Sinopsis

Crossword Evolution explores the surprising journey of crossword puzzles from a simple newspaper game to a significant element of popular culture, cognitive science, and education. The book argues that crosswords serve as more than just entertainment; they are a reflection of collective intellect and a tool for cognitive enhancement. Intriguingly, the crossword's invention is traced back to Arthur Wynne in 1913, and its popularity surged as a morale booster during challenging times. The book delves into the crossword's historical development, its impact on cognitive function, and its place within newspaper culture.

 
Drawing on cognitive psychology and neuroscience, the book examines how regular puzzle solving can improve memory and problem-solving skills. Crossword Evolution distinguishes itself by blending historical narrative with analysis of cognitive research and cultural trends. The book progresses from the crossword's origins to its cognitive benefits and its enduring presence in popular media. It also addresses controversies surrounding brain training games, offering a balanced view of evidence.

 
Ultimately, the book presents the crossword as an engaging form of cognitive exercise that benefits individual mental well-being and society's intellectual life.

    The Hidden History of Texas, Volume 1 - 1530 to 1820 
     
    This is the often-untold story of the history of Texas from when the Spanish first set foot into Texas until they relinquished control to Mexico. This is the story of the original inhabitants of the land and their interactions with both the Europeans they encountered and other indigenous people of the time. The events that took place during that time, laid the groundwork for what was to come. The story is filled with heroes and villains and looked at it through the eyes of the people who lived it. 
      
    It is called the Hidden History of Texas, because if you don’t dig, you’d never know about it or these people. It’s not taught in the schools other than a brief mention of some of the more famous Indian tribes. Without these people and their activities, it is doubtful many of us would be here today.

    Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
     
    A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.
