Sinopse

Historic Hoaxes explores the captivating world of deception through history's most elaborate hoaxes, examining the social, political, and psychological factors that allowed them to flourish. The book argues that these deceptions expose vulnerabilities in our systems of knowledge and highlight the need for constant vigilance against misinformation. One example explored is the Piltdown Man hoax, which highlights the pressure to make groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Another is the War of the Worlds broadcast, which shows the power of media to shape public perception. The book takes a narrative non-fiction approach, presenting each hoax as a compelling story. It is structured chronologically and thematically, beginning with scientific fabrications and then shifting to media-driven pranks. By examining hoaxes through the lenses of history, psychology, sociology, and media studies, Historic Hoaxes reveals the complex interplay of factors that contribute to their success and impact. The insights shared are applicable to contemporary challenges related to fake news and misinformation. Several of the discussed hoaxes sparked intense debates about scientific integrity and journalistic ethics. By understanding the historical precedents for these deceptions, readers can develop a more critical and discerning approach to evaluating information and protecting themselves from being misled.

    Renowned social justice advocate john a. powell persuasively argues that we have not achieved a post-racial society and that there is much work to do to redeem the American promise of inclusive democracy. Culled from a decade of writing about social justice and spirituality, these meditations on race, identity, and social policy provide an outline for laying claim to our shared humanity and a way toward healing ourselves and securing our future. Racing to Justice challenges us to replace attitudes and institutions that promote and perpetuate social suffering with those that foster relationships and a way of being that transcends disconnection and separation.

    We all carry sexual shame. Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American Evangelical Christianity or not, we've all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps readers overcome their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame. 
     
     
     
    Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundaryless sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic boundaries on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.

    Confucius was a Chinese thinker and political leader who was considered as the apotheosis of Chinese sages. Confucius' theories and philosophy, commonly seen as one of the most essential and prominent individuals in human history, created the structure of East Asian civilization and civilization, and stay appropriate across China and East Asia today. 
    Confucianism, his philosophical theories, highlighted personal and governmental morality, social connection precision, justice, generosity, and genuineness. Confucianism was instilled in Chinese civilization and way of living; for Confucians, daily life was a spiritual arena. Throughout the Hundred Schools of Thought age, his disciples contended efficiently with lots of other schools, only to be repressed in favor of the Legalists throughout the Qin dynasty. Confucius' ideas were formally approved in the new administration following Han's success over Chu after Qin's collapse. Confucianism developed into a system known in the West as Neo-Confucianism, and later as New Confucianism, at the time of the Tang and Tune dynasties. 
    Today, we will learn more about this highly influential philosophy, the man who was the author and creator of it, and the consequences it has had on society and cultures across the world, in particular the Chinese culture.

    In Traumatic Narcissism, Daniel Shaw presents a way of understanding the traumatic impact of narcissism as it is engendered developmentally, and as it is enacted relationally. Focusing on the dynamics of narcissism in interpersonal relations, Shaw describes the relational system of what he terms the 'traumatizing narcissist' as a system of subjugation—the objectification of one person in a relationship as the means of enforcing the dominance of the subjectivity of the other. 
     
     
     
    Bringing together theories of trauma and attachment, intersubjectivity and complementarity, and the rich clinical sensibility of the Relational Psychoanalysis tradition, Shaw demonstrates how narcissism can best be understood not merely as character, but as the result of the specific trauma of subjugation, in which one person is required to become the object for a significant other who demands hegemonic subjectivity. Traumatic Narcissism presents therapeutic clinical opportunities not only for psychoanalysts of different schools, but for all mental health professionals working with a wide variety of modalities. Although primarily intended for the professional psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, this is also a book that therapy patients and general audiences will find highly accessible and illuminating.
