Sinopsis

Origins of Religion explores the genesis of early belief systems and their impact on human civilization. It examines how fundamental human needs drove our ancestors to create gods and spirits, shaping social structures and moral codes.

 
The book suggests religion arose not merely from ignorance or fear, but as a complex system fulfilling essential societal functions like promoting cohesion and providing emotional support. Early humans may have attributed supernatural agency to natural phenomena due to evolved cognitive biases.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with key concepts and methodologies before exploring themes like animism, shamanism, ancestor worship, and polytheism. Archaeological evidence, anthropological studies, and comparative mythology support the analysis of specific beliefs and practices.

 
The book uniquely integrates cognitive, evolutionary, anthropological, and historical perspectives to understand religion's emergence and evolution.

    Ugh As If!: Clueless

    A sweet and sly exploration of the Jane Austen–inspired teen movie and its evergreen imperative to be kind, do better, and find the activist within
     
    We are totally butt-crazy in love with Clueless. Since the movie’s premiere in 1995, pop culture has mined Amy Heckerling’s high school comedy for inspiration, from Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX’s “Fancy” music video to Cher’s iconic yellow plaid suit appearing at every Halloween party.
     
    In Ugh As If!, Veronica Litt argues that this seemingly fluffy teen romp is the quintessential thinking woman’s movie, one in which the audience is asked to seriously consider the beauty and power of naïveté. Cher Horowitz’s gradual pivot from oblivious it girl to burgeoning activist is a powerful reminder that even the most unlikely people can change for the better and contribute to their communities. In this bright, shiny film, pursuing a more just society isn’t just possible — it’s enjoyable. This fun, feminine, feel-good movie is a counter-narrative to nihilism, a refusal to give into cynicism, hopelessness, and passivity. Almost without viewers noticing, Clueless teaches Cher, and us, how to become better. Like the film it examines, Ugh As If! nudges even the most jaded viewer into feeling hopeful about the future.

    The World War That Changed the Story of Women explores the seismic shifts in women's roles brought on by the First World War. It delves into the pivotal moment in history when the seeds of modernity were planted and women stepped into the public sphere. It was the watershed event that inaugurated passports to travel, daylight-saving’s time, central banks in every country, and, alas, women in the workforce. From mothers and housewives, they became secretaries and factory workers, nurses and organizers. The reader is invited to witness a penetrating exploration of how a global conflict became a turning point in the story of women's rights and their transformation into an emerging economic powerhouse.

    *Introduced by Rory Stewart* 
    What makes a person good? What does it mean to be evil? And what does it tell us about being human? 
    Philosophers have been grappling with these questions for thousands of years, and they remain as vital as ever in our present moment. Here, in a selection of essays each written by a different world expert, we explore the ideas of twelve strikingly different philosophers. From Hannah Arendt’s 'banality of evil' to Nietzsche’s embrace of suffering, from John Stuart Mill’s ethics of happiness to the ruthless realism of Machiavelli, there is an approach for readers of all persuasions. This is the book for anyone trying to understand how humans can sometimes behave so badly, and how we can all be better. 
    Dive into the GOOD AND EVIL, the latest literary masterpiece edited by Andrew Irwin, as it delves into the moral themes of philosophy. This non-fiction book, a top pick among individual readers, is a must-have for anyone seeking to understand the subjects of good and evil.

    A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach
    
    KEY FEATURES 
    - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules
    - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules
    - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners
    - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text

    - Uniquely stylised illustrations

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    Iron Legacy - Childhood Trauma...

    Donna Bevan-Lee had a tough childhood. When her father was feeling playful, he roped her by the foot like a rodeo calf, yanking her to the ground every time the rope connected. In darker moods, he did far worse, his brutality excused by a complicit church. The abuse she suffered had profound and lasting consequences. 
    Too many adults have similar histories. Roughly a quarter of American children experience complex trauma resulting from abuse, neglect, catastrophic illness, or other adversity. Because such trauma affects the developing brain, it's not something we outgrow; it permanently alters our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and behavior, often without our awareness. It derails our plans, sabotages our relationships, and convinces us that we're unworthy of happiness. It makes us vulnerable to addiction, obesity. depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and early death. It is a challenge like no other. 
    Dr. Bevan-Lee met the challenge of her childhood and helped other survivors to meet theirs. Now she has distilled her history. cutting-edge research, and four decades of clinical experience into a book for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Full of up-to-date information, practical help, compelling stories, and clear-eyed encouragement, this book is a comprehensive guide to recognizing and overcoming childhood trauma, written by someone who has been there.
