Övrigt

Barnen på Björklunda gård är en läsebok för årskurs 3-5. I boken får eleverna lära känna Tora och Edvard, som var barn på Björklunda gård vid förra sekelskiftet. Berättelsen skildrar familjens liv år 1899 och vi får följa dem in i det nya seklet. Tora och Edvard går i skolan, arbetar tillsammans med sina föräldrar, leker med kamrater och lyssnar till gammelfarmors kusliga berättelser. Barnen gör en spännande resa till Stockholm, där de träffar på några av den tidens nyheter såsom bil och telefon. Varje kapitel är en avslutad berättelse och följs av faktasidor med fotografier och texter som belyser innehållet i kapitlet. Här kan eleverna läsa om hur livet tedde sig vid förra sekelskiftet och med det som utgångspunkt göra jämförelser med hur det ser ut idag. I slutet av boken finns en antologidel med texter som barnen vid den här tiden kunde träffa på. Boken kan användas för upplevelseläsning, som faktabok vid olika slag av temaarbeten och vid undersökande arbete kring livet förr i tiden. Lärarens bok med ytterligare fakta och förslag på arbetsuppgifter finns nu som nedladdningsbar fil.

<b>An explosive account of one of the most hubristic mistakes in American political history: Joe Biden's decision to run for reelection despite mounting evidence of his decline, and his team's increasingly desperate efforts to hide it.</b><br/><br/><i>In Greek tragedy, the protagonist's effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy.</i><br/><br/>Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump term. He, his family and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again that they lied to themselves, allies and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on 28 June 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed - all but dooming the Democrats to defeat later that year.<br/><br/>Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the first time. Here, two of America's best-respected political journalists take us behind closed doors to reveal the extent of Biden's decline and who knew about it, from White House staffers to senators to Hollywood celebrities. They paint President Biden's decision to run for re-election as shockingly narcissistic, delusional and reckless - and the wider cover-up as an act of unprecedented public deception. Rarely has hubris met nemesis so explosively.<br/><br/>The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will endure for decades. In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden and his inner circle ensured it, marking the beginning of a remarkable campaign of denial and gaslighting against the American public. His decision to run again was the original sin of his precedency - the moment that led directly to Donald Trump's return to power and all that has come since.

<b>A smart, incisive take-down of the bogus claims being made about so-called 'artificial intelligence', exposing the real harm these technologies do to our jobs, health, society and environment, who stands to gain from them, and how to fight back.</b><br/><br/>Is AI going to take over the world? Have scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to replace all our jobs, even creative ones, like doctors, teachers and care-workers? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at <i>everything</i>?<br/><br/>The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of <i>The AI Con </i>make clear, are 'no', 'they wish', 'LOL', and 'definitely not'. In fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used by tech corporations to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism, and devalue human creativity so they can replace meaningful work with jobs that treat people like machines. Meanwhile, across healthcare, education, media, government and law-enforcement, 'AI' products are already being introduced that are unreliable, ineffective, unjust and dangerous.<br/><br/>Packed with real-world examples, pithy arguments and expert insights, <i>The AI Con </i>arms you to spot AI hype in all its guises, expose the exploitation and power-grabs it aims to hide, and push back against it at work and in your daily life.
