Synopsis

"The Silver Standard" explores how silver once acted as a silent power, influencing global empires and economies, far preceding modern paper currency. The book highlights silver's critical role in shaping world commerce and monetary systems, examining its rise as a globally recognized store of value. One intriguing aspect is how silver's inherent qualities, like malleability and relative scarcity, made it perfect for coinage, driving trade and impacting political power. The book argues that silver was more than just a commodity; it was the linchpin of early globalization, connecting continents in unprecedented ways.

 
The book uses a global perspective connecting disparate regions and historical periods through silver. Beginning with the concept of commodity money, it progresses to analyzing specific historical periods and regions, detailing silver's production, distribution, and use in various economies. A key point is the examination of the Spanish silver boom in the Americas and its effects on Europe and Asia.

 
The book concludes by exploring the legacy of the silver standard, drawing parallels to current monetary policy debates and modern discussions about digital currencies.

    The creator of the Polyvagal Theory explains the principles in simple terms that are accessible to all. 
     
     
     
    Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, its basic idea—that the level of safety we feel impacts our health and happiness—has radically shifted how researchers and clinicians approach trauma interventions and therapeutic interactions. Yet despite its wide acceptance, most of the writing on the topic has been obscured behind clinical texts and scientific jargon. 
     
     
     
    Our Polyvagal World definitively presents how Polyvagal Theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, best, healthiest, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn't. 
     
     
     
    Filled with actionable advice and real-world examples, this book will change the way you think about your brain, body, and ability to stay calm in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming and stressful.

    Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
     
     
     
    In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
     
     
     
    From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
     
     
     
    ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
     
     
     
    ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
     
     
     
    ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
     
     
     
    This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.
