Sinopsis

In "The History of Duelling (Vol. 1 & 2)," J. G. Millingen provides a comprehensive and meticulously researched account of the practice and cultural significance of duelling across various societies and historical periods. With an engaging narrative style, Millingen deftly intertwines anecdotes, legal perspectives, and philosophical musings, revealing duelling as not merely a violent pastime, but as a complex ritual steeped in notions of honor, social status, and morality. The work reflects the Enlightenment's fascination with human behavior and societal norms, calling attention to the psychological and ethical dimensions that have historically governed the practice of duelling. J. G. Millingen, an accomplished physician and author, presents this work drawing on his extensive knowledge of human nature and societal constructs. His background in medicine and psychology, coupled with his acute awareness of the social mores of his time, informs his critical exploration of the motivations behind duelling. By situating the practice within a broader discourse of honor and ethical conduct, Millingen highlights the intersection of personal and societal dynamics that contributed to the prevalence of duelling in his era. For scholars of social history, literature, or ethics, Millingen's "The History of Duelling" is an invaluable resource that illuminates the intricate relationship between individual agency and societal expectations. As an essential reference for understanding the evolution of honor culture, this text invites readers to reflect on the implications of duelling in contemporary discussions of conflict resolution and personal integrity.

    For many women, the lack of knowledge surrounding ADHD's unique presentation in their lives has led to feeling misunderstood, criticized, frustrated, and alone. Female biology is complicated, and the mainstream understanding of ADHD often simplifies a condition that isn't simple.One thing we are quickly learning about ADHD in women is that the role of emotions and emotion dysregulation have been underemphasized in the ADHD criteria. Think about it: If it's hard to control our behavior, it will, by default, be hard to control our emotional responses. And this relationship is amplified for girls, who are more susceptible to anxiety and depression than boys.Allow Me to Interrupt takes a deep dive into the most unjustifiably underrecognized ADHD symptom: emotion dysregulation. In an effort to educate, inspire, and support other women with ADHD, clinical psychologist and writer, Dr. Gilly Kahn, shares other women's and girls' ADHD stories along with her own.As women with ADHD, we are misunderstood, underappreciated, and unidentified. But it isn't too late to interrupt the status quo, correct misperceptions, and describe the very real emotional lives of girls and women with ADHD.

    The Mere Exposure Effect is a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to an increased preference for that stimulus. This effect occurs without any active engagement or deep processing from the individual. Simply put, the more we encounter something, the more likely we are to develop a liking for it, even if we don’t consciously realize why. This effect can apply to a wide range of stimuli, from people and objects to sounds, images, and even ideas. The central principle behind this concept is that familiarity breeds fondness. 
    First identified by psychologist Robert Zajonc in the 1960s, the Mere Exposure Effect has become a cornerstone of psychological research, illustrating the powerful impact that repeated exposure can have on human preferences. Zajonc’s studies showed that individuals tend to rate unfamiliar stimuli more favorably after repeated presentations, even when they are not consciously aware of the exposure. His work demonstrated that this preference for familiar stimuli occurs across various domains, from simple shapes to more complex social contexts. 
    The Mere Exposure Effect is often seen in everyday life. For example, we might find ourselves gravitating toward a particular song after hearing it multiple times on the radio, even if we initially didn’t like it. Similarly, we may develop stronger connections to people we encounter frequently, whether in our personal lives or in the workplace. This effect also plays a crucial role in the success of advertising campaigns, where repeated exposure to a brand or product can significantly influence consumer behavior, often leading to a preference for those products.

    The Tairona civilization emerged in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a mountainous region in present-day northern Colombia. This environment, with its dense forests, rivers, and proximity to the Caribbean coast, provided the resources necessary for the development of a complex society. The origins of the Tairona can be traced back to around 200 CE, when early communities began establishing settlements in the highlands and along the coast. These groups developed distinct cultural traditions that set them apart from other indigenous societies in the region. 
    Archaeological evidence suggests that the Tairona were part of the broader Chibchan linguistic and cultural family, which included other groups in Central America and northern South America. Their language and customs connected them to a vast network of indigenous peoples, yet they developed a unique identity characterized by their architectural achievements, goldsmithing skills, and intricate social structures. Unlike nomadic tribes, the Tairona built permanent settlements that evolved into thriving city-states. These cities were connected by a network of stone-paved roads, stairways, and terraces, showcasing an advanced understanding of engineering and urban planning. 
    The natural landscape played a crucial role in shaping the early Tairona civilization. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta provided fertile land for agriculture, allowing them to cultivate maize, beans, and cassava. The coastal regions, on the other hand, gave them access to an abundance of marine resources, including fish and shellfish. This diversity of food sources enabled population growth and the expansion of settlements. Over time, the Tairona developed irrigation systems and terraced farming techniques to maximize agricultural production, ensuring food security for their communities.
