Sinopse

"Book Evolution" traces the remarkable journey of the book, from ancient scrolls to modern ebooks, highlighting its profound impact on society. The book examines how pivotal shifts in format, like the invention of the printing press, revolutionized not only information storage but also education and governance. Each chapter explores the social, political, and economic conditions that facilitated these technological advancements, revealing how the book's evolution is intertwined with broader cultural and intellectual shifts.

 
The narrative begins with early manuscripts, detailing their creation and role in monastic culture, before diving into the printing press era and its democratization of knowledge. The digital age, with ebooks and audiobooks, is then analyzed for its challenges and opportunities.

 
A central argument is that the book's form actively shapes its content and understanding, offering a unique perspective on the reciprocal relationship between technology and society. The book draws upon primary sources and interdisciplinary scholarship to provide a comprehensive account suitable for students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by the history of media.

Actionable Ethics (With a...

Daniel Natal

Actionable Ethics is part of a larger regimen of ethics training, for the company (but, more broadly-speaking, for life). What makes it different is the fact that it shares techniques gleaned from neuroscience on how to make moral behavior habitual. As Aristotle said, “Excellence is not an act, but a habit." Almost every other ethics book or course available addresses itself to the front of the brain (where executive function takes place). Actionable Ethics, by contrast, addresses itself to the back of the brain, where habit-formation occurs, to create positive behaviors, or, as Cicero put it thousands of years ago, a “second nature”.

The Truth About Lying - Teaching...

PhD Victoria Talwar

All children lie. But when your child lies to you, it can feel like a personal betrayal. 
 
    
 
Lying is a healthy and inevitable part of child development. But when do lies become a problem? In this book, psychologist Victoria Talwar, director of the Talwar Child Development Lab at McGill University, presents practical, science-based strategies to address lying and foster truthfulness in children, from early childhood to the teenage years. 
 
  
  
Kids need to learn what honesty looks like in different social situations, and also how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others' feelings—a complicated task! Parents and caregivers will learn how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty, and how to model honest behavior for children. Talwar shows listeners how to respond effectively when a child lies (as they inevitably will). Backed by years of psychological research, this common-sense, practical guide reveals which parenting strategies promote truthfulness in children—and which ones don't.
