  Gender Mosaic - Beyond the Myth...

  With profound implications for our most foundational assumptions about gender, Gender Mosaic explains why there is no such thing as a male or female brain.For generations, we've been taught that women and men differ in profound and important ways. Women are more sensitive and emotional, whereas men are more aggressive and sexual, because this or that region in the brains of women is smaller or larger than in men, or because they have more or less of this or that hormone. This story seems to provide us with a neat biological explanation for much of what we encounter in day-to-day life. But is it true? According to neuroscientist Daphna Joel, it's not. And in Gender Mosaic, she sets forth a bold and compelling argument that debunks the notion of female and male brains. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, including the groundbreaking results of her own studies, Dr. Joel explains that every human brain is a unique mixture -- or mosaic -- of "male" and "female" features, and that these mosaics don't map neatly into two categories. With urgent practical implications for the way we understand ourselves and the world around us, Gender Mosaic is a fascinating look at the science of gender, sex and the brain, and at how freeing ourselves from the gender binary can help us all reach our full human potential.

  'Thayendanegea!' The name was taken from the great book of nature. It was a birth-name of the Mohawks meaning two sticks of wood bound together, a sign of strength; and the woman hoped that her tiny child might one day be a man of valour among the Mohawks. Could she have but known it, her desire was to be more than realized, for in vigour of mind and body he was destined to surpass all the offspring of his race.Joseph Brant was his English name and this is his story.Summary from chapter one.

  How Psychedelics Fake Awakening

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  The experience felt more real than anything you had ever known. The boundaries dissolved, love flooded through you, and you saw with absolute certainty that everything is connected. You returned convinced you had touched enlightenment itself. You had done nothing of the kind. What you experienced was a sophisticated neurological counterfeit, a simulation so convincing that millions of seekers have mistaken it for the genuine article. This book reveals how psychedelics create experiences that look, feel, and generate all the conviction of enlightenment while systematically preventing the very transformation they appear to offer. The counterfeit operates through three mechanisms: sensory overload that mimics transcendence, ego collapse that imitates ego death, and neurochemical flooding that simulates insight. When psychedelics disable the brain's filtering systems, the resulting flood of sensation feels like awakening but is actually perception without coherence. Unlike meditation, which enhances clarity through trained attention, psychedelics create overwhelming data that the mind cannot organize. This is the cruelest trick in the spiritual marketplace: substances that give you the taste of freedom while strengthening your chains, showing you the destination while ensuring you never arrive.

  The World According to China

  An economic and military superpower with twenty percent of the world's population, China has the wherewithal to transform the international system. Xi Jinping's bold calls for China to "lead in the reform of the global governance system" suggest that he has just such an ambition. But how does he plan to realize it? And what does it mean for the rest of the world? 
   
   
   
  In this compelling book, Elizabeth Economy reveals China's ambitious new strategy to reclaim the country's past glory and reshape the geostrategic landscape in dramatic new ways. Xi's vision is one of Chinese centrality on the global stage, in which the mainland has realized its sovereignty claims over Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, deepened its global political, economic, and security reach through its grand-scale Belt and Road Initiative, and used its leadership in the United Nations and other institutions to align international norms and values, particularly around human rights, with those of China. It is a world radically different from that of today. The international community needs to understand and respond to the great risks, as well as the potential opportunities, of a world rebuilt by China.
