    Content: In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities. Data discrimination is a real social problem; Noble argues that the combination of private interests in promoting certain sites, along with the monopoly status of a relatively small number of Internet search engines, leads to a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color. Through an analysis of textual and media searches as well as extensive research on paid online advertising, Noble exposes a culture of racism and sexism in the way discoverability is created online. As search engines and their related companies grow in importance—operating as a source for email, a major vehicle for primary and secondary school learning, and beyond—understanding and reversing these disquieting trends and discriminatory practices is of utmost importance. An original, surprising and, at times, disturbing account of bias on the internet, Algorithms of Oppression contributes to our understanding of how racism is created, maintained, and disseminated in the 21st century.

    Content: Was Hunde und Menschen füreinander sind    In Warum Hunde? erkundet John Homans die besondere Rolle, die Hunde in unserer Welt spielen. Über Jahrtausende hinweg entwickelte sich der Hund zuerst vom Wildtier zum Arbeitstier und dann zu einem fast ebenbürtigen Mitglied des menschlichen Sozialgefüges. Heute sind Hunde aus unserem Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie sind treue Begleiter und Helfer, ein bedeutender Wirtschaftsfaktor und beliebte Objekte wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen zu Themen wie Tierhaltung, Evolution und Kognition. Homans beschreibt nicht nur, warum Hunde auf Menschen so anziehend wirken und in welcher Weise sie sogar unserer Gesundheit zuträglich sind, sondern geht auch der Frage nach, warum sich die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Hund im letzten Jahrhundert so rasant verändert hat. Wie schafften es Hunde innerhalb kürzester Zeit, unsere Familien, unsere Häuser und manchmal gar unsere Betten zu erobern und einen milliardenschweren Wirtschaftszweig entstehen zu lassen?    [Ein] hinreißendes, informatives Buch, zugleich eine Darstellung der jüngsten Forschungsergebnisse zum Thema Hund und der Erinnerungen von Homans an die Jahre mit seiner Mischlingshündin Stella … bewegend und rundum gelungen. New York Times Book Review    Eine bemerkenswerte Chronik jener Reise, die den Haushund über Jahrtausende hinweg direkt in unsere Herzen führte, geschrieben mit viel Gefühl und zugleich wissenschaftlich fundiert … Eine wunderbare, fesselnde Lektüre. The Atlantic    _____   Der Hund als Teil der menschlichen Kultur     Ohne Stella gäbe es dieses Buch nicht. Der Labradormischling aus dem Tierheim inspirierte John Homans dazu, sich in die komplexe Welt der Hunde mit all ihren Facetten zu vertiefen, von der Stammesgeschichte bis zur Tierrechtsbewegung, von Zuchterfolgen und Designerhunden bis hin zum steten Wandel der Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Hund.    Homans hatte das Tierheim aus denselben Gründen aufgesucht wie viele andere Menschen auch – ihm waren Hunde aus seiner Kindheit vertraut, er suchte einen Gefährten für seinen kleinen Sohn und vielleicht auch einen Vorwand, um ausgedehnte Streifzüge durch sein Viertel zu unternehmen. Schnell fügt sich Stella in den Tagesablauf der Familie ein, und mehr noch: Sie wird, anders als die Hunde seiner Jugend, wie ein vollwertiges Familienmitglied behandelt. Tierarztrechnungen in astronomischer Höhe, Diskussionen über richtige Ernährung und ausreichende Bewegung sowie die Sorge, ob sie wohl glücklich ist – all dies wirft die Frage auf, warum sich das Leben von Hunden in unserer Gesellschaft so verändert hat, wo doch die Hofhunde aus Homans‘ Kindheit offenbar auch ganz zufrieden gewesen waren.    Der tiefgreifende kulturelle Wandel in der Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Hund und seine Hintergründe sind das Thema dieses Buches. John Homans hat dafür Gespräche mit Wissenschaftlern, Tierschützern, Züchtern und Trainern geführt und aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse aus ganz unterschiedlichen Disziplinen zusammengetragen. Hunde sind für viele von uns nicht zuletzt deshalb so faszinierend, weil sie mit einer Pfote in der Tier- und mit einer in der Menschenwelt stehen. So können sie uns eine Menge über Liebe, Tod und Moral beibringen – und da sie uns nah und dennoch so anders sind, auch über das Menschsein.  .

    Content: "In May of 1945, German forces surrendered to the Allied powers, effectively putting an end to World War II in Europe. But the aftershocks of this global military conflict did not cease with the signing of truces and peace treaties. Millions of lost and homeless POWs, slave laborers, political prisoners, and concentration camp survivors overwhelmed Germany, a country in complete disarray. British and American soldiers gathered the malnourished and desperate foreigners, and attempted to repatriate them to Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and the USSR. But after exhaustive efforts, there remained over a million displaced persons who either refused to go home or, in the case of many, had no home to which to return. They would spend the next three to five years in displaced persons camps, divided by nationalities, temporary homelands in exile, with their own police forces, churches, schools, newspapers, and medical facilities.
    Content: The international community couldn't agree on the fate of the Last Million, and after a year of fruitless debate and inaction, an International Refugee Organization was created to resettle them in lands suffering from labor shortages. But no nations were willing to accept the 200,000 to 250,000 Jewish men, women, and children who remained trapped in Germany. In 1948, the United States, among the last countries to accept anyone for resettlement, finally passed a Displaced Persons Bill - but as Cold War fears supplanted memories of WWII atrocities, the bill only granted visas to those who were reliably anti-communist, including thousands of former Nazi collaborators, Waffen-SS members, and war criminals, while barring the Jews who were suspected of being Communist sympathizers or agents because they had been recent residents of Soviet-dominated Poland.
    Content: Only after the passage of the controversial UN resolution for the partition of Palestine and Israel's declaration of independence were the remaining Jewish survivors finally able to leave their displaced persons camps in Germany."--
