Sinopse

"Censorship Humor" explores the powerful role of comedy as a tool for resistance against oppressive regimes. It examines how humor, particularly political satire, becomes a subtle yet potent form of political defiance. The book reveals the strategic ways comedians navigate censorship and use satire to expose absurdities, ultimately contributing to social and political change.

 
It analyzes the subversive nature of satire, highlighting the resilience of comedic expression, and its socio-political impact under authoritarian rule. For example, comedians have historically used irony and parody to critique those in power while minimizing repercussions. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts of humor theory and censorship. It then analyzes specific case studies from various countries and historical periods such as the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. It dissects how comedians utilized different comedic techniques to critique those in power while evading detection or minimizing repercussions.

 
Finally, the book examines the long-term effects of comedic resistance and its implications for contemporary free speech debates and activist movements. This approach provides insight into the ingenuity and bravery of individuals who dared to speak truth to power, often at great personal risk, and offers valuable lessons for navigating contemporary challenges to freedom of expression.

    The Child Attachment Handbook

    Infants are born with a variety of intrinsic behaviors that help them survive. In times of need or suffering, the infant's attachment behavior allows them to bring others towards them. Infants that have experienced a solid attachment bond acquire a strong expectation of feeling protected and safe, allowing them to explore their surroundings with greater confidence. Our attachment instinct, shared by most mammals, is a fundamental adaptation for survival in infancy. When newborns are scared, anxious, feel ill, or are threatened, their attachment system is triggered. In this stage, infants will commence proximity-seeking behaviors such as weeping, clinging, or following with their eyes in babies, and more verbal or complex behaviors in older children toward their primary attachment figure (normally a parent or the main caregiver). The attachment method can be removed once proximity and reassurance have been reached. Seeking help and the various techniques an individual takes to get aid are the foundations of the attachment process.Based on repeated contact with significant others, the child develops a set of mental models of itself and others in social interactions in response to parenting behavior. These early attachment interactions are critical for subsequent social relationships, emotional and stress regulation capacities, self-control, mentalization, and emotional maturity. As a result, a child who forms insecure or disorganized relationships, maybe due to mistreatment or placement in several foster care homes, is more likely to suffer in these areas and exhibit emotional and behavioral challenges.

    Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie.

    At a time of fierce political divisiveness, From Here to Security is a refreshingly balanced, non-ideological guide to solving what may be our nation's most pressing policy challenge: achieving retirement security for all. 
     
     
     
    A pioneer of the 401(k) system, Robert L. Reynolds eschews radical calls for throwing out the 401(k) entirely and creating a new government-run savings system. Our best course, he shows, is to build on what we have: a flexible, dynamic private-public system of Social Security and more robust workplace savings. From Here to Security provides a clear, powerful new approach to solving America's retirement challenge—based on facts, data, and Reynolds's decades of experience. 
     
     
     
    While fearmongers claim that the US retirement system is on the verge of collapse; Reynolds shows why our system is actually the envy of the world. But From Here to Security is no status quo book. 
     
     
     
    Reynolds lays out an action agenda to dramatically improve our retirement systems—public and private—lift our savings rate, improve people's retirement prospects, spur faster growth—and reboot America's national morale.
