  An engaging exploration of the wondrous social webs that permeate life in animal societies around the world. 
   
   
   
  It's all about who you know. Whether vampire bats sharing blood meals for survival, field crickets remembering champion fighters, macaque monkeys forming grooming pacts after a deadly hurricane, or great tit birds learning the best way to steal milk—it pays to be well connected. 
   
   
   
  In this tour of the animal kingdom, evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin reveals a new field of study, uncovering social networks that existed long before the dawn of human social media. He accessibly describes the latest findings from animal behavior, evolution, computer science, psychology, anthropology, genetics, and neurobiology, and incorporates interviews and insights from researchers he finds swimming with manta rays, avoiding pigeon poop, and stopping monkeys from stealing iPads. With Dugatkin as our guide, we investigate social networks in giraffes, elephants, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, whales, bats, and more. From animal networks in Australia and Asia to Africa, Europe, and the Americas, The Well-Connected Animal is an eye-opening exposé of wild friends, enemies, and everything in between.

  How Polarization Begets...

  Samuel Merrill III, Thomas L....

  Extreme polarization in American politics is perhaps the most confounding political phenomenon of our time. This book binds together polarization in Congress and polarization in the electorate within an ever-expanding feedback loop. This loop is powered by the discipline exerted by the respective political parties on their Congressional members and district candidates and endorsed by the voters in each Congressional district who must choose between the alternatives offered. Tight national party discipline produces party delegations in Congress that are widely separated from one another but each ideologically narrowly distributed. 
   
   
   
  As district constituencies become more polarized and are egged on by activists, parties are further motivated to appeal to their respective bases rather than to voters in the ideological center. America has indeed acquired parties with clear platforms—once thought to be a desirable goal—but these parties are now feuding camps. What resolution might there be? Just as the progressive movement slowly replaced the Gilded Age, might a new reform effort replace the current squabble? Or could an asymmetry develop in the partisan constraints that would lead to ascendancy of the center, or might a new and over-riding issue generate a cross-cutting dimension, opening the door to a new politics? Only the future will tell.

  Invisible Wounds - Understanding...

  You are not crazy. You are not weak. You are not broken. You are injured. And injuries can heal. 
  For decades, John Boyle looked successful on the outside—Harvard graduate, business leader, husband, father—but inside, he was unraveling. Panic attacks, emotional spirals, chronic tension, and a body that never felt safe followed him everywhere. What he never knew was that the source of his suffering wasn’t weakness. It was Complex PTSD, the invisible wound formed in a childhood home ruled by fear, volatility, and silence. 
  In Invisible Wounds, John takes readers on a vulnerable and deeply human journey through the reality of childhood trauma and the lifelong effects it leaves on the mind and body. With gripping storytelling, trauma-informed insight, and a faith-filled lens, he reveals how C-PTSD shapes relationships, sabotages confidence, fuels perfectionism, and quietly rewires the nervous system. Along the way, readers meet the frightened boy he once was, the man that didn’t have everything all together, and the survivor he ultimately became. 
  Blending personal narrative with practical guidance, John offers clarity for those who have been misdiagnosed, misunderstood, or told to “just get over it.” He explains emotional flashbacks, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, dissociation, and the physical symptoms trauma imprints on the body. Most of all, he speaks directly to the reader who feels overwhelmed, ashamed, or unseen. 
  If you have ever wondered Why am I like this? Why can’t I move on?, this book will help you name what hurts without judgment and discover the lifelines that make healing possible. 
  Honest, compassionate, and hope-filled, Invisible Wounds is a lifeline for every survivor searching for language, understanding, and a path forward. Start the journey toward healing today.

  Radionics and Life Force...

  Martin K Ettington

  Radionics is the term for machines which manipulate life forces. This is often for healing or increasing psychic perceptions. 
  The Author is an engineer and has many decades of experience with the paranormal and well as time learning and experimenting with radionics devices from the 1970s. 
  While radionics devices are often considered pseudoscience, those opinions don’t take into account the sensitivities of individuals who have incredible paranormal and healing abilities. 
  In my first year of engineering school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York I met a man who became my mentor in the Paranormal and other things too. This was in 1973. 
  I learned to meditate and how to open my crown chakra to take in vital forces which allowed me to do many things including healing others. 
  In addition I also met another middle aged guy at a Psychic Fair in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was a researcher in the arcane field of Kirlian Photography. 
  In this book the history of radionics is discussed, some of the major influencers on that history, how these devices are used for healing, and even some plans for building radionics devices.  
  My hope is that this book will give you a good grounding in radionics to learn to use it productively for your own efforts.

  'Anoushka writes with the curiosity of a researcher and the tenderness of a storyteller - her begums simply refuse to be forgotten.' - Sadaf Hussain, author and chef 
  'Lifts the purdah of history from splendid Mughal women... painting their pain and power for posterity.' -Koral Dasgupta, author of The Sati Series 
  'Brings long-neglected women vividly to life, turning history's hidden stories into modern-day lessons.' -Manish Gaekwad, author of The Last Courtesan 
   
  History rarely shines a light on the formidable Mughal begums who boldly navigated the imperial courts, brokered powerful deals, reshaped Delhi's skyline, created private spaces for women, fought battles and resisted patriarchy - all from their place behind the purdah.  
  In Badass Begums, Anoushka Jain introduces you to ten such Mughal-era women whose lives rippled with ambition, romance, intrigue and fierce resilience. Jahanara Begum, Shah Jahan's favourite daughter who designed Chandni Chowk and her sister, the firebrand Roshanara Begum, who schemed with Aurangzeb to take over her father's empire; the invincible Begum Samru, a tawaif-turned-ruler, who led her own army into battles; Maham Anga and Mubarak Begum, whose counsel rivalled that of chief ministers, and the resolute Qudsia Begum who built riverfront gardens only to see them battered by rebellions - these and other stories come alive in a riveting narrative and walking tour maps of the places they lived in or curated.  
  Based on rigorous research and written with warmth, Badass Begums is an eye-opening journey through the breathtaking legacies still hidden in the by-lanes of Delhi.
