Sinossi

"Time Capsules" explores the captivating world of intentional historical preservation, focusing on vessels buried to communicate with future generations. These caches, filled with carefully selected artifacts, offer unique insights into past societies, revealing their values, hopes, and fears. The book examines how these deliberate burials evolved from rudimentary practices to technologically advanced projects, driven by a growing desire to commemorate progress, especially during the rise of world expositions. Understanding the historical context and motivations behind these capsules allows us to decode the cultural narratives embedded within them.

 
The book argues that these capsules offer uncensored glimpses into the past, surpassing traditional historical accounts by providing direct, unedited testimony. For example, the selection of specific objects reflects a culture's priorities and worldview. Each chapter introduces the concept of time capsules, tracing their origins and motivations, before delving into specific case studies from around the world, including wartime projects and personal legacies. By analyzing the contents of these capsules, the book uncovers nuanced details about daily life, technological advancements, and societal values, offering a unique perspective for history enthusiasts and researchers.

 
The book's approach is fact-based and accessible, avoiding sensationalism while focusing on rigorous interpretation of historical preservation efforts. It progresses by exploring the evolution of time capsules, analyzing their contents, and considering the ethical implications of opening and interpreting them.

    Every person is wired for love differently—with different habits, needs, and reactions to conflict. The good news is that most people's minds work in predictable ways and respond well to security, attachment, and routines, making it possible to neurologically prime the brain for greater love and connection and fewer conflicts. This go-to guide will show you how. 
     
     
      
    Drawn from neuroscience, attachment theory, and emotion regulation, this highly anticipated second edition of Wired for Love presents cutting-edge research on how and why love lasts, and offers ten guiding principles that can improve any relationship. This fully revised edition also includes new guidance on how to manage disagreements, as well as new exercises to help you create a sense of safety and security, establish healthy conflict ground rules, and deal with the threat of the third—any outside source which threatens the harmony in your relationship, including in-laws, alcohol, children, and affairs. 
     
     
     
    By using simple gestures and words, you'll learn to put out emotional fires and help your partner feel appreciated and loved.

    Joining the ranks of such acclaimed accounts as Manic, Brain on Fire, and Monkey Mind, a deeply personal, funny, and sometimes painful look at anxiety and its impact from writer and commentator Kat Kinsman. 
    Feeling anxious? Can’t sleep because your brain won’t stop recycling thoughts? Unable to make a decision because you're too afraid you’ll make the wrong one? You’re not alone. 
    In Hi, Anxiety, beloved food writer, editor, and commentator Kat Kinsman expands on the high profile pieces she wrote for CNN.com about depression, and its wicked cousin, anxiety. Taking us back to her adolescence, when she was diagnosed with depression at fourteen, Kat speaks eloquently with pathos and humor about her skin picking, hand flapping, “nervousness” that made her the recipient of many a harsh taunt. With her mother also gripped by depression and health issues throughout her life, Kat came to live in a constant state of unease—that she would fail, that she would never find love . . . that she would end up just like her mother. 
    Now, as a successful media personality, Kat still battles anxiety every day. That anxiety manifests in strange, and deeply personal ways. But as she found when she started to write about her struggles, Kat is not alone in feeling like the simple act of leaving the house, or getting a haircut can be crippling. And though periodic medication, counseling, a successful career and a happy marriage have brought her relief, the illness, because that is what anxiety is, remains. 
    Exploring how millions are affected anxiety, Hi, Anxiety is a clarion call for everyone—but especially women—struggling with this condition. Though she is a strong advocate for seeking medical intervention, Kinsman implores those suffering to come out of the shadows—to talk about their battle openly and honestly. With humor, bravery, and writing that brings bestsellers like Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson to mind, Hi, Anxiety tackles a difficult subject with amazing grace.
