*From the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens comes an incredible new story of the human race, for younger readers.* We humans aren't strong like lions, we don't swim as well as dolphins, and we definitely don't have wings! So how did we end up ruling the world? The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And it's a true story . . . Have you ever wondered how we got here? From hunting mammoths, to flying to the moon? It is because we are unstoppable. But what made us so? Well, we have the most amazing superpower: the ability to tell stories. Fairy tales have led us from imagining ghosts and spirits to being able to create money (yes, really!). And this has made us very powerful . . . but very deadly. Nothing stands in our way, and we always want more. So get ready for the most amazing story there ever was - the incredible true tale of the Unstoppables. Find out how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals, what football can tell us about being human, how we used our superpower for good and bad . . . and how YOU have the superpower to change the world. With full-colour illustrations showing the relentless rise and rise of the human race, this is history like you've never experienced it before.

Since its original publication in 1975, this groundbreaking work has awakened millions of people to the existence of "speciesism"—our systematic disregard of nonhuman animals—inspiring a worldwide movement to transform our attitudes to animals and eliminate the cruelty we inflict on them. In Animal Liberation, author Peter Singer exposes the chilling realities of today's "factory farms" and product-testing procedures—destroying the spurious justifications behind them, and offering alternatives to what has become a profound environmental and social as well as moral issue. An important and persuasive appeal to conscience, fairness, decency, and justice, it is essential reading for the supporter and the skeptic alike.

In the second "Sapiens" volume, Yuval Noah Harari tells the story of how we took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, famine, disease, and inequality became a part of the human condition. The origins of modern farming are introduced through Elizabethan tragedy, the changing fortunes of domesticated plants and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News, and the story of urbanization is told as a travel brochure offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China.

Das Streben nach Langlebigkeit ist das Ziel jeder Existenz: in der Natur, der Politik, bei Unternehmen und uns Menschen. Oft handeln wir jedoch kurzfristig. In einer sich schnell verändernden Welt ist die Fähigkeit, sofort zu reagieren oder Angebote anzupassen, entscheidend. Gleichzeitig müssen langfristige Strategien für die Zukunft entwickelt und Bewahrenswertes geschützt werden. Die Strategien zur Langlebigkeit sind vielfältig und paradox. Das Abstreifen des Alten und die Erneuerung können ebenso wichtig sein wie das Festhalten an Bestehendem, um kleinere Turbulenzen zu überstehen. Die zentrale Frage bleibt: Wann sollten wir bewahren, wann loslassen? Wo sind robuste Strukturen notwendig, um Langlebigkeit zu sichern, und wo ist kurzfristiges Denken gefragt? Diese Suche nach Antworten zur Kunst der Langlebigkeit wird durch Beiträge von Persönlichkeiten wie Yuval Harari, Sven Regener und Steven Chu bereichert. Sie bringen unterschiedliche Perspektiven ein und reflektieren über die Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten, die mit dem Streben nach Dauerhaftigkeit verbunden sind. Die Diskussion wird durch visuelle Beiträge von Julie Petter und Thomas Walsh ergänzt.

In seinem neuen Buch untersucht Yuval Noah Harari, warum die Welt nicht friedlich ist und wie Menschen aus verschiedenen Gesellschaften miteinander umgehen.
