    Screen Damage - The Dangers of...

    All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of two, children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day; by the time they reach thirteen, it's more than seven hours a day. Added up over the first eighteen years of life, this is the equivalent of almost thirty school years, or fifteen years of full-time employment. 
     
     
     
    Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens. 
     
     
     
    Michel Desmurget, a leading neuroscientist, has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents, and his assessment does not make for happy listening: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health, behavior, and intellectual abilities of young people, and strongly affect their academic outcomes.

    The War after the War is a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments. In the South, African American and white unionists formed a successful biracial coalition that elected state and local officials. White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments. The repercussions of these political setbacks would be felt for decades to come. 
     
     
     
    With this book John Patrick Daly examines the political and racial battles for power after the Civil War, as white supremacist terror, guerrilla, and paramilitary groups attacked biracial coalitions in their local areas. The biracial coalition put up a brave fight against these insurrectionary forces, but the federal government offered the biracial forces little help. After dozens of battles and tens of thousands of casualties between 1865 and 1877, the Southern Civil War ended in the complete triumph of extremist insurrection and white supremacy. As the United States marks the 150th anniversary of the Southern Civil War, its lessons are more vital than ever.

    Life The Goal

    "Life The Goal" by Jiddu Krishnamurti is a profound exploration of the human condition and the quest for meaning and fulfillment. In this book, Krishnamurti delves into the fundamental questions that have perplexed humanity for centuries: What is the purpose of life? What is the nature of truth? How can one find lasting happiness and freedom? 
    Krishnamurti argues that man is like a cloud, hurried along by the winds of life without a fixed purpose or understanding of life's meaning. He emphasizes the importance of embracing all experiences, both pleasant and painful, as essential for a full and meaningful life. Through introspection and self-discovery, Krishnamurti proposes that the ultimate goal of life is the liberation of the self from all desires, experiences, sorrows, and struggles. 
    Central to Krishnamurti's teachings is the concept of Truth as the eternal goal, transcending the limitations imposed by beliefs, religions, and ideologies. He challenges the reader to cultivate a deep understanding of life, free from external authority and dogma, and to embrace doubt as a crucial tool for uncovering essential truths. 
    "Life The Goal" offers a thought-provoking and transformative journey toward self-awareness, freedom, and genuine fulfillment. It invites readers to reevaluate their beliefs, question societal norms, and embark on a path of inner exploration and enlightenment.
