  Welcome to a revolutionary approach to language learning! This series helps you master Spanish by intertwining it with compelling topics like Fitness. Each book centers on a theme (art, science, history) and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and Spanish. 
   
  How It Works: 
   
  - Each fact is first introduced in Spanish, encouraging you to interpret it.

  Benefits:

  Digital Grooming - Discourses of...

  Illicit digital activity is a substantial and growing problem. Extremists' use of social media over the past decade or so has raised increasing concern among governments and media corporations alike. In Digital Grooming Nuria Lorenzo-Dus analyzes manipulation practices in digital spaces that are situated at, or beyond, the boundaries of law. Lorenzo-Dus identifies and examines in detail the online discourse of adults luring children for sexual abuse and exploitation (digital sexual grooming); extreme ideology groups aligning others to their views (digital ideological grooming); and drug dealers soliciting business in crypto markets (digital commercial grooming). With sophisticated style and stance analyses of large and varied datasets, the book reveals that digital sexual, ideological, and commercial grooming practices have much in common. Three stances—expertise, openness, and avidity—scaffold this manipulative work, which constructs groomers and their targets as sharing a homogenous identity. 
   
   
   
  By shedding new light on grooming practices, this book provides a key resource for discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, communication, and media studies, as well as for practitioners aiming to counter online grooming through policy changes, detection software, and prevention-focused training to promote digital civility and safety.

  Self-Justification and Ego...

  This book bundle has two books in it. The topics are as follows: 
  - The Self-Serving Bias: At its core, the self-serving bias serves to protect and enhance self-esteem. By crediting successes to internal factors, individuals reinforce their belief in their own competence and abilities. This, in turn, boosts confidence and motivates continued effort. On the flip side, by attributing failures to external, uncontrollable factors such as bad luck, difficult circumstances, or the actions of others, individuals avoid the negative emotional consequences of failure. This creates a shield that protects one’s self-image, allowing a person to maintain a positive outlook even when things go wrong. 
  - The Slippery Slope Fallacy: Fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the logical validity of an argument. They often appear persuasive on the surface, yet, when examined closely, they reveal flaws that can mislead individuals or entire groups. In an increasingly complex world, recognizing these logical fallacies is crucial for navigating discussions, making informed decisions, and engaging in rational debate. The ability to identify fallacious reasoning helps individuals critically evaluate arguments and avoid being swayed by flawed logic. Among the various types of fallacies, the Slippery Slope fallacy is one of the most prevalent. It involves the assumption that a particular action will inevitably lead to extreme and undesirable consequences, often without sufficient evidence to support such a claim. This form of argument relies heavily on fear and exaggeration, suggesting that even a small step in a certain direction will set off a chain of events leading to catastrophic results. The Slippery Slope fallacy is commonly used in political, legal, and social debates, where the consequences of a decision or policy are often portrayed as extreme and far-reaching.

  We broke our new series on learning Filipino [Tagalog] down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.  
  This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Filipino [Tagalog]. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
  In Unit 1 you will hear Filipino [Tagalog] decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Filipino [Tagalog] speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Filipino [Tagalog]. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Filipino [Tagalog] at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Filipino [Tagalog], Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned.
