Sinopsis

Tech Addiction Concerns explores the growing issue of technology dependence among young people, examining its psychological and behavioral consequences. In today's hyper-connected world, children and adolescents are increasingly trading real-world experiences for digital interactions, raising concerns about the long-term effects on their development. The book dives into the neurobiological aspects of tech addiction, revealing how digital stimuli can trigger reward pathways in the brain, similar to traditional addictions. It also investigates the impact of constant online engagement on self-esteem and social skills, often leading to isolation and anxiety. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how technology use has evolved and become deeply ingrained in young people's lives. Starting with a definition of technology addiction, it progresses through the neurological and psychological impacts, using case studies and research to illustrate real-world effects. What sets this book apart is its approach to providing practical, evidence-based strategies for parents, educators, and therapists to mitigate the negative effects of excessive technology use and promote healthy digital habits.

Silence - The Psychology and the...

Olga V. Lehmann

In Silence: The Psychology and the Craft for Emotional Wellbeing, the author―a psychotherapist, university professor, educator, and researcher―takes the listener into a thought-provoking and heartfelt journey. She offers original perspectives and vulnerable stories from her clients, students, and personal life. Drawing on, among others, ethnographic and autoethnographic accounts, Lehmann serves the listener with psychological insights, offering a timely, critical, and thorough viewpoint to contrast with an overload of misinformation about what silence is and how people should feel when quiet. The listener will be challenged to aspire to balance when communicating or connecting with themselves, with others, with nature, or with art, or, for some, as part of a spiritual path. Whether in nature, at work meetings, on the road, in a classroom, in the therapy room, or at the dinner table, silences appear as coordinates, and this book is the missing map for surviving and thriving when navigating toward well-being.

The Natural History Volume 2

Pliny the Elder

Naturalis Historia (Latin for "Natural History") is an encyclopedia published circa AD 77-79 by Pliny the Elder. It is one of the largest single works to have survived from the Roman empire to the modern day and purports to cover the entire field of ancient knowledge, based on the best authorities available to Pliny. The work became a model for all later encyclopedias in terms of the breadth of subject matter examined, the need to reference original authors, and a comprehensive index list of the contents. The scheme of his great work is vast and comprehensive, being nothing short of an encyclopedia of learning and of art so far as they are connected with nature or draw their materials from nature. The work divides neatly into the organic world of plants and animals, and the realm of inorganic matter, although there are frequent digressions in each section. He is especially interested in not just describing the occurrence of plants, animals and insects, but also their exploitation (or abuse) by man, especially Romans. The description of metals and minerals is particularly detailed, and valuable for the history of science as being the most extensive compilation still available from the ancient world. (Summary from Wikipedia)This second volume includes books six to ten, covering the following subjects:Book 6 - An account of countries, nations, seas, towns, havens, mountains, rivers, distances, and peoples who now exist or formerly existedBook 7 - Man, his birth, his organization and the invention of the artsBook 8 - The nature of the terrestrial animalsBook 9 - The natural history of fishesBook 10 - The natural history of birds
