Sinossi

Wordplay Wonders explores the captivating world of puns, jokes, and linguistic humor, revealing the art and science behind crafting clever language. This comprehensive reference delves into how wordplay, including semantic ambiguity and phonetic similarity, has been used throughout history as entertainment and social commentary. For example, Shakespearean jesters used puns to comment on political affairs, illustrating wordplay's power beyond mere amusement. The book uniquely combines linguistic analysis with cultural and psychological insights, guiding readers from core concepts to diverse applications in literature, advertising, and daily conversation. It progresses through chapters examining techniques like syntactic manipulation and their cognitive impact, highlighting how understanding wordplay enhances communication skills and appreciation for language's playful side.

    This is a combo of biographies about the following well-known individuals: 
    Marie Curie - Marie Salomea Skodowska Curie was a Polish-born, naturalized-French researcher and chemist who originated radioactivity research. She was the first woman to win the Nobel Reward, the first and only woman to win it two times, and the only individual to win the Nobel Reward in 2 different clinical classifications. 
    Her first Nobel Reward was co-won by her spouse, Pierre Curie, making them the first married set to win the reward and developing the Curie family tradition of 5 Nobel Prizes. She was the first woman to be selected as a teacher at the University of Paris in 1906. 
    Nostradamus - Michel de Nostredame, referred to as Nostradamus in Latin, was a French astronomer, doctor, and presumed seer mostly known for his work Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains supposedly predicting future events. In the year 1555, the book was first released. 
    Since the release of his Les Prophéties, Nostradamus has acquired a very large following of followers who, in addition to the majority of the well-known press, credit him with properly anticipating many essential historic events. 
    Alan Turing - Alan Mathison Turing was a mathematician, computer system researcher, scholar, cryptanalyst, thinker, and theoretical biologist from the U.K. With the Turing device, which can be considered a design of a general-purpose computer system, Turing had a substantial influence on the development of theoretical computer technology, offering a formalization of the ideas of algorithm and calculation.

    This is a bundle of 3 titles, which cover the following topics: 
    Title 1: Learning to understand ourselves, the dark and the light, the kind and the cruel, that exists within each one of us, has been a driving factor in psychological studies. 
    Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait which sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate, deceive, and exploit others to achieve their goals. This audiobook will dive deeper into this topic along with related factors, such as how they control and manipulate others and the consequences that come with it. This audiobook will shed some light on how to spot a manipulator and how to outwit one. Listen about various blackmail tactics and how to spot and avoid some of the most common scams on the internet. 
    Title 2: Since our various vehicles were created, from the train, to the car, to the plane, to the sub, to the rocket, our world has gotten so much smaller, now, space is the last great frontier. There is another unknown great frontier, one that we are only beginning to discover, the human mind, especially the subconscious. Our emotions, our thoughts, that gut instinct telling you something isn’t right. It’s all linked to the subconscious. 
    Our subconscious is a very powerful thing, and just like every other powerful thing in the world, it’s dangerous. In fact, our own subconscious is more dangerous to us than it is to others. 
    Title 3: Abuse. It’s wrong, it’s terrible no matter what form it takes. When most of you hear the word abuse you think of one of the physical kinds of abuse. For others, they think of a different kind of abuse, verbal, emotional, psychological, and mental; there are others, but this book focuses on verbal abuse.

    (BONUS-this audio reading of The Emerald Tablets is accompanied by soothing background sounds of a healing frequency to further promote peaceful immersion into the material) Among the most powerful esoteric works in metaphysics ever recorded, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean (translated by M. Doreal) reveal a glimpse into the history of advanced Ancient Atlantis: its mechanical and scientific achievements; how it sank deep below the waves of the Atlantic; the founding of the colony that became Egypt...and the construction of its Great Pyramid.  
    The highest significance of these tablets is the keys to the unfoldment of the Heavens, the Earth, and the Divine Soul of Man; layered within its  poetic and mystical language. These Tablets are written so that the words respond to attuned thought waves, releasing the associate mental vibrations of an exhilarating rhythm in the mind of the reader.  
    A casual listen may catch a brief glimmer of the beauty behind its rhythm; but it falls upon the genuine Truth Seekers (those willing to give full attention to its wisdom) to open avenues to its most Profound Wisdom of unrivaled magnificence.
