  Whether sharing a spectacular shot from a deep-space probe, announcing a development in genetic engineering, or crafting an easy-to-reference list of cancer risk factors, science public information officers, or PIOs, serve as scientific liaisons, connecting academic, nonprofit, government, and other research organizations with the public. And as traditional media outlets cut back on their science coverage, PIOs are becoming a vital source for science news. W. Matthew Shipman’s Handbook for Science Public Information Officers covers all aspects of communication strategy and tactics for members of this growing specialty. It includes how to pitch a story, how to train researchers to navigate interviews, how to use social media effectively, and how to respond to a crisis. The handbook offers a wealth of practical advice while teaching science PIOs how to think critically about what they do and how they do it, so that they will be prepared to take advantage of any situation, rather than being overwhelmed by it. For all science communicators—whether they’re starting their careers, crossing over from journalism or the research community, or professional communicators looking to hone their PIO skills—Shipman’s Handbook for Science Public Information Officers will become their go-to reference.

  Warrior Life - Indigenous...

  In a moment where unlawful pipelines are built on Indigenous territories, the RCMP make illegal arrests of land defenders on unceded lands, and anti-Indigenous racism permeates on social media; the government lie that is reconciliation is exposed. Renowned lawyer, author, speaker and activist, Pamela Palmater returns to wade through media headlines and government propaganda and get to heart of key issues lost in the noise.
  		 
  Warrior Life: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence is the second collection of writings by Palmater. In keeping with her previous works, numerous op-eds, media commentaries, YouTube channel videos and podcasts, Palmater’s work is fiercely anti-colonial, anti-racist, and more crucial than ever before.
  		 
  Palmater addresses a range of Indigenous issues — empty political promises, ongoing racism, sexualized genocide, government lawlessness, and the lie that is reconciliation — and makes the complex political and legal implications accessible to the public.
  		 
  From one of the most important, inspiring and fearless voices in Indigenous rights, decolonization, Canadian politics, social justice, earth justice and beyond, Warrior Life is an unflinching critique of the colonial project that is Canada and a rallying cry for Indigenous peoples and allies alike to forge a path toward a decolonial future through resistance and resurgence.

  Are you still dealing with the aftereffects of an abusive relationship? 
  Many individuals do, and unfortunately, there is very little information accessible online, in the written study, or with counselors and therapists that can assist. The Gaslight Effect is not formally acknowledged nor commonly understood. 
  Even when illness is acknowledged, recognized, and understood, few individuals seem to know what to do to repair it... Being in a long-term relationship with a narcissist has long-term traumatic repercussions that may be incredibly devastating to the one suffering from them. 
  The goal of gaslighting is to make you believe you're insane or that your memory isn't working correctly. As a result, you can't trust yourself or your impressions of reality. 
  This implies you'll defer to the abuser for an account of what's true, and the abuser will gradually gain influence over your life. 
  Gaslighting occurs in intimate partnerships, such as one-on-one relationships. It happens in friendships, families, and workplaces; you will witness gaslighting on the news; you will hear gaslighting from politicians, corporate shills, cult leaders, advertising campaigns, and so on. 
  What you will discover:Top ten indicators you're being deceived by gaslightingThere are 80 things that narcissists say when they are gaslighted.Six powerful strategies for disarming a narcissist and regaining controlHow to Avoid Psychological ManipulationHow to Handle the Consequences of GaslightingHow Narcissists Make Use of Smart Devices

  Authoritarianism is one of the buzzwords of our age. But what is it exactly? This Very Short Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the world of authoritarian regimes, including military, single-party, and personalist regimes. It considers how understandings of authoritarianism have evolved over time, as well as the curious fact that many authoritarian regimes today hold elections. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, James Loxton examines the life cycle of authoritarian regimes. How are they born? What challenges do they face during life? Why do they die? The author shows how factors such as natural resource wealth and cross-border collaboration can contribute to authoritarian durability. He also highlights the disturbing fact that even when authoritarian regimes collapse, voters often use their newfound democratic rights to send former authoritarian officials back to office.
