Sinopse

In "The Provincial American and Other Papers," Meredith Nicholson offers a compelling exploration of American identity during the early 20th century, merging observations of cultural shifts with incisive social commentary. Through a series of essays and reflections, Nicholson examines the nuances of provincial life, articulating the tensions between rural traditions and emerging urban realities. His literary style is marked by a blend of vivid imagery and reflective prose, encapsulating the spirit of a nation in transition while employing a tone that is simultaneously nostalgic and critical of contemporary developments. Meredith Nicholson, a prominent figure in American literature, was born in 1866 and hailed from Indiana'Äîa landscape that profoundly influenced his work. His deep appreciation for regionalism, alongside his experiences in literary circles, drove him to examine the dichotomies of American society. Nicholson'Äôs involvement in Progressive Era politics provides a backdrop for his writings, infusing them with a sense of urgency and relevance as he navigates the complexities of cultural and social change. This collection is highly recommended for those interested in the intersections of cultural identity and social critique. Nicholson'Äôs keen observations and rich prose invite readers to reflect on their own perceptions of provincial versus urban existence, making it a vital addition to any exploration of American literary heritage.

    What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it. 
     
    Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. 
     
    NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction', how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light. 
     
    Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence - unviable for most people - The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ¬- and therefore the real people around us.

This began in 1972 when he cofounded a CIA-sponsored ESP research program at Stanford Research Institute. The program yielded such incredible results as the description of a secret Russian weapons factory in Siberia and the location of several kidnapped US officials, including the ambassador to Iran. The founders also trained six Army intelligence officers to create an Army psychic corps that became known as Stargate.Third Eye Spies will introduce you to the most successful and gifted remote viewers in the world along with the evidence of their psychic abilities. Remote viewing is the opportunity to describe and experience objects and events in the distance, the past, and the future. Targ shares the simple techniques masters of remote viewing use to expand the mind’s eye beyond one’s physical location. With Third Eye Spies, you will be able to step beyond the boundaries of your physical body and learn to live with psychic abilities.

    Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
     
    A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.
