Summary

Peer Pressure Effects explores how external influences, particularly from peers, can significantly contribute to addictive behaviors. It argues that social dynamics often overshadow individual willpower, challenging the traditional view of addiction as solely a personal failing. The book delves into the subtle ways peer pressure manifests, including normalized behaviors and the desire for social acceptance, highlighting how these factors can be catalysts for substance abuse and other addictive habits. For example, the book analyzes the psychological vulnerabilities, such as low self-esteem, that amplify the effects of external pressures.

The book examines the direct impact of peer influence on initiating addictive behaviors and the sustaining role of social circles in maintaining them. Through case studies and research findings, it illustrates the impact of peer pressure on various types of addiction, including substance abuse and internet addiction. The book progresses from defining peer pressure and exploring psychological vulnerabilities to analyzing specific contexts like school environments and online communities.

The book also offers practical prevention strategies for resisting peer pressure and fostering supportive environments. By understanding the dynamics of social influence, readers can develop strategies for making healthier choices. This approach makes the book valuable to students, parents, educators, and mental health professionals seeking to prevent addiction and support those struggling with addictive behaviors.

Putin: Game Master?

Jacques Baud

Has Vladimir Putin become the master of the game? Why and how did the Russian President decide to attack Ukraine? Did he seek to prevent Ukraine from associating with Europe? Does he seek to reconstitute the USSR? Did NATO promise not to expand east after 1990? Is the Nord Stream 2 project the sinews of war? Is Ukraine's neutrality the only solution? Has Russia ever lost or won the war?... Based on the files of the intelligence services and official reports, Jacques Baud thus reviews the events of the recent history of Russia, which led to the war with Ukraine; it analyzes the various disputes between the West and Russia, and sheds light on the role that Putin plays today on the international scene. Colonial Jacques Baud is a former member of the Swiss Strategic Intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of Doctrine of the United Nations Peace Operations. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, including after the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and 2017. He is the author of several books on intelligence, war and terrorism, including Putin, Game master?, Governing by Fake News and The Navalny Affair, all published by Max Milo.

Moving House and other Poems...

Gillian Bickley

The old is contrasted with the new, fictional with actual life. Links are made between different cultures, different lives, different experiences. The expatriate life-style of constant movement runs parallel with the title of the book.
"Gillian Bickley writes as she responds to everyday events, always with the echo of 'time's winged chariot' in her ears. The fact of moving house sends her speeding back through the moves of a lifetime and forward to the last move, to the small room of the grave. The opening poem suggests the elusive presence of the author, and the deeper themes glimpsed through her deceptively simple poems. The variety of human life and the individual response to life, these are Gillian Bickley's central interests. The power that invigorates the poems in Moving House is the control of language. In this bare, tight poetry, no idle words are allowed. Its vocabulary draws on the base language of essences and epiphanies. The chosen spare language is the perfect partner for this poetry of mature experience." — Emeritus Professor I. F. Clarke and M. Clarke.
"The poetic observations of a sensitive writer responding to the reality of being alive." "Insightful probing into the darker issues of our lives . . . to make sense of human experience." — Paul Bench, Speech & Drama: Journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama.
"A privileged view into the emotional, intellectual and spiritual life of its writer." "The profound intimacy of the personal poems, reflecting universal truths about the human condition, renders the reader at once intruder and confidant." — Solveig Bang, Sunday Morning Post.
"Bickley's delicately-crafted poems are faithful word portraits of various aspects of Hong Kong at the turn of the millennium: its landscape, its people, its myths and spirits." —Tammy Ho, Asian Review of Books.

Descartes' Meditations

René Descartes

Rene Descartes is often described as the first modern philosopher, but much of the content of his Meditations on First Philosophy can be found in the medieval period that had already existed for more than a thousand years.Does God exist? If so, what is his nature? Is the human soul immortal? How does it differ from the body? What role do sense experience and pure reason play in knowing?Descartes stands out from his predecessors because of the method he developed to treat these and other fundamental questions. Drawing on his study of mathematics, he searches for a way to establish absolutely certain conclusions based on indubitable premises. His importance in modern philosophy lies in the challenge he offers to every subsequent thinker in philosophy and science.© Agora Publications
