Messengers. Who We Listen To, Who We Don't, and Why
- 320 pages

Why are self-confident ignoramuses so often believed? Why are thoughtful experts so often given the cold shoulder? And why do apparently irrelevant details such as a person’s height, their relative wealth, or their Facebook photo influence whether or not we trust what they are saying?These are just some of the questions that behavioural experts Steve Martin and Joseph Marks tackle in their ground-breaking new book Messengers: Who We Listen To, Who We Don’t, and Why. Drawing extensively on the very latest research, they identify the powerful forces that result in some becoming society’s prevailing Messengers, and others ending up woefully ineffectual or under-represented. They examine the worlds of punditry, business and politics to show why being right carries less weight than looking right. And in the process they demonstrate why in a world of ambiguity, uncertainty and fake news it is now increasingly the Messenger who is the message.

Stephen Martin beschreibt in diesem Buch Lebensraum, Verhalten, Ernährung, natürliche Feinde und Gefährdung der Pinguine - dabei wird auch das Verhältnis zwischen Mensch und Pinguin unterhaltsam beleuchtet. Die Kulturgeschichte dieser beliebten Tiere hält viele spannende und so manche weitgehend unbekannte Fakten bereit, die nicht nur erklärte Pinguin-Fans begeistern werden. Auszug „Normalerweise gibt es eine große Kluft zwischen Menschen und wild lebenden Tieren. Sie haben Angst und schrecken vor uns zurück. Doch Pinguine gehören zu den wenigen Tieren, die diesen Graben überwinden. Offenbar halten sie uns ebenfalls für Pinguine. Schließlich stehen auch wir aufrecht, sammeln uns in Gruppen, reden die ganze Zeit und watscheln umher.“ Diane Ackerman
