Sinopsis

Dnieper River Saints explores the Dnieper River's crucial role in shaping the Eastern Orthodox Christian identity of the East Slavic people. The book argues that the river was more than just a geographical feature; it was a sacred symbol central to the conversion of Kyivan Rus' and the development of their unique religious landscape. Intriguingly, the Dnieper facilitated not only the physical act of baptism but also the profound spiritual transformation of a culture. 

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with pre-Christian Slavic beliefs to provide context. It then examines the pivotal Baptism of Rus' in 988 AD, analyzing its historical accounts and societal impact. Finally, the book delves into the continued veneration of the Dnieper and associated saints, highlighting how the river became interwoven with spiritual narratives. 

 
Drawing from primary chronicles and archaeological findings, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between environment and religion, demonstrating how natural landscapes can shape spiritual identities within Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

    How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

    Over the years, many have signed up for the South African Special Forces selection course but only a select few have ever passed. The gruelling course pushes recruits to their physical and mental limits.
    Those who make it through selection still have to complete a demanding year-long training cycle before they can join the ranks of this elite unit. In A Breed Apart, former Special Forces operator Johan Raath offers a rare insider's view on the training he and other young soldiers received in the mid-1980s. Drawing on the reminiscences of his fellow Recces, he describes the phases of selection and training, and offers valuable insights into what makes a successful operator.
    The courses in the training cycle show the range and standard of Special Forces training, including weapons handling, bushcraft/survival, parachuting, demolitions and urban warfare, as well as seaborne and riverine operations. For Raath and his cycle buddies, the training cycle culminated in an operation in southern Angola where the young Recces saw action for the first time.
    Much of what Raath underwent still forms part of present-day Special Forces training. Comprehensive and revealing, this book shows why these soldiers truly are a breed apart.

    As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
     
     
     
    In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
     
     
     
    With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.
