    Spektrum Geschichte - Die allererste Stadt
    Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie wären im Elternhaus eines Schulfreunds aufgewachsen. Und umgekehrt lebte er bei Ihren Eltern. Nicht wegen besonderer Umstände, sondern weil es so üblich ist. Was befremdlich klingt, war vermutlich Alltag in Çatalhöyük. An diesem Ort in der heutigen Türkei befand sich vor mehr als 9000 Jahren die erste Stadt, die wir kennen. Forschende konnten nachweisen, dass Blutsverwandte dort wohl nicht zusammenwohnten. Nicht nur das erscheint aus heutiger Sicht außergewöhnlich an den frühesten Wohnbauten der Weltgeschichte. Wie Menschen sich erstmals ein Zuhause schufen und warum sie ein spezielles Familienmodell pflegten, berichten die Journalistinnen Annalee Newitz (ab S. 12) und Dagmar Schediwy (ab S. 24) in unserem Titelthema.Einen ebenso erstaunlichen Fundplatz haben Archäologen in China frei gelegt. In Sanxingdui fanden sich acht große Gruben. Eine jede randvoll mit Meisterwerken aus Gold, Bronze und Jade des 11. bis 12. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. Doch Fülle und Reichtum der Funde stellen Forscher vor ein Rätsel: Lange dachte man, dass es nur eine bronzezeitliche Urkultur in China gab, die lag jedoch anderswo. Und nun das! Was die Archäologenzunft über Sanxingdui weiß, lesen Sie ab S. 62.Zuletzt ein Hinweis in eigener Sache: Wir wollen wissen, ob Sie mit »Spektrum Geschichte« zufrieden sind, und laden Sie daher ein, an unserer Online-Befragung teilzunehmen: survey.lamapoll.de/SG_202202

    Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 619min
    In its 4.5 billion–year history, life on Earth has been almost erased at least half a dozen times: shattered by asteroid impacts, entombed in ice, smothered by methane, and torn apart by unfathomably powerful megavolcanoes. And we know that another global disaster is eventually headed our way. Can we survive it? How? As a species, Homo sapiens is at a crossroads. Study of our planet’s turbulent past suggests that we are overdue for a catastrophic disaster, whether caused by nature or by human interference. It’s a frightening prospect, as each of the Earth’s past major disasters–from meteor strikes to bombardment by cosmic radiation–resulted in a mass extinction, where more than 75 percent of the planet’s species died out. But in Scatter, Adapt, and Remember, Annalee Newitz, science journalist and editor of the science Web site io9.com explains that although global disaster is all but inevitable, our chances of long-term species survival are better than ever. Life on Earth has come close to annihilation–humans have, more than once, narrowly avoided extinction just during the last million years–but every single time a few creatures survived, evolving to adapt to the harshest of conditions. This brilliantly speculative work of popular science focuses on humanity’s long history of dodging the bullet, as well as on new threats that we may face in years to come. Most important, it explores how scientific breakthroughs today will help us avoid disasters tomorrow. From simulating tsunamis to studying central Turkey’s ancient underground cities; from cultivating cyanobacteria for “living cities” to designing space elevators to make space colonies cost-effective; from using math to stop pandemics to studying the remarkable survival strategies of gray whales, scientists and researchers the world over are discovering the keys to long-term resilience and learning how humans can choose life over death.

    The Devil You Know: The Devil DeVere, Book 3: The Devil DeVere, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
    Book #3 in The Devil DeVere Series – Library Journal Best E-book Romance 2012 Sometimes the devil is disguised as a gentleman... In this third installment of the award-winning Devil DeVere series, DeVere is finally center stage when Ned, Annalee, and her cousin, Diana arrive at DeVere’s estate for a weekend of horseracing. From the first meeting, DeVere makes his interest in Diana acutely known. Although she sees no harm in a light flirtation, she doesn’t intend to become another notch on his bedpost. Nevertheless, DeVere fascinates her. Ned gave her a meaningful look. "I hope you'll take extreme care in any dealings with him. He is ruthless and calculating when he chooses to be and has a strong predilection to manipulate and exploit the vulnerabilities of others—when it suits his purpose. He just can't help himself. It's not that he's evil incarnate, or anything like that; it's just that he has low tolerance for weakness, incompetence, or buffoonery." Diana lifted her brow. "You know I am no fool, dear Edward. I take full responsibility for my actions and have already made clear what I am willing and not willing to sacrifice." Although DeVere is outwardly arrogant, ruthless, unpredictable, and manipulative, the private man is quite another creature—intensely loyal and fiercely protective of those few he cares about. Diana also maintains a false front to the world. Her twelve year marriage is a mockery and she feels unfulfilled and undesirable which makes her all too vulnerable to DeVere’s dangerous charm. After events take an unexpected turn, Diana' most erotic fantasies become reality when she seeks comfort and affirmation in the devil's arms. But little does she know that the fire he ignites within her will burn long after she leaves Woodcote Park. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eva Hathaway.

    The Clockwork Man (eBook, ePUB)
    In the first-ever novel about a cyborg, a machine-enhanced man from a multiverse of the far future visits 1920s England. In 1920s England, a strange being crashes a village cricket game. After some glitchy, jerky attempts to communicate, this creature reveals that he is a machine-enhanced human from a multiverse thousands of years in the future. The mechanism implanted in his skull has malfunctioned, sending him tumbling through time onto the green grass of the cricket field. Apparently in the future, at the behest of fed-up women, all men will be controlled by an embedded "clockwork," camouflaged with hats and wigs. Published in 1923, The Clockwork Man-the first cyborg novel-tells the story of this odd time traveler's visit. Spending time with two village couples about to embark upon married life, the Clockwork Man warns that because men of the twentieth century are so violent, sexist, and selfish, in the not-too-distant future they will be banned from physical reality. They will inhabit instead a virtual world-what we'd now call the Singularity-in which their every need is met, but love is absent. Will the Clockwork Man's tale lead his new friends to reconsider technology, gender roles, sex, and free will? Overshadowed in its own time by Karel Capek's sensational 1923 play R.U.R., about a robot uprising, The Clockwork Man is overdue for rediscovery. Annalee Newitz is the author of Four Lost Cities (2021), the novels The Future of Another Timeline (2019) andAutonomous (2017), which won the Lambda Award, and the novel The Terraformers (forthcoming). As a science journalist, they are a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times, and have a column in New Scientist. They are also the co-host of the Hugo Award-winning podcast Our Opinions Are Correct. Previously, they were the founder of io9, and served as the editor-in-chief of Gizmodo.
