Die Gelegenheit beim Schopfe packen! Ein philosophisches Plädoyer für das Leben im Augenblick

 

Wir haben chronisch zu wenig Zeit – Chronos, der alte Mann mit Sanduhr in der Hand versinnbildlicht das ewige Voranschreiten der Zeit, der wir so oft hinterherhetzen.

Dabei hält die griechische Mythologie einen Kontrahenten parat, den es wiederzuentdecken gilt: Begrüßen wir Kairos, mit punkigem Haarschopf gekrönt, jüngster Sohn des Zeus und Gott der günstigen Gelegenheit. Kairos verkörpert das Leben im Augenblick. Doch passen wir nicht auf, entwischt er uns. Um Kairos zu halten, muss man ihn beim Schopfe packen.

Bis zum Ende der Renaissance erfreute sich die Figur des Kairos in der Kunst- und Gelehrtenwelt großer Beliebtheit. Wie wurde Kairos rezipiert, welchen Einfluss hatte das kairotische Zeitkonzept, und wie konnte es in Vergessenheit geraten?

Joke J. Hermsen nimmt uns mit auf eine rasante Reise durch die Philosophiegeschichte der Zeit und zeichnet dabei ein beeindruckendes Plädoyer für mehr kairotische Momente in unserem durchgetakteten Leben.

 

»Kairos war die Zeit, auf die es ankam, die Zeit, die Chancen bot oder für einen Durchbruch zu sorgen wusste. Er stand sinnbildlich für all die inspirierenden Momente der Schönheit, der Einsicht und der Entschlossenheit, die das Leben so besonders machen.«

Joke J. Hermens, Kairos

Highly recommended
Format: Kindle
Very well written. Everything is clear and well organized. It serves as a good overview of the Ubuntu server and also as a rich reference for specific arguments.

Very useful book on the latest Ubuntu distro
Format: Paperback
Disclaimer: Longtime follower and subscriber to Jay LaCroix’s YouTube site, Learn Linux TV. Several high quality authors (Jang, van Vugt, and Ghori the most well known) have been introducing new comers looking for more in-depth guides to Linux to the Red Hat world through their RHCSA Study Guides. The same cannot be said for Ubuntu. While books do exist for Ubuntu, they are too general in this reviewers opinion. A noted exception is Matthew Helmke. The other is Jay LaCroix. Mastering Ubuntu Server, 4th Edition by Jay LaCroix addresses Canonical’s latest Ubuntu release, 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish). Mr. LaCroix’s book follows the same outline as the RHCSA books of installation, user management, package management, navigating the file system through the terminal, command-line usage, up to and including storage and networking. These chapters lay a solid foundation for the rest of the book, and all but one chapter ends with a section for further viewing or reading which either point to Mr. LaCroix’s well produced videos on his YouTube channel, Ubuntu’s wiki, or to one of several informative websites. The YouTube videos are a good complement to the book, and also raise the bar for what we as readers should expect from other authors and publishers. The last part of the book was my favorite. Where as the RHCSA books are confined to the scope of the test they are aimed at, Mastering Ubuntu Server has no restrictions. Chapters covering the installation of databases (MariaDB), web servers (both Apache and Nginx), virtualization (QEMU/KVM), containerization (LXD and Docker), Ansible, AWS, and Terraform along with their corresponding videos (except for Terraform) create a comprehensive learning platform. Having worked through some of these chapters along with the videos, one does get up to speed much quicker in understanding while adding a new skill to their skillset. This is important in a competitive job market. I would recommend Mastering Ubuntu Server, 4 th Edition highly to anyone wanting something current for the 22.04 LTS distribution. Having said that, I do have some admittedly subjective criticisms. In the chapter on storage, the fdisk command is introduced for formatting and partitioning disks. In an industry where it is becoming less likely to install a hard drive of 2TB or less and manufacturers have 20TB hard drives in their product line, why not also introduce the gdisk command. My other criticism is directed at the virtualization chapter and its use of Virtual Machine Manager for KVM. I got my start working with KVM through the Virtual Machine Manager as well, but on the advice of a Systems Engineer I knew, transitioned to creating, configuring and managing all my VMs through the command-line only. I wished that the author pushed more in that direction. As I said, subjective opinions, and minor overall, for a well written book by Jay LaCroix.

I should have looked somewhere else.
Format: Paperback
Not very helpful. I wanted a book that would help guide me through setting up a web server. There should have been a more complete step by step guide comparing traditional methods with newer updated methods.

Organized well. You can read it section by section. Fantastic information. Clearly presented.
I like this book better than "what to expect" because this one does a better job of what you'll ACTUALLY expect versus telling you the throngs of horrible things that could happen to you or your baby. I'd rather be informed than mentally prodded with scary information. On one hand, it's good to know what could happen, so the other books you've probably already ordered are good to skim through, but this book I recommend reading all the way through. Easy to read, you'll actually have TIME to read it because you can read the age your baby is instead of a book that's all mixed up and organized by diseases and threats. Clear photos and explanations and tips on how to make your life and baby's life easier and better. I've understood my baby's needs better because of this book. I feel really glad I got it because it was the only book that really helped my daily life with my newborn.
