Sinossi

You will never look at Marvel's fan-favorite character Daredevil the same way again! In fact, you may even start to look at your own world a bit differently too. Welcome aboard a genre-bending ride that combines an ambitious exploration of the science of the senses with a deep dive into the comic book and live-action pursuits of the Marvel superhero Daredevil.What could possibly allow someone to hear heartbeats? Is there something it is like to “radar-sense”? Is it true that your remaining senses are enhanced if you lose one of them? And, how is it that any of us can sense anything in the first place? Christine Hanefalk takes an in-depth look at these questions – and many more – in this definitive examination of the science of Daredevil’s senses. Convinced that Matt Murdock makes for the best thought experiment in comics, the author makes a passionate case for how we might come to understand this fan-favorite character on a deeper level, making room for both his blindness and heightened senses.If you are both a Daredevil fan and someone who enjoys the science non-fiction genre, this book is sure to satisfy on both counts. Balancing a healthy amount of irreverence with a meticulously researched examination of the relevant science, as well as the history of Matt Murdock’s fictional pursuits, Being Matt Murdock is sure to entertain and enlighten.

    Why Smart People Don't Have Many...

    The paradox of intelligence and friendship has puzzled both scholars and individuals for generations. While high intelligence is often associated with success and achievement, it can also come with a significant social challenge: the difficulty of forming and maintaining meaningful friendships. For highly intelligent people, the complex nature of their cognitive abilities can create barriers that make social interactions more challenging. Despite their many strengths, these individuals often find themselves isolated, misunderstood, and distanced from others who may not share the same intellectual capacity or way of thinking. 
      
    At the heart of this dilemma lies the disconnect between cognitive intelligence and social intelligence. While a high IQ may contribute to success in academic or professional settings, it doesn't necessarily translate into an ability to navigate the nuances of social interactions. Many highly intelligent people find themselves struggling with small talk, social expectations, and the emotional needs of others. In fact, the more an individual is absorbed in intellectual pursuits, the more likely they are to experience a sense of isolation and a lack of genuine connection with those around them. 
      
    Furthermore, emotional intelligence—the ability to recognize and manage one’s emotions and understand those of others—is often underdeveloped in highly intelligent individuals. This creates a gap in understanding social cues, empathy, and the emotional nuances of human interaction. As a result, even when these individuals desire connection, they may inadvertently alienate others or fail to form the deep, meaningful relationships they long for.

    Does any of this sound familiar?

    - You continue to revolve around people who you know are taking advantage of you or exploiting you. 
    - You are committed to remaining loyal to someone who has betrayed you, even though their actions indicate few signs of change. 
    - You are desperate to be understood, validated, or needed by those who have indicated they do not care about you.

    - How to start feeling safe with yourself 
    - How to resolve Heartache and Obsession and move on

    This is a compilation of 6 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    1: Charles Dickens is often remembered because of his Christmas Carol. And even though that is a very interesting novel, it wasn’t even his favorite. Some artists and authors claim that a work of art or a novel should be completely separated from the creator. 
    2: Perhaps you have heard of Edgar Allan Poe. Perhaps not. Either way, this 19th-century author has received quite some fame for his works and his unique style. His mystery and gruesome horror stories, comedy, and other genres have reached far into the depths of American literature. 
    3: Jane Austen is well-known for some famous books, among which the popular “Pride and Prejudice.” As an author in the early 1800s, many people may envision pretty dresses and fancy demeanor, but the reality of her life included some hardships as well that may not be so obvious by reading her novels. 
    4: Mark Twain is arguably one of the most famous authors in the United States, with his books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. His characters were a typical and yet deviant episode of the time period in which he lived, depicting the circumstances under which many people lived. 
    5: Oscar Wilde was a wild one. His statements were bold, his career was successful, and his tongue was sharp. Not only did he disturb the common narrative of the nuclear family, the Catholic church, and the idea of patriotism, but he also blew many people away with his defense of his principles, his criticism on the state, philosophies on life itself, etc. 
    6: William Shakespeare is the celebrated script writer of the most popular plays in the English language. By writing both tragedies, romances, and comedies in the 16th century, he made a name for himself and became successful in the art of drama.

    The waters of the Pacific Ocean – stretching deep blue under the tropical sun, or scourged by typhoons – provided World War II's most far-flung battlefield. Two of the world's premier mid 20th century maritime powers, the United States of American and the Empire of Japan, grappled for supremacy across that vast expanse.  
    	Although not as well-remembered as D-Day or even the attack at Pearl Harbor that preceded it, the Battle of Midway was one of the most unique and important battles fought during World War II. In fact, the turning point in the Pacific theater took place between June 4-7, 1942 as a Japanese fleet moved a sizable fleet intending to occupy Midway Island and draw the American navy near. Instead, American aircraft flying from three aircraft carriers that had been away from Pearl Harbor in December 1941 got a bearing on the Japanese fleet and sunk four Japanese aircraft carriers, permanently crippling Japan’s navy. The Battle of Midway was one of the first major naval battles in history where the enemy fleets never actually saw or came into contact with each other.  
    	By the time the Battle of Midway was over, the defeat was so devastating that it was actually kept secret from all but the highest echelons of the Japanese government. Along with the loss of hundreds of aircraft and over 3,000 men killed, the four Japanese aircraft carriers lost, when compared to America’s one lost carrier, was critical considering America’s huge shipbuilding superiority. However, the Battle of Midway could also have easily turned out differently.
