  Influence - The Science of...

  This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
  Book 1 - In today’s world, our perception fundamentally shapes our reality. This explains why two people can have entirely different interpretations of the same event. The meaning we assign to events stems from our beliefs and emotions. So, can altering our perception actually change our world? If so, how can this be achieved? And if it's possible, how can we mold our reality to create a better one? 
  What we see defines what we believe, and what we believe dictates what we consider true. Our sense of truth then becomes our reality. Thus, our perception molds our reality. Although we share the same world, we each focus on our own perceived truths. Even though everyone has eyes, each person views the world in a unique way. It’s easy to find what we’re looking for, but harder to notice what we’re not searching for. For example, one person might see a glass as half-full while another sees it as half-empty. 
  Book 2 - Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women. 
  One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring.

  In Foundations, Karin Speedy takes us on a whirlwind journey through time and space as she navigates intersecting personal, local, family and global histories, stories that help her reckon with who she is and where she stands in this complicated (post)colonial world. If colonialism, slavery, violence and heartbreak feature heavily in her memoir so too do friendship, love, poetry, books, music, laughter and resistance. Warm, funny, quirky yet also confronting and, at times, shockingly brutal, her childhood and young adult memories bring to life the scenes and sounds of 70s, 80s and 90s New Zealand. At university, Karin's unquenchable thirst for knowledge and social justice see her embark on her first research project, a decolonial study of Louisiana Creole, research that cements her future as an anti-racist, activist scholar. Forever questioning the master narratives, digging deeper and peeling back layers to expose what lies hidden beneath and behind, Karin reminds us that history and trauma are all around us, ingrained in our lives, etched into our landscapes and at the very foundations of our cities and infrastructure. When she begins to examine her own family stories, rooted in colonisation and working-class struggle and embedded in the national histories of Aotearoa and Australia, she uncovers astonishing inter-generational palimpsests and starts to grasp the importance of listening to her ghosts. 
  About the Author 
  Karin Speedy is an interdisciplinary academic whose research weaves together her expertise in history, literature, linguistics and translation. She has published extensively on colonial and decolonial Pacific and Francophone history and literature, as well as on Creole languages, slavery and African and Indian Ocean diasporas in the Pacific. In 2013, she was awarded the John Dunmore Medal for research, recognising her major contribution to knowledge of French language and culture in the Pacific.

  "He who controls the spice controls the universe." Frank Herbert's Dune saga is the epic story of Paul, son of Duke Leto Atreides, and heir to the massive fortune promised by the desert planet Arrakis and its vast reservoirs of a drug called "spice." To control the spice, Paul and his mother Jessica, a devotee of the pseudo-religious Bene Gesserit order, must find their place in the culture of the desert-dwelling Fremen of Arrakis. Paul must contend with both the devious rival House Harkonnen and the gargantuan desert sandworms—the source of the spice. The future of the Imperium depends upon one young man who will need to lead a new jihad to control the universe. 
   
   
   
  Dune and Philosophy recruits twenty-three philosophers to sift wisdom from Frank Herbert's Duniverse, including the first of an expected series of films following Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides and his descendants, captivatingly brought to the big screen in 2021. Substantial yet accessible chapters address philosophical questions including: 
   
   
   
  ● Is it morally right to create a savior? 
   
   
   
  ● Would interplanetary travel change human nature? 
   
   
   
  ● In conflict, how can you stay light years ahead of your opponents? 
   
   
   
  ● Does history repeat itself?

  Mythology and Symbolism -...

  Mythology has long served as a means for civilizations to interpret the world, explain natural phenomena, and pass down cultural values. At the heart of these ancient stories lies symbolism, a powerful tool that conveys deeper meanings beyond the literal narratives. Symbols in mythology are not just decorative elements but vessels of wisdom, embodying universal truths that transcend time and geography. Whether representing divine power, cosmic forces, or the human experience, these symbols continue to influence art, literature, and philosophy. Understanding them allows for a deeper appreciation of ancient myths and their lasting relevance.  
  Symbols in mythology often serve as bridges between the physical and spiritual worlds. Many ancient cultures used them to express concepts that were otherwise difficult to articulate. For example, the serpent appears in myths across civilizations, representing both wisdom and deception, life and death. The world tree, found in Norse, Mayan, and Hindu traditions, symbolizes the connection between heaven, earth, and the underworld. These recurring motifs highlight the shared human fascination with life’s mysteries and the interconnected nature of different belief systems.  
  The study of mythological symbols also sheds light on the values and priorities of ancient societies. A thunderbolt, wielded by gods such as Zeus and Indra, signifies divine authority and raw power, reflecting the belief in the supremacy of celestial forces. In contrast, sacred animals, such as the Egyptian scarab or the Greek owl, represent wisdom, transformation, or protection, illustrating how people sought guidance from the natural world. Ritual objects, from swords to chalices, often hold dual meanings, symbolizing both material and spiritual power.
