Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Entrepreneur and futurist Hans Georg Näder takes us on a journey to the remaining secrets of the human body. Futuring Human Empowerment offers an exclusive look at laboratories and think tanks worldwide that are normally closed to the public and where the most innovative researchers, engineers and start-ups are working to expand the capabilities of the human body through artificial intelligence and progressive technologies. In exclusive, in-depth conversations, experts explain how they are using biotechnologies in the fights against pandemics and cancer, mobilizing the human body's hidden self-healing powers, deciphering the mathematical algorithm of life, cultivating stem cells on an industrial scale, and printing artificial replacements of vital organs on 3D bioprinters. Another focus of the book is the design of the human-machine interface. While humanity entered the age of robots and cyborgs long ago, robot 'co-workers' are increasingly taking on more of the workload in modern industry, and numerous technologies are seamlessly incorporated into the human body, releasing its unseen potential.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A decade ago, Ken Light traveled across the United States photographing the country, an empire he realized was the most fragile of organisms. The photographs of the earlier years in this book create the context for understanding how America lost its way. Light reached all four corners of the country to document people across race, class and political lines. We see the heartland and the coastal cities, Wall Street and rural small towns.As he continued, seismic changes erupted across America and the country descended into an age of crisis. He photographed protests and Washington politicians in Congress and the White House, climate change disasters and environmental defenders, the rise of the regime of Donald Trump, the Trump rallies and America's reactions to it all. He comprehensively probed the fractured social and economic condition, going beyond the tropes of inequality we all recite by heart to create a visual portrait of a country mired in calamity, its people deeply splintered, angry and in pain.The resulting portrait of the American social landscape is a riveting historical and visual record of a complicated country in a complicated time. It is compelling, and one of the earliest photographic accounts of an age that historians and citizens will be scrutinizing for generations to come.
