The most needed book to be written in 2026 is probably a clear, practical guide to AI governance for ordinary institutions, not just tech companies, but schools, hospitals, governments, publishers, and small businesses. That topic fits the biggest pressures showing up now: rising global risk, accelerating AI regulation, and the need to use AI safely without freezing innovation.Why this book mattersThe strongest case is that 2026 will likely be a year when many organizations move from experimenting with AI to relying on it in daily operations, while regulations and public expectations keep tightening. 2025 sources point to AI regulation becoming more concrete, with risk-based rules, transparency, and fairness becoming central concerns.At the same time, broader uncertainty is rising: the World Economic Forum says geopolitical and economic risks are increasing, and UNCTAD projects global growth will still be below the pre-pandemic average in 2026. That makes a book on AI governance especially valuable because it would help institutions make decisions in a high-pressure, fast-changing environment.

Der Berliner Autor Sirko Salka veroffentlicht seinen ersten Gedichtband "Brennstoff im Blut", der faszinierende Einblicke in die vielschichtigen Facetten des urbanen Lebens verspricht. "Der Titel erweckt Bilder von starker Leidenschaft, Intensitat und elementarer, beinahe animalischer Energie - alles Dinge, von denen ich gerne mehr hatte", sagt Sirko Salka. In seinen Gedichten und Liedern thematisiert er die standige Suche nach dem Kick, nach dem kleinen Gluck, das in jedem Augenblick zu einem unerwarteten Happy End fuhren kann. Mit einem feinen Gespur fur Humor und einem Hauch Ironie legt Salka mikroskopische Beobachtungen des Alltags offen und lasst verloren geglaubte Begegnungen und Abenteuer des Nachtlebens lebendig werden. Emotional wird es, wenn er personliche Einblicke gewahrt, wie etwa den fruhen Verlust seines Vaters. Vom lapidaren Aphorismus bis zum lustvollen Absturzgedicht - Sirko Salka zieht in "Brennstoff im Blut" alle Register der Poesie-Kunst. Mit einem Streifzug durch die Gefuhlswelten des Autors wird die Klaviatur des Lebens munter rauf- und runter gespielt - saukomisch, mandelbitter, pfirsichsanft und gewittersturmisch. Das Buch ist in sechs Kapitel unterteilt: 1. Gluckliche Gefuhle 2. Genussliche Spiele 3. Ratselhafte Liebe 4. Rastlose Triebe 5. Berliner Zeiten 6. Endlose Weiten

Some of you may perhaps have seen the very kind things which so many of the papers said about "The Wallypug of Why." Now I am going to tell you a secret, even at the risk of seeming ungrateful to them.It is this. Much as I value their kind opinion, and proud and happy as I am that my book has met with their approval, I value your criticism even more highly than theirs, and I am going to ask you to do me a great favour.I have had so many letters from little friends about "The Wallypug of Why" that it has made me greedy, and, like Oliver, I want more. So will you please write me a letter too, your very own self, telling me just what you think of these two books, and also what kind of story you want after my next one, which is to be a School story, called "Schooldays at St. Vedasts," and which will be published almost as soon as this one is?I did think of writing a story about pet animals, for I am very fond of them; so if you can tell me anything interesting about your dogs or cats, rabbits, or other favourites, I may perhaps find room for the account in my book.

"Spillernes Paradis" er det sidste bind i en trilogi, der behandler det usynlige i spillet fodbold. Spillet mellem mennesker har vi tidligere undersgt i "Bedre fodbold" (2012), der afdkkede danske professionelle spilleres holdninger til deres arbejde som fodboldspillere. Andet bind, "Talenternes Paradis" (2021), indeholder en lang rkke redskaber til arbejde med unge. "Spillernes Paradis" er et samlet bud p, hvordan fremtidens fodboldklubber i Danmark kan se ud. Tankerne er resultatet af en relang samtale om fodbold i alle landets klubber. Den afgrende inspiration kommer fra den engelske forfatter Simon Sinek, der med bogen "The Infinite Game" (2019) har sat flere tanker p modstningerne mellem at satse p resultater eller udvikling i fodboldklubben. Fodbold er ikke sort-hvid, men det gr en stor forskel, hvad der er den afgrende vrdi i klubben. Er det resultater eller udvikling?Ambitionen er at finde veje til at forbedre kvaliteten og ge glden ved spillet blandt unge og voksne. Vi nsker at udfordre den praksis, der er i klubben, srligt i ungdomsafdelingen. Forandringer krver strke relationer mellem ledere, trnere og ikke mindst spillere. Spillerne er sat i centrum. Tiden er inde til at drfte, hvorledes fremtidens fodbold skal kunne rumme nutidens unge. Unge fodboldspillere har et grundlggende nske om at blive set og hrt i klubben. Hvordan skaber vi flere nysgerrige, engagerede og ikke mindst glade spillere? Hvad indebrer det, at klubben vil optrde p en mere ben og anerkendende mde i ord og handling? Bredygtighed er et centralt begreb i nutiden og vil vre det i lang tid fremover. Men hvad er en bredygtig fodboldklub, og hvordan bliver klubben bredygtig?Sidst, men ikke mindst, har udviklingstilgangen indflydelse p trnerens arbejde. Fodboldledelse er mske et bedre udtryk for den fremtidige mde at gribe opgaven an p. Fodboldviden er stadigvk en afgrende forudstning. Men mden at anvende den p er anderledes, hvis trning erstattes af lring.Vi bner for en dialog om muligheder for at skabe fremtidens bredygtige fodboldmiljer for unge.
