Den magiska gnistan vägen till ett kreativt liv är en vidareutveckling och fördjupning av dessa teman som gjort henne till en så omtyckt romanförfattare med en stor och hängiven läsekrets.

In the Global North, fair trade often is described as a revolutionary tool for transforming the lives of millions across the globe.

AI offers an exciting extension of many human capabilities such as observation, processing, and decision-making. The output and outcomes of AI systems are nearly instantaneous, offering humans powerful efficiencies that did not exist just a few years ago.
