Synopsis

Head Protection offers a comprehensive exploration of concussions and head injuries, emphasizing the critical need for understanding, prevention, and mitigation of long-term neurological damage. It highlights the biomechanics of head injuries, the importance of protective equipment like helmets, and the role of cognitive preparedness through reaction time training. Did you know that head injuries are not isolated events, and their cumulative effects can lead to conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)? This book uniquely synthesizes sports medicine, neuroscience, and public health, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience.

 
The book takes a multi-faceted approach to head protection, arguing that relying solely on helmets is insufficient. It advocates for combining advanced helmet technology with a deep understanding of impact forces and proactive cognitive training. For example, just as athletes train their bodies, cognitive training can sharpen reaction time and situational awareness, reducing injury risk.

 
Head Protection progresses from explaining head and brain anatomy to assessing the biomechanics of concussions, reviewing helmet designs, and providing methods for improving cognitive function. This holistic approach aims to equip readers with actionable strategies for brain protection.

The Backstage of the Care...

Helma Lutz

What is it like to care for another family, while yours remains in a different country? In today's capitalist society, migrant women performing care work in private households experience the painful tension of caring for both, often under precarious conditions. 
 
 
 
Characterized as the "backstage" family, the carer's remote relationship with their loved ones at home is often purely digital, with the double dilemmas of migrant motherhood and stay-behind fathers—exposing the pitfalls of transnational employment relations and the growth of social inequality. 
 
 
 
Here, Helma Lutz explores the debates around this issue, focusing on carers from Eastern Europe working in the West. She unpacks questions around feminist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of emotional labor, exploring how gender justice and the search for socialist feminist utopias can shape how we see a future—not only for the improvement of the carers' working and living conditions but also for a new way of dealing with care work.

We all keep secrets. 97 per cent of us are hiding a secret right now, and on average we each hold thirteen at any one time. There’s a one-in-two chance that those secrets involve a breach of trust, a lie or a financial impropriety. They are the stuff of gossip, of novels and of classic dramas; secrets form a major part of our hidden inner lives.Andrew Gold knows this better than anyone. As a public figure, he has found himself the unwitting recipient of hundreds of strangers' most private revelations. This set him on a journey to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by those of others? What happens to our mind when we confess?Drawing from psychology, history, social science, philosophy and personal interviews, The Psychology of Secrets is a rollicking journey through the history of secrecy.--"That Andrew Gold is a truly edgy journalist, broadcaster and now writer is - but should not be - one of our culture’s best kept secrets" - David Baddiel, bestselling author of The God Desire

How to Recognize Toxic Thought...

Olivia Werner

[How to Recognize Toxic Thought Patterns] delves deep into the intricate landscape of human consciousness, offering a lyrical and unflinching exploration of the ways our minds create and sustain patterns that both protect and constrain us. Through prose that mirrors the fluid, cyclical nature of thought itself, this illuminating work examines how toxic patterns disguise themselves as rationality, presenting as logical conclusions while quietly undermining our sense of self. Like a skilled cartographer mapping uncharted territory, the book traces the subtle ways these thought patterns weave themselves into the fabric of our daily existence, emerging in the spaces between breaths, in the gaps between messages, in the quiet moments before sleep. With its innovative approach to mental awareness, the work stands apart in its ability to capture the poetry of psychological experience while offering practical insights into the nature of toxic thinking, making the invisible visible through carefully crafted metaphors and precise psychological observation.

Moderate Conservatism -...

John Kekes

Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center by John Kekes is a response to attacks on the United States' 300-year-old constitutional democracy by extremists on the left and the right. It makes a reasoned case for moderation and the defense of a political system that has endured because it has balanced the often-conflicting claims of justice, liberty, equality, prosperity, and security. That balance is now threatened by extremists who ignore all else but their grievances. They are blind to the destructive consequences of their attacks on the conditions on which the well-being of all Americans, including their own, depends. 
 
 
 
The aim of Moderate Conservatism is to protect the United States' political system. It is a defense of what Americans have and are in danger of losing. Central to it is the rarely conscious patriotism of many millions of citizens who live private lives, earn a living, raise a family, and rely on the political system to protect the conditions in which they can continue to do so. They sustain life as Americans know it. And that life is now threatened by the destructive attacks of extremists. The United States is in urgent need of the balance and moderation this book describes and defends.

What Makes You Happy: Audio...

Andy Stanley

Everybody wants to be happy. Everybody is on a happiness quest. For many, happiness is measured in moments. Experiences. It's elusive. Unsustainable. What about you? What makes you happy? Something comes to mind for each of us.
In this six-session audio Bible study, pastor Andy Stanley examines the ways in which we tend to define happiness and explains how that definition influences the way we pursue it. He reveals that happiness is about who, not what, and that happy people are at peace with God, with others, and with themselves. He also shows how sin undermines peace because it separates us from God, others, and ourselves by substituting pleasure for fulfillment, things for people, images for intimacy, and self-expression for self-control.
We are often tempted to believe that happiness comes from acquiring things, but happiness is actually an outcome of what we sow in our lives. We can’t acquire, consume, or exercise our way to happiness, but we may be able to serve and volunteer our way there. In the end, we find that if we live as if it’s all about us, we will never be happy.
