Die Lücke im Gesetz : Wie man ungestraft davonkommt (3868832823)

Alles, was gerade noch recht ist. Als Anwalt kennt Ingo Lenßen die Grenzen von Recht und Unrecht ganz genau. Er weiß, wie man um ein Knöllchen wegen überhöhter Geschwindigkeit herumkommt oder warum das Telefonieren am Steuer nicht grundsätzlich mit einem Bußgeld enden muss. Er erläutert, welche Schimpfworte gerade noch in Ordnung sind, wie Sie als Mieter zu Ihrem Rechtkommen oder auf welche Abzocktricks Sie beim Gebrauchtwagenkauf vorbereitet sein müssen. Unterhaltsam und informativ schildert er in seinem Buch, mit welchem Detailwissen man sich in bestimmten Situationen dem Zugriff der Justiz entziehen oder die gegnerische Partei übertrumpfen kann. Ganz legal, weil man eben etwas mehr weiß als die anderen. Angereichert mit Anekdoten aus seiner langjährigen Tätigkeit als Strafverteidiger hat Ingo Lenßen ein einzigartiges Buch geschrieben, das dem Leser interessantes juristisches Know-how bietet.

Empires of the Sea : The Siege of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto, and the Contest for the Center of the World (9780812977646)

In 1521, Suleiman the Magnificent, Muslim ruler of the Ottoman Empire, dispatched an invasion fleet to the Christian island of Rhodes.

The Future of the Professions : How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts (9781511392716)

This book predicts the decline of today's professions and describes the people and systems that will replace them. In an Internet society, according to Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others, to work as they did in the 20th century. The Future of the Professions explains how "increasingly capable systems"--from telepresence to artificial intelligence--will bring fundamental change in the way that the "practical expertise" of specialists is made available in society. The authors challenge the "grand bargain"--the arrangement that grants various monopolies to today's professionals. They argue that our current professions are antiquated, opaque and no longer affordable, and that the expertise of their best is enjoyed only by a few. In their place, they propose six new models for producing and distributing expertise in society. Th...

PRISM AWARDS FINALIST 2021 GREAT GRAPHIC NOVELS FOR TEENS - YOUNG ADULT LIBRARY SERVICES ASSOCIATION (YALSA) 2022 "When I was in school, everyone got to a certain age where they became interested in talking about only one thing: boys, girls and sex. Me though? I was only interested in comics." Growing up, Rebecca assumes sex is just a scary new thing they will 'grow into' as they get older, but when they leave school, start working and do grow up, they start to wonder why they don't want to have sex with other people. In this brave, hilarious and empowering graphic memoir, we follow Rebecca as they navigate a culture obsessed with sex - from being bullied at school and trying to fit in with friends, to forcing themselves into relationships and experiencing anxiety and OCD - before coming to understand and embrace their asexual identity. Giving unparalleled insight into asexuality and asexual relationships, How To Be Ace shows the importance of learning to be ha...

Thing Explainer : Complicated Stuff in Simple Words (9781473637313)

From the No. 1 bestselling author of What If? - the man who created xkcd and explained the laws of science with cartoons - comes a series of brilliantly simple diagrams ('blueprints' if you want to be complicated about it) that show how important things work: from the nuclear bomb to the biro. It's good to know what the parts of a thing are called, but it's much more interesting to know what they do. Richard Feynman once said that if you can't explain something to a first-year student, you don't really get it. In Thing Explainer, Randall Munroe takes a quantum leap past this: he explains things using only drawings and a vocabulary of just our 1,000 (or the ten hundred) most common words. Many of the things we use every day - like our food-heating radio boxes ('microwaves'), our very tall roads ('bridges'), and our computer rooms ('datacentres') - are strange to us. So are the other worlds around our sun (the solar system), the ...
