Beschreibung

In "Civilisation 1914-1918," Georges Duhamel delves into the profound transformations wrought by the Great War, exploring its impact on society, culture, and human psyche. Written in a reflective and poignant style, Duhamel's work is infused with an acute awareness of the disillusionment and social upheaval that characterized the early 20th century. The collection of essays underscores the stark contrast between the romanticized ideals of civilization and the brutal realities of war, situating the discourse within a broader literary context influenced by existentialism and modernist thought, which sought to grapple with the chaos of contemporary existence. Duhamel, a prominent figure of French literature as well as a physician, was deeply affected by the experiences of the war, both personally and professionally. His background informed his nuanced perspective on the intersection of human suffering and cultural evolution. Throughout his career, Duhamel advocated for a more empathetic understanding of the human condition, and this work crystallizes his philosophical reflections on what civilization truly means amid the madness of conflict. Readers seeking a profound examination of the intersection between war and society will find "Civilisation 1914-1918" an essential read. Duhamel's eloquent prose and thoughtful insights make this book a captivating exploration of the enduring scars left by war, encouraging readers to reflect critically on the nature of civilization and its vulnerabilities.

    Despite decades of medical and psychological research confirming that masturbation is healthy, the act remains shrouded in taboo and pseudoscience. In DIY, Dr. Eric Sprankle reveals the untold story of crusaders on a long campaign to suppress masturbation and the sex educators fighting back with science. He introduces listeners to a colorful cast of characters: doctors advocating for the use of chastity devices, wellness influencers who believe ejaculation depletes the body of vital nutrients, pastors who preach that masturbation creates mermaids, and vibrator aficionados who teach the curious how to come. DIY will challenge what you think you know about the very human need for self-pleasure. 
     
     
      
    Part sex-positive exposé, part fascinating science, DIY spotlights generations of sex education countering anti-masturbation pseudoscience with empowering truths about pleasure.

    From one of America's sharpest conservative journalists is this searing, thought-provoking and hilarious takedown of the ruling class running amok in Washington. These are your elected officials. Some are slyly taking advantage of the system. They are hoping no one is savvy enough to notice. But Matt Lewis has. And this is what he’s learned.  Today’s politicians are an unsavory lot—a hybrid of plutocrats and hypocrites. And it’s worse (and more laughable) than you can imagine. Lewis will introduce you to a crop of latte liberals, ivy league populists, insider traders, trust-fund babies, and swamp creatures as he exposes how truly ludicrous money in politics has gotten.  In Filthy Rich Politicians, Lewis embarks on an investigative deep dive into the ridiculous state of modern American democracy—a system where the rich get elected and the elected get rich. One of the brightest conservative writers of his generation, Lewis doesn’t just complain: he articulates how Americans can achieve accountability from their elected leaders through radically commonsense reforms. But many of these ruling-class elites have a vested financial interest in rejecting the reforms so desperately needed to rebuild Americans’ trust in the institutions that once made our nation great.  This is not an “eat the rich” kind of book, and it is not for those who want to stoke class warfare, topple the whole regime, and burn it all to the ground. This is a must-read book for thoughtful readers who yearn for transparency and will commit to holding their elected leaders accountable to those they are supposed to represent—we the people.  The reforms spelled out in this book would incentivize good behavior in our leaders, stymie corruption, and prevent politicians from using the system (and our taxpayer dollars) to feather their filthy rich nests.  It is only by taking these steps to reform the system that we can rebuild trust in our institutions and preserve American democracy for future generations. There really is no richer inheritance we could leave them.
