Beschreibung

Puns Explained offers a deep dive into the world of puns, exploring why these simple forms of humor elicit such varied reactions. By examining puns through linguistic analysis, cognitive psychology, and historical context, the book reveals how they exploit ambiguity and semantic overlap. Did you know that understanding puns involves complex mental processes, including resolving semantic incongruity? Or that puns have been used in rhetoric since ancient times? This exploration moves beyond the surface to show how puns shape our understanding of language and the world. The book systematically progresses, starting with core linguistic concepts and transitioning into cognitive aspects, drawing from research in cognitive psychology. It then embarks on a historical journey, demonstrating the shifting roles and social significance of puns. By integrating these perspectives, Puns Explained provides a comprehensive framework for understanding puns and their relevance to fields like education and therapy, offering valuable insights into crafting effective humor and understanding how humor functions as a coping mechanism.

    You already know the pattern. You lose control in moments you want to hold together. You react in ways that surprise even you. You push people away when you want to pull them closer. And afterwards, you wonder why you keep repeating the same thing. 
    The Triggered Wolf is for anyone who has ever felt hijacked by their own emotions — as a parent, a partner, a leader, or simply as a person trying to hold it all together. 
    This book reveals what sits beneath the reaction. Not the behaviour on the surface, but the nervous system pattern underneath it. The imprint years that shaped how you respond. The emotional needs that drive your triggers. The fear that wears the mask of control. 
    This is not a book about trying harder. It is about understanding what is actually happening — and learning how to lead yourself and the people you love from regulation, not reactivity. 
    Written by Jyee Byrne, founder of Wolfpack Support Services and creator of The Wolfpack Way framework. Part of The Wolfpack Way series.

    Since September 11, 2001, Seymour M. Hersh has riveted readers -- and outraged the Bush Administration -- with his stories in The New Yorker magazine, including his breakthrough pieces on the Abu Gharaib prison scandal. Now, in Chain of Command, he brings together this reporting, along with new revelations, to answer the critical question of the last three years: how did America get from the clear morning when hijacked airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to a divisive and dirty war in Iraq? 
    Hersh established himself at the forefront of investigative journalism thirty-five years ago when he broke the news of the massacre in My Lai, Vietnam, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Ever since, he's challenged America's power elite by publishing the stories that others can't or won't tell. 
    In Chain of Command, Hersh takes an unflinching look behind the public story of President Bush's ""war on terror"" and into the lies and obsessions that led America into Iraq. With an introduction by The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, Chain of Command is a devastating portrait of an Administration blinded by ideology and of a President whose decisions have made the world a more dangerous place for America.

    A story of faith, fanaticism, and the uncanny power of the imagination.
    
    
    
    The dawn of the Victorian era: the world is changing rapidly. Poverty and the workhouse cast long shadows across rural England, and a traditional way of life is coming to an end.
    
    
    
    In the villages and fields of Kent, the discontented find an unlikely champion in John Nicholls Tom. Calling himself 'Sir William Courtenay', he appears to the local magistrates and gentry as a madman, a charlatan, or a dangerous radical. But for the labouring people he is the New Messiah, come to lead them in a revolt against the forces of oppression, and to herald the end of the world.
    
    
    
    But equality and wealth redistribution are dangerous ideas, and in May 1838 Tom's crusade ignites into bloody violence. The confrontation that follows will shock the country, and become known as the last battle ever fought on English soil.
    
    
    Mad Tom's Rising presents an alternative vision of early Victorian England, as a place of mystical religious faith, riot and disturbance, surveillance and insecurity, arson and uproar. Drawing on original sources, it reconstructs the strange and astonishing events of that time, and the lives and experiences of those forever marked by them.
