Sinopse

In "The First American King," George Gordon Hastings weaves a compelling narrative that explores the emergence of American identity during a transformative period in the nation's history. Blending historical fiction with socio-political commentary, Hastings employs a richly evocative literary style characterized by lush descriptions and vivid characterizations. Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, the novel delves deeply into the struggles, aspirations, and contradictions faced by its characters, positioning itself within the larger context of post-colonial literature that interrogates concepts of authority and self-governance. George Gordon Hastings, an esteemed historian and novelist, has long been fascinated by the duality of American traditions—both democratic ideals and monarchical aspirations. His extensive research into the founding fathers' intentions and the socio-political milieu of 18th-century America informs his narrative choices and character development in this work. Hastings' unique perspective, shaped by his academic background and personal exploration of American history, guides readers through the moral complexities of leadership and loyalty. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of American history and identity. Hastings's thought-provoking prose not only entertains but also invites readers to engage with the philosophical questions surrounding governance and the human condition. "The First American King" is an essential addition to the canon of American literature that will resonate with both history enthusiasts and literary scholars alike.

    For F*ck's Sake - Why Swearing...

    Rebecca Roache

    Why do we love to swear so much? Why do we get so offended when others do it? 
     
     
     
    In this lively and amusing exploration of the various puzzles that surround swearing, philosopher Rebecca Roache argues that what makes swearing offensive is not really the words at all: the offensiveness lies in what we don't say. The unspoken—and usually unconscious—inferences that speakers and listeners make about each other are key to explaining swearwords' capacity to shock. Swearing is unique among etiquette breaches in that it is designed to convey disrespect—swearing packs more of a punch than failing to say "please." 
     
     
     
    Roache helps listeners understand how swearing works, celebrating its power as a communicative tool and source of humor while also taking a close and serious look at specific words—those directed at women and women's bodies, for example—that function in particular, complex ways. She also examines the often-hypocritical ways swearing can be punished or censored. 
     
     
     
    Finally, Roache helps listeners appreciate that swearing isn't always bad. When it's not used offensively, it can foster social intimacy, can help people withstand pain, and might even help us curb our violent impulses.

    In "Social Intelligence," Daniel Goleman explores how our relationships affect the brain, health, and well-being. He proposes that humans are biologically programmed to connect emotionally and distinguishes between two neural pathways: a fast, intuitive one (the low road) and a rational, conscious one (the high road). Goleman introduces concepts such as emotional contagion, empathy, mirror neurons, and the importance of attachment from infancy. 
     Goleman also differentiates between I/Thou relationships, based on genuine connection, and I/It relationships, which are more impersonal. He warns about the risks of the "dark triad" (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) and the emotional blindness that can affect individuals with trauma or autism spectrum conditions. He emphasizes that social intelligence is not innate but moldable through experience and environment, thanks to social epigenetics. 
     The author analyzes how love, leadership, education, and emotional health are influenced by our social skills. He also critiques the negative impact of technology and the mechanization of the medical system on empathy. Finally, Goleman advocates for a more compassionate society where social intelligence is cultivated through cultural, educational, and community efforts to improve our lives and relationships.

    In the wake of the blockbuster television success of "Dancing with the Stars," competitive ballroom dance has become a subject of new fascination—and renewed scrutiny. Known by its practitioners as DanceSport, ballroom is a significant dance form and a fascinating cultural phenomenon. In this first in-depth study of the sport, dancer and dance historian Juliet McMains explores the "Glamour Machine" that drives the thriving industry, delving into both the pleasures and perils of its seductions. She further explores the broader social issues invoked in American DanceSport: representation of "Latin," economics that often foster inequality, and issues of identity, including gender, race, class, and sexuality. Putting ballroom dance in the larger contexts of culture and history, Glamour Addiction makes an important contribution to dance studies, while giving new and veteran enthusiasts a unique and unprecedented glimpse behind the scenes.
