Beschreibung

Absurd Traffic Laws explores the peculiar world of traffic regulations, revealing how historical accidents, political influence, and bureaucratic inertia have led to rules that often defy logic. Many seemingly nonsensical regulations, such as rules about animals crossing roads or outdated speed limits, stem from historical precedents enshrined in legal codes. Political dynamics also play a crucial role; lobbying efforts by various interest groups can result in inefficient or even dangerous traffic laws. The book argues that existing traffic regulations aren't always based on safety or fairness but are unintended consequences of various pressures. Once a law is passed, bureaucratic inertia makes it difficult to change.

 
The book progresses by first introducing traffic law's history and principles, then examining specific examples of absurd laws and their origins, structured around historical legacies, political influences, and bureaucratic processes. This analysis offers a unique perspective by combining historical insights with political commentary, providing practical recommendations for a more rational and effective transportation system. By understanding these underlying causes, readers can advocate for traffic law reform and contribute to a more equitable system.

    This book bundle takes an in-depth look at one of the most insidious forms of psychological manipulation: gaslighting. In this comprehensive 3-in-1 volume, which includes Gaslighting, Obfuscation, and Self-Deception, readers explore the methods that abusers use to distort their victims' perception of reality and undermine their sense of self. 
    Gaslighting, a tactic where an abuser manipulates another into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity, is explored in vivid detail. Obfuscation highlights the ways in which truth is hidden, twisted, or obscured to confuse and control the victim, while Self-Deception reveals how individuals, often unknowingly, buy into the lies and manipulation, resulting in internalized confusion and self-doubt. The book delves into the complex psychological dynamics of these manipulative strategies and the emotional toll they take. 
    Through powerful case studies and expert analysis, Gaslight Nation empowers readers to recognize these harmful behaviors in their own lives and offers practical steps for breaking free from the cycle of deception and regaining clarity. Whether in personal relationships or larger societal contexts, this book serves as a crucial tool for understanding the devastating effects of gaslighting and finding a path to healing and truth.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that has garnered widespread recognition for its effectiveness in treating trauma, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is founded on the concept that distressing memories can become “stuck” in the brain, leading to emotional and psychological difficulties. By using bilateral stimulation—usually in the form of guided eye movements—EMDR aims to facilitate the processing of these memories, enabling individuals to integrate them in a way that reduces emotional distress. 
    At its core, EMDR is grounded in the understanding that trauma can impair the brain's natural processing abilities. When a traumatic event occurs, the brain’s memory systems may not fully encode the memory, leaving the experience fragmented and unresolved. As a result, individuals may experience intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and heightened emotional responses associated with the unresolved trauma. EMDR aims to "unstick" these memories and allow the brain to reprocess them, turning them from vivid, emotionally charged experiences into less distressing memories that can be stored in a more adaptive manner. 
    The key to EMDR's effectiveness lies in its use of bilateral stimulation. During the therapy session, the client follows the therapist’s fingers or another form of rhythmic bilateral stimulation (e.g., auditory tones or tactile taps) while focusing on distressing memories. This process is thought to mimic the natural mechanisms the brain uses during REM sleep, a stage associated with memory consolidation and emotional processing. By engaging both hemispheres of the brain in this way, EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories, alleviating their emotional charge and reducing their impact on daily life.

    We live in a world that has become secularized, marked by ideology and partisanship. In such a world, how are we supposed to know what is right and wrong? As Christians, how are we supposed to approach the social issues of our day? With conflicting voices surrounding us, how can we hear and know the voice of Jesus Christ and receive His teachings? 
    As Christians, we seek to live the way of the Lord Jesus, but that’s easier said than done. We want to demonstrate the Lord’s love and kindness to all men and women, but we’re faced with issues that cause us to discern what that looks like and how it’s virtuously expressed. We want to do what is right and good, but trying to determine right and wrong can at times be confusing and unsettling. 
    The teaching authority of the Church is here to help. Appointed by Jesus Christ, our shepherds discern, interpret, and apply His teachings to our everyday lives. 
    The Church’s Social Doctrine, by Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, is an approachable, easy-to-read guide on eight of our most pressing social issues. The book applies divine wisdom and the guidance of the Church as it dissects oft-debated topics, presenting helpful teaching so that the reader knows how to navigate today’s contentious world with conviction and a clear conscience. 
    The book answers: 
    • Why is abortion above all other social issues in importance? 
    • Can immigration be both moral and limited? 
    • What is the Christian responsibility to the environment? 
    • How are we called to approach the LGBTQ+ movement? 
    • Is healthcare a human right? 
    • When can artificial nutrition and hydration be suspended for a dying relative? 
    • Is the Critical Race Theory within the bounds of justice? 
    • Why can’t women be ordained priests?

    American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
     
     
     
    As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
     
     
     
    The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.
