Sinossi

"Sanctions and Conflicts" explores the multifaceted role of economic sanctions in international relations, examining whether they truly serve as diplomatic tools or function as acts of economic warfare. The book delves into the strategic deployment of sanctions, their impact on targeted states, and their broader consequences for global stability. It highlights that while sanctions are often presented as non-violent alternatives to military intervention, they can inflict significant harm on civilian populations, potentially exacerbating conflicts and undermining democratic institutions.

 
Did you know that nations increasingly employ economic coercion as a primary foreign policy tool? Case studies, like those of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela, illustrate the economic, social, and political impacts, including trade disruption and humanitarian consequences.

 
The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from economics, political science, and international relations. It progresses from laying the theoretical groundwork to exploring specific case studies and finally synthesizing evidence to assess the effectiveness and ethical implications of sanctions. By using a combination of quantitative data, such as trade statistics and GDP growth rates, and qualitative assessments from policy documents, "Sanctions and Conflicts" offers a nuanced perspective on the debates surrounding economic sanctions and their role in contemporary global politics.

Hearing Happiness - Deafness...

Jaipreet Virdi

Weaving together lyrical history and personal memoir, Virdi powerfully examines society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.

At the age of four, Jaipreet Virdi’s world went silent. A severe case of meningitis left her alive but deaf, suddenly treated differently by everyone. Her deafness downplayed by society and doctors, she struggled to “pass” as hearing for most of her life. Countless cures, treatments, and technologies led to dead ends. Never quite deaf enough for the Deaf community or quite hearing enough for the “normal” majority, Virdi was stuck in aural limbo for years. It wasn’t until her thirties, exasperated by problems with new digital hearing aids, that she began to actively assert her deafness and reexamine society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.
Through lyrical history and personal memoir, Hearing Happiness raises pivotal questions about deafness in American society and the endless quest for a cure. Taking us from the 1860s up to the present, Virdi combs archives and museums in order to understand the long history of curious cures: ear trumpets, violet ray apparatuses, vibrating massagers, electrotherapy machines, airplane diving, bloodletting, skull hammering, and many more. Hundreds of procedures and products have promised grand miracles but always failed to deliver a universal cure—a harmful legacy that is still present in contemporary biomedicine.

Weaving Virdi’s own experiences together with her exploration into the fascinating history of deafness cures, Hearing Happiness is a powerful story that America needs to hear.

Rethinking Hypothyroidism - Why...

MD Antonio C. Bianco

In this primer for patients, their families, and their doctors, a leading physician and scientist explains why the standard treatment for hypothyroidism fails many—and offers an empowering call for change.

Hypothyroidism, also commonly referred to as Hashimoto’s disease, affects millions in the United States alone. It occurs when the thyroid—the butterfly-shaped gland that sits in your neck right above the front of your shirt collar—malfunctions or after thyroid surgery, causing thyroid hormone levels in circulation to drop below normal. Thus, treatment is aimed at bringing these hormone levels back to normal. This is done with daily tablets of thyroxine or T4. Because hypothyroidism is so common, we likely know someone who is on this type of medication. While most patients respond well to this standard treatment, about ten to twenty percent (some two to three million individuals in the United States) are far from living a typical life. They exhibit “foggy brain”—low energy, confusion, and poor memory. Many doctors have shrugged off their complaints, believing these symptoms to be unrelated to the thyroid disease. In Rethinking Hypothyroidism, Dr. Antonio C. Bianco, a physician and a scientist who has studied hypothyroidism and thyroid hormones for decades, offers an accessible overview of the disease’s treatment and the role of big pharma in shaping it, making the case that the current approach is failing many patients. But more than this, Bianco calls for alternatives to improve lives, and he equips patients and their families with the tools to advocate for other treatments.
