Sinopsis

Oddest Human Phobias explores the intriguing world of irrational fears, delving into phobias so unique they might seem unbelievable. It investigates the science behind these anxieties, aiming to help readers understand how and why such specific fears develop. For instance, the book highlights conditions like chromophobia (fear of colors), nomophobia (fear of being without a mobile device), and globophobia (fear of balloons), illustrating their impact on daily life through detailed case studies.

 
These unusual phobias, though seemingly bizarre, are rooted in identifiable psychological and neurological processes. The book progresses logically, starting with the fundamental concepts of phobias, distinguishing between fear, anxiety, and phobia. It then examines specific categories of unusual phobias, providing research findings and case studies. Finally, it explores available treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy.

 
Readers will gain insights into the psychological mechanisms underpinning phobias, from evolutionary origins to learned responses. Understanding phobias is key to destigmatizing mental health conditions and promoting empathy. The book emphasizes empirical evidence while avoiding jargon, making it accessible to anyone curious about psychology and mental health.

    Few know the blockchain space as well as Brandon Zemp. Here Brandon offers readers a peek into the dizzying growth of this field, from the emergence of Bitcoin to the proliferation of other tokens such as Ethereum and Solana, to the dramatic rise and fall and rise again of the crypto financial markets. While savvy investment in this growing space can make you rich, Zemp shows how the real wealth will come from blockchain’s capacity to improve human lives, from medicine to transportation to art. The introduction of blockchain-powered decentralized finance will challenge a banking industry in desperate need of reform, empowering billions around the globe by reclaiming power from big banks and state-sanctioned fiat currencies. Zemp concludes by offering guidance for those who want to participate in this movement. There is space for everyone, and fresh opportunities are emerging each day. The only ones who will be left behind are those who refuse to see that the twenty-first century belongs to blockchain. That time is already here.

    Body Art - The Ultimate Form Of...

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    It could easily be argued that body art is more popular than at any time in history. In days long gone by, sailors were the most heavily tattooed sector of society, but for decades now, that sector is the youth, which is a larger group than those who put to sea. 
    Not only has actual tattooing found a wider demographic, but technology has expanded the methods that can be employed to enhance our bodies. Nowadays, for example, you can get a fake tattoo that will last a couple of days for a special event. In a similar vein, women can be body-painted and the casual observer would be forgiven for not seeing a naked lady. 
    This doesn’t work so well for men, for obvious reasons! 
    You can also get fake tans, hair dyes, and nail varnishes that can easily be applied at home. There are also teeth whitening, cheap wigs, and coloured contact lenses available. Not to mention cheap sunglasses and fake glasses of numerous kinds. 
    The ultimate form of body art is plastic surgery. Many ordinary people aspire to plastic cut, tucks and nips these days – it is not only the privilege of the rich and famous. In fact, some countries, like Thailand, offer holidays that include plastic surgery (and other forms), so that your friends will hardly recognise when you return from a month’s holiday! 
    In fact, with all the options for body art available on a typical Western high street, no-one need look the same two days running! 
    The information in this ebook on various aspects of body art and related subjects, such as piercing, body painting and tattoos, is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who like to write a diary and blog, or would like to, plus webmasters who need content for their online publications.

    Australia on the Brink

    In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australia’s environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. The 2021 report determined that, ‘Overall, the state and trend of the environment of Australia are poor and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and resource extraction,’ and warned of the dramatic impact on our health and living standards. It is now clearer than ever that the consequences of long-term inaction are upon us.Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. But the international trends are equally worrying, with quixotic economic systems casting doubt on the wisdom of running down our domestic production of essential goods and services in favour of a dependence on trade. It is no exaggeration to conclude that Australian society itself is at risk.In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best – perhaps our only – chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.

    Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery.
     
    At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?
     
    They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.
     
    In this book, you will explore pre-Columbian links between civilizations of the Old World and civilizations of the New. You’ll read about unexpected connections between Mexico and tribes north of the Rio Grande. You’ll also discover that ancient ruins from North American civilizations still exist, that these ruins tell dramatic stories, and that they can still be visited today.
     
    On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved.
