Summary

Mirror Reflection History explores the fascinating story of mirrors, from ancient reflective surfaces to modern glass creations, revealing their profound impact on culture and self-perception. The book journeys through the science behind increasingly clear reflections, the diverse roles mirrors have played across cultures, and the philosophical implications of seeing ourselves reflected back. 

 
It's intriguing to learn how early civilizations meticulously polished volcanic glass to create mirrors, while European glassmakers guarded their mirror-making techniques as national secrets. The book emphasizes that the history of mirrors reflects humanity's evolving self-awareness. 

 
As mirrors became more accessible, they fostered new forms of self-scrutiny and artistic expression, altering how humans interacted with their image and, by extension, the world. 

 
The book begins by introducing the physics of reflection and early mirror examples, then explores their cultural significance in ancient civilizations, and finally examines the scientific breakthroughs that led to modern glass mirrors and their psychological impact.

BLEED - Destroying Myths and...

Tracey Lindeman

Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood—and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off. 
 
 
 
Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED—part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day. 
 
 
 
BLEED isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging book. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur listeners to fight for nothing short of revolution.

Keepers of the Shield

Sandy Kelly

Why would anyone spend a large portion of their life in a world that doesn’t really exist, or with friends they have never met? Those are questions anyone considering online gaming should explore. It starts out innocently enough—with the excitement, unbelievable graphics, and unique storylines that suck you into a world which can rob you of time, self-esteem, health, and the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy.The sad truth is that there are millions upon millions of people just like you and me who fall down that rabbit hole. It’s a drug, an escape, a test of our fortitude—and it can replace reality to the point of a false existence. And yet, we do it over and over, and we love almost every minute.We, who are called humans, are easily sideswiped off the road of common sense into the dumpster of adventure. I, of all people, can point this out because I spent almost 22 years, and even now—after five years away—I am still going through withdrawals.This is what some call tough love.

ChatGPT For Hire - It Never...

Omar Johnson

Outsourcing and entrusting your tasks or projects to freelancers, employees or consultants is risky because they are not always reliable. They are prone to missing deadlines, making excuses or handing in subpar work.
Such scenarios aren't just frustrating; they’re expensive, stressful, and can damage your business's reputation. Every delayed project is a missed opportunity, and every substandard delivery erodes your credibility with your customers or clients. More than that, these issues are a direct assault on your financial bottom line with funds spent on underperforming staff, lost customers, and the often-hidden costs of finding and training replacements.
In this unforgiving environment, traditional hiring models often seem more like a gamble than a strategy. But there has to be a solution, right? Meet ChatGPT, a solution that brings the promise of stability and reliability to this chaotic landscape.
Imagine a world where your 'employee' is available around the clock, needs no breaks or vacations, and is impervious to the personal issues that routinely derail human workers. This employee writes flawlessly, researches tirelessly, handles customer inquiries with tact and precision and doesn’t miss deadlines.
In his book entitled ChatGPT For Hire: It Never Sleeps and Never Makes Excuses author Omar Johnson shows you how to make the paradigm shift from hiring unreliable freelancers, employees, and consultants to empowering yourself with AI. This book is an invitation for you to explore a new paradigm, one where AI—specifically ChatGPT—becomes your go-to solution for a wide array of tasks that, until now, you depended on a human workforce to perform.
