Sinopsis

The Old Wives' Tale Arnold Bennett - The Old Wives' Tale is a novel by English author Arnold Bennett, first published in 1908. Inspired by an old lady that Bennett saw in a cafe, and wondering how her life had been when she was younger, The Old Wives' Tale is the story of the Baines sisters, shy, retiring Constance, and defiant, romantic Sophia. The novel traces their lives from childhood in their father's drapery shop in Bursley, England, through their married lives, to the modern industrial age, when they are reunited as old women. The setting moves from the Five Towns of the Staffordshire Potteries to exotic and cosmopolitan Paris.

    Reclaim Your Voice, Reshape the Future 
    Sparks challenges the status quo of those who feel sidelined and shutdown, those believing that it is better to remain silent than to be shamed into silence. He reminds readers that to shape a better, collective future, it is crucial that they courageously find their voice. The book is thoughtfully provocative, but also sensitive. 
    In Finding My Lost Voice Sparks steps carefully into controversial conversations that have polarised the world. He is reflective, inspiring readers to think carefully and to engage constructively with each discussion; whether that is white privilege, homosexuality, body image, or whether it is better to support Israel or Palestine. He persuades readers to reject mob mentality, and to embrace free speech whilst learning to think independently. 
    Sparks’s unique lens is that of a heterosexual, white, Christian man in his late 50’s. He speaks as a person some may prefer to cancel! But he speaks, nonetheless. He calls readers to embrace three indispensable qualities that must flavour every engagement: justice, kindness, and humility. 
    Standing at the intersection of conviction and complacency, readers must choose: Will they settle for a life of quiet desperation? Or will they ignore the voices trying to silence them? Will they find their lost voice?

    Our Lady of the World's Fair -...

    Driven by different motives, Robert Moses and Francis Cardinal Spellman had the same vision: to display Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Pietà, in the Vatican's pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair in New York City. 
     
     
     
    As Ruth D. Nelson gracefully showcases, Moses believed this blockbuster would guarantee the fair's financial success. At the same time, Spellman, Archbishop of New York and the spiritual leader of Cold War America's Catholic community, hoped that at a time of domestic strife and global conflict, the Pietà's presence would have a positive spiritual impact on the nation. Although the fair did not turn out to be the financial bonanza that Moses expected, the Pietà drew record crowds of the faithful, art lovers, and the curious. 
     
     
     
    Nelson's fascinating uncovering of the intensive planning that went into designing the pavilion, transporting the art piece across the Atlantic, and coordinating Pope Paul VI's visit to New York in 1965—the first papal visit to the Western Hemisphere—demonstrates the sheer scale and opportunity of the two men's endeavors. Our Lady of the World's Fair depicts the skepticism and fierce criticism that faced the two New York power brokers. Rather than letting the negative weigh them down, they united and called on every resource at their disposal to make this unlikely cultural coup possible.

    New technologies are offering companies, politicians, and others unprecedented opportunity to manipulate us. Sometimes we are given the illusion of power—of freedom—through choice, yet the game is rigged, pushing us in specific directions that lead to less wealth, worse health, and weaker democracy. In Manipulation, nudge theory pioneer and New York Times bestselling author Cass Sunstein offers a new definition of manipulation for the digital age, explains why it is wrong, and shows what we can do about it. He reveals how manipulation compromises freedom and personal agency, while threatening to reduce our well-being; he explains the difference between manipulation and unobjectionable forms of influence, including "nudges"; and he lifts the lid on online manipulation and manipulation by artificial intelligence, algorithms, and generative AI, as well as threats posed by deepfakes, social media, and "dark patterns," which can trick people into giving up time and money. Drawing on decades of groundbreaking research in behavioral science, this landmark book outlines steps we can take to counteract manipulation in our daily lives and offers guidance to protect consumers, investors, and workers.
