  Monsters of the Upside Down, beware! Travis Langley (author of the acclaimed Batman and Psychology) returns with a group of expert contributors to explore these and other questions to shine a light on true human nature through the Netflix series and cultural phenomenon Stranger Things. When do feelings of grief, guilt, depression, fear, and isolation tear us down, and how do we transform them into hope, inspiration, forgiveness, acceptance, and motivation to do what's right? Growing up is hard enough without metaphors for the dangers that lurk in life's shadows springing to life in the form of monsters, villains, conspiracies, and enemy soldiers. Stranger Things Psychology: Life Upside Down descends into the dark side of adolescence to find the light on the other side of the ultimate coming-of-age story.

  Luba Empire - Central Africa's...

  The Luba Empire emerged as one of the most influential kingdoms in Central Africa during the pre-colonial period. Rooted in a rich tradition of oral history and cultural heritage, the empire played a central role in shaping trade, political organization, and social structures throughout the region. The Luba people developed a sophisticated society that not only thrived on local commerce but also participated in expansive regional networks, connecting diverse communities across the African continent. 
  The formation of the Luba Empire was marked by a blend of indigenous traditions and innovative political practices. At its core was a system of governance that efficiently harnessed local resources, maintained internal stability, and forged strategic alliances with neighboring groups. This centralized authority, balanced by localized autonomy, enabled the empire to mediate conflicts and expand its influence through both diplomatic and military means. The administrative techniques developed during this era laid the groundwork for a resilient state capable of adapting to shifting economic and social dynamics. 
  Economically, the Luba Empire became a beacon of trade and craftsmanship. Its strategic location allowed it to serve as a vital crossroads for commerce, facilitating the exchange of valuable goods such as salt, iron, and agricultural products. The empire’s success in trade was not only a product of its abundant natural resources but also of the innovative methods its people employed in agriculture, metallurgy, and artisanal production. These economic activities formed the backbone of a prosperous society that celebrated both practical skills and cultural achievements, fostering an environment of continuous growth and learning.
