  Audio Snaps Volume Two - the...

  Audio Snaps is a series of 100-minute audio books, each featuring a dozen or so stories from each of my five books. Black Vinyl White Powder is a bit different from the other books in that it was written as a continuous narrative moving through story after story. So the best way to fit it into the formula for the series was simply to read the first six chapters (later, I'll do the rest of the book). Black Vinyl White Powder is a history of the British pop music with insight into the recreational drugs of the the day and their relevance. Since I was there, and a part of it, it's very much written from my own point of view. The reviews when it was first published were exceptional, for instance - "One of the most authoritative, intelligent, diligently researched, 
  conscientiously indexed, and thoroughly unpretentious disquisitions on 
  the history of the British pop scene yet written." SUNDAY TELEGRAPH - "Napier-Bell provides a one-stop-shop education in what the music business – as opposed to the music itself – has always been about: get rich, get high, get laid." THE INDEPENDENT - "His preoccupation with trivia is what makes his book so compelling and informative. Napier-Bell knows that if you scratch the surface of pop music you will find more surface." TIMES HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT.

  The Mississippi Delta is not a place I would have picked to live and if you had asked me a few years ago what I knew about the region, it would have been a puzzle since I knew nothing of its history or culture -- I'd never even heard of Emmett Till.

  Fear Conditioning - Training...

  Fear conditioning is a psychological phenomenon in which individuals learn to associate fear with a specific stimulus. This process is a form of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes linked to an aversive experience, causing a conditioned fear response. Fear conditioning is fundamental to human and animal behavior, playing a crucial role in survival, but it can also contribute to anxiety disorders, phobias, and social manipulation. 
  The foundation of fear conditioning was laid by Ivan Pavlov’s classical conditioning experiments, later expanded by John B. Watson in his controversial “Little Albert” study. In this experiment, a young child was conditioned to fear a white rat by pairing its presence with a loud, frightening noise. This research demonstrated how fear responses could be artificially created and generalized to other stimuli. The brain plays a central role in this process, particularly the amygdala, which is responsible for processing emotional reactions and linking experiences with fear. 
  Fear conditioning occurs in many aspects of life, from early childhood experiences to societal influences. Parents, teachers, and authority figures may unintentionally condition children to associate certain actions, places, or people with fear, shaping their behavior and worldview. For example, a child punished harshly for speaking out may develop a lifelong fear of confrontation. Similarly, fear conditioning is a powerful tool used in politics, advertising, and the media to influence public perception and behavior.

  Campus Free Speech - A Pocket Guide

  Cass R. Sunstein

  Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech," yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement? 
   
   
   
  In this pragmatic, no-nonsense explainer, Cass Sunstein takes us through a wide range of scenarios involving students, professors, and administrators. He discusses why it's consistent with the First Amendment to punish students who shout down a speaker, but not those who chant offensive slogans; why a professor cannot be fired for writing a politically charged op-ed, yet a university might legitimately consider an applicant's political views when deciding whether to hire her. He explains why private universities are not legally bound by the First Amendment yet should, in most cases, look to follow it. And he addresses the thorny question of whether a university should officially take sides on public issues or deliberately keep the institution outside the fray.
