiality and their impact on creativity through the work of artists, designers and manufacturers. The second perspective explores attitudes to plastics and the different value systems applied to them through current research undertaken by design, materials and socio-cultural historians. The book addresses the environmental impact of plastics and elucidates the ways in which they can and must be part of the solution. The individual viewpoints are provocative and controversial but together they present a balanced and scholarly un-picking of the debate that surrounds this ubiquitous group of materials. The book is essential reading for a wide academic readership interested in the Arts and Humanities, especially Design and Design History; Anthropology; and Cultural, Material and Social Histories.

Der Weltstaat und Nebelgator

In einer fernen Zukunft kämpfen die letzten Homo Sapiens verzweifelt um ihre Existenz. Künstlich gezüchtete Klone sollen sie ersetzen, und der mächtige Weltstaat herrscht mit eiserner Hand. Joseph, ein junger Rebell, wagt das Unvorstellbare: Er will mit dem Raumschiff Nebelgator die Erde verlassen, um auf dem Mars ein neues Leben fernab der allmächtigen Kontrolle zu beginnen. Doch die Flucht ins Ungewisse fordert ihren Preis. Gefahren lauern an jeder Ecke, und die Schatten des Systems reichen weit. Gejagt, verraten und immer wieder geprüft, muss Joseph nicht nur für seine Freiheit kämpfen, sondern auch alles, was er je über die Welt und sich selbst zu wissen glaubte, infrage stellen. Am Ende steht er vor einer Entscheidung, die alles verändert - für ihn und viele andere. Ein fesselnder Roman über den Mut, alles zu riskieren, die Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang und den unerbittlichen Kampf gegen ein System, das keine Fehler verzeiht. Für Leser*innen, die packende Geschichten mit Tiefgang und visionärer Kraft lieben.
