3 This is how we ensure the future of homo sapiens

3 Wild plant expert Markus Strauß: his vision for a green millennium

Over the course of centuries, humans have moved away from living appropriate to the species to such an extent that it is high time to take countermeasures. Markus Strauß points out how much our way of life, food, and landscape and soil quality have changed especially during the 20th century. What we need is a “natural revolution”. In 13 theses he explains how we can tangibly initiate the transformation and find a new, green millennium. Because this is the only way in which our environment will become a space of naturalness, individual freedom and living together.

3 The book about the astronomy sensation of the year

3 First-hand expert knowledge

February 11, 2016: the world of science is spellbound and holds its breath ... and the scientists of the American LIGO project actually managed to prove the mysterious gravitational waves. A Nobel prize-worthy milestone and late triumph for Einsteins theory of space and time. Dr. Günter Spanner participated in developing the measuring devices. He reports first-hand and in a way anyone can understand what you must know about gravitational waves, why they open a new window into space and which additional findings are to be expected.

3 A brilliant scientific success.

3 Latest: the fourth signal of gravi-tational waves.

2017 Nobel prize for physics for gravitational wave researchers: This book offers highly topical insights and overview with the latest research results!Disco-very of gravitational waves is a scientific sensation. For the first time since Albert Einstein's prediction these gravitational signals could be measured: When Black Holes collide, the entire universe quakes. The proof of by now half a dozen space-time vibrations is another triumph for the theory of relativity and a great success of technology. These achievements have now been acknowledged with the 2017 Nobel price for physics. From Einstein to the Big Bang and beyond: gravitatio-nal waves have opened up a new era in astrophysics.
