Birth control and the state : A plea and a forecast

C. P. Blacker

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Birth Control and the State: A Plea and a Forecast," C. P. Blacker presents a compelling examination of birth control within the context of public policy and state intervention. The book is marked by its persuasive rhetorical style, seamlessly blending empirical data with philosophical inquiries into the moral implications of birth control. Blacker critically analyzes the socio-political landscape of his time, arguing for a progressive approach to reproductive rights that considers the implications for individual liberty and social welfare. His work reflects the early 20th-century discourse surrounding population control, public health, and women's rights, positioning it as a vital contribution to contemporary debates on reproductive justice. C. P. Blacker, a prominent figure in the early 20th century, was influenced by the growing movements for women's rights and the public health discourse of his era. His academic background and advocacy work intersected with the burgeoning field of sociology, where he cultivated a profound understanding of the societal implications of birth control. Blacker's personal experiences and intellectual journey led him to explore the intersections of morality, health, and the role of the state in shaping reproductive choices. This essential read is recommended for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the historical context of reproductive rights. Blacker's philosophical grounding and empirical arguments provide valuable insights into the enduring complexities of birth control, making it a thought-provoking exploration that remains relevant in today's discussions on state governance and individual autonomy.

Running from the Mirror - A Memoir

Howard Shulman

As quickly as his face disappeared, so did his mother and father. 
 
 
 
Just three days after he was born, Howard Shulman contracted an infection that attacked his face, devouring his nose, lips, lower right eyelid, tear ducts, and palate. Abandoned at the hospital by his parents, he became a ward of New Jersey under the care of a state-employed surgeon who experimentally rebuilt his face. 
 
 
 
Running from the Mirror is a poignant story of one man's struggle to survive against staggering odds and create a meaningful life for himself. With unapologetic candor, Howard gives an unflinching account of growing up a bullied outcast, with no family to officially call his own. Relying on little more than street smarts and grit, he rises from dishwasher to successful entrepreneur. Along the way, a European actress, a schoolteacher, and a fiery Latina help transform his life. 
 
 
 
Filled with heart-wrenching suffering as well as soul-lifting joy, Running from the Mirror is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Dark Psychology - Body Language...

Wesley Felt

How do you encourage someone to eagerly make a purchase from you? How can you ensure the sale? 
  
The most effective way to gain someone’s trust and motivate them to buy from you or join your team is to "carefully enter the conversation already happening in their mind." By doing so, you help your prospect see the value of your service through the information you provide, leading them to recognize their need for what you offer. 
  
I once heard a quote that says, "People don't like to be sold to, but they pretend to buy." 
  
Numerous sales skills and manipulation techniques exist for building trust with potential customers superficially. However, the most powerful way to influence and persuade is by understanding their thoughts, feelings, desires, and the problems they seek to solve, particularly in your area of expertise. Unless you possess mind-reading abilities, the best approach is to ask open-ended, empowering questions. This helps build rapport and engages in meaningful discussion to guide them toward the desired outcome, linking their needs with the benefits and features of your product, service, and your "why." 
  
People have a deep-seated love for stories, something we've been exposed to since childhood. The most effective way to inspire rather than coerce is by sharing your personal story—why you are in the business and the benefits you, your family, and your clients have experienced. It may seem cliché, but being a "product of the product" and offering relevant testimonials that align with the answers you obtained from your open-ended questions can be powerful.
