Sinopse

Birth of Television explores the captivating history of television, from its technological origins to its profound cultural impact. The book illustrates how television's evolution was not solely a result of technological advancement, but also a product of strategic decisions by media moguls and the social changes it spurred.

 
Early television pioneers, like Philo Farnsworth, faced numerous struggles in bringing electronic image transmission to life. The book examines the crucial inventions, strategic corporate decisions, and societal impacts that shaped television's rise. It emphasizes the human element behind the technology, highlighting the stories of inventors, entrepreneurs, and programmers.

 
The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with early experiments and culminating in television's widespread adoption, while also exploring the rivalry between mechanical and electronic television. It acknowledges the global spread of television and its adaptation across different cultural contexts.

 
What makes Birth of Television unique is its narrative non-fiction approach, using vivid storytelling to engage readers. By drawing upon primary sources and media studies, the book provides a comprehensive account of television's development. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, offering a balanced perspective on the key events and figures who shaped the media landscape and the television industry.

    In a time that rewards personality and platform over integrity and character, author Chuck DeGroat invites us to return to the humble work of deep, lasting transformation.We have more insights and resources for emotional and spiritual health than ever before, yet it takes one look at the headlines―and even our own lives―to see that true depth of character is still lacking. From the broken trust in the highest political, corporate, and ecclesial offices in the land to the broken places in our own hearts, we’re facing a profound unveiling. How can we ever really know who to count on? How do we make sense of it all? And in a day of quick comebacks and empty apologies, how does slow and lasting change take place?It won’t be easy, but it will be sacred. Combining rich cultural analysis with pastoral and psychological wisdom, therapist and professor Chuck DeGroat invites us beyond techniques and tactics to offer a revolutionary, hopeful new guide for building the internal and external architecture for deep and sustaining character change.In Who You’re Becoming, we’ll:gently confront the ways we’ve traded character for charisma, formation for information, communion for control, discipleship for displaythink clearly and carefully about how Christlike character grows and matures―in our personal lives, parenting, church and spiritual formation processes, even educational spacesexplore new discoveries in psychology and neurobiology that reveal how character breaks down―and how it can be rebuiltengage ancient and contemporary processes and practices that cultivate strong friendships, grounded leaders, connected marriages, healthy systems, anchored identity, and creative workThe temptation to posture is strong, but the invitation of Christ is deeper still. It’s an invitation not to perform, but to become ourselves: rooted, ripened, and resilient in a fractured and fragmented world.

    This timely book moves the dial on the perception of challenging behaviour in schools. De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it.
    The causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll.Changing Perceptionsexamines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.
    Empathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don't just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived.
    In this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more.
    Essential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour.

    A vigorous and timely defense of the state as a force for good 
    For decades now wealth and power have been shifting from states to markets. This experiment has been a failure for all but a privileged few. But this trend is beginning to reverse, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen the state play the most direct and positive role in citizens’ everyday lives in living memory. 
    Graeme Garrard makes a powerful case for the state as our only realistic hope of countering the rising power of multinational corporations, organized crime, and international organizations that will always put their own interests first. Today, the state is essential to the health and welfare of everyone except the rich and powerful. Yet it is being rolled back and whittled away, leaving the well-being of most of us at the mercy of unaccountable private powers that are increasingly free from external control. As Garrard shows, the state is the only realistic way of promoting the public good in our time.

    What is this "mania for prohibition" that invades both public and private spaces? What does the proliferation of prohibitions imply in our everyday lives, and what consequences does it have on our social ties and our individual and intimate behavior? Do they impose a necessary norm for "living well together", or do they generate a liberating temptation? Henri-Pierre Jeudy redefines the forbidden in all its aspects, from the child who must obey censorship to environmental or public health policies. A book by an anthropologist, a philosopher, a sociologist and a poet, a precise and humorous look at the contemporary world.
