The book progresses by first introducing the psychological principles of device addiction. It then transitions to examining family communication patterns and analyzing the effects of parental device usage on children, the impact of adolescent screen time on family conflict, and the role of technology in marital bonds.

This unique approach integrates both psychological and sociological perspectives, offering a holistic understanding of the issue and strategies for healthier family dynamics in our digital age.

Learn Japanese with Stories...

Clay Boutwell, Yumi Boutwell

This volume is a little different from the rest of the series. Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl is not a Japanese folktale at all. It is Danish, first published in 1845, but it has been loved in Japan for well over a century, and generations of Japanese children have grown up with it. That makes it a wonderful way to study: you may already know the story, so your mind is free to follow the Japanese.
It is New Year's Eve, bitterly cold, and a barefoot girl is still out in the streets trying to sell her matches. Andersen never softened his endings, and he does not soften this one. It is short, it is beautiful, and it stays with you.
The story is taught in six passes, so your understanding builds one layer at a time:
Story introduction: a short English preview so you know where you're headed
Vocabulary: key words in Japanese, then English, with room to repeat after a native speaker
Line-by-line: each sentence broken into short phrases with English meanings, then rebuilt
Normal speed: the story at natural pace, to hear how much more you catch now
Comprehension questions: answer out loud, then hear a model answer
English version: the whole story in English to confirm you understood it
Japanese narration by native speaker Yumi Boutwell, with English explanations by Megumi Boutwell. Learn Japanese with Stories has been helping people learn Japanese since 2002.
No textbook needed: press play in the car or on a walk and let the repetition do the work. For upper beginners (JLPT N5 to N4) ready to move past word lists into real Japanese. Includes a companion PDF with the Japanese text and vocabulary.

When Left Moves Right - The...

Maria Snegovaya

Over the past two decades, postcommunist countries have witnessed a sudden shift in the electoral fortunes of their political parties: previously successful center-left parties suffered dramatic electoral defeats and disappeared from the political scene, while right-wing populist parties soared in popularity and came to power. This dynamic echoed similar processes in Western Europe and raises a question: Were these dynamics in any way connected? When Right Moves Left argues that they were. And that the root of the connection between them lies in the pro-market rebranding of the ex-communist left—the key explanatory variable. This book asserts that, though the left's pro-market shift initially led to electoral rewards, it had a less straightforward impact on left-wing parties' electoral fortunes in the long run. 
 
 
 
The book draws upon different levels of analysis: cross-country observational data, case studies, and individual-level experimental surveys. It argues that scholars should incorporate the economic policy dimension when explaining the demise of the left and the rise of the populist right in the region. It also examines important parallels between the dynamics of Western and postcommunist countries by arguing that the idiosyncrasy of Eastern European politics has been overstated in scholarly literature.

Journey Kwantu - Exploring...

Vusumzi Ngxande

'KWANTU MEANS HOME'
For decades, African spirituality has been demonised or met with suspicion. Many people find themselves at a crossroads that has them questioning their religious upbringing while trying to understand their place within African spiritual practice. There are those who have to choose between being a believer, usually in the Christian faith, or believing in their ancestors. As the cultural trajectory of the world shifts, more people desire a deeper understanding of ancestral practices, their history and their relevance to modern life.
Journey Kwantu is inspired by Vusumzi Ngxande's popular podcast of the same name that delves into South African spiritual identity, showing how it has evolved over hundreds of years. The book is rooted in extensive historical research, lived experiences and interviews with healers, teachers and ordinary people trying to live their truth.
With a unique ability to simplify complex issues, the author endeavours to answer taboo questions like, 'Who are we?' and 'How did we come to believe what we believe?' In the process, he deals with challenges he has struggled with on his own spiritual journey, from death, the afterlife and the authority of ancestors versus the power of God, to more practical matters like performing rituals in urban areas and understanding lineage and its impact on one's spiritual life.
Deeply perceptive and engaging, Journey Kwantu offers guidance and sustenance to African believers.
