  Our lives are minefields of misinformation. It ripples through our social media feeds, our daily headlines, and the pronouncements of politicians, executives, and authors. Stories, statistics, and studies are everywhere, allowing people to find evidence to support whatever position they want. Many of these sources are flawed, yet by playing on our emotions and preying on our biases, they can gain widespread acceptance, warp our views, and distort our decisions. 
   
   
    
  In this eye-opening book, renowned economist Alex Edmans teaches us how to separate fact from fiction. Using colorful examples—from a wellness guru's tragic but fabricated backstory to the blunders that led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster to the diet that ensnared millions yet hastened its founder's death—Edmans highlights the biases that cause us to mistake statements for facts, facts for data, data for evidence, and evidence for proof. 
   
   
    
  Armed with the knowledge of what to guard against, he then provides a practical guide to combat this tide of misinformation. Going beyond simply checking the facts and explaining individual statistics, Edmans explores the relationships between statistics—the science of cause and effect—ultimately training us to think smarter, sharper, and more critically.

  The Choice to Leave Abuse

  God strongly condemns any form of abuse. 
  In recent years, the struggles of Latter-day Saints in abusive relationships have made national headlines. The media attention has highlighted a deeply unfortunate perception: many Latter-day Saints fear that by choosing to leave an abusive relationship, they are at risk of breaking their covenants with God. Mental health professionals and law enforcement officers who work with Latter-day Saint populations attest to the number of people who continue to be hurt, humiliated, and even killed because they believe it is their religious obligation to endure abuse to the end. 
  This damaging misperception, and the traditions that have helped create and maintain it, must be corrected. With a direct and straightforward discussion of the doctrines and teachings about abuse, this book not only provides clear guidance for bishops and other local leaders on how to respond to abuse, but it will also help you discover God's true feelings about abuse and the love he has for all who suffer. 
  Learn to identify the signs of abuse in your own relationships and in others. 
  Overcome roadblocks that may be hindering escape from an abusive situation. 
  Follow the path of healing in mind, body, and spirit. 
  The gospel of Jesus Christ offers tremendous hope, healing, and redemption for those who suffer mistreatment, neglect, and abuse of all kinds. The deliverance offered is not only spiritual and post-mortal, it is temporal, applying to here and now. This message needs to work its way into our collective conscience and become an integral part of our culture.

  Urban Geography - Patterns and...

  Urban geography is a specialized subfield within human geography that focuses on the spatial aspects of cities and urban areas. It seeks to understand the patterns, processes, and interactions that shape the development of cities, as well as the complex dynamics between urban spaces and the broader environment. This discipline is essential for comprehending how cities evolve, function, and adapt to the challenges of urbanization in a rapidly changing world. 
  The role of cities in geography is multifaceted. Cities are not only the centers of economic, political, and cultural activity but also crucial nodes in the global network. They function as hubs for trade, finance, education, and innovation, while also representing unique environments that reflect the broader social, economic, and environmental conditions of their regions. Urban areas often act as catalysts for growth and change, influencing not just their immediate surroundings but the larger global landscape as well. 
  At the core of urban geography lies the exploration of key concepts that shape the organization and transformation of cities. These concepts include urbanization, which refers to the increasing concentration of populations in cities, and urban systems, which describe the networks and interconnections between various urban centers. Additionally, urban geography explores issues like land use, transportation, housing, and social dynamics, all of which play a significant role in the functioning of urban environments.

  State looters Again and again

  On September 15, 2017, in front of millions of television viewers, Emmanuel Macron, with François Bayrou, his Keeper of the Seals at the time, delivered his first lie: “It is now impossible to be elected when you have a B2 criminal record”. Nothing could be further from the truth: in 2025, it is still possible to stand for election and be elected after having been convicted by the courts, whereas there are 396 jobs requiring a clean criminal record. Ten years after the best-seller Pilleurs d'État (State Looters), which sold 120,000 copies, Philippe Pascot takes stock of the progress and setbacks in French politics, listing all the legal abuses still available to the political class: exorbitant salaries and associated expenses, tax exemptions, multiple pensions, fictitious employment, exceptional justice, show trials, bogus declarations of interest and activities, and so many other little arrangements between friends... For Philippe Pascot, the findings are indisputable: “Behind a declared desire for transparency and moralization in the political sphere, our elected representatives continue to nurture their own interests through laws that are less and less comprehensible, in order to escape criminal prosecution and drape themselves in a circumstantial innocence. ”
