Sinossi

Breadwinner Role Fades examines the decline of the traditional male breadwinner model in American society since 1950, exploring its economic and social consequences. This transformation isn't solely about increased female workforce participation; it's deeply linked to broader economic shifts and evolving social norms. The book uses U.S. labor data to analyze the multifaceted implications, including its impact on income inequality and family stability.

 
The book investigates how the rise of the service sector, the decline of manufacturing jobs traditionally held by men, and increased educational attainment among women have all contributed to this shift. For example, the decline in manufacturing jobs meant that a segment of the labor force that usually had one primary earner started needing to find new solutions. It also explores how changing gender roles and policies have affected labor force participation, ultimately influencing household income distribution and the rise of dual-income and single-parent families.

 
Beginning with the historical context of the male breadwinner model, the book progresses through detailed analyses of labor statistics, demographic research, and policy implications. It offers a data-driven perspective on the interplay of economic forces and social dynamics, providing valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding modern American family dynamics.

    The food we consume each day often seems simple — bread, cereal, snacks, and beverages that fill grocery store shelves. Yet behind these seemingly ordinary products lies a hidden world of chemicals, additives, and artificial ingredients that most consumers never notice. While food labels provide some insight, the reality is that many harmful substances are deliberately disguised with complex names or misleading descriptions. This secrecy has allowed big food companies to use potentially dangerous ingredients while marketing their products as safe, natural, or even healthy.  
      
    One major reason these additives are so widespread is their role in extending shelf life, enhancing flavor, and improving texture. Preservatives, for example, allow products to last for months or even years without spoiling. While this may seem convenient, some preservatives have been linked to serious health concerns such as hormonal disruption, digestive issues, and even increased cancer risks. Similarly, flavor enhancers like monosodium glutamate (MSG) are designed to trigger cravings and increase consumption, yet they may also contribute to headaches, fatigue, and neurological problems.  
      
    Artificial sweeteners, another common additive, are often marketed as healthier alternatives to sugar. However, studies suggest that these substances may interfere with metabolism, increase the risk of obesity, and disrupt gut bacteria. Even seemingly harmless color additives — used to make processed foods appear vibrant and appealing — have been linked to behavioral changes in children and allergic reactions in some adults.

  • From Outer Space to Inner Space - An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds - cover

    From Outer Space to Inner Space...

    The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond. 
    In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.  
    For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.  
    Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.  
    From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.  
    Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.

    This book contains the following two titles: 
    If the South Had Won: The American Civil War's Alternate Ending - The outcome of the Civil War changed dramatically in this alternate history, with the South emerging victorious. The Confederacy’s early victories redefined the course of the conflict and set the stage for a dramatically different future. One of the key factors in the South’s triumph was the strategic advantage gained in the opening years of the war. With superior military leadership, especially from General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy was able to exploit the Union’s weaknesses and win crucial battles that would eventually shift the momentum in their favor. The Battle of Gettysburg, for instance, saw Confederate forces turning the tide of battle in their favor. With the Union forces retreating, the South captured key northern territories, including Washington D.C., which became a symbol of Confederate dominance. 
    Red Dawn: What If the Soviets Had Prevailed in the Cold War? - The Cold War, which dominated much of the 20th century, was a clash of ideologies, political ambitions, and global power struggles. It was a battle between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, each determined to impose its vision of the future upon the world. The Cold War never boiled over into full-scale war, but the fear of nuclear annihilation and the constant threat of conflict shaped the political landscape. But what if the Soviet Union had won this prolonged battle, and the world as we know it had unfolded differently?

    We are all born with a certain degree of empathy. For some people, this quality is extremely intense and difficult to manage, leading them to be labelled “highly sensitive” or “empaths.” These individuals are often misdiagnosed with conditions such as anxiety or depression because their emotional sensitivities are so pronounced. However, new research is emerging that suggests highly sensitive empaths can actually thrive in life if they learn how to manage their sensitivities properly. 
    Highly sensitive people (HSP) are a unique breed. They make up only around 15-20 per cent of the population and are known for their heightened intuition, deep empathizing abilities, and propensity for introspection. This makes them incredibly insightful and caring individuals, but can also lead to a lot of stress and overwhelm.

    There is a growing interest in American secession. In February 2023, Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that "We need to separate by red states and blue states." Recent movements like Yes California have called for a national divorce along political lines. A 2023 Axios poll shows that 20 percent of Americans favor a national divorce. These trends show a sincere interest in American secession, and they will likely increase in the aftermath of the 2024 Presidential election.Proponents of secession make three arguments: the two sides have irreconcilable differences; secession is a legal right; and smaller political units are better. Through interviews with secessionist advocates in America, Ryan Griffiths explores the case for why Red America and Blue America should split up.But as The Disunited States shows, secession is the wrong solution to the problem of polarization. Red and Blue America are not neatly sorted and geographically concentrated. Splitting the two parts would require a dangerous unmixing of the population, one that could spiral into violence and state collapse. Drawing on his expertise on secessionism worldwide, he shows how the process has played out internationally—and usually disastrously. Ultimately, this book will disabuse listeners of the belief that secession will fix America's problems.
