Summary

Digital Time explores how digital technology has fundamentally reshaped our perception and management of time, transitioning from mechanical clocks to AI-driven algorithmic scheduling. The book investigates the evolution of timekeeping tools, the psychological impacts of "always-on" culture and digital presentism, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI scheduling, including algorithmic bias and data privacy.

 
Did you know that our relationship with time has evolved so dramatically that it now affects not only our productivity but also our social interactions and cognitive processes? The book provides historical context, tracing the development of timekeeping and social theories of time. It's structured to offer a comprehensive exploration, starting with fundamental concepts, then delving into the history of digital timekeeping, its psychological impact, and the ethical considerations of AI.

 
By integrating technological analysis with social and psychological insights, Digital Time offers a balanced assessment of the opportunities and challenges of digital time.

    Illness is not simply a matter of biology. Our thoughts, conscious or otherwise, can make us feel pain or become unwell. If you experienced side effects from your Covid vaccine, the chances are that these were caused by your belief that you would experience them. When a nurse tells you 'this is going to hurt', it generally does - but perhaps it shouldn't. 
     
    In this revelatory study, neuroscientist Helen Pilcher explores the hidden impact of the 'nocebo effect' - the placebo's evil twin. Medical studies have proven the nocebo effect to cause pain, nausea, paralysis, seizures, and even blindness. The nocebo effect impacts how we grow sick and grow old, explains why people who don't have food allergies have dietary intolerances, and why adults and teenagers are equally susceptible to catching tics through social media. 
     
    From Havana Syndrome to hex deaths, chronic pain and mystery illnesses, this book explains what happens when illness, psychology and society meet - and shows us what we can do to become less ill and more well.

    InHumana: An American Healthcare Story tells how an only child was conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw his widowed mom's life away with the surreptitious aid of unregulated artificial intelligence. 
    Months after a stroke and two seizures robbed author Jeremy White's mom of use of her right side, a federal judge ruled her the victor of their war against Humana for wrongfully denying critically needed care. Their battle, which involved multiple hearings and appeals, is one that fewer than 10 percent of denied Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting, despite a 90 percent success rate for appeals. A Pulitzer-nominated investigation and two class-action lawsuits would eventually demystify Humana's wanton gaslighting by revealing the shocking truth behind their inhumane decisions. 
    InHumana is a timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast that explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood. White's genuine humor buoys heavy topics and hard-learned lessons about a nebulous appeals process. His epilogue—which addresses "Deny," "Defend," and "Depose—was prompted by a surge of interest in InHumana following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Tracing the history of microbiome research, up to the most recent scientific advancements, she dispels common misunderstandings to better acquaint listeners with the form and function of the human body's microbial community. In an accessible style, Dr. Langdon covers the microbiomes of the human body—from the skin to the gut-brain axis, the growing microbiome industry, the creation of the microbiome on newborns, the effects of microbiome changes, and even the possibilities for microbiome evolution into the future.In a fast-moving and oft-overhyped area of research, The Microbiome is a timely and significant contribution to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series.

    The most common way we come to know animals is usually by rote learning the specific features that certain kind of animals have according to a textbooks. We learn that they are mammals, birds or fish; but at school we rarely mention that they have a personality of their own and even less do we analyze whether we treat them well or badly. Have you ever wondered how animals actually feel?
    Have you thought about how they are treated in our society?
    The Voice of Animals promotes reflection through critical thinking on different issues related to animal ethics. By raising questions it paves the way to analyze the most common themes that emerge in adolescence regarding the lives of animals, both free and captive.
