Sinopse

The Code of Hammurabi is a Babylonian legal text composed during 1755–1750 BC. It is the longest, best-organised, and best-preserved legal text from the ancient Near East. It is written in the Old Babylonian dialect of Akkadian, purportedly by Hammurabi, sixth king of the First Dynasty of Babylon. The primary copy of the text is inscribed on a basalt stele 2.25 m (7 ft 4+1⁄2 in) tall.

The stele was rediscovered in 1901 at the site of Susa in present-day Iran, where it had been taken as plunder six hundred years after its creation. The text itself was copied and studied by Mesopotamian scribes for over a millennium. The stele now resides in the Louvre Museum.

Leonard William King (8 December 1869 – 20 August 1919) was an English archaeologist and Assyriologist educated at Rugby School and King's College, Cambridge. He collected stone inscriptions widely in the Near East, taught Assyrian and Babylonian archaeology at King's College for a number of years, and published a large number of works on these subjects. He is also known for his translations of ancient works such as the Code of Hammurabi. He became Assistant Keeper of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum.

    "We are poor people, we are simple people, but we have hearts and souls too."
    
    Before the psychological labyrinths of Crime and Punishment, a young Dostoevsky captured the world's attention with this exquisite epistolary novel. Through a series of increasingly desperate letters, we witness the relationship between Makar Devushkin, a lowly, aging copy clerk, and Varvara Dobroselova, a fragile young seamstress. Living in squalid rooms across a dismal St. Petersburg courtyard, they exchange words of comfort, shared bread, and the flickering hope of a better life. Poor Folk is a searingly intimate portrait of the "little man" struggling to maintain his humanity in a society that views him as nothing more than a smudge on a ledger.
    
    The Birth of Psychological Realism: Dostoevsky takes the traditional "sentimental" epistolary form and infuses it with a brutal, modern realism. He elevates the clerk—a figure usually mocked in Russian literature—to a tragic hero. Makar's obsession with his social standing and his desperate attempts to appear "respectable" even as he starves reveal the deep psychological scars of class inequality.
    
    A Tragedy of Self-Sacrifice: As their financial situation deteriorates, the letters become a battleground between love and survival. Makar's selfless devotion to Varvara leads him to ruin, while Varvara is forced to make a heart-shattering choice between the man who loves her and the safety of a wealthy, predatory suitor. It is a story that proves the greatest tragedies are often the quietest ones, occurring behind closed doors in the poorest corners of the city.
    
    Witness the soul of a genius in its first bloom. Purchase "Poor Folk" today and experience the novel that changed Russian literature forever.

    Until recently, one idea has dominated research in treating Alzheimer’s disease: the amyloid hypothesis. Those therapies have repeatedly fallen short, and in this audiobook we take a look at where that hypothesis stands today. We examine recent research into the spectrum of disease causes, including inflammation and immune dysfunction; cutting-edge treatments, including deep-brain stimulation and magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound; as well as lifestyle interventions that can help protect from disease.

    Shopping addiction, pathological buying, or compulsive buying disorder are all mental health conditions characterized by the persistent, excessive, impulsive, and uncontrollable purchase of products despite severe psychological, social, occupational, and financial consequences. Unlike ordinary non-addicted shoppers, who buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social approval/recognition, and improve their self-image, compulsive buyers buy to improve their mood, cope with stress, gain social support/recognition, and improve their self-image. Although the consequences of long-term compulsive buying include feelings of regret/remorse for purchases, shame, guilt, legal and financial problems, and interpersonal difficulties, people with compulsive buying fail to stop buying.  
    In this book, you will learn:What is compulsive shoppingThe causes of compulsive shoppingThe marketing strategies companies use Treatments that can lead to a solution to the problemHow to regain mental and psychological health
