New Book Recommendation from Prof. Radermacher

A humorous take on the serious crises of our time. Physicist and comedian Vince Ebert achieves this balancing act in his Spiegel bestseller “Lichtblick statt Blackout – Warum wir beim Weltverbessern neu denken müssen” (“A Glimmer of Hope Instead of Blackout – Why We Need to Rethink Saving the World”)

“While summer temperatures keep rising, we’ll need to bundle up extra warm this winter. A situation we’ve brought upon ourselves through many poor decisions in the past. Did you know Finland’s Greens support nuclear power? Or that if we relied solely on wind and solar, our energy reserves would be depleted within 40 minutes on a windless night? But what can you expect from a nation that can’t even build an airport properly?”

Prof. Radermacher greatly enjoyed Ebert’s refreshing and direct writing style and warmly recommends this book. Further information can be found here.

Rethinking – A Question of Humanity’s Survival

The new book by the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Dr. Gerd Müller

We know what needs to be done to combat hunger, inadequate healthcare, and climate change worldwide. Theoretically. But knowledge alone is not enough; we must open our eyes and recognize our responsibility.

In his latest book, Federal Minister Dr. Gerd Müller calls for courageous rethinking in a globalized world, where a new Europe–Africa pact and a renewed sense of global responsibility could make the world a bit more peaceful, just, and sustainable for future generations. It is a book that opens eyes without moralizing, yet reminds us of our responsibility in an interconnected world.

“Gerd Müller provides unique insights into the actual conditions at numerous critical flashpoints around the world. In his role overseeing international development cooperation for a globally prominent country like Germany, he is personally familiar with the realities across the globe like few other German politicians. He has visited almost all developing and emerging countries, in Africa and beyond. He has been present in all crisis regions of the past decade, witnessing firsthand the hotspots created by civil wars, famine, terrorism, climate change, displacement, organized crime, and the abuse of people, especially women and children.

Gerd Müller has absorbed a great deal and, in his new book, allows the reader to share in a journey through a world where beauty and horror exist side by side.”Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. h.c. Franz Josef Radermacher

The book can be purchased online via the publisher’s website.
