It argues that digital technology might accelerate environmental sustainability and that engaging with environmental issues may transform Big Tech for the better, if the sector successfully addresses spiraling energy use, pollution, privacy and surveillance issues"--

Content: Cars, Conduits and Kampongs offers a wide panorama of the modernization of the cities in Indonesia between 1920 and 1960. The contributions present a case for asserting that Indonesian cities were not merely the backdrop to processes of modernization and rising nationalism, but formed a causal factor. Modernization, urbanization, and decolonization were intrinsically linked. The various chapters deal with such innovations as the provision of medical treatments, fresh water and sanitation, the implementation of town planning and housing designs, and policies for coping with increased motorized traffic and industrialization. The contributors share a broad critique of the economic and political dimensions of colonialism, but remain alert to the agency of colonial subjects who respond, often critically, to a European modernity. Contributors include: Freek Colombijn, Joost Coté, Saki Murakami, Michelle Kooy, Karen Bakker, Pauline K.M. van Roosmalen, Hans Versnel, Farabi Fakih, Radjimo Sastro Wijono, Gustaaf Reerink, Arjan Veering, Johny A. Khusyairi, Purnawan Basundoro, Ida Liana Tanjung, and Sarkawi B. Husain A full text Open Access version is also available.

Content: lt;p〉Technologie lenkt uns oft von der Natur ab, aber was wäre, wenn sie uns stattdessen hilft, Tiere und Pflanzen wirklich zu verstehen oder sogar mit ihnen zu sprechen?In der Natur wimmelt es von Klängen, von denen viele außerhalb des menschlichen Hörbereichs liegen: Es ist die verborgene Kommunikation der Tiere und Pflanzen. Wissenschaftler setzen bahnbrechende digitale Technologien ein, um diese erstaunliche Kommunikation zwischen unseren Mitgeschöpfen zu entschlüsseln.The Sounds of Life erzählt faszinierende Geschichten über nichtmenschliche Klänge, beruhend auf den neuesten Erkenntnissen der Bioakustik. Wir erfahren, wie künstliche Intelligenz nichtmenschliche Geräusche entschlüsseln kann, lernen Forscher kennen, die Wörterbücher für den Ostafrikanischen Elefanten und den Pottwal erstellen, oder lauschen digital vermittelten Dialogen mit Fledermäusen und Honigbienen. Und wir treffen Wissenschaftler, die Klänge zum Schutz und zur Regeneration bedrohter Arten einsetzen, vom Great Barrier Reef über die Arktis bis zum Amazonas.Und was wäre, wenn wir nicht nur mit Tieren kommunizieren könnten sondern sogar mit Pflanzen? Denn Forscher sind dabei, sogar dies möglich zu machen. So könnten wir unsere Zimmerpflanzen zukünftig fragen, ob sie Durst haben, und die Bedürfnisse der Wälder besser verstehen, um sie zu schützen. Eine hochspannende Lektüre über eines der letzten bisher ungelösten Rätsel unseres Planeten: die bisher verborgene Sprache der Tiere und Pflanzen.
