Alligators in the Arctic and How to Avoid Them
Climate change is a matter of extreme urgency. Integrating science and economics, this book demonstrates the need for measures to put a strict lid on cumulative carbon emissions and shows how to implement them. Using the carbon budget framework, it reveals the shortcomings of current policies and the debates around them, such as the popular enthusiasm for individual solutions and the fruitless search for 'optimal' regulation by economists and other specialists. On the political front, it explains why business opposition to the policies we need goes well beyond the fossil fuel industry, requiring a more radical rebalancing of power. This wide-ranging study goes against the most prevalent approaches in mainstream economics, which argue that we can tackle climate change while causing minimal disruption to the global economy. The author argues that this view is not only impossible, but also dangerously complacent.

Let's Go to Hell
The Butthole Surfers remain one of the most enigmatic bands in the history of rock music. Most of their records have no information of any kind, and often with the suggestion that you play them at 69 rpm.... They lived like nomads through much of the 1980s, and built their reputation upon tours that never ended, and shows that resembled hedonistic acid tests. They left a heap of former band members in their wake, and have often alienated as many fans as they've attracted. Here for the first time is the complete story of one of the most controversial and dangerous bands to have emerged from the ashes of the punk rock movement. 'Let's Go to Hell' compiles the scattered memories into the first comprehensive overview of the band. Featuring exclusive interviews, tons of rare and unpublished photographs, and analysis of the band's vast recorded (and unrecorded) efforts, 'Let's Go to Hell' finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told...

Knowledge Graphs
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to knowledge graphs, which have recently garnered notable attention from both industry and academia. Knowledge graphs are founded on the principle of applying a graph-based abstraction to data, and are now broadly deployed in scenarios that require integrating and extracting value from multiple, diverse sources of data at large scale. The book defines knowledge graphs and provides a high-level overview of how they are used. It presents and contrasts popular graph models that are commonly used to represent data as graphs, and the languages by which they can be queried before describing how the resulting data graph can be enhanced ...
Computergesteuerte Spielpartner
Die Auseinandersetzung mit Computerspielen bietet mehr als nur eine Beschäftigung mit vermeintlichen Vexierspielen zwischen Fiktionalität und Realität. Computerspiele laden dazu ein, über menschliche und künstliche Intelligenz nachzudenken und sie reizen zu Sondierungen über die Diagnose einer „Computergesellschaft“ an. Nicht zuletzt fordern die in ihnen präsentierten computergesteuerten Spielpartner dazu auf, an einer soziologischen Sozialtheorie zu arbeiten, die sich auch auf nicht-menschliche Entitäten einzustellen vermag. Doch der Blick auf den soziologischen Forschungsstand ernüchtert: Spiele im Allgemeinen und Computerspiele im Besonderen nehmen kaum die Beachtung ein, die ihnen etwa in den Diskursen der Massenmedien zukommt. Jonathan Harth widmet sich deshalb der Medienpraxis im Umgang mit computergesteuerten Spielpartnern. Es wird deutlich, dass menschliche Computerspieler von computergesteuerten Spielpartnern in unterschiedlichem Maße Trivialitäts- aber auch Personalitätsmerkmale erwarten.
