Beschreibung

Symposium is a philosophical text by Plato. It concerns itself at one level with the genesis, purpose and nature of love, and is the origin of the concept of Platonic love. Love is examined in a sequence of speeches by men attending a symposium, or drinking party. Each man must deliver an encomium, a speech in praise of Love (Eros). The party takes place at the house of the tragedian Agathon in Athens. Socrates in his speech asserts that the highest purpose of love is to become a philosopher or, literally, a lover of wisdom. The dialogue has been used as a source by social historians seeking to throw light on life in ancient Athens, in particular upon sexual behavior, and the symposium as an institution.

    Breastfeeding is a crucial aspect of early motherhood that plays a significant role in the health and development of both the mother and the baby. Yet, many mothers face challenges or choose not to breastfeed due to various reasons, such as lack of support, time constraints, or misconceptions about formula feeding. Understanding the consequences of not breastfeeding and the benefits it offers can help new mothers make more informed decisions for their well-being and their child's future.The Risks of Not Breastfeeding: Health Risks to the Baby: Babies who are not breastfed miss out on vital nutrients and antibodies that can protect them from infections, illnesses, and diseases. Breastfeeding strengthens the baby's immune system, reducing the likelihood of:Respiratory infections and ear infectionsGastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhoeaChronic conditions later in life, like asthma, obesity, and type 2 diabetesThe Importance of BreastfeedingNutritional Superiority: Breast milk is the perfect food for infants. It contains the ideal balance of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to meet the baby's developmental needs. Unlike formula, breast milk adapts to the baby's changing nutritional requirements as they grow.

These antibodies protect against respiratory and digestive infections, helping babies build a more robust immune system

    A timely and deeply moving story of family, history, and Ukraine 
     
    In 2014, the landmarks of Victoria Belim’s personal geography were plunged into tumult at the hands of Russia. Her hometown, Kyiv, was gripped by protests and violence. Crimea, where she’d once been sent to school to avoid radiation from the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, was invaded. Kharkiv,  
    where her grandmother Valentina studied economics and fell in love; Donetsk, where her father once worked; and Mariupol, where she and her mother bought a cherry tree for Valentina’s garden, all became battlegrounds. 
     
    Victoria, by then an American citizen living in Brussels, felt she had to go back. She had to spend time with her aging grandmother and her cousin Dima. She had to unravel a family mystery spanning several generations. And she needed to understand how a century of her country’s tragic history had  
    changed the course of their lives. 
     
    The Rooster House is a beautifully written memoir of a family, a country’s past, and its dangerous present. It is about parents and children, true believers and victims, gardens and art, secrets and tragedy. Compulsively readable, deeply moving, and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it is a stunning debut  
    book by an experienced, expressive, and gifted writer.

    Best-selling author Michael Shermer presents an overarching theory of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. 
     
    Nothing happens by accident, everything is connected, and there are no coincidences: that is the essence of conspiratorial thinking. Long a fringe part of the American political landscape, conspiracy theories are now mainstream: 147 members of Congress voted in favor of objections to the 2020  
    presidential election based on an unproven theory about a rigged electoral process promoted by the mysterious group QAnon. But this is only the latest example in a long history of ideas that include the satanic panics of the 1980s, the New World Order and Vatican conspiracy theories, fears about  
    fluoridated water, speculations about President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and the notions that the Sandy Hook massacre was a false-flag operation and 9/11 was an inside job. 
     
    In Conspiracy, Michael Shermer presents an overarching review of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. Trust in conspiracy theories, he writes, cuts across gender, age, race, income, education level, occupational status—and even  
    political affiliation. One reason that people believe these conspiracies, Shermer argues, is that enough of them are real that we should be constructively conspiratorial: elections have been rigged (LBJ's 1948 Senate race); medical professionals have intentionally harmed patients in their care (Tuskegee); your  
    government does lie to you (Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Afghanistan); and, tragically, some adults do conspire to sexually abuse children. But Shermer reveals that other factors are also in play: anxiety and a sense of loss of control play a role in conspiratorial cognition patterns, as do certain personality traits. 
     
    This engaging book will be an important read for anyone concerned about the future direction of American politics, as well as anyone who's watched friends or family fall into patterns of conspiratorial thinking.
