The Facebook Paradox - How We Connect and Disconnect in the Digital Age

Azhar ul Haque Sario

Maison d'édition: Royal Co.

Synopsis

Ever felt strangely connected and utterly alone at the same time? That's the Facebook paradox. This book dives deep into how Facebook, with its likes, shares, and endless feeds, shapes our lives in ways we barely understand. We'll explore the brain science behind those feel-good hormones triggered by online interactions. We'll uncover how Facebook can fuel social movements and also isolate us in echo chambers.
 
 
 
This book isn't just another 'social media is bad' rant. It's a balanced look at the good, the bad, and the complicated. We'll go beyond the headlines to understand how Facebook impacts our self-esteem, our relationships, and even our politics. Think of it as your guide to navigating the digital age with your eyes wide open.

Heal the Presence of the Past

Christina Bucher

HEAL PRESENCE OF THE PASTFamilies repeat unresolved trauma in future generations.We are influenced by those who came before us and influencing those who come after. Everything in the universe is interconnected so are we. We inherit cultures and experiences. This is known as collective unconscious or memory in nature.It organises itself in systems such as flock of birds, religions, countries, football teams and so on, but the most important system for human beings is the family. Family systems are responsible for how we live and how we thrive through natural laws called 'The Orders of Love".The orders of love rarely exist intact within the average family. They dictate who belongs and what will happen to the family when a member has been excluded by them in an attempt to achieve collective hamony. Exclusions are separations and create trauma, disruption and unbalance. They are known as entanglements and are cause of pain and suffering. Restablishing these orders will bring peace an freedom to the individual and to the group.'The idea of the memory being the brain is an assumption. Everything that happens in our culture we inherit,' Rupert Sheldrake.Whilst life is the greatest gift given to us by our parents, trauma is the greatest obstacle. It plays like a broken record, in cycles and shows itself through symptoms well known to all: drug addiction, lack of motivation, new partner with the same behaviour as the old one, always working but broke most of the time...- What if a man’s drug addiction were really a search for connection with his father?- Suppose a suicidal adolescent was unconsciously trying to follow the fate of an older brother who wasn't born because the mother had a miscarriage?- What if a woman’s breast cancer were rooted in the unconscious feeling of guilt for having had an abortion?- Why do marriages where a spouse who cheated then was forgiven ends?This book brings, in simple language, the theory and 25 case studies.

Multipolarity After Ukraine -...

Aldo Ferrari, Eleonora Tafuro...

One year after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war has exacerbated the rift between Russia and the "collective West".
While Western governments have been steadfast in punishing Russia for the invasion, other countries around the world have been more ambiguous, at times even choosing to side with Moscow politically or economically. These dynamics have revived the idea of a shift towards
multipolarity along an anti-Western trajectory. Are we really heading in that direction? Are we facing increasing fragmentation due to the war or a re-consolidation of longstanding alliances? What principles underlie the formation of these blocs? What are the consequences of these dynamics for global security and the global economy?
This Report aims to shed light on these questions, while also outlining the war's possible future implications for the Russian Federation, the "West", and the international order.

Black on Both Sides - A Racial...

C. Riley Snorton

The story of Christine Jorgensen, America's first prominent transsexual, narrated trans embodiment in the postwar era. Her celebrity, however, has obscured other mid-century trans narratives. Their erasure from trans history masks the ways race has figured prominently in the construction and representation of transgender subjects. In Black on Both Sides, C. Riley Snorton identifies multiple intersections between blackness and transness from the mid-nineteenth century to present-day anti-black and anti-trans legislation and violence. 
 
 
 
Drawing on a varied archive of materials, Snorton attends to how slavery and the production of racialized gender provided the foundations for an understanding of gender as mutable. In tracing the genealogies of blackness and transness, Snorton follows multiple trajectories, from the medical experiments conducted on enslaved black women to the negation of blackness. 
 
 
 
Revealing instances of personal sovereignty among blacks in the antebellum North that were mapped in terms of "cross dressing" and black literary works that express black men's access to the "female within," Black on Both Sides concludes with a reading of the fate of Phillip DeVine, who was murdered alongside Brandon Teena in 1993. Reconstructing these trajectories furthers our capacities to conceive more livable black and trans worlds.

Brian Boru - Biography of a...

Kelly Mass

Brian Boru, one of medieval Ireland’s most celebrated figures, was an Irish king who played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s history. He is best known for ending the centuries-long dominance of the Uí Néill over the High Kingship of Ireland and resisting the Viking invasions that had threatened Irish sovereignty. Brian’s rise to power built upon the efforts of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and his older brother, Mathgamain mac Cennétig, solidifying his place as one of Ireland’s most effective and unifying leaders.  
Brian’s initial ascent began as the King of Munster. From there, he expanded his influence, conquering Leinster and ultimately claiming the title of High King of Ireland. His legacy includes founding the O’Brien dynasty, which played a significant role in Irish history long after his death. During his time, Ireland’s population was fewer than 500,000, yet it was fragmented into more than 150 small kingdoms. Brian’s ability to unify such a fractured land set him apart as a leader.
