  Blame Changer by psychologist Carmel O'Brien, former head of Clinical Services at Victoria's Doncare, provides straight forward answers to common questions and aims to debunk pervasive myths around what Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull last year called "one of Australia's greatest shames" domestic violence. But Blame Changer is much more than the definitive rebuttal of some of society's most damaging, ill-informed and pervasive attitudes about domestic violence. It sounds a clarion call for a change in the way we talk - at the dinner table, on social media and in national conversation at the highest levels - about women and the violence they experience. What's more, it's also a practical guide that will help victims of abuse: Blame Changer also shows friends and family how to help a victim of abuse and challenges how the Family Court system responds to allegations of abuse. This is the definitive guide to domestic violence in Australia, by a woman who has worked with countless victims over many years.

  The Shocking Truth about Public...

  Public health policies are often framed as measures designed to protect the population, improve well-being, and prevent disease. Governments, health agencies, and media outlets present these policies as the result of careful scientific research, public interest, and expert consensus. However, beneath the surface, public health is not just about science—it is deeply entangled with politics, economics, and power structures that influence decisions more than most people realize.  
    
  Many assume that public health guidelines are purely based on the best available data, but the reality is far more complex. Policies are frequently shaped by corporate interests, lobbying efforts, and political agendas rather than unbiased scientific evidence. Pharmaceutical companies, food conglomerates, and other industries wield significant influence over the very institutions meant to regulate them. This raises critical questions: Are these policies truly designed for the benefit of the people, or are they tools for financial and political gain?  
    
  The illusion of safety plays a crucial role in how these policies are accepted by the public. Fear-based messaging, emotional appeals, and selective use of data are commonly employed to justify drastic measures. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a stark example of this phenomenon—governments around the world enforced lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and surveillance measures, all under the banner of public health. Those who questioned the effectiveness or necessity of these policies were often silenced, labeled as spreading misinformation, or even punished. This suppression of dissent not only limits individual freedom but also prevents legitimate scientific debate from taking place.

  Over the centuries, we have learned to peer into what was once invisible. Imaging devices like cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and MRI machines map the world around, beyond, and within us in ways the naked eye could never see. In so doing, these technologies have transformed our understanding of our place in the universe and our conception of our own bodies―and we may be on the cusp of an even greater revolution.Daniel K. Sodickson―a physicist and biomedical imaging innovator―explores the rich history and surprising future of vision, from the evolution of eyes to emerging high-tech devices. Beginning in the early oceans, when organisms first developed sight, The Future of Seeing tells the stories of the many remarkable tools people have invented to extend our natural vision. Ranging from the tales of brilliant inventors to profiles of everyday people, this book shows how imaging has transformed the practice of medicine, reshaped the global economy, and complicated the notion of privacy. In the era of artificial intelligence, Sodickson argues, it will be reinvented even further, emulating not only our senses but also our brains. Inviting and eye-opening, The Future of Seeing is a revelatory look at what imaging teaches us about the way we see the world, each other, and ourselves.

  Beating the System: Exposing the...

  The federal justice system is a grotesque charade, manipulated by the government to crush dissent and exert authoritarian control. Described as the regime's brutal enforcers, federal prosecutors ruthlessly hunt for convictions, unconcerned with fairness or justice. Empowered by unchecked authority, FBI agents and other federal operatives twist the law to bolster a tyrannical system, trampling civil liberties without remorse. Meanwhile, federal public defenders, overwhelmed and underfunded, are pawns in a rigged game designed to ensure defeat for the accused. 
  In 'Beating the System,' Ardit Ferizi pulls back the curtain on the dark corridors of the U.S. Department of Justice, revealing a sinister world of systemic abuse and tyranny. More than an exposé, this book is a battle cry and a survival guide, arming readers with crucial knowledge to fight against the federal behemoth. From the deceptions in the courtroom to the treachery of prison life post-sentencing, Ferizi exposes the cruel mechanisms—like jailhouse snitches and deceitful plea bargains—that force guilty pleas and secure wrongful convictions. 
  The book delves deep into the initial stages of legal battles, the deceit of grand juries, and the hurdles of trial and discovery in 'The Federal Court Gauntlet.' It also uncovers the toxic snitch culture and its devastating impact on sentencing in 'The Snitch System and Self-Sabotage.' In 'Surviving and Thriving Post-Sentencing,' it offers tactics for enduring and navigating the brutal reality of prison life. 
  'Beating the System' is a vehement guide to dismantling the corrupt forces entrenched in federal governance. It demands a radical overthrow of a justice system that serves prosecution over people, urging a rebellion against governmental tyranny."
