KRAUSE, just call me KRAUSE. I am author, director, and an actor. And it works like this: just stay in touch. With what is always there, the primeval power that creates anything in an elegant, swift movement. It might also be totally different. We just don't know.

Climate change is the ultimate threat in the world today, and it can only be addressed through comprehensive technological and societal transformation. This book examines the financial, technical, and social situation of the world today, and outlines some of the existing policies and technologies that will help us on our long and unpredictable journey through climate change. Three major factors that have led us to today's predicament — our economic system, our own inexcusable ignorance, and continued political inertia — must be addressed, discussed, and changed for the better.

This film is about the German disease ANGST. We all know the 'armored man', the choleric father, the right-wing grandfather, a strange uncle. Some of us know of their sudden violence, others of their beatings. The film "ANGST" shows the origin and the effects of this disease and could enable a better understanding of the traumas of the past—not only to us, but also to all future generations. Trailer here!

NIKOLA TESLA - VISIONARY OF MODERN TIMES
*****
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) is one of the masterminds of modern age. Tesla invented alternating current (AC), the power grid that fuels our world-wide economy. His mind conceived the radio, remote control, and other technologies such as X-rays, radar, integrated circuits and a world-wide communication system he called world wireless system. His life is like a thriller about science, money, and power. Hollywood made him the iconic "mad scientist", others named the best electric car after him. Today, Tesla is seen as the visionary of an ecological power concept for the twenty-first century. (WILEY, 382 pages, 2010)
"This book is a great read, providing you with a first row seat to Tesla's fascinating life as a pop star scientist with all its multiple twists and turns. It is comprehensive in that it gives you a detailed overview of his accomplishments, spiced up with an account of society life of that time, while we also get an insight into his character and his flaws, explaining why today he doesn't have the status he deserves. But apart from this amazing account, to me, the most important thing about this book, and why I think everyone should read it, is that it is a journey through the emergence of the electrical age. Through the person of Tesla, a vivid picture is being drawn of a time that in its excitement and modernity is so similar to the birth of the digital age we are experiencing now. It puts our day and age in a much needed perspective."
