  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.

  This Very Short Introduction brings together a wide range of narratives of slavery across a broad historical period to understand how Black people—enslaved and not-enslaved—have experienced and imagined slavery. It also investigates how slavery's long reach and afterlife has continued to shape Black life in the twenty-first century. By giving attention to the narratives produced during the last two hundred plus years, this volume examines American chattel slavery as a specific historical period that legally ended in 1865, and yet recognizes its impacts, effects, and significance as extending into the twenty-first century. Slave narratives tie the life of slavery its abolition with its afterlife and the reconfigurations that followed—Black Codes, Jim Crow segregation, and many other forms of disenfranchisement.Robert J. Patterson examines so-called "traditional" slave narratives alongside writings from non-enslaved Black people in the nineteenth century, the imaginative works of twentieth century fiction, and twenty-first century cinema to create a compelling and informative introduction to the long historical arc of slavery woven into the cultural and political fabric of America.

  We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics. We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology. Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that "Man is the measure of all things."
