Summary

"Bridge Game Guide" is a comprehensive resource designed to elevate your contract bridge skills, focusing on bidding systems, gameplay strategies, and adherence to World Bridge Federation (WBF) regulations. It's structured as both a reference and a practical manual, aiming to improve your understanding and execution of the game. Did you know that mastering bidding systems is crucial for conveying hand strength and distribution, enabling precise contract selection? Also, grasping WBF rules ensures fair play and adherence to competitive bridge standards. The book uniquely emphasizes the practical application of theoretical knowledge, bridging the gap between learning bidding conventions like Standard American and Two-Over-One Game Force and excelling in tournament performance.

 
Beginning with fundamental concepts such as scoring and terminology, the guide progresses systematically through bidding systems, declarer play, defensive techniques, and card-reading skills. It culminates with ethical considerations and tournament etiquette, using practical hand examples and quizzes to reinforce learning.

 
The guide's approach is to blend established bridge theory with the wisdom of expert players, using real-life tournament scenarios to illustrate key concepts. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical examples, the book provides a deeper understanding of the logic and strategy that can be immediately applied at the bridge table.

    A Second Chance - A Federal...

    Murderous mafia capos. The police officer who brutalized Abner Louima. A purveyor of child pornography. These are some of the defendants to have come before US District Court Judge Frederic Block to ask for reductions in their prison sentences. All of them have been found guilty and have already served decades in prison, but under the 2018 First Step Act they are entitled to petition for reconsideration and release. 
     
     
     
    In a rare glimpse behind the bench, Judge Block recounts the cases of six incarcerated people who have done heinous things but have nevertheless petitioned him for their release. He then explains the criteria the First Step Act has spelled out for his consideration. And, in a novel twist, he asks the listener, "What would you do?" 
     
     
     
    Judge Block puts us out of our suspense in a third section of the book where he tells us what he did do in each case and why, as he weighs each compassionate release request, evaluating issues ranging from "the trial tax," to sentencing disparities, to judicial incompetence. Finally, Judge Block makes the compelling case that the First Step Act should be extended to state court judges, since state prisons house about ninety percent of those incarcerated. In a book that could be the basis for a new season of Law & Order, Judge Block challenges our ideas about punishment and justice.

    Mysteries of the Social Brain describes the scientific underpinnings of human behavior and values. Through the retelling of fascinating clinical stories of people with neurological conditions, this book explores the parts of the brain that allow humans to thrive as social and creative beings. The authors reveal the relevance of our brain circuits to our well‑being―and the well‑being of our societies―and show what happens when changes in our brain circuitry drive changes in empathy, altruism, moral beliefs, and creativity. 
     
    By integrating perspectives from neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the stories in this book offer novel insights into the inner workings of the social brain and reveal groundbreaking findings from work in frontotemporal dementia, emotion, and the science of human values. This book showcases the discovery that creativity can emerge when there is decline in the brain’s language systems, a finding that highlights the robust, yet underappreciated connections between science and art. Listeners will learn about the biological basis of social behavior as well as simple steps that they can take to improve the functioning of their own social brains. 
     
    This book will captivate general listeners as well as clinicians and scientists who are interested in human social behavior, cognition, and emotion.
