Erotic Drawings - And Their Unconscious Meanings

Gerald Schoenewolf

Summary

Gerald Schoenewolf, a noted New York psychoanalyst, has collected his erotic drawings into one volume and provided an introduction and an ongoing commentary on the drawings.   There are 96 drawings, all done in the author's distinctive style, where young women are portrayed with weird, elongated breasts, vaginas with teeth, sitting in trees full of snakes, lying spread-legged with dogs, flouting strange smiles or seductive pouts on their faces.  These are whimsical, childlike drawings that are appealing and entertaining while at the same time revealing the author's unconscious cravings, fetishes, angers, aversions and other neurotic sexual inclinations.  In his introduction, Schoenewolf boldly analyses the traumas of his childhood and connects them to the symbols in the drawings, defining them as a new kind of psycho-art.  These drawings are similar in style (though perhaps not in artistic merit) to the erotic drawings of Picasso.  This is a book for psychologists and those interested in psychology as well as people who like art and particularly erotic art.  As the author proclaims at the end of his introduction, "Oh well!  Let's face it!  This book will appeal to everybody!"

Manipulation - What It Is Why...

Cass R. Sunstein

New technologies are offering companies, politicians, and others unprecedented opportunity to manipulate us. Sometimes we are given the illusion of power—of freedom—through choice, yet the game is rigged, pushing us in specific directions that lead to less wealth, worse health, and weaker democracy. In Manipulation, nudge theory pioneer and New York Times bestselling author Cass Sunstein offers a new definition of manipulation for the digital age, explains why it is wrong, and shows what we can do about it. He reveals how manipulation compromises freedom and personal agency, while threatening to reduce our well-being; he explains the difference between manipulation and unobjectionable forms of influence, including "nudges"; and he lifts the lid on online manipulation and manipulation by artificial intelligence, algorithms, and generative AI, as well as threats posed by deepfakes, social media, and "dark patterns," which can trick people into giving up time and money. Drawing on decades of groundbreaking research in behavioral science, this landmark book outlines steps we can take to counteract manipulation in our daily lives and offers guidance to protect consumers, investors, and workers.

Cyrus the Great: The Enthralling...

Billy Wellman

Cyrus the Great was a humanitarian, a diplomat, a military strategist, and a ruler of the largest empire the world had ever seen up to that point.
Cyrus the Great was a remarkable man who became a legend in his own lifetime. The greatest testament to his good character and great achievements came to us via Persia’s enemies: the Greeks. It is said he served as an inspiration to Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Cyrus gained such hero status that his heritage was still claimed by the last shahs of Iran in the 20th century CE.
His policies included freedom of religion, equality of wages, and freedom of speech. His cultural and societal activities set in motion what we know today as human rights. The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America incorporates the major points Cyrus II of Persia focused on during his reign.

Deep Reading - Practices to...

Julie Ooms, Rachel B. Griffis,...

This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth. 
 
 
 
The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices—distraction, hostility, and consumerism—that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
 
 
 
Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ—such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion—and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deepreading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
