‘Kurzschluss’ by Claudia Kemfert

<p>»Heizungshammer«, »Verbotskultur«, »Dunkelflaute« - die Energiewende zerreißt Familien und Freundeskreise, spaltet Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft. Wie lange bleibt unsere Zukunft noch planbar? Was wird aus meinem Eigenheim, wenn die nächste Krise kommt? Wer wird am Ende wirklich zahlen müssen? Rast Deutschland sehenden Auges in den Abgrund? Die brutale Realität: Das 1, 5-Grad-Ziel ist Geschichte, Ressourcenkriege verwüsten bereits ganze Kontinente. I n ihrem neuen Buch konfrontiert Claudia Kemfert uns mit den heute neu gestellten klimapolitischen Fragen und deckt auf, wo Mythen gefährliche Realitäten verschleiern. Sie zeigt, welche Technologien noch funktionieren könnten und wie der Gasausstieg Deutschland zum Technologie-Weltmarktführer macht - wenn uns die Zeit bleibt. Ein Buch für alle, die sich der Illusion verweigern, dass es noch einfache Antworten gibt. Klima und Wirtschaft lassen sich nicht gegeneinander ausspielen.</p>

‘The Martian’ by Andy Weir

<p>A mission to Mars.</p> <p>A freak accident.</p> <p>One man's struggle to survive.</p> <p>Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate the planet while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded on Mars' surface, completely alone. with no way to signal Earth that he's alive. And even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone years before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, Mark won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark's not ready to quit. Armed with nothing but his ingenuity and his engineering skills—and a gallows sense of humor that proves to be his greatest source of strength—he embarks on a dogged quest to stay alive, using his botany expertise to grow food and even hatching a mad plan to contact NASA back on Earth. As he overcomes one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next, Mark begins to let himself believe he might make it off the planet alive. But Mars has plenty of surprises in store for him yet. Grounded in real, present-day science from the first page to the last, yet propelled by a brilliantly ingenious plot that surprises the reader again and again, The Martian is a truly remarkable thriller: an impossible-to-put-down suspense novel that manages tc read like a real-life survival tale.</p>

‘Ins fahle Herz des Sommers’ by Andreas Eschbach

Was, wenn die Zukunft längst begonnen hat - nur ohne uns? Seit Jahren brennt die Sonne erbarmungslos vom Himmel. Die Hitze ist unerträglich, der Süden unbewohnbar, der Staat nur noch Fassade. Wer es sich leisten konnte, ist rechtzeitig nach Nordschottland, Grönland, Kanada oder Sibirien gezogen. Nur wenige Menschen sind in ihrer Heimat geblieben. Fausto ist einer von ihnen. In einem weitgehend aufgegebenen Dorf kämpfen er und einige wenige Nachbarn ums Überleben. Der Alltag ist hart und wenig abwechslungsreich. Bis eines Tages eine schöne, schweigsame junge Frau auftaucht, der die Hitze beneidenswert wenig auszumachen scheint. Fausto verliebt sich und schöpft Hoffnung. Er ahnt nicht, welch unerhörtes Geheimnis mit Valérie verbunden ist ... Ein eindringlicher Roman um ein hochaktuelles Thema und ein beklemmendes Gedankenexperiment

‘Artemis’ by Andy Weir

<p>Jazz Bashara is a criminal.</p> <p>Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent.</p> <p>Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down. But pulling off the impossible is just the start of her problems, as she learns that she's stepped square into a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself—and that now, her only chance at survival lies in a gambit even riskier than the first.</p>

‘The Handmaid's Tale’ by Margaret Atwood

<p>A gripping vision of our society radically overturned by a theocratic revolution, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid's Tale has become one of the most powerful and most widely read novels of our time. Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, serving in the household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife. She may go out once a day to markets whose signs are now pictures because women are not allowed to read. She must pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, for in a time of declining birthrates her value lies in her fertility, and failure means exile to the dangerously polluted Colonies. Offred can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost even her own name. Now she navigates the intimate secrets of those who control her every move, risking her life in breaking the rules. Like Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Handmaid's Tale has endured not only as a literary landmark but as a warning of a possible future that is still chillingly relevant.</p>

‘Movement’ by Thalia Verkade

<p><strong>Our dependence on cars is damaging our health — and the planet’s. Movement asks radical questions about how we approach the biggest urban problem, reflecting on the apparent successes of Dutch cities.</strong></p> <p>Making our communities safer, cleaner, and greener starts with asking the fundamental question: who do our streets belong to?</p> <p>Although there have been experiments in decreasing traffic in city centres, and an increase in bike-friendly infrastructure in the UK, there is still a long way to go.</p> <p>In this enlightening and provocative book, Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet confront their own underlying beliefs and challenge us to rethink our ideas about transport to put people at the centre of urban design.</p> <p>https://scribepublications.co.uk/books-authors/books/movement-9781911344971</p>
