Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Europe, 2047. The systems still work-until they have to work together.For twenty years, Iria Navarro has solved the failures that occur between institutions: the warning that reaches nobody with authority to act, the railway that cannot carry the people who need it, the emergency plan defeated by a border. At Pyrenean Transit Solutions, she helps build a new continuity industry designed to keep human movement alive through climate disruption.When crisis makes her invisible work suddenly visible, Iria becomes indispensable. Then indispensability begins to look like control.Clara made the company powerful enough to change Europe. Gabriel knows what its models cannot see. Each holds a different part of the truth-and each has reason to fear what Iria is becoming.As professional rivalry hardens into reputational doubt, private concerns acquire institutional force. Iria survives, but vindication never comes. Given one final mandate, she must attempt something more difficult than saving the system again: she must build an institution capable of acting intelligently without turning any one person into either its sovereign or its sacrifice.EPIPHANEIA is a psychologically charged near-future novel about climate resilience, organizational power and the dangerous moment when exceptional competence becomes impossible to separate from authority.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What happens when a system can prove every fact-and still get the truth wrong?Europe, 2050.For decades, the Compact has grown better at remembering. Its shared knowledge system, HOMONOIA, brings together records, measurements, professional expertise and public data across a continent increasingly dependent on cooperation.It works.Until the small coastal community of Selas begins appearing in the official record as something its own people no longer recognize.Nothing has been fabricated. The buses ran. The water was delivered. The workers were registered. The decisions were documented. Every fact can be defended.And yet something essential has disappeared between what happened and what the system says happened.When Iria challenges the record, women whose lives have already shaped the Compact arrive from across Europe. Engineers, scientists, carers, scholars and institutional leaders discover that the problem is larger than one town-and more dangerous than a faulty algorithm. The rules deciding what counts as evidence have begun deciding what can be real.One answer is seductive: let every community own its own truth.The other is much harder.ALETHEIA is the concluding novel of the ANAKYKLOSIS series: a literary near-future novel about knowledge, power, disagreement, and the institutions human beings need in order to remain answerable to one another.Because a civilization does not have to agree about everything.But it does have to remain capable of being corrected.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if the most important technology for surviving the future is something we already know how to do: keep things working?In the fire summer of 2026, three women meet almost by accident.Lucia Sanz is a twenty-two-year-old agronomy student from Aragon who wants solutions that can begin before another shepherd leaves the valley. Dr Amalia Antilef, a Mapuche-Chilean-Quebecoise ecologist, has spent her career resisting the idea that knowledge can simply be lifted from one landscape and installed in another. Camille Delaunay works inside the French state, where every problem eventually becomes a category, a budget line and a measure of success.A leaking trough, an inaccessible water point, an overheated school and a railway that works perfectly on either side of a border begin to reveal the same problem: modern societies are remarkably good at funding emergencies-and much less good at sustaining the ordinary human work that prevents them.Over the next twenty-four years, the three women help build another way: one that connects livelihood, ecological limits, local knowledge, public finance, maintenance and succession.Then, in 2050, the fires return.The institutions they created are still standing. The dashboards are green. The contracts have been completed.And something essential has disappeared.To protect what they built, Camille, Amalia and Lucia must confront a harder question than climate change itself: Can care be institutionalized without the institution eventually replacing the people, knowledge and relationships it was created to preserve?EPIMELEIA is a standalone novel in the ANAKYKLOSIS series: a research-grounded work of literary systems fiction about climate resilience, female friendship, political power, Indigenous and local knowledge, and the quiet work that allows one generation to leave something usable to the next.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Five first-year students inherit a program that decides who needs help. The code works. Nobody knows why. Priya, Deniz, Noor, Ola, and Mateo have ten weeks and Ballast: a student-built early-warning prototype that reads attendance, submissions, and engagement, and hands someone a list of names. Buried inside it sits a number, 0.65, the line between a quiet week and a flagged one, marked validated in pilot by people who graduated years ago.Rebuilding it will teach them to program. Trusting it is the other education, because the closer the funding demo gets, the clearer it becomes that the hardest questions were never technical. Who owns a number nobody chose? Who runs the report once this is real? And what do you owe the person a score points to, when the score belongs to someone you know? Underneath the code is a story about being seen. Universities and algorithms both turn complicated lives into records: attendance, submissions, scores, categories, histories. Ballast asks what those records can tell us, and why human judgment still matters when the technology works exactly as designed. Set in the same world as Human Parade. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Every institution has its own quiet grammar of power.At a university institute housed in a converted aircraft hangar, nine ordinary weeks will connect students, professors, administrators, and technicians who barely meet-yet all move through the same unseen machinery.The first dayElin Voss asked for field robotics. A supervisor decided, without asking, that software would be more sensible. The form says one thing. The lanyard says another. Everyone calls it care.David Okafor is technically excellent, well prepared, and publicly dismantled in a code review. His "pending" result becomes a visa problem no committee designed.Jonas Reith is praised for knowing when not to step in. Later, his co-authorship exists only in a sentence nobody wrote down.Werner Poth files a safety report. Seven months later, a leg rig short-circuits and a student nearly loses a hand. The report was always in the system, but was missing the essential field.Katja Lindqvist audits thirty-one closed cases. The twenty-third one does not hold up. Correcting a record, she learns, is not the same as repairing a year.A normal world with many layers.Human Parade is a literary campus novel about the ways institutions fail people while following their own rules, filling forms, meeting minutes, informal jokes, missed deadlines, and well-meaning gestures that arrive after the door has already closed, too little, too late.The reader sees more than any single character: a rumor repeated but never sourced, a poster with a QR code, a drawer full of unactioned complaints, a photograph of a corkboard, a badge never corrected. The pattern is the antagonist.For readers who like: campus novels and literary fiction about work, power, and belongingstories that trust silence, paperwork, and small actions over melodramafiction that asks who decides what really happened and whose version becomes the recordHuman Parade is an every day novel about every day people living ordinary lives that could have been so much better if they were a little less ordinary and a little more open to who we are and our full capability. A little more supportive of all that humans can be, our full potential, if we let them. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Eine Universitaet beginnt nicht mit einem Gebaeude. Sie beginnt mit der Frage, wem sie dienen soll.Als Marlene Vogt ihr Amt als Rektorin der neu gegruendeten Open University of Germany antritt, besteht ihre Hochschule aus vier Raeumen, einem Server, einem Mietvertrag - und einer Idee, die im deutschen Hochschulsystem eigentlich nicht funktionieren duerfte.Studieren sollen hier auch Menschen, fuer die eine klassische Universitaet nie gebaut wurde: ein Krankenpfleger in der Nachtschicht, eine Mutter, deren Alltag keinen Stundenplan respektiert, ein Baecker vor Sonnenaufgang, eine Sechzigjaehrige, die noch einmal anfangen will. Module statt Lebensunterbrechung. Lernen ohne Umzug. Qualitaet ohne akademische Besitzansprueche.Doch eine Universitaet wird nicht dadurch glaubwuerdig, dass ihre Ideen gut sind.Als ein privater Bildungsanbieter ploetzlich mit einem verblueffend aehnlichen Modell auftritt, fuehrt die Spur mitten hinein in das akademische Establishment. Gleichzeitig entdeckt die eigene Qualitaetssicherung etwas, das die junge Hochschule selbst erschuettern koennte. Nun muessen Marlene Vogt und ihr ungewoehnliches Team entscheiden, ob ihre Regeln auch dann gelten, wenn die Wahrheit den eigenen Erfolg gefaehrdet.Die Gruenderjahre ist ein Roman ueber Macht, Autorschaft und Loyalitaet, ueber Menschen, die Institutionen bauen - und Institutionen, die lernen muessen, ihre Menschen zu ueberleben. Vor allem aber erzaehlt er davon, was geschehen kann, wenn Bildung nicht fragt, wer hineinpasst, sondern was sie veraendern muss, damit Menschen lernen koennen.Der dritte Band der OUG-Trilogie nach Human Parade und Ballast.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Universitas: Designing a University from First Principles begins with the oldest European university, Bologna, where students organised first and the institution followed. Looking at where we are today, something seems to have gotten lost along the way. Using principles of Software Engineering, the author develops a way of desinging the future of higher education from first principles. The book argues that many recurring problems in universities are not caused by a lack of motivation, talent, or goodwill. They are produced by recurring patterns within structures and humans in historically grown organisations. Decisions take too long. Participation becomes symbolic. Innovation depends on individual champions. Flexible pathways become confusing. Recognition of prior learning remains unpredictable. Quality assurance documents process but does not always see learning. The same problems return across institutions, roles, and reform efforts because the architecture underneath has not changed.Drawing on more than thirty years inside higher education, as student, lecturer, professor, programme designer, researcher, senator, equality officer, and reform participant across seven countries, Berkling combines lived institutional experience with a method borrowed from software architecture: design patterns.At the heart of the book are blank-slate dialogues with experts who know higher education from different positions. Each was asked the same question: if money, politics, and IT constraints were solved issues, and you had the power to create a university from scratch, what would it look like? The themes and principles derived from these conversations are translated into a pattern language for institutional design: recurring antipatterns that make universities fail predictably, and corresponding design patterns that show how they might be built differently.The final part develops the Open University of Germany as a worked institutional prototype: a fictive but serious public university model designed for modular, stackable, lifelong learning. Its governance, curriculum, quality assurance, legal structure, finance, accreditation logic, and implementation documents are treated as one architecture based on design patterns and evaluated along a maturity signature of their design goals.The book is written for university leaders, policymakers, accreditation experts, programme designers, academic staff, students, and institutional innovators who already sense that something in the system is not working as well as it could and need a language precise enough to name it.A university does not become learner-centred because of a single statment or vision. It becomes learner-centred when its structures are designed to survive budgets, committees, leadership changes, legal constraints, and time.This book proposed the design patterns and an implementation that any new university can give itself and any historical university can evaluate itself against, set goals and measure it's own maturity against those goals. Just like the class desing patterns in Software Engineering, this book is intended as a reference catalogue and the Open University of Germany as an implementable prototype.
